Dilemma + Slightly Sad

Sad: They've been splitting, so I had to cut my nice rounded nails down.

Dilemma: I've been chatting with P via e-mail today. I'm jumping ahead in the Rally Report, but one of the things he said to me as we were coming home was "we should go out to some bars. You can be my wingwoman."

I didn't know what to say to that ~ it was totally unexpected. And I hadn't heard of the concept of "wingwoman" before. I didn't get a chance to answer ~ he turned to the other women and repeated it while I was left to ponder.

Today, I found this link. I sent it to P in an e-mail under the subject Maybe You Had the Right Idea. I wrote "There's money to be made!"

We had a little back-and-forth on this, mostly about his experience with being at concerts/bars/etc with another woman and women seeming to be more interested when he had someone else's attention.

I've been trying to figure out what I should do with this. I see this as an opportunity. I'm not sure if it's an opportunity to have some fun or come out to an old friend. I'm not sure how it'll be taken, considering how he behaved that day.

I sent out a short message last night:

I'd never heard of a "wingwoman" before. I guess that happens when you're out of the pickup loop as long as me. I'm sure I could've found something more appropriate to wear and done wingwoman duty for the night.

Let's see what he says to that.

I was thinking of sending a picture of me in more of a going-out dress, but I decided against that for the obvious reason, plus I don't have time to hunt for a picture tonight.

Early morning update: P wrote on another topic, ignoring this one. I'm still wondering what to do next. I think I'll have to just drop it. I think he wants to remain in denial and probably regrets the statement.
