Hi Tumbling,

The evening you have planned sounds as if it could be fun and relaxed. I'm glad that you have no expectations other than full belly, good company and to be entertained by a movie. It's Saturday, right? You may need to review the "good company" bit though as he could still be feeling tired and grumpy. The other two expectations sound reasonable!

One thing puzzles me though and maybe I'm missing something. At 5+pm you wrote, "Gosh I'm sleepy. Maybe I shld postpone? I don't mind if he canx. Bed, hot chocolate, book more appealing right now!" But when he texted an hour later about not being sure he'd make it, you responded, " that's a shame, I was looking fward to catching up but we can raincheck if you'd rather". Were you just trying to be polite? It sounds a bit pursuing to me. Especially since you thought not seeing him tonight was more appealing, I'm curious about why you didn't say, "Actually, I was thinking just the same thing!"

Anyway, it obviously didn't harm your sitch as the outcome of the texting looks like a great plan. And, I really like that he texted more words overall smile

From his track record, is he likely to stick with the plans for your evening out? Or could he retract even with a booking?

It sounds to me as if you become more ambivalent about being with him as the possibility approaches. You sounded keener to me when you were waiting for his texts when he was away.

Hope you have a really good night's sleep.

PS I really liked your butterfly story for Tori!
