Texting out.

I just 'texted out.' I feel guilty now.

A guy who is courting me called on Wednesday and I have been struggling with the idea of returning his call. He texted me last Friday to ask if I would be interested in attending "the symphony" with him and I asked "when?" He then asked "if that was a tentative yes?" I said yes.

Then I saw he called and I can read most of the voice message as a text so I knew he was calling regarding that plan.  He also said "He just wanted to talk to me in general."

I am really struggling with how much his behavior irritates me.  Why?  I think it's because I feel sense of obligation whenever I interact with him.

So. . . out of guilt. . I finally responded to his voicemail with a text to let him know I have no time for a concert before I leave for France.  I was trying to be considerate, but now I feel I should have just not responded.
