I will forever be grateful for the woman who runs our Women’s Discussion Group. I know that she pushed my girlfriend to text me back in August of last year. I don’t think that I ever would’ve lingered and talked to her because 1) I thought that she was straight, and 2) I don’t often approach women.
I’m not sure if I trust my instincts with women who I’m drawn to. I have been with avoidant folks.
I went to the Women’s Discussion Group Leader’s birthday party on Wednesday at hibachi.
Then I got bored.
Next, I got mad.
Her girlfriend was 45-minutes late, held up dinner for 14 people, and the pacing for food got strange.
I just wanted to leave.
It meant that afterward, I could only connect with my girlfriend in her bed for just under half an hour. She has a gazillion things that she has to do before she starts her parenting and workday the next day.
I get really irritated with folks who are inconsiderate.
What are your hot buttons with respect to people?

Lateness without calling or texting. When they have fifteen things to tell staff when at a restaurant
Hahaha. I guess that her gf knew that she was going to be late. Us plebians just had to stand around for half an hour and then wait for another 15-minutes until she ingratiated us with her presence.
I chat with my server… Not 15 exchanges, but I do chat. I like rapport. I think that it’s an occupational hazard 😉
Both my BFF and I have the attitude that “if you’re not a little early, you’re late.” When we meet for lunch, I show up 5-10 minutes early, but half the time she’s there first. We both agree with the sentiment that habitual lateness is a form of arrogance. It dismisses the time of others.
My friend’s GF was 45-minutes late and it made the pacing of her bday dinner strange and the night wound up being 2.5-hrs for a dinner
Nothing wrong with a long dinner. If it was a one-off thing, well, shit happens sometimes, but if she has a regular habit of being late, that’s just selfish.
I don’t like her. She’s competitive and requires people to regurgitate book reports. Luckily, I can avoid her
