Cancelling two hours late
It's morning and I'm drinking my coffee while checking messages online. Seconds after logging on, I get one of those 'hey whatchu doing' kind of notes from L. I say I'm having breakfast and will be going to work in a little bit. From there, L starts to berate me for "putting unimportant things ahead of living life" kind of rants. In short, L was horny. I was irritated.
After a series of back-and-forths, we decide to meet on Sunday afternoon at 2 pm. It wasn't easy, but I thought, I might as well see if going out with L is worth all of this head scratching.
Sunday afternoon comes around and I send L a text at 1 pm. "Hey. I'm going to pick up my coffee in the St. Lawrence Mkt area so let me know when you're around." This would give L plenty of time to come down via subway (it would take about 10 minutes).
Times passes. I know L flaked out. No surprise since L's mental instability can seep through Skype with a few keystrokes. It's more than two hours later and I get a text from L.
"LOL... Is that how you confirm a coffee date? No thanks"
I could reply, but don't. It's not worth my time. L is insane and is already forgotten. I send a text to a friend about what happened.
"You need to find a new outlet to meet [people]."
"Church? There's lots of normals there."
"Perfect! The Catholic Church is full of repressed perverts!"
"Too bad I can't meet them via work. My industry is full of people I don't like or are so not my type."
"You and me both."
For some reason, I have a feeling that I'll be getting another Skype message from L asking what I'm doing (in the morning while I'm at work) asking if I want to hang out. Only I won't bother to respond.
