I knew I was going to tell him that I wasn’t interested in seeing him anymore; however, I was going to wait until I saw him again as I think people deserve that type of thing face-to-face, not via text.
What sparked that? We made plans to meet at Disneyland, I told him that he didn’t have to worry about paying for me and that I’d be driving myself as I was already going to be in the area. The day before our scheduled meeting he found out the cost of the tickets and parking and backed out.
Now, I can understand that it’s an expensive day out and that sometimes people just can’t afford that type of thing. What bothered me is that he’s lived here since the 80’s, so he’s got to know that Disneyland is pretty pricy. Secondly he’s got internet access, but asked me to look that information up for him. And the topper, making a date and then breaking it due to cost.
Had he said “no” right away or “Let me check my calendar and see if I can” and by calendar I mean wallet, that would’ve been a different story.
Anyway, he was texting late in the evening, while I was driving out to Faire. I was short, mostly because…you know…driving. And he gave himself the brush-off via text. “Let me make this easy…would you like me to stop texting you?”
Wow, I mean, I know I’m pretty blunt – but East Coast people, you have me beat.
