Dear Nicki,
I wonder why it’s all happening to me. Here’s what happened with the new fling.
Everything seemed perfect; when I came back from the States last weekend it was his birthday and he insisted on us spending it together – just the two of us, doing something romantic. It was a great evening and he made me feel very special as he wanted to spend the day just with me. The week passed and he was very busy, but he touched base every day.. On Thursday he called and we spoke for about 20 minutes. On Friday I texted him asking if he wants to hang out later in the evening. He didn’t respond immediately- I assumed he was at work. An hour later his best friend (and my friend too) called me and asked if me and my friends had plans for the night. I said that we were probably going out and that I had texted V to come with us. Surprised, my friend responded: but V is out of town for the weekend, he had made arrangements since Wednesday, don’t you know???
I was shocked. It seems that although we were chatting the whole week, V had neglected to tell me that he was going out of town with his cousin. I felt really awkward. An hour later V texts me saying that he is out of town with his cousin and that it was a last-minute plan and that he would call. He never did.
I really wonder if it’s something I did, but really that would have to be over the phone (?), the guy insisted that we spend his birthday together and everything seemed normal. What can I say? Men. Inexplicable.
Wow.
