*ring....ring...*
Him: Hello?
Me: Hi! Are you having a good day off?
Him: No..my allergies are acting up and I have a terrible headache.
Me: ....Oh....(thinking: merde...)
Him: Are we still on for tonight?
Me: Uhhh...huh?
Him: Dinner? With Beth?
Me: Oh...sure! (thinking...Beth the eternally hot should put him a good mood..)
I ran late getting to work, though...so I'll be there as fast as I can, but I might be
past 6:15...I'll try. I'm getting a ride halfway there.
Him: Ok...do your best...see you later! Love you.
Me: Love you too!

I may chicken out and not bring up Transworld tonight. Not sure yet.

Talked to our ex-housemate for any ideas, thinking that the Id might have some male insights.
the Id: "Nope. I can't think of a single way to approach this where you won't have to deal with his jealousy."

Sigh.

So is the lesson to be learned to NOT tell your beloved when/if someone hits on you?
That seems pretty crappy. :/
