Damn!!!!!!!!!!
Arggghhhhhhhh!!!!
She just called and cancelled for tonight.
I'm fvcking frustrated.
Too tired and too much work to do, etc, etc.
She was like "I really don't feel like going out...did you really want to go out...(pause)...or...(pause)...what did you plan on doing?"
I read this as a quick sh!t test. Did I plan on doing something and was I willing to break those plans. Would I have been supplicating if I had said "yeah no big deal let's just chill at your house?" I almost said that. Instead...
I said "My school is having a happy hour at that place you wanted to check out with the free salsa lessons". I'm like "it's perfect...we can drink for free and get the free lessons like you wanted."
She was like, "I know it sounds great, but I still have so much to do for tomorrow and I'm tired".
Then later in the convo she's like "Well I'm gonna try and exercise for a half an hour and then I think I'm gonna go over to my mom's for an hour or so. I haven't seen her in two weeks".
In retrospect, maybe I should've pushed and said - "no big deal, if you don't feel like going out, let's just rent a movie and chill at your house." I mean maybe it wasn't a sh!t test, maybe she just wouldv'e rather we stayed in tonight but she didn't want to just come out and say it. I just didn;t want to come off as needy/wussy by just saying "yeah, let's just do whatever YOU want to do."
The truth of the matter is I would much rather go over her house and watch a movie then go to this freakin' bar tonight. What's the point of fvcking free salsa lessons if you don;t have a dance partner. Fvck. I'm trying to be so conscious of not giving in to sh!t tests that I'm not letting myself speak my mind.
Why does it always have to be a goddamn power struggle?
Whatever - I'm chalking this up as a total loss - if she calls me in an effort to make plans - I'll consider it, but, I've put more than enough time and energy into this one for what little I've gotten out of it. I'm off to the bar to find another (and another and another).
Any thoughts on the above situation and how I handled it are appreciated.
