After an unsuccessful meeting. What do we do? Try again. So I weed through the 25 guys who have contacted me. From "hey" to "nice photos" to "how's your day going?" How can we believe they're all single? So one was somewhat interesting. I receive an email about 3 pages long. Someone who actually read my profile and what the heck...is trying to impress me?!!! Okay let's go with this!!!
So he says let's meet. Anytime but Saturday. My reply "well how about Friday?" The emails get shorter and shorter and suddenly. Friday dinner becomes late night drinks. But really bud? I think that after a long week, I'll have had a glass or two of wine by late Friday night. He says let's talk on the phone and work something out. I say sure, here's my number, I'll be home after 6:00. No call. What do these guys really want? Do they want to find someone or not? What ever happened to the guy taking the lead. Are they all this broken? Why would I really want someone like that? So....another weekend alone...better off, yes, but who's going to go on that southern vacation with me. So I'll get over this and try again. So will you :)

Internet dating
So here I am about 6 years after my first time signing up for internet dating. I have so many stories. None successful! Number one...I call men on the internet "broken people". I never imagined that there could be sooooooo many diverse horror stories. I wish I could hear about your too!
The worst...the guy who pretended to commit suicide to get my attention. Can you imagine. Someone you barely know. He wrote me long flowery emails in French, right from the beginning. Emails that make your insides heat up, but seriously I know better, I've never met this guy, so I'm not going there...until I receive an email from his friend who said that after he threw his mother's ashes off a cliff in the Meditteranean he jumped in afterwards, killing himself. Did I want to send a message to add to the capsule going out in his honour.
My first reaction...why are you involving someone who has nothing to do with him? I don't even know this person...leave me alone. There's more...can you believe there's more?
