How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go Away?

Two posts in one day! I promise not to always be this chatty. Who am I kidding? I talk a lot.

A few months ago I signed up for online dating. I know! I paid for 6 months. Upfront. So, I'm kind of stuck for now. I'm ready to embark on a new relationship and really, in your mid-30's where the heck are you going to meet anyone? Anyway, I've met some interesting people. People that need to be written about. Hee hee.


First, was UB. A very nice thirtysomething black guy. I'd never dated a black guy before, so I figured what the hell. Honestly, there's not much to tell about UB. He was sort of non-descript. We kind of fizzled after two dates.


Then came T. He was nice, but there was absolutely no chemistry. I never returned his call. I am mean.


Next was G. Again, zero chemistry. One date and that was it. He must've felt the same way because he never called me.


Then I met M. He was great online. Responded to emails right away. Was fairly witty. I agreed to meet him on a Friday night for some drinks. I should have known right away that he was CRAZY. We started talking on a Tuesday, by Friday he had texted me at least 20 times!

Our first date went fairly well. We had a lot in common and there was a spark. M walked me home and kissed me good night. We made plans to get together the next weekend.

And then it started. The barrage of text messages. A lot of them. All about how much he wanted us to work out and stuff that just didn't make sense after one date. Against my better judgement, I went for the 2nd date. Big mistake. He actually asked me how many dates it would take until he would be my boyfriend. Dude, how about never? He texted me last night. "I still miss you." You don't even know me.
