Woeless rejection.

I went to meet up with a gal for a cup of cocoa and for the first time(perhaps in my entire life?) I was stood up by a date. Well... I am not sure I would call it a date - meeting up for cocoa - but in this day and age, I suppose it probably achieves that level, considering the rarity of actual connection in the first place. No worries about the miss tonight, though... I basically lowered my expectations somewhere below ground-level. Not really a great way to do things as it limits how much energy I expend to actually make it all happen but I'd call it a good experience to learn from anyway. And, strangely, she still might be interested in trying again later, I tend to think. And if I'm wrong, what else is new? Ha.
