Tant pis

So, B never rang to confirm dinner...(and neither did I). The male ego is a funny thing. It's all very well for him to spend an evening flirting & feeding me cute lines, but when I tell him he has a reputation as a shocking player he drops me like a hot brick. I guess I punctured his bubble...

The question is: should I have played the game too by keeping my mouth shut? By repeating his friend's comments I missed an evening out with an interesting & intelligent man. (And was possibly rude too.)But then, as I never had any intention of being another notch on his bedpost, it was a simple way to discover his intentions.

Of course, my ego is a little bruised too.
