I Am Afraid of Being Single Forever
Being single is not always bad but hey, I defnitely don't want to be single forever. I always get asked out on dates and have these interested guys who are quite interesting as well. I always think to myself, "How do I bring the status topic in before things go too far?"
Then I just duck and dive and let things end because of my fear of being rejected and also the fact that I do not want to mislead anyone and not tell them I am positive before things progress past the dinner dates.
Well recently I had to come clean. After dating this guys for 3 months with nothing past hand holding and baby kisses. He decided we should take things a step further, I panicked and almost choked on my salad when he brought the subject of a weekend away! I thoughtto myself, we are in a restaurant full of people, surely he can't do anything to me if I come right out and tell him my status. I nicely laid it out right there and oh my, was I wrong!
He completely lost it! I have never seen anyone so angry in my life. A usually calm gentleman completely lost his cool right there and there and started shouting like a raving maniac! I understand being mad but that, was just way beyond comprehension for me. Well, I expected that he would be angry but that was just beyond my expectations. I picked my bag up, walked to the door and waited patiently for him hoping he will calm down, settle the bill and come and join me and hopefully still drop me off at my place. All I can say is that next time I decide to let someone know I am positive, I would make sure that I drove myself to the spot! A cab from the South to the North after you have been left standing at the door doesn't come that cheap!
The question is "When exactly should one let the cat out of the bag?"
