More misadventures

The writer from Enfield waited most of the week to try to connect with me again and again, it was at like 11PM. I'm thinking that if he can't make time for a phone call during the normal hours of the day, how the hell is he going to find time for a relationship? I think that one's dead in the water. He's reminding me of my ex and that is not good.

I have been emailing a couple of older men but don't think either of them are likely prospects. One is a single man who lives about 30 miles north of me. He's got a BS in psychology but couldn't spell his major. That gives me pause as to his mental acquity.

The other is in his mid-50's and seems to be extremely anal. He wanted me to call him so I said ok but then he felt he needed to know exactly when I was going to call so he wanted me to leave him a message while he was at work to tell him when I would call later in the day. I tried and his answering machine was full but I did get to hear his outgoing message. It was either a decade old and his son a toddler at the time or his son behaves younger than his 12 years. It was strange. I haven't called.

A fourth man, a 41 yr old with the hot body, hasn't replied to my last email. DAMN! He's one I would like to meet for coffee.

Finally, I saw the most recent ex this week. He's not such an ex any more and we are probably going out tonight. I'm so confused. I must figure this mess out - after tonight. :-}

Dateless

I was dateless this weekend so I spent some time searching the profiles on match.com. There are some interesting men out there. I sent off some winks and even emailed a couple that had responsed to winks earlier. Only time will tell if any of this pans out.

Searching

So I've been searching on match.com. There are a few men who seem nice, intelligent, humorous, and attractive. It just sucks so bad to be in this position. I'm a good person - why can't I find Mr. Wonderful??

I did connect with a writer from Enfield last night. We are planning to talk by phone this weekend. He doesn't like to write his communications. :-) What's that about? He's a writer. I love email and think it's a great way to talk in the beginning and then later, to connect on a more intimate level. But that's me. I'll play along for now. The only issue I have with him right now is his name; Tim. I hate dating men who's names rhyme with mine. Four years of "Jim and Kim" was enough for me. Plus, everytime I got to type the name "Tim", I inevitably write Time instead. I don't know why. But it's such a small thing. I'm not that picky.

Every time I did a search on match.com last weekend and the beginning of this week, Rick came up as the first match. It was really unnerving but for some reason, I wasn't ready to block him. I have now. I want to move on. I have to. He's not ready for a relationship and even if he was, he's not the man for me, regardless of how nice he is and how incredible a lover he was. I'm sure there are other men who will fit into that category. Well, I pray there is.
