Yesterday, he asked again about going to the party and if I responded on our behalf. He made comments that we should go. Its only right. (although I see his point, I am not sure why he is caring/insisting that I go). He asked again "so, we are going right?"... I answered, "yes, I am going".
First, you shoul have been honest and upfront and gave the man a decent answer the first time he ever suggested it. Instead, you have played a cat & mouse game b/c you don't have the backbone to say, "Yes, I am going to attend, but not together."
Second, the answer you finally gave.......doesn't tell him anything! I can't tell what you mean either. Go together, not together? And he didn't even know if you ever replied on behalf of both your invitations? B/c you were too spineless to tell him one way or the other, or were you playing some game to make him guess? This is not what DB means by being mysterious!
If you are feeling nervous about tonight, it's b/c you have put yourself in this position. Now you'll watch to see what he says and does.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
