Trick question.
However, if ever this does happen (and it's BOUND to), the second best thing is when he makes up for it. And boy, DID HE! I didn't want anything extravagant, expensive or fancy...I just wanted to spend quality time together. He definitely delivered.
Terrific Lady Weekend started off relatively simple. I was already on my way to meet up with him when I get a phone call from my dad asking me to do him a solid and pick up the license plates and registration for the new car. NBD...except that I was almost at John's and the dealership was about 45 minutes in the other direction.
TLWT #1: John offers to go with me to pick up said plates without fussing. (BTW, TLWT = Terrific Lady Weekend Treat)
So we head on over and get'er done. Next stop was the movies on Route 1 since it was only about 20 minutes away from the dealership. At first, we were going to see The Social Network but right after buying tickets I saw a bucket of 3D glasses and instantly wanted to watch whatever movie required those. It turned out to be Jackass 3D. I didn't care; I wanted those glasses.
TLWT #2: John offers to buy me popcorn and WHATEVER treat I want from the concession stand. It's an unspoken rule between us to never get anything from that dastardly place because of its ridiculous prices but what the hey.
The movie was so-so. I'm not a fan of Jackass but the 3D made up for it. Yeah, I'm a sucker for gimmicks. Anyway, we went out for dinner afterwards, a practice I much prefer over dinner THEN a movie. If you see a movie first, you'll have something to talk about at dinner afterwards. At first we were going to try Pollo Tropical on Route 18. The line to eat there was RIDICULOUS, especially since I've indulged at the one on Route 1. We decided to skip it and head over to Ruby Tuesday's at East Brunswick Mall, which worked out perfectly since I was craving their salad bar.
TLWT #3: After dinner, he. Went. Shopping. With. Me. FOR ME.
This is a big deal because our relationship almost ended after our very first shopping trip together. Like most boys, he has an aversion to shopping. However, he was such an a**hole the first time we went, which set off my inner b*tch, which ended with us fuming all the way home. Since then, we've kept our shopping trips to a minimum, going together only out of dire necessity and with a strict guideline of what we need. This time around, we went into Forever 21 with me because I wanted to pick out a few casual sweaters for the increasingly colder weather. He did so without any complaints or hints to hurry up, and he helped pick out some items. UN-begrudgingly. It was amazing.
