I feel like my dating life runs very hot or very cold. I’m either dating like a maniac, or not dating at all.
I wrote about my date on Saturday. I had another one last night. This one with a 26 year old. And I can honestly say it was one of the best first dates I’ve had. Maybe not quite as great as the one with TNG, but that was mostly because I kept thinking to myself that he’s only 26, and what kind of long-term potential can there be in that?
He’s smart. Fun. Greek (which means he has an accent. Ah, accents). And super nice. He has that European style that I so love. We had a really good time, and are going out again on Wednesday.
In the meantime, I’m waiting for this other guy to call me. We’ve exchanged a few emails. We’re supposed to go out Thursday night. So we’ll see how it goes.
I also am talking to at least 2 other guys that I would potentially go out with. We’ll see if either of them call me. I called both tonight and left them messages – the one guy called me both last night and tonight (which, honestly, is a little annoying).
Finally, this other guy and I have been emailing. I asked for his # this morning, and he gave it to me. He’s a little weird – he’s separated, but basically what happened is that his wife took off and didn’t really tell him. It’s not the first time she’s done this. But when she comes back, he takes her. I asked if he really thought he was ready to be dating – said it sounded like there’s a lot of baggage. Anyway, prior to this is when I’d asked for his #. He emailed me tonight asking for mine, so I told him I had his and would call him. When I did, I got the voice mail to the Inspector General’s office. So I wrote and said “Apparently I have the number for the Inspector General. Nice” He writes back “lmao. Sorry, I got you the wrong one” What?? You don’t know your number? So he writes me again with his phone number and says I should call him later today or tomorrow. I wrote back “don’t count on it. Just confirms for me that you’re not ready for this. Very juvenile” I mean, I think he’s 40 or something and giving out the wrong #? Ridiculous. Don’t waste my time. He wrote back apologizing, but this is the second time he’s had to apologize to me in two days (yesterday he wrote something really dumb about my getting divorced) and I’m sorry, I don’t play by the “3 times and you’re out” rule – especially with someone who I haven’t even met yet.
