I like to look at dates like business meetings. Here's a little ditty from one that never quite worked out. (From an email to my friends):
So as you know - I was supposed to have a business meeting - I mean date with 5'8" Joe this evening. Well, it sucks but I had to cancel AGAIN - and for good reason!
My AC stopped working last night and I need to go meet the AC guy to get it fixed. So this is what I sent to Joe via text message today:
SARAH: Hey! Any chance for lunch next week? My AC broke and I'm going out of town. Life sucks!
And his reply...
JOE: Sorry to hear that your A/C went out, that can be annoying in the summer. I think the universe is trying to tell us that this is just not going to work out with us. I wish you the best of luck with everything. Take care.
I guess I'll have to blame it on the universe ;)
HA!

Adventures In Dating Continue...
Okay. So I was all gung ho to go on as many dates as possible and then write about them - because what a great book and adventure that would be, right? Well - I think I was wrong because I'm just getting sick of it.
Seriously - if there is one lesson I've learned through all of this - it's that you can totally tell what the guy thought of you by the end of the date.
Translation: At the end if all you get is a half hug and a "I'll talk to ya later"... that means you will never, ever hear from that dude again. He obviously didn't think you were as great as you thought he was. Or you could have which I did have once - a really great, full on hug and a "would you like to go out again?" Granted - that one ended after a month because he was "too busy"... but still!
I just keep talking myself into it though that life is better getting out there and trying to date than it is sitting at home and feeling sorry for myself. However, I'm beginning to think that this dating stuff is taking a lot more effort than I really want to put forward.
Where's my fairy godmother to drop in the man of my dreams when I need it most? Oh right - that just happens in the movies.
More adventures to come I'm sure and hopefully not too many more "half hugs and I'll talk to you laters". Hmph.
