Invitation

  He says that I can just come over anytime, so I say okay, well just tell me when it is cool for you. He says whenever, and I say well your the guy with the wacky schedule with the kid and all. He says that anytime would be cool. I say how about Thursday after work? I tell him that I could come around ten o’ clock. He says…oh, the kid will still be asleep at ten. I say well I can come by later if you want. He says well my wife has to work that afternoon, so it probably won’t be good for Thursday. I say it’s cool, how about Friday. He says that Friday he will have to go to the bank first, and then he has to go by his parent’s house to pick up the kid. I say, I see, and suggest that I should stop by early Saturday. He says that Saturday is the only day that he gets to sleep in, so it probably isn’t a good time. I say what about Sunday. He says that he has to go to church with his family that day, then later they will be attending a picnic. I say, okay, it’s cool then I ask about Monday. He says that Monday is the first workday of the week and the business is pretty heavy that day, so he will probably turn in early. I say, this is EXACTLY why I ask you what day would be convenient for you. He says anytime is cool, just come over. I say we tried that and it didn’t work, so it would just be better if he chose the day. He said just come on by, anytime. I say it doesn’t work that way, I have to be invited. He says, nah just come over whenever. I saw that is not going to work for me because it has to be convenient for him and I have to be invited in. He says that I am always welcome. I say it doesn’t work that way, the invite has to be specific. He says that I am way too hung up on formalities. I say that he has to choose the time and place, but that it has to be at night and he has to invite me in. He says, really it’s cool, I don’t know what the big deal is. I say that he can’t just give me an invite to cover anytime or anyplace. He says, well just come by, and if I am not there at the time you can just come in. I tell him that it doesn’t work that way. He says why not? I say that there are rules that have to be followed. He says, what do you mean by that? I say that I can’t just go there and go inside. I tell him that he has to be there to invite me in, personally, before I can enter. He says, you sure have a lot of rules. You should loosen up a bit and maybe you could get more girls. I tell him that I do alright. He says, do you make them follow all those rules. I say that it doesn’t work that way. He says, you know when you start giving the girls a bunch of rules like that it can be a real turn off, and the girls won’t take you seriously. I say, look, man, I do alright. He says, okay…just sayin’. I say, so what day can I come over. He says, anytime. I say, look, it has to be a specific day and a specific time of night and you have to be present to invite me in. He says that he doesn’t understand what all of the confusion is about. I say, I can’t enter until you invite me in. You can’t give me a blanket invite for any day, you have to be present and invite me in or else I cannot enter. He says, that kind of pushy attitude is why I don’t get the girls. I say the girls aren’t a problem. He says that I seem pretty tense for a guy who gets the girls. I say, listen up, you have to be there and invite me in before I can enter, because I’m a effing vampire and we have rules that we have to follow, so do you want to do this thing or what? He says, oh, okay, how about Thursday at ten’ o’ clock?
