So I'm on my new path to dating. I'm not out "looking" for someone to date. Instead I'm just out doing whatever it is I love to do and theoretically eventually I'll meet someone interesting that loves doing that same thing. I've been testing it out and thus far it's been successful. Sort of. My first venture was at a concert in the park.
This very nice and attractive gentleman came up, introduced himself, asked if we could go to dinner sometime. I gave him my number and explained that I thought we should visit a little bit more on the phone (it was hard to talk much at a concert!) before we go to dinner. When we left we agreed he would call. I was looking forward to it. He never did. His loss I suppose, but why would you act so interested and then blow someone off??? Maybe my website scared him away??? Ha!
My next venture was at a political function. I met a charming fellow. We hit it of very well. We actually spent the rest of the evening tucked away in a cafe sharing wine. We scheduled a date for the next night at a concert in the park (what can I say, I like concerts in the park!). He was so completely different from the first night. It was almost like the wine had him just saying anything and then without the wine he was hardly the same person and suddenly our interests didn't match much. He never called again either.
Is that the norm these days? Do you not call and at least say, thanks but no thanks? I guess it's fine, but it sure seems like a strange way of doing things if you ask me.
