Rules Work Like a Charm
The Rules are working like a charm! SS called Friday in hopes of meeting up for late night drinks. I had tentative plans with BS but easily could have met SS either instead of or after seeing her. According to The Rules, however, 0ne may not accept a weekend date at the last minute. Thus I called him to decline. Upon reaching his voicemail I would have normally apologized, explained and offered an alternate time. Instead I did it The Rules way. I said I would love to meet for drinks but I already had plans and that perhaps we could do it some other time: no apologizing, no explanation but very nice. Go me.
I did not hear back from him after the vm on Friday, however, the following day, Saturday, he called 3 (yes ,THREE) times! During the final call he asked, again, if we could meet for drinks that evening. I laughed and said I would love to but, unfortunately, I already had plans. This was true as J and co. had planned on taking out J's man for his birthday. SS was crestfallen. He said he felt like a loser, albeit jokingly, because he had now been shot down twice in two days. I told him to not take it personally and that he would just have to call a little sooner. He finished the call by imploring me to call if I changed my mind or if my plans fell through.
Fast-forward to Sunday morning. H and I went rollerblading downtown early with the intent of arriving at mom and dad's late morning to assist in getting ready for my bro/aunt/uncle's birthday bash. I had just stepped out of the shower, of course running horrifically late, when my phone rang. Lo and behold it was SS calling to say "hello" and see how my evening had been. Aww. Then (and here it the proof that The Rules really work ladies!) he asked if I was doing anything Labor Day weekend. HA! A whole week ahead of time! I replied that I didn't think I had anything big going on and he said perhaps we should do something fun and I said that would be nice. So, you see, The Rules really do work! I am making him work to see me and he continues to pursue. Never forget: men like a challenge.
Stay tuned...
