no more card giving.

Post By:Lady A

Lady A,

Hi. Just wanted to email you and thank you for the great time. It was nice emailing you and getting to know you. You seem like a great person, with a great personality, and someone I would have loved to have gotten to know better.

Sadly, I am not so sure you're that interested in me. I understand you're busy and I think its great you're finding work, but I don't even get a text or email anymore. I still have your card on my desk (along with the 10 Lady N gave me) but I probably should take them down. Let me know. If you'd like to try to get to know me, I am still willing. If not, good luck. I'm sure a great girl like yourself can find someone.

Take care

I feel like shite. how does one respond: "hi, i am not that into you, yes the emails were great but i felt no spark, i kept thinking of secret almost the whole time i was with you. your great, but not for me. how on earth did you fall for me so "quickly"? what happened to the other gals you messaged? and big huge turnoff for all this.

i will never do internet dating again. ever.period. .

PastaBoy:

Plans for 12:30.

Location secured.

I arrive at 12:23.

I leave at 1:06.

I sent him a text to say that I have arrived and if i should secure a table.

No reply.

No text/call.

I get a table, thinking he may just be late and what not, no biggie-order a cappachino.

I text the dating-is-stupid support group.

"wait a bit longer he may be in the train" (he works walking distance)

"shit! call him!" (i did-and refused to call more than once)

I pulled out laptop and continued working on some "real" writing. (10 more minutes-tops)

when it reached 1:03pm, I put my things away and got up and walked out.

 

the waiter couldn't even say anything to me, just a small "awww-poor you-smile"

i was not visibly upset.

no, Lady A could NOT lose her temper twice in one week.

Saturday was enough.

I had ordered a coffee which was "on the house"- yay a free coffee. is that the silver lining?

If it had been the secret I would be worried something happened to him. knowing he has a shit phone and knowing that he would have manners.

but this was a first date.

a guy who asked me out. 

i went through the list of things that may have occurred:

a)he got cold feet (hello its just date 1,i just wanted pasta, not to marry you!!)

b)he passed by and realized that he "just is not that into me"

 (again-do you even know how to say my name properly??JUST MET)

c)he was asked to join the Ghost Busters and protect the Island from an invasion of slimy

    ghost!(Sir F can we have a marathon of ghosts??)

d)he was so excited to see me, he fell hit his head and is laying in a coma at some UES hospital

or 

e) he is an asshole

the correct answer is E.

he called me hours later, I was working already: he apologized over and over again. he was held up in a meeting, he didn't have my number on him blah blah blah

I was calm, did not say much.

he asked me out again, "i will come to Astoria-i will make it up to you"

umm hello, NO! 

"I am sorry we weren't able to meet, but i cant see you. the very least you could have excused yourself phoned the restaurant and left me a message. THAT i would have understood."

*click-dial tone.

i don't think i even said goodbye.

actually the conversation was quick and swift and i am still trying to block it out, so the details are fuzzy.

i received a few text and a voicemail i have yet to hear.

i really wish i could say this was the first time i was stood up, but sadly it is not. 

i think that is also why i flipped out so much last sabado. being stood up sucks.

*le sigh.

RIP PastaBoy. i wish you had joined GhostBusters instead, :(

No Deal

I kinda went on an impromptu random date tonight. It was with this guy that I had met almost a month ago but just have been too busy to meet up with. I should add that from past experience, when I've been "too busy", it usually translates to if I liked you enough I'd have time, but with the only free time I have, I prefer to see my girlfriends. I was hammered when I met him, which should be another red flag, I didn't really remember what he looked like or what we even talked about at the bar.

So tonight he sent me a text saying we should grab a drink. Again, I said I was busy packing since I'm moving on Saturday. He said oh come on... And so I felt bad, having blown him off for a while, so I said I was planning on grabbing a quick dinner if he wanted to join me. He met me on the corner of the restaurant and at the very least he did look better than I had remembered. But I had remembered him to be not attractive at all.

We had a quick dinner, and I would say it was pleasant, but I should have gone with my initial gut instinct which was if I had put off seeing him for this long that I wasn't all that into him. To sum it up, he was really sweet. But he blew his nose at the dinner table. That's a deal breaker for me.
