Ask first, perhaps?

The other night, a group of friends went out to dinner. One was a guy I've gone out with a few times over the last year. We're friends and fool around on occasion, but he did something really strange that night. I have a strong hunch he thought he was staying at my place that night. But he forgot one important detail - asking me.

Over the weekend, he moved house from five minutes away to about twenty minutes away. He had to be at his old place that's now empty to let the cleaning service in the next morning.

I overheard a conversation he had before dinner when he said, "...if I go home tonight..." 

Then later that evening, I told the group I was headed home. He seemed shocked. "You're leaving? Now?" 

"Yes," I answered.

"Oh." He looked like I had just ruined his plans. But they were his plans and not mine.

I hugged him and my other friends and went home. The next day he called me to meet for lunch. I had just made a salad at home and was about to head to the airport so I couldn't join him.

Three days have gone by and it's still bugging me. Why did he assume he would crash at my place? Why didn't be ask me? Why didn't he buy my dinner or at least a drink? This single girl's wising up. 

Love to the single girls,

Addison
