Good girl Gwen! Yay!

Very good point Honey!

Yep, triplemuse, me either. It’s just not something I’d do to a friend. When I talked to G again afterward, she said her guy friends had been talking a lot about women breaking dates and taking advantage and she didn’t want to do that. I reminded her you don’t want to do that to your friends either…

I wholeheartedly agree with you on the ditching your friends for a guy part. A lot of times, my friends have ditched me for a guy, but I don’t usually say much more than a few choice sentences about how she broke our plans for him. I don’t like confrontation much, so I don’t usually say anything about it, but I keep thinking that I should. Maybe next time, I’ll lay out the bullshit card.

Once, a friend said, “You know, TM, if you were in her situation, you’d do the same damn thing.” I vehemently argued that I would not, EVER, and have never done so. My own family has witnessed me turn down dates and other invitations due to a prior engagement… I was taught that it’s common courtesy not to break an appointment unless an emergency comes up.

This is even good advice if you’re not dating a Mr. Unavailable. If you’re dating a quality guy, one of the reasons he was probably attracted to you in the first place was that you were a confident woman with a full and complete life…if you try to make him the center, you’re losing one of the biggest things that attracted him to you in the first place!

You will be so proud of me. Never ever have I ditched a girlfriend to go see a man. I would much rather have a regular Saturday night with a friend than a date any time, no contest.
