You guys always ask me why I'm still single - there's many reasons. The main one is fear of commitment. You guys should know what I'm talking about because it's usually guys that have this problem, if in fact it is a problem. Anyway, I have a date Saturday. Don't worry boys, it doesn't look promising in any way and honestly I got goaded into accepting this invitation by my friends who thing they're helping me "fix" my life. No one gets that my life is exactly as I want it for now.
So while at this party the other night, my friend's husband introduced me to his co-worker. He was really nice, but I felt trapped. I like to meet guys in my own time. I was there to have fun with my friends and now I have this total stranger watching my every move all day long. I felt like meat on a stick. And while I might find that hot when I'm on NF, it's really unsettling in person.
The problem - my date is Saturday night. Today is Tuesday. I met him last Saturday. He's called me three times already - twice on Sunday and once yesterday. I feel smothered.
So I need your help - Do I ...
- go on with the date as planned,
- cancel if he calls me one more time to "chat," or
- if I go on the date, do I dress-down instead of dress-up, so maybe he'll find me uncaring and uninterested?
- if I go on the date, do I kiss him goodnight? or is that inviting him to ask me out again?
If I cancel this date, my friends may never speak to me again; if I do go I may never speak to myself again.
I think I already answered my own question, but any help you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks.
