John, sounds like you got set up. Women will do that, they enjoy the power a predictable pattern..
I had a fling with a girl , we were on and off several times, at least four maybe five different times we started up again. Well, we ran into each other again this time maybe two years had passed, Imediately im thinking were gonna hook up again. So she says "Sooo, are you seeing anybody now?" I think , ok, were probably having dinner this weekend, I say enthusiastically "no". She says really? "i am"

Im look dohhh, she got me. Coulda been totally innocent on her part, but the cynical side of me said oh man she was waiting for this! there was no taking it back either, the cat was outta the bag. Only consolation was maybe she thought I was bsing about not seeing anyone,,,thats what I went with.

Well rejection is a part of life, nobody likes it, some never recover from it
