Ups and Downs - Your comments please
Met a man. He was pre-screened by a close friend. He seemed interesting and we hit it off on several levels. It felt really good to have someone be attentive to me. He called a lot, flirted, was a pretty good kisser, and was good with his hands (at least as much as I would let him use them). His son was visiting from California. Father and son were planning a drive to Austin to check out UT. Son will start his senior year of high school this year. They convinced me to go along. After checking out the university, we were to stay overnight. I was to have my own room. It was very hot and humid, but I made it through wandering around campus. We even got to meet a couple of professors that gave up quite a bit of their time to talk to father and son.
Going back to the car, father was upset with son over an attitude issue. I didn't really understand. We were all hot and tired. The kid was walking ahead of us towards the car. Father asked me to wait while he had a moment with son. All I overheard was that this trip was for you (the son). I stepped in a store. Father comes for me and says that we are going to the Riverwalk in San Antonio and then going home that night. This trip was for the son so I just went along with it. We stopped at a tacky Ryan's on the way to S.A. Got to S.A. and found our way to the Riverwalk. Wandered along for a long time. When they were done, instead of turning around and going back the way we came, they went up to the street. They did not know where they were. We kept wandering and asking for directions back to where we started. People were directing us in circles. Finally found the Mall and made it back to the car.
Started for home at midnight. Son finally fell asleep. We got a tiny bit friendly until we got off the freeway near home. Son goes inside and leaves us in the car. We kiss a bit but the console is in the way. He wants to change cars and spend more time making out. It is 2:45 in the morning. I am sweaty and tired. I said as much and that I needed to go home. We had walked for hours in 100+ in Austin and then for nearly 3 hours in San Antonio. I was exhausted. He was disappointed. I have not heard from him. He really owes me a call to say something like "I'm sorry that things fell apart Saturday evening. Let me make it up to you."
I tried to be a good sport. I never complained about my feet or that I could not make it another step in the heat. When plans changed I kept my mouth shut. I kept reminding myself that this trip was for the son. But even if it was for the son, shouldn't he have wanted to impress me a bit? Maybe park close, find a decent restaurant, or sit down at a cafe on the river and listen to music for 15 minutes. None of this was done.
On Sunday after sleeping for a long time, I was ready to give him the benifit of the doubt and an second chance. It is Monday and he has not called or e-mailed me. If he waits much longer he will have lost his chance. I am thinking of mailing a note to the son wishing him good luck with his college admissions.
Well that is all for now.
