  • It could be. Or it could be he has to cancel his other plans. Many possibilities. Try not to speculate. Did he say when he will get back to you?
  • mmmm i dont know. It could go either way. He might be trying to be nice but he may really may need to get back to you. Let me know what happens, I'm curious
  • It sounds like it. Or he might be trying to cancel his plans that evening to go out with you that night.
  • Hmmm. It all depends on how you asked him. I thought about it and I would have said something like: "I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, but I want to ask you to a dinner party with me. I know we haven't talked in a while but I would like you to go with me because <state reason>" That way if he DOES feel uncomfortable about it, you have already given him an 'out' if he feels like he needs one.

  • I think it could go either way. It depends upon how close you were originally... What his life is like now...girlfriend? How you ended your prior association...goodwill, relaxed or bitter and pissed off...lol (probably not that, eh?) Did you bother to say..."hey, I missed you, it's been too long...I wondered if you'd like to get together this week... I have a party I'm going to on Friday, would you like to come along? Or is there another day you might be free?" (friendly, caring) or How ya been?...I have this dinner party I'm going to on Friday and I need a date or I'll feel odd and out of place...would you like to take me? (a bit on the mercenary side I'd say)
  • I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but yeah, probably.
  • Depends. If he gave you details. i.e. "I may need to pick up my friend, who's having an operation that day and I don't know exactly when or what time....let me get back to you" then he meant it. Otherwise, he meant, hell no.
  • To be honest, if a woman from my past called me after a year asking if I'd go with her to a dinner party I wouldn't feel hugely comfortable with doing so as it would seem that the only reason I got the call would be because she was searching so deperately for a date that she called someone she hasn't talked to in a year. I would doubt she'd have called me otherwise. Like everyone else is saying, it could go either way but look at it from his perspective. He'll go with you and you'll go back to not speaking to him again.
  • He probably thought you were a complete fruitcake and ran as fast as he could to get away from you. Lol. Please tell me you didn't actually do this? :)
  • because he's dumb and i kno he is lol i wouldnt wait for a call from him just because he's him and we all remember when he used to be a "player" plus i did this for prom. like exactly the same thing except the guy i asked had the decency to say no with a good enough reason. its not worth it. believe me i've thought about it and the incorruptible answer is no, move on you dont really need a date you'll have wayy more fun with your homies there ps: i'd come if i wasnt going to Halifax :(
  • I think so
  • Maybe you just caught him off gaurd...anyways you were brave enough to try so good for you!
  • He meant "no", but he didn't handle it very well. Since you were obviously calling out of desperation (or so it would seem), he should have asked if he could get some oral sex out of the deal. That's what I always do in these situations. That's the only way you can gauge the degree of commitment (or desperation, as the case may be). So, what's the big deal? Either I get a free meal and a blow-job or she just hangs up on me and never calls again. It's a win-win situation!
