it's not all about me

Things with TheBoy have felt strange this week & I was convinced he didn't like me as much as he used to lo these many (6) weeks ago. This despite the fact that every time he rescheduled a date it was because work kept him late or something similar. And he flat-out told me he wasn't blowing me off. I am just feeling insecure.

But tonight on the phone (rather than our date, rescheduled for tomorrow) he told me that he's just been having a terrible week, worrying about work & what he should do with his life. Sounds like he's just needed a lot of time to think & has been afraid that he'd be bad company.

Whew. Nothing like reassurance that things aren't all my fault.

Our evening's conversation was lovely and fun and delightful. And we're going out tomorrow and possibly Saturday.

Reassurance is good. It's important for me to be reminded that not everything revolves around me. It's a little frustrating, though, as I've spent the day running possible "so, I really like you" conversations through my mind, but just as I got my nerve up our date was postponed again. So now tomorrow I will once again be all distracted as I wonder what I'll actually have the guts to say or do.
