To think he's going on a date?

I've been on a date with someone from work, but he's gone a bit funny and I haven't bothered asking for another one, if he wants to he will.

He's someone who doesn't like people talking during films (which is understandable) so usually goes alone.

I invited him to my belated birthday party tomorrow, admittedly I invited him with late notice but he's said he's 'catching up with a friend from an old job.'

I casually asked where they were going and he said 'the cinema'.

Do men go to the cinema in pairs?
I just have this feeling he's trying to date this 'friend'. It could well be innocent or a male but I'm not convinced.

Anyway I'm better just binning him off. I know he's entitled to do what he pleases, it just hurts a bit.

What!? Of course men go to the cinema in pairs. Perhaps his friend asked him and he simply agreed. You are majorly overreacting to be hurt by this.

Him wanting or not wanting to date you further is a completely separate issue.

I shouldn't care but it's really hurting me.
