i knew it was all going to go wrong...
so, guy number 1 had accepted my invitation for drinks last night, but he had an all day meeting and wasn't sure when he'd be done, so wasn't sure he could make it. in the end, he got back home at 8pm, and as we were both going to the same thing at 10 and he sounded pretty beat, we decided to just meet up there with the others.
i was, incidentally, feeling really bad (i should've taken that jacket with me the other day - April is indeed a treacherous month), so it was with great reluctance i left home, but as a friend was coming in just for the weekend all the way from Frankfurt, i had to go see her. unfortunately for me, she didn't show up till past 11pm, by which time my head was swimming a bit. before i left, i got about 10mns conversation time with said guy before another girl swirled in and started chatting him up. i was too tired to care and i went home.
it was just after midnight when i finally got back, and i thought of how stupid i'd been not to set up something else with the guy. so i sent him an email saying we should meet up at some other time during the weekend, then went to bed.
barely slept (second night in a row - yeah! i love being sick...), got up to buy food, tried resting a bit but nothing worked. by the time i left at 2pm, no news from the guy. i started wondering whether he had a home connection but decided that either way, as i was feeling horrible and was even considering not going into work on Monday, it didn't really matter. had to go into town to see the friend from Germany a little longer than yesterday (and catch up with best friend) and got home to an email from the guy saying he thought it'd be best if we only saw each other as usual, ie with everyone else.
i should probably be crushed, and i probably will be when my head is all clear to think, but right now it doesn't feel like the end of the world. honestly, i'll say that, for various reasons that are too long for me to go into right now, i'm surprised, but what the hell. such is life.
so, what are the chances of guy number 2 working out??
