Obviously, I didn't say the right thing on the phone to HB9 (dude the unspoken sexual tension on the phone between us was so high), and she either chickened out or talked to my ex-MLTR. I still need to know: What SHOULD I have said.
Man, no matter how good you get at this stuff, there's always so much more to learn...
Specialist: Don't call her back. Make other plans for New Years Eve. If she calls you back, trying to make amends, you have other plans and she gets the lesson about what happens when she flakes. (Also, if she calls back, you make plans for AFTER New Years, and she flakes again, that is the end. Next.) If she doesn't call back, you've already moved on anyway, so no loss.
