Back in July I had a first date one night followed by a second date the next night with a different guy. Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep those details straight? Which one has a dog and which one has a sister. Fortunately neither guy lasted very long or I’d have started messing up those details.
A month later I met someone at a sci-fi convention. We dated for about six weeks and things were going very well until he got a temporary second job and disappeared. It started with the Single in the Shire incident followed by a whole lot of nothing. If he was too busy to call or text, I was too busy to wait around.
I had a first date lined up with a guy I met on-line who grew up in Ireland and moved here. Accents are sexy. Texting a girl you’ve never met good morning every day before your date isn’t. Not two hours after out date he texted me again asking how things looked. Another hour went by before he asked “Not good?” Yeah, definitely not looking good Velcro.
I had one other first date and one other guy ask me out. Both are friends of friends and seem like nice guys but I was just ‘meh’ about the whole thing. What will get you to a second date is if I care if I see you again. They were nice but I could take it or leave it. As for The Vanishing Act, put pennies on its eyes because what we had is stone dead.
It’s a predicament to have but if I’m not that into anybody, aren’t I better off not leading them on? It’s not fair for me to date a guy who seems to like me because I’m bored and could use a free dinner. After such a busy fall, I’m feeling a little burnt out on dating. Since very few relationships start around major holidays, I think I'm safe until January.
