Follow Up: "The Nerve of Some People"

I tried not to write back - I'm not interested in "med student guy" anymore after he stood me up a couple times and never really gave me any explanations. However, I couldn't resist writing him back to say that there was no reason he should be writing me after standing me up. Especially since I did write him back regarding how he could make it up to me back in February. Essentially, I told him that if he wanted to make it up to me, I would agree to meet one last time. It would have to be somewhere nice and he would have to make reservations. He never responded. Why he waited until now I don't know. And it's not like he's going to give me any answers. After many texts saying that he really did fall asleep and that he's not married and never has been, and asking repeatedly to make it up to me, I finally told him that I would think about it. I figured it was the easiest way to get out of this text conversation since I had plans Saturday evening. "Med student guy" texted me again Sunday afternoon asking again if I would give him another chance to make it up to me.

Now, there are a number of things I can do and I'm trying to figure out which would be the most fun for me:

1. Just say no. Nancy Reagan may have had it right in the 80's. This is the easiest way to go.

2. Say yes, make plans, and then not show it up. Very bitchy, but it would nice knowing (or at least hoping) that he would know what it feels like.

3. Say yes, make plans, show up, and tell him that I'm not interested anymore. This is slightly less bitchy, I think, and I would get to know what he really looks like. Then again, he could totally be lying about who he really is. I dodged a bullet with "Romanian guy" and maybe I should make sure that I don't willing walk in front of a bullet. However, I would know what he looks like for real, and then I would who to stay away from.

It's really a tough call. I'm leaning toward option #1. I'm looking for reader input on this - what would you do in my situation? I am open to other suggestions.

In other news, I'm meeting "teacher guy" on Thursday. Not sure what we're doing yet, but I'll probably recommend drinks. However, I would have gotten out of it if we hadn't been trying to make plans since prior to two weekends ago. It might be a bit wrong of me to meet "teacher guy" but I wasn't sure what to say last night to get out of it since I didn't return his call for hours as I was preoccupied. I'm sure this is considered rather scandalous since I'm meeting someone that I'm not particularly interested in and especially due to the nature of my recent preoccupation...

And that preoccupation is my new offline guy thing. For two weekends, soon to be three since we have plans to hang out this coming weekend, I have been spending time with a guy that I've known for years. I'm trying to insert a clever nickname other than "friend guy" but it's just not working. There's a whole nifty story as to how that started and what's been going on, but I'm not ready to discuss that in this forum just yet. I'm sure there's already enough gossip flying around in my offline group of friends after Saturday night that I don't need to provide any details online. These last couple of weekends have been a wonderful surprise and a wonderful time - I'm just going to go with it for now and see what happens.

Let's just say that I am happy and content right now with how things are going. That sentence is a first for this blog!
