Hello again

I've reached out to everyone who would be social now that Christmas is done and dusted for another year: KfW2, The Crowd and Nerdy Girl.

Nerdy Girl has already replied. She couldn't meet this morning (my original suggestion), but we're meeting tomorrow for coffee or breakfast.

I sent a message to KfW2 and she replied almost immediately, suggesting I head to hers this evening. But it wouldn't be just me, her parents are heading down. There are three things in play here. 

Firstly, I had planned to get some house stuff done today - small tasks that have been building up over the past few months, plus some cleaning. I was in the headspace for it and everything, so KfW2's suggestion that I go to her place would have meant that a lot of the tasks wouldn't have been done. Related to this, is my introversion. I need time to get myself into a state of mind where I am open to socialising, and KfW2 simply wasn't giving me that time. However, we have tentatively arranged to meet on Saturday afternoon.

Secondly, it's her parents being there. That's a family thing. I know I'm close with KfW2. I know her parents like me. But it's a family thing, and I'd not feel comfortable, even though I know no one else would have an issue.

And thirdly, getting home might be a struggle. Ordinarily, that's not a problem, but I've already got plans with Nerdy Girl tomorrow (and I had those in place prior to KfW2 getting in touch), and I couldn't guarantee that I'd get home tonight. If that were the case, I'd probably not be back at mine tomorrow until lunchtime.

So, yeah. Let's hope that Saturday works out. If not, it's KfW2's birthday soon, and I'll try and see her then.

Finally, I sent a message to The Crowd's group chat suggesting drinks on Saturday evening. No one's said anything so far, but the suggestion is out there.

And I'm looking forward to seeing everyone if these plans actually come to fruition.

So, as a big-ish coincidence, guess who popped up in my Tinder feed today? No? Well, given recent posts on Tinder non-matches, it was the We...
