He's Just Not That Into You

And thank goodness, cuz I definitely wasn't into him!  A week and a half ago, I went on my final date with the Alaska guy.  We went to dinner (which was good) and then to a movie.  We went to see Due Date.  It reminded me of the time in college when I went on a first date with a guy I barely knew to the movie American Pie.  Awkward!!!!  There were a couple of scenes in this movie that really made me feel uncomfortable with my date.  And since that was the 6th, yes 6th, time I'd been out with him, I could tell things weren't getting any easier.  I thought I would let him pick me up, giving him the chance to walk me to my door at the end of the evening and give me a real kiss, rather than the chaste one I got the last time.  Needless to say, that didn't happen.  I believe I may have leaned over in the car for a short kiss.  Blah.  I realized that after 6 times of seeing each other, if things weren't getting any easier, they never would.  There just wasn't any chemistry.  So I dreaded the following Monday.  Usually he calls me on Mondays.  How on Earth was I supposed to tell him I just wasn't feeling it?  Alas, the feeling must be mutual, because not only did I not hear from him that Monday, I haven't heard from him in a week and a half.  Easy come, easy go.  (And at least I got out of delivering the final blow;)

So what am I doing now?  I'm done with Match.  Actually, I'm done with online dating.  At least for the rest of the year.  I was supposed to go on a date last night, but something came up with his child, so he had to cancel.  He previously didn't have a name, since he was a friend of a friend of a friend.  But, unwisely, he forwarded me a poop joke on my phone (if only he knew my aversion to all conversations regarding that topic) so now, he is the Poop Joke guy.  Not very flattering, I know. 

Also, I facebook stalked my cousin's boyfriend's cousin.  They were telling me that he is single, so I scoped him out.  Not bad.  Don't know if anything will develop there, but who knows. 

All I know is that being single is much easier.  Has dating always been this hard?

Yes, that is actually someone's screen name on match.  Really??!!  What are people thinking.  He did not have a picture.  I wonder why:)

I was originally going to name this post something different, related to an email I got from someone yesterday.  Allow me to just cut and paste instead.....

Hey there gorgeous......I am going to be in Des Moines
on Wednesday November 3 on business and would love to
hang out. I know its kind of random but it can get
lonely when your on the road by yourself. I think we
would have a great time together. Please text me asap
at 555-555-5555.

Fyi I am at the candlewood suites in west des moines....

Note: I changed the phone number and name to protect the innocent.....hahahahahahahaha.  Yeah, right?  What is up with this guy?  Who sends emails like this?  Do you suppose he just emailed a bunch of chicks in this area to see if he could get a response for a hook-up?  I thought that the one guy who sent me a message about a trail of rose petals to a bubble bath was weird, but this one might take the cake.  And dude, thanks for letting me know where your hotel is.  Freak!

Then there is this one guy who has left me alone for awhile, but I noticed that he recently viewed my profile.  His picture is staring right at the camera, so I kind of feel like he as looking at me through my computer.  It gives me the chills (in a very bad way) when I see him staring at me!

My subscription is up in a week, officially.  If I ever try this again, I am trying a new site.  I need fresh blood.

On a side note, I have a date with the Alaska guy again tomorrow.  Dinner, and maybe a movie after (watch out!)  A guy from work sort of asked me to the Harry Potter movie, but I am thinking it would be too weird, and I finally am meeting the friend of a friend of a friend on the 15th for dinner.  I'd say I'm busy enough!
