A quick word from Mc
I hope Wanderer doesn't mind me execising my contributor rights for this post, but I just got done having a rather lengthy argument and I wanted to express a few points to whatever public I could.
RULES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED BY MC'S (FORMER?) GiRLFRIEND
1. If I tell you I'm too mature to take part in your little "I said, they said" game, then that means shut the fuck up, not try to convince me you're telling the truth and they're lying.
2. You will not, under any circumstances, ever manage to drive a wedge between me and my friends. They mean more to me than you do. Trying to pick a fight between (me and you) and (them) is never going to end well for you because I will side with them ninety-nine times out of one hundred.
3. If I say I don't care, I'm not trying to hurt your feelings. I am expressing my disinterest in forfeiting yet another entire full evening to you and your friends' soap opera lives. I work eleven hour days.; so I only get three or hour hours between work and sleep and would like to enjoy them.
4. Yes, you have a kid. No, I don't like kids. Yes, I've been very honest about this. No, that doesn't mean I need to spend more time with it and get used to the kid.
5. I've known you since December 12th. I've been going out with you since January 7th. That puts you WAY behind in the who-I've-known-longer-than-whom loyalty bracket.
Finally, and most importantly:
6. I date girls because I want to add pleasure and enjoyment to my life. I really like sex and I really enjoy the company and closeness. Therefore relationships are both pleasant and convenient for my ends. When the relationship stops being pleasant or convenient, it is not fulfilling its purpose and will be concluded promptly. I am not going to put effort and pain into maintaining something that is supposed to be a source of pleasure, and I do not feel that I am wrong not to do so.
Therefore, I conclude that I have nothing further to say to this girl. Fuck her. I would love to meet one girl who did not try to come between me and my friends or fabricate meaningless, articifical, needless soap operas to entertain herself, or try to build a romance from a one night stand and a string of dates following it. Enjoy the journey, bitches, don't try to jump to the destination. It may be a layover for you but for other travellers it's the end of the line.
So, in concluson, Wanderer, please call me tomorrow after I get off work (9:00 pm if you count for drive time) because I would like to take someone who means something to me to the casino to play some poker, on me, either Wednesday night or Thursday any time.
CHAMPAGNE FOR MY REAL FRIENDS, AND REAL PAIN FOR MY SHAM FRIENDS.

Sensible list. If she put as much effort into understanding you as she undoubtedly wanted you to put in to her, you probably wouldn't need to tell her any of the above.
I particularly like the ending line of your post. You may have to hold on to that as a tag line.
Next Friday? I presume that you are meaning a week from today, as opposed to today, but I am sure I will be talking to you shortly anyway. I will begin hunting Stefan down for you.
It's just like 5 bucks to play, because the Friday games are total circlejerks that are more like semi-organized socialization than any kind of poker, and either one of us would be happy to stake you, but if you don't want to play I am still very excited to think you will grace us with your presence :)
Well, occasionally the organizers raise the stakes without any advanced warning to the poorer players, but I agree with MC that one or both of us will stake you if you want to play.
