Wait, what?

Over the past few weeks, well since her formal night out, Sports Girl has been quiet on Whatsapp. Quiet with me, specifically. I've tried to initiate chats and she will respond for a short while, then she'll go quiet. I'm becoming less and less inclined to make any effort. Supposed nights in the pub have not materialised (not that I care in this case - I was with KfW2 and FP), but it's starting to become a thing.

However, last night, my phone pinged quite late - after 10PM. It was SG.

I thought, maybe, she was going to reply to an invite I'd sent out a few weeks ago. But no. She was, in fact, making her own plans. Well, not her own plans... but she was arranging a charity night out in aid of one of her sports teams. She wants me to attend. She wants everyone to attend.

I've been vague. Neither her nor her boyfriend have replied to my invitation to a BBQ that's only ten days away. I am a little angry at the continued lack of confirmations from SG and/or GM on nearly any social engagement. NYE was the same. I am being a little passive/aggressive here though. I'm not concerned about bringing it up with them as there are already plenty of people coming along and I don't care too much if one or two people don't come. The lack of a definitive 'yes' or 'no' always causes a little anxiety when I arrange social events.

So, my appearance at SG's fund raising event will probably depend entirely on whether or not they turn up to my BBQ in a few weeks time, or at least whether or not they accept or decline the invitation before then.

Funkadelic.

The funk that I've been experiencing recently (and the subject of my last post) is still lingering and still as a result of multiple issues.

There is an ongoing work thing. Decisions are being made at a higher level than I have access to. When decisions that are made are, in my opinion, illogical then I have a real hard time processing them. That's what happening now. Decisions are being made that are potentially changing our company's entire character and I don't know how that's going to pan out.

The loneliness thing is still ongoing, though there have been some things to lessen it. KfW2 has played her part as always. I was at her house a few weeks ago for a few drinks and it's always great to catch up with her. There was another impromptu night when FP and myself bumped into her and her friend in town. Her company is always welcome.

Sports Girl has bee flaky again, though she did admit to why she was so adamant about my presence at her form event. There was match-making going on. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that the person in question is a good match, but it's nice to know that SG has her heart in the right place. Plus, she knows me well enough not to make a big deal. There was other news about GM and SG. It's not surprising news, but it is big news.

Bit still, despite what has been an active enough few weeks, the funk lingers on. There is other stuff coming up over the next few weeks that could help alleviate the funk, but the singledom thing is still there and is still bothering me a little.
