The Plot Thickens....

By Rubytuesday
So Went I last left youThe Plumber had texted me on Thursday night saying that he would contact me yesterdayAnd he did He texted last night with a simple 
How are you?
I Immediately went to consult with my sister and MotherAnd after some discussionI texted back 
Hey I'm good, how you?
Exciting stuff so far!
While we waited for his responseI chatted with my Mum and sisterThey think he sounds like he is quite shyAnd my sister urged me to bite the bullet and ask him outThen my phone pinged a message
So do you want to meet up?
You can imagine the sceneMe and my Mum and sisterAll on the couch Squealing as the texts went back and forth We had been watching a filmBut my sister said that this drama was much better So I texted back
Yea sure, what do you suggest?
Then we were all thinking about what would be a good first dateI have to admitI've never been on a date as such Yes, I've gone out with boys But this felt differentLike an actual, proper, grown up date Phone pings again
Maybe cinema or something, what you think?
My Mum didn't think the cinema was a good ideaShe said it was too much of a 'commitment' My sister suggested just going for a coffeeAnd i liked that ideaAs there was no pressureIt could be as long or as short as we wantedSo I texted back
What about going for tea or coffee? Is there anywhere you'd like to go?
I was gently trying steer him away from the whole cinema ideaHe texted backAnd this is where things started to head south
I can't think of anywhere but I can make you a coffee, what you think?
I laughed when I read thisAs I thought he was being smartBut my Mum and sister thought it sounded like he didn't really do coffee I texted back
What about 'local coffee shop' for tea/coffee and see how we go from there?
I waited for a responseAnd waitedBut nothing I haven't heard from him sinceThis is really disappointing I could give him the benefit of the doubtMaybe he ran out of creditMaybe he had to go on an emergency plumbing jobMaybe he lost the power of his hands and couldn't textI live in hope...
 But seriously guys You know that I don't like head gamesWhy would he just not text back?AgainMy Mother and sister pointed out that he seems really shy And maybe couldn't cope with a face to face date So then I was thinking that maybe I should have just agreed to the cinema  in the first placeAnd have I f**ked it all up now?I don't know My head hurts from thinking about it so much Reading over the texts again and againTrying to figure out what I did wrong My sister thinks I should text him againBut all I could think was that it was his turn to textAnd I didn't want to seem too keenYou know?
You my lovely little blogger family have been so spot on with advice about this whole thing So I am throwing the floor open to you
What am I doing wrong?Have I done anything wrong?What should I do now?Should I text him again?Or wait for him to get back to me?I eagerly await your response.....
