Superman update:
Texted yesterday asking to meet up for a drink - asked for tonight. Said I wanted to run something by him. He asks what. I said it's too much for text, its easier to talk over drinks. He said "understood." and nothing else..?

Then today he texts "this had me curious - everything ok?" but no confirmation on drinks or anything.

Feels like I'm pulling teeth just to meet up. Maybe a sign? 

when was the last time you hooked up? He could be worried about the whole prego thing. Thats what I would think

or that she's met someone else and wants to be exclusive with that someone else.

IMO, when he asked for drinks it would have been best to just accept. No need to tee up that you have something to talk about. Just talk about it when you meet for drinks. Done deal now though. Could be any one of a million things running through his mind that you want to talk about.

Agreed, you put him on defensive mode for something bad by being vague that you want to talk to him.

Sigh. Can't win.

See, if I were to get a text that said "let's meet for drinks! Got something I wanna run by you" I would not in any way get defensive and think negative. I'd be all "cool - can't wait!"

Men vs. wimminz I guess.

Shoulda said "Drinks? Don't worry I'm not preggo and you don't need to be tested for anything. We cool?"

Yup. You tell us you want to "run something by us" and we automatically think we won't like it. Generally speaking.

Me too!  Let's do it!

Cue the ZZ Top! "She's got leeeegggs!"

That pics has been in my BT album for months.  I felt so ... not part of the group .. without an avatar.

Plus I asked Cord to pic one out of the thousands I've sent him but he didn't reply.  This confirms that he has my pics, emails and texts on auto delete.  Bastard.

Untrue I told you which one to use but it would break the BT rules of conduct.

All the past history of women saying that and it was bad.

There was really no need to say anything about it at that time over text. Now all he knows is there something you want to talk about in person but not over texts. Did you say something about how you can’t wait to see him or made it flirty?

So, that just my POV.
