To Game or not To Game...

So I have a "date" with the guy tomorrow. Just so happened that I have tix to the Corpse Bride preview.
Went over to Colleen's last night to borrow a shirt...cleavagey! (is that a word?)
Apparently, I have no "Game". I was talking with Colleen, as she's way more experienced in the dating game than I am. One of the things she told me was to "play it very cool and ambivilent" tomorrow night. Meaning, tell him how happy I am that they are together, and that I hope they are happy. That way, she said, it will confuse him, and have him think about me more.

Huh?

I think that will put me smack back in the 'friend zone', with no hope of returning.

This is what i think, after putting some serious concideration into this. After all, this will most likely be the last time I get to see him in two years.
I figure that since I got myself into this whole thing by being quiet in the first place. If I had just opened my big mouth earlier, I wouldnt be having these terrible stomach aches. (that's where I carry my stress...in my stomach)
I think that I should tell him that I really do like him, apologize for being a big fucking chicken and not saying anything earlier. Just to be honest and forthwright.


Shit.

So, I just got a call from him, and he can't make it tomorrow night for the movie after all.

*sigh*

this sucks

well i asked him to call me when he gets off work to day.
Basically the ball is in his court, and now that he knows that I like him, it's his decision. I just wonder *how much* he likes the other girl.
However, he'll be gone in a few weeks, and he'll have PLENTY of time to think about it then.


I suppose everything happens for a reason. At least I got to break out of my shell.
