Hallelujah Redux
HE EMAILED.
I want to write that when I checked my email and saw the message from him that the skies opened up and angels sang from the heavens. But then it occurred to me that it was a familiar sentiment. Lo and behold, it appears I have encountered this phenomenon before, and not with very nice results.
On the other hand, this TOTALLY confirms my karma paranoia from last night. I was pathetically overanalyzing the situtation with Ms. ADA before our book club meeting, and concluded that because I hadn't called Mr. Border Collie back (he left two messages in the days after our failed date, which I had not returned), I was being punished by having Mr. Cool blow me off with nary a word.
Imagine my surprise when I checked my phone after book club and discovered that Mr. Border Collie had called AGAIN. Here was my chance to get back on the "right" side of the moral line! I called him back and (blessedly) got his voicemail. I left a brief message and then surrendered to fate. And fate seems to have appreciated the effort.
I think.
To sum up the email, Mr. Cool will not be attending the theatre event with me on Saturday due to other obligations. But there were references to "let me know what you think of XXX" which seems to me to encourage additional conversation. I don't know, we'll see. I've called in the girls for additional analysis.
But I'm definitely calling up every guy I ever blew off, to build up a karma reservoir. Clearly, I'm walking a fine line where it could go either way.

Any progress? I'm dissapointed in him as well. But last time we got the entire e-mail. Do share!
