Apparently my friend wasn't looking forward to us spending time together again this weekend as much as I was. We talked a little after work on Friday and everything seemed fine - but I didn't specifically ask about getting together on Saturday to watch the movie. I thought he'd call on Saturday - he didn't. I'm not mad, but I admit I was disappointed.

That is disappointing - I have certainly been in those shoes on more than one occassion.

But take heart - the man who sees you as the one for him will find you and jump over hoops to pick you up early for the movies. He is out there you just have to wait.

Don't base your self esteem and happiness on what one man does or doesn't do. He is just not the one for you (unless he calls and apologized with a dire circumstance of course but that is the rare instance). When you find the one for you, you will be on top of the world.

HUGS!!

That is disappointing, but take heart. He may have a valid reason for not calling or making plans, or he may just not be into you. Either way, I'm so glad you took the initiative to get him the movie in the first place. I wish I could be as bold yet smooth as that!

OK - my friend needs an online name - I'm going to call him HN - short for Hot Nerd (term stolen from the girl genius blog).

Just as I got comfortable accepting the fact that him seeing me this weekend wasn't a high priority for HN and that we are better off only being friends - HN called Sunday evening just to see how my weekend went.

He has never called just to chat before - so now I'm thrown for a loop again.

We didn't talk long because I was in the middle of helping DD study for a test and had promised both kids that we'd play a game as soon as she was done. Since DD and DS had been with their dad for 3.5 days we were just getting "settled in" when HN called.

HN didn't mention the movie - but since DD answered the phone - he's smart enough to know that it would have been a no go last evening. My girlfriend who knows us both pretty well thinks that HN doesn't know my parenting schedule as well as I think he does and that he probably didn't know I was available on Saturday. She thinks his calling last night is a huge sign that he really is "into me".

So I haven't crossed him off the list - but I'd really like for him to make the next move. I'm feeling like I put myself out there enough already.
