Date? What date?

So I was supposed to have a date. My first date with a stranger since I met my almost-ex years ago. I promised a story, and I was looking forward to a story but I have none. Why you ask? Because it never happened. Lol

Here's the long, short version of it. Maybe someone can tell me if this is normal and if this is what I should expect. Lol

First the day before I sent a text confirming (I'm type A I confirm, deal with it :)). Basically 10 hours later he gets back to me, "Ya sure, what time we'd say again? 7pm?". Wow can this guy contain his excitement anymore! I replied we said 4:30 as per his request, we agree to move it to 7. Done, and off to bed I go.

I wake up in the morning and start taking bets. The day is divided into 2 hours windows until 4pm and they can bet when he will cancel. We hit 3:45, ding! I have a text. He's asking to postpone till the next day, cause he has to work till 7. I can't stop laughing. I say no, text me when you're done work and if I'm up for it we can meet then. When he does finally text (almost 8:30) I'm on my way to meet friends. He's willing to wait up, I say its fine and we resched for the next day. Same time, same place. Done, and off to bed I go.

Get up in the am and don't feel the need to take any bets (which I won by the way). Cause seriously this would be the third time he'd cancel and no-one can be that flaky. Ha, ha. I'm funny. Day goes by without a hitch. 3:30 pm Bing! I have a text. He's just been called for a job gotta go can we meet up later when he's done. I ask him to "define later". His reply 12ish, maybe later. Huh?!? What? Doesn't he know that its a "school" night. Who meets for a drink at midnight?

Bing! Light bulb! He's not thinking drinks, did I seriously just get booty called by someone who hasn't even met me? Now I can't stop laughing! The tears are flowing! On one hand, flattering on the other wft! I reply with no, obviously it wasn't meant to be and good luck with everything. Done, and home I go.

Needless to say, I have heard nothing more.

So that is one of the Internet guys down. Lets see if the other one is any better, seriously I only think we can go up from here. But, who knows I've been surprised before. Lol

I'm really glad I closed my account before I accepted more dates than these two. Lol.

A Date?

So I have a date, actually maybe two.

Turns out internet dating wasn't quite ready to let me go. I talked to a total of 4 people that I didn't already know. Three of them asked me out. One is never going to happen, the other cancelled last minute and the third well that ones still up in the air. I go to close my account and one guy asked me out basically the same day, my friends have convinced me to get the hell out of my house and get some adult time on one of the two nights my son is with his dad. So I figure why not break every rule I have and send this guy my number while telling him that I'm cancelling my account. Almost the next day a guy I was supposed to meet with a few weeks back emails me (we hadn't gotten to the phone number exchange part... I'm slow). We chatted abit on MSN and now we're meeting for a drink (well dinner bc I'll be starving and seriously who doesn't eat.... mmm food).

Here's my thing, or things plural because there are more than one. I'm only going to get out, maybe have some interesting conversation, do something other than crochet (yes I crochet... I'll post some goodies eventually) and work when I don't have the monkey. Problem is I haven't been on a date with a stranger in a very long time, 4 maybe 5 years. Is it like riding a bike? Or will I be rusty and need some WD40 (wait maybe that's why you just drink no food it's like dating WD40... grease the wheels). I'm not scared of it being horrible, or me making a fool of myself (I do that basically daily anyways) I can't deiced if I'm more scared of going out, having fun and not missing my friend (because it means I'm past what was/could have been great) or going out and turning into a total wreck because I'll miss him more. Kinda feel like it could go either way, flip a coin woman and decide!

Guess we'll find out. To be honest I have a feeling the first guy will be a story either way, he seems to just have a story worthy personality. lol. But, hell what isn't a story in my life.
