Best laid plans...

Today I thought my post was going to be about my excitement about the dinner date I had planned with "B" this evening. We were supposed to meet up after he took his son back to his mother's house (it was his weekend with him). However, he communicated earlier today that she just told him that she wouldn't be home until later in the evening. Too late to start a date for tonight....So the dinner plans are on hold until next weekend. And thus begins some of the insecurity that still plagues me despite my best efforts. Was this just an excuse? Being a single parent, it's definitely plausible. Hell, I have my son every single day so I know that scheduling can be a challenge. However, I can't help but wonder...

That being said, I plan on using the "once is a mistake, twice is a bad habit" rule. Whether "B" realizes it or not, he used up that first chance this weekend. Seems harsh maybe, but I'm trying to follow my friend Trenia's rules about demanding respect from the outset. I went through the effort to secure childcare so that we could go out. If he can't respect my time as much as I respect his then it's not worth pursuing any further. Hopefully, this is just a fluke since I really do enjoy talking to him. 

Anyways, hope you all are enjoying your weekend! I'm having a blast watching the Olympic coverage. Have a great day!
