I agree with Dave. True vulnerability is probably the most terrifying and most beautiful thing about being human. A tender heart loves more deeply, but feels pain more intensely as well. It's very worth it, in my opinion, though choosing to move towards what may hurt you instead of running away to safety can be a very difficult habit to break.

Young man drives eight hours to visit family – with the added bonus of seeing a young lady he met a few weeks ago. He met her through a friend, and they went to a show at a local bar; alcohol did what it does and these young people did what young people do, sleeping together after their first date. Good news: sustained text flirting that followed revealed it wasn’t seen by either side as a one-night-stand kinda thing. He arranged to meet her when he drove to see his family.
Immediately following the longest drive ever for a second date, he meets her for dinner at a restaurant neither of them have been to before. Good food, craft beer, flirting and conversation follow. They talk about what they should do with the rest of their evening – she mentions a game of pool or even bowling, thinking he probably won’t want to be sitting at a movie or play after that long drive – and those are both fun, quasi-physical things to do on get-to-know-you dates. As an alternative, she suggests a new one act play that sounds interesting.
He says that she will probably have to drive as the booze is starting to hit him, and recommends that rather than go anywhere else, she should take him back to her place – all while stroking her thigh under the table. She smiles suggestively and regretfully explains that she needs to be up before 6am the next morning with people counting on her – but we have all weekend, she adds.
He does not relent in his verbal and physical persuasions, though he can see it is causing her some discomfort. He finally becomes sulky and petulant, suggesting that the evening end there. She thinks to herself "Most likely, the relationship just ended there".
What an as*hole, right? Girl wants to sleep with him – just not right then.
What if the gender roles were reversed? Because that's what happened to me last weekend.

TL;DR - found a new way to disappoint ladies
I dunno, I can see both sides. Especially after the effort of driving all that way coupled with the building excitement, I can see how it could be taken as being turned down.
Did you let her know in advance you'd have to make an early night of it?
Yes. I'm only an assistant and what sucks is being friends with the fellow cashier, moving up, and having to tell said cashier that they suck. No wonder I got asked to be promoted. He's been there a week longer than me and sounds just like your employee. He's lazy and he has a temper. If he's having a bad day then work will not get done. What sucks is it all comes down on me. I'm the one who's supposed to talk to the cashiers. Like...WTF...there is another assistant here who has been here 7 or so years, talks mad noise about people behind their backs, but does nothing about letting them know when things need to get done.
I had no idea gas station work was so annoying. It has to be a team effort because it's usually one person per shift (except in the mornings), so if one person slacks it just snowballs from there. Whatever. I'm off today. Eff that place in the ear with a llama.
Yeah I'm having the same kinda problem, one of the assistants is pregnant so she gets special treatment and gets babied because of it...the store manager will toss me to the wolves in a heartbeat when the DM comes around, then gets pissed when the DM is happy with me but pissy with her....I'm like OMG this is why I don't like working with a bunch of damn females!
I spend a lot of my day working with and training managers and supervisors on how to create positive and productive relationships with their employees. If you guys ever want to discuss it let me know. It's difficult and takes a lot of patience but you can get it there.
EDIT: Sometimes I fail. LOL. I think one of my employees was mad at me and left without saying anything. I'm the only person in the office now.

We were just meeting for dinner. All I knew (two days in advance) was she was coming up to see her brother's directorial debut in a local play, staying for a few days.
I totally get the let down thing, and not happy my choices hurt someone.
Feelings suck, I hate the feels. So me and this girl were dating for about 5 months, and I broke it off in January. I got scared because it was serious a relationship and I'm afraid of commitment. Lately though, I've really been missing her. I never stopped caring for her, so the feels never left. Up until now I've been able to bury them and not give them much attention. But for some reason I can't get rid of them. It's driving me insane. I'm the one who broke her heart so why am I feeling like I got broken up with. It's too late though, she's moved on and I don't blame her. Its just a big Grrrrr knowing that I'm the one to blame for feeling like this.
Have you thought about doing something crazy like calling her? I know you say she's moved on but do you have any idea how current that is? Sorry for your pain

Well I haven't called her, but I texted her and I got the sense that she was giving me the cold shoulder. I heard through a mutual friend that she is currently talking to other guy and is happy. Like I said, I don't blame her. Ultimately, I do really care about her and if she's happy then thats what matters. Looking back I'm just kicking myself because she was really a great girl, probably the best girl I've ever dated. And I threw it away because I was scared. Tough lesson to learn. It still hurts, but honestly talking about it does help. So thank you
You're just too young to grasp how stylin' I really was. All the boys wanted to do me when I was 5. Actually the girls did too. My haircut was confusing.
Yesterday was beautiful. I ran outside, the kids played outside, I drove with the windows down....and now we're getting over a foot of snow and homebound since schools are closed. Grrr.

Hopefully your weather report is the same as ours. Tonight and tomorrow are going to be the worst, but at least it'll be back in the 40s Friday!
People are freaking out already. "OMG a snow storm in March? What are we ever going to do to survive?" I don't know, maybe behave like you live in NY and not be surprised by a freak snow storm in March?

The Weather Channel is here!
I feel like we always get one really good snow storm a year that dumps a foot or more. No big deal. I don't understand the freak out mentality either. However, staying inside all day with two young boys makes me want to drink myself to sleep.

I'm sending all the positivity I have to you to help you deal with your cooped up boys today.

Aw thanks, that's so sweet! And makes me feel bad for saying that haha. We are watching Ponyo which we always seem to gravitate to when there is a storm. (Interestingly enough, the mom in Ponyo also drinks herself to sleep.)

Don't feel bad! I'm not a parent, but I remember being an annoying kid when I had to be cooped up inside all day because of weather. My mom definitely threw me outside during a snow storm once or twice. Sometimes you just need an hour or so of quiet.
As far as drinking yourself to sleep goes, I see nothing wrong with maybe throwing a little somethin' special in your hot chocolate/coffee.
Pulled a neck muscle last night. Having to turn my entire upper body to look at something instead of just turning my head is getting to be quite annoying.

It depends on the volume. A cute purring snore is ok but if it sounds like a poorly maintained Diesel engine with no muffler then it's a deal breaker for sure.
