A month or so ago I wrote about going to my friend J-’s bbq. He’s a guy I dated last Fall and stayed friends with after he hooked up with his girlfriend. We enjoy going to shows together and chatting over beer at any number of pubs. I heard from him today for the first time since his party. It seems my e-mail and party invite landed in a folder he doesn’t check very often. This is the problem with sorting e-mails as they come in. He had me labeled as Family, which apparently is a folder mostly full of porn sent by his cousin. Oops.
It was a nice and chatty message. His girlfriend is his girlfriend (you may recall he had trouble introducing her to me) although he’s never sure whether he should say “partner” or not. Hence his hesitation. He also said she knows he’s friends with people he’s dated and that it’s fine. Whew! I feel relieved. I was worried I had offended him.
On another note, R- asked me on Friday what I had going today so I told him my tentative plans and that he was welcome to join me for any of them that sounded interesting. Apparently, none of them sounded interesting because I haven’t heard a word since. This is mostly annoying because I can see that he had time to check his online dating account, but didn’t have time to drop me a line saying, “Thanks but I have other plans” or something to that effect. It just seems kind of rude and dumb. I feel like we’re playing a game and I don’t know the rules. I think curiosity is the only reason I keep playing.
