So, OLB messaged me. “Are you going to the gathering on the 29th? I figured you had other plans, since I hadn’t seen a response from you, but I wanted to check”
WTF???
Of course, I immediately told David, who told me that OLB should be pushed in front of a train. “What bearing does it have on him? Why does he want to know this???” David wondered.
“So what do I say?” I asked. Because to me, to blatantly NOT reply, when he can see that I’m on The-Message-Board-of-Note, is more “obvious” than a short and civil reply.
“Tell him ‘I’m not sure yet, but probably’” David said.
So that’s what I went with.
But still; WHY was he asking me if I was going to be there? Does he knew to prepare himself if I’m going to be there? Does he plan on having something ‘suddenly come up’ at the last minute if I’m going to be there, so he can avoid me? Is he just screwing with my head?
If anyone has answers to these questions, I want to hear them.
Says:
He might be pushing your buttons (though that requires him to know that he has this power; do you think he knows it?).
He might be wanting to know whether to expect fireworks.
He might be, in some feeble way, attempting to re-establish communications on the “friend/chatty” level.
(Sorry, can’t give a better read at this remove.)

As my therapist would tell me. We can’t possibly know what is going through his mind nor can we uncover his motivations.
But personally and unfortunately, I think he is just fucking with your head.
I guess we’ll have a clearer understanding on Saturday.
Good luck!
