So here's an odd thing:
Currently on Day 5 of NC with my ex, though we are both going to a mutual friend's Super Bowl party tomorrow night, which I mentioned in my original thread. My plan is to be friendly and polite, but not engage in conversation.
Anyway, today out of the blue I get a text from her asking me if I'd bring a bottle of a certain rum that she and I both like. Now, the thing is, I think it'd be a good idea for me to bring it because it's great for mixing drinks. But I also don't want to give off the impression that I'm doing her a favor by bringing it, since we're in NC.
So, the way I figure it, I can either bring it and appear as though I'm caving and she still has influence over me, or I can NOT bring it and risk appearing like I'm going out of my way NOT to do her a favor (in addition to depriving myself of the awesomeness of rum!)
I definitely would not go out and buy a bottle for her, obviously. But the thing is I already have two full bottles of it at home and she knows that. I don't get the impression she was asking me to buy anything, she just knew I already had it.
I'm not really sure what I should do. I'm thinking I'll bring it, mainly because I want to have it there, but at the same time I definitely don't want to send the signal that I'm trying to win her favor.
I did not reply to the text message today, and I'm not going to. What do you guys think?
