Welcome to the New Year...

Happy New Year!

When I last wrote I had my impending date with Fire Engine Red and he was being very nonchalant about it all. He actually asked me to come over to his place and “watch a movie”… right… I’m not even entirely sure if he’s a sociopath or not, so I’m really not going to just go over to his house never to be heard from again (I feel like I may be too suspicious from watching too many crime dramas, but really they’re based on true stories). So instead we set aside an actual day to go on a date and the day of the date finally rolls around and by 6pm I have yet to hear from him. Finally at 9:45 at night he calls me and the phone conversation went a bit like this;

Me: Hello?

Him: Hey… did you forget we were supposed to go out tonight?

Me: No. Did you?

Him: Yes. We’re terrible at following through on plans.

Me: mmhhhmm.

Him: What are you doing? I’m just waiting for some of my friends outside of a bar, you should come down. (yes because I love a date when other people are on it)

Me: I’ll pass.

And then he tried to do damage control for the rest of the conversation while I gave him one word responses to work with. He could obviously tell how unimpressed I was. He was traveling for the holidays and so am I so he said he would call me when he got back and we could reschedule.

The thing is I’m pretty sure he thinks he can get away with acting like this because he is so attractive, and more power to him for taking advantage of his good looks, but I’m not going to be playing his game. He really did pick the wrong girl if he thinks he can put in no effort and I'll stick around. I've been there and done that and am much more wise now. I'd hate to have to teach him a lesson if he keeps playing this game, but it really would make for great blog material and it's been so long since I've toyed with someone.

And then sometimes the universe sends out a sign because as I type this I just got a text message on my phone from Fire Engine Red wishing me a Happy New Year. It’s like his ears were burning.

Either way, this is nothing that I’m stressing about. I’m currently “on vacation” in a very cold place that’s bountiful with shopping and very attractive men. Care to play “Where in Canada is Becca?”

Tonight I’m going to a hockey game and when I think hockey I think hot men in pea coats at intermission in the Club House! Wish me and my flirting abilities luck!

I’ll update very soon! I promise!
