I am setting myself up for disaster and heartbreak

Hey, Otto and {{{{{{{QUASI-HUGGS}}}}}}}}}. Sorry to hear it didn’t work. That’s a pretty shitty thing for him to do, but I agree with Eve. It might have been for the best that it happened now rather than later. Take a breather for a while if it helps.

Q

Eh, I’m not worried about it. I got his email at the same time I was IMing with Jeff, who I’m meeting tonight for a first coffee date. I try to avoid letting the grass grow under my feet if I can help it.

What irks me about it is that he met my cats and they both liked him right away. Usually my cats need to be around someone at least three times before they warm up, but Omar they walked over to and got pets from within a half hour. On the other hand, they still hiss at one of my closest friends. And, come to think of it, they warmed up to my ex pretty quickly too. I used to trust my cats. Now I’m thinking, if the cats like a guy, run the other way!
