Life: To Invite or Not Invite... That was the Question

My birthday is coming up, Wednesday in fact - it's by no means a monumental celebration, 31, I feel nonchalance about the event. But this is Me, there's always an excuse to celebrate.

Initially my invitation was sent out via crackbook only and this was when I was feeling rather down and out and thought organising an event where I was he centre of attention would fill a void, how temporary that maybe. The impeding week saw an uncomfortable email from the man I was seeing ending whatever relationship one could describe the brief liaison and well he was on my recipient list - after weeks he still hasn't responded. Say 'maybe' at least - don't ignore it.

Last week I decided to finally get around to emailing my invitation to those wonderful friends of mine that don't use facebook at all or don't access religiously, I sat at my computer at work starring at the half dozen or so emails from RR and pondered sending him an invite, we are after all 'friends'. I had to get a second opinion... So grateful I did, here are the scenarios I would need to prepare for:

(a) him arriving with another woman,
(b) him agreeing to come and not turning up,
(c) him turning up and going home with someone else,
(d) him turning up and not going home with anyone – including you… or even
(e) him turning up, bringing you a gift, going home with you, and then breaking your heart yet again…

No invitation sent.
