Well yesterday, the plan was to meet up mid to late afternoon with this fella....
Well come 10pm I get an email asking if I am awake - Awake I was, looking for company, not at that time. I had organized my day around this get together only to be contacted at 10pm?
Let me go back in time for a moment....Last summer when I was seeing this one guy, he had a habit of saying, "Ill be at your place at 9:30pm"...Id straighten out a bit, freshen up, only to see that 9:30, 10:30, 11:30 had past with no sign of him. I would constantly vow that the next time I wouldn't wait. Fool that I was, cuz I had fallen in love, Id wait and wait and wait, and regardless of what time he showed, Id let him in. Risk being exhausted for work, miss work to spend the mornings with him etc. I vowed to never do that again for another guy...Well here we are about a year on, and its happening again? WTF? Thursday past we had made plans to get together, go for a swim in my bldg and order in pizza. According to this new guy, circumstances beyond his control made him not able to get together. I let it go. He asked if I was angry, to which I said no. If anything I told him, I was mad at myself and that I had spent a boring Thursday eve, when I thought I would have plans. In his email he told me he wanted to see me again as soon as possible and sent me his "availability" - This is how we worked out a Saturday afternoon get together. I get an email just past 1pm, telling me he had to work in the morning, and that he wanted to go to the island for a swim and that he would meet up with me after. We had agreed on mid-late afternoon, it worked well for me. Until 6pm, 7pm and 8pm past, I gave up, I got on with my evening as I wished and was a bit disappointed but carried on. I passed out on the sofa only to be woken up at 3:50am by my kitten pouncing on me...I got up and checked my emails as I couldn't fall back asleep right away and found his email which was sent at 10pm. He asked if I was asleep to which I wrote back that I wasn't asleep but was tired of waiting for him again and I now await his reply.
My question is, why, if you really want to see me as you say, there is no effort shown? Why do I wait? Is it something instilled in me or is it too much faith in people. The one thing I hate is non committal people, not relationship wise, but friendship wise. If we had plans to meet at 8pm, why would you show up at 10pm? Where is the logic and what possible excuse could someone give to make that all better?
I know today this fella is free and busy tonight, so will he want to get together? In response to his upcoming email, I will let him know that I set my day around our supposed get together and that I have things to to this morning and afternoon. I will leave any future get together's up to him I am putting no more effort into that as I was hurt too many times when I went through that last summer. It is something I promised myself I would never do again and here we are, twice in a matter of 3 days, its already happened. I am worth more than that and its not a good way to start a friendship.
I wont let that happen all over again -
