nothing ever changes
My friends in Utah are having a Date Night next Friday. They’re all going to dinner and then to the opening premiere of “Stardust.” I was so disappointed that I’m not able to go, because movies and evenings out have become a rarity with the Pleth since the kids started cropping up (love all of my pseudo nieces and nephews, but they did change our fun-loving times).
So I decided to recreate my own Date Night here and asked a boy from my church to be my date. Or rather, I called him on the phone and left a message. A very nice, friendly, nonthreatening, nonfreaky message. And I haven’t heard a peep since then.
Yep.
This is why I just love all of this. It’s a dinner and a movie. I’m not proposing. I’m not confessing my undying love. I’m asking for male company to talk about geeky things like fantasy and books, to eat Indian food, to find out a little more about the people that I associate with. That’s it. And all I want is an answer. Yes/No. I accept apologies, regrets, even “I don’t wanna because I think you’re lame.” I don’t accept silence. And seeing as I already asked this same guy out in April and got turned down… well, I guess it’s just time to accept defeat.
Luckily, I’ve kept my senses about me this time; while he seemed like a nice guy and I’ve enjoyed being around him, he also had some of the same characteristics like Oliver…very charismatic, funny, and flirty with everybody and I certainly learned my lesson with Oliver to be very wary.
So anybody wanna be my date on Friday? *sigh*
ETA: shirerain are you still reading LJ at all? I’ve tried to run into you on AIM a few times but haven’t seen you. And I’ve missed you and have been thinking about you. I hope you are okay.

Aw, Hon, I’d be your date if I lived near you. I know I’m not male… or single… but I’m good at talking about geeky things and Indian food sounds yummy. 🙁
Boys suck. And I do mean boys, cos men are the ones who bother to call you back in a timely fashion when you put yourself out there.

It’s very rude of him not to say anything. Even if he didn’t want to go with you, the least he could have done was say no. Grr.
I was also wondering about![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
shirerain. I hope she’s doing well.

Aww. I’m sorry. But, I hope/think that one day he’ll wise up and be more polite. I know that in my much younger days, I could have been much nicer, myself.
And I wish I could be there to go see Stardust with you!! As it is, yes, I may very well see it alone, too. First marriage, then kids, put dampers on social lives.

I agree that boys are rude and they suck. They also seem to overreact… a lot. Hope you enjoy the movie either way.
