A good lesson…
Note to self: Do *NOT* get so excited about one guy, no matter how cool he seems to be, to start with. I can’t even tell you how dissapointed I was today, after calling the guy last night (he didn’t call me as he said he was going to, to discuss movie options) and leaving a message to ensure we were still on for tonight, only to have him call me at 6:05pm today, to cancel. As it was my night cell, I didn’t even pick up the message until 7pm. I’d even left him a quick email when I got home on Tuesday night to thank him for a wonderful time, and to give him my daytime phone numbers so that he could catch up with me before today to arrange a time/movie. I don’t get it — He seemed so enthusiastic to see me again on Tuesday night.
Oh well. Just goes to show, I’m obviously supposed to be single right now. There’s no possible way that I can meet so many men, and not have a single one come out right for a second date. Not unless either A) I’m cursed… (Which is quite possible!) or B) My Mr. Wonderful simply isn’t available. Either way, I’m really not interested in subjecting myself to any more of this torture for a while. This is the wrong time of year to be let down. As this is my first Christmas being single since my adulthood, it’s going to be difficult enough to get through this season with a smile on my face without having to deal with the extra pressure of mis-firing on the dating front.
On a more positive note, I’m starting to feel better today. The Mack Truck that apparently hit me a couple of days ago has long since dissapeared, and my head doesn’t feel like it still has tread marks on it. My sexy, dial-a-good-time voice is still dogging me, but I’m sure that will go away just as soon as I stop trying to cough my lungs out.
I’m going to go and catch a program on tv for a change before crawling into bed. If anyone has any insight into my current situation, I’d love to hear about it!?!

to be optimistic (which is so rare for me) maybe there was good reason for him to cancel..? perhaps an emergency?
if he is just a jerk then he doesn’t know what he’s missing because you’re a great catch! and screw all these guys who don’t see that because I sure do!
Colene… You are *so* sweet! Thanks for the endorsement… The same goes right back your way as well!!
Actually, I can’t believe how many people called me after reading this particular entry — I’ve got awesome friends! (How many times have I said that… But it’s true!)
I’m dusting myself off, and moving ahead with a smile on my face. The immediate frustration and dissapointment has washed away, thankfully.
I’ve found over the course of my extraordinarily long life (cough) that making friends first helps. This may be more difficult to manage in the straight dating world, I dunno. Group activities might be one way, if that meshes with your interests.
sorry to hear about the man *smile* your time will come… be patient and happy when you least expect it it will happen ***** d
Thanks guys! I totally agree. It was just the initial dissapointment that had me down, but I’m feeling much better lately, and am embracing my singlehood with a smile now.
Besides, with the amazing friends that I have, it’s almost not even bothersome that I don’t have a cuddle partner right now.
