Runaway
Wednesday night was happy hour. I invited A. I’m not sure why…I think I was scared he’d ask me to do something else with him instead and make me feel guilty if I declined.
“You know you can say no.� My (guy) friend B pointed out. And I know that is true, but I’ve been trying to give men a chance.
Sidebar: Apparently, according to a dear friend, I’m notorious for running away at warp speed when men show any minute interest in me. (It’s really no secret, I know I do it…it’s just easier than committing, getting hurt, etc.)
It was her suggestion that I give men a chance. Ha.
A “real� one. Or maybe even two chances because, well, as my mom says, “you never know.�
I have another friend who has this so-called “two date� rule where he makes sure to give the girls he dates at least two chances to see if they have any real potential. So as of late and for whatever reason I have been trying to follow the “two date� rule as well. I like to think of it as a way to ease myself in…to what, I’m not sure.
What I’ve found is that this “two date� rule is basically a free shot to either allow the other person to save face and give them a chance to redeem themselves or for me to try to redeem myself…although I’m too scared to initiate any communication at all so usually I’m not the one looking for another chance. It works for me right now. Is that so bad…or just sad?
