Well well well. I knew this would bite me in the butt. I few weeks ago (maybe even a month now) before I decided to swear off dieting, dating and exercise, my cousin tried to set me up with one of her coworkers. He was supposed to look me up on facebook and read my profile but because my security setting are so high that didn't really work. So I waited (and looked him up - his profile is quite public). Cute but perhaps a little young. 24 to my 28, so 4 years my junior. Right there I feel uncertain about the situation. I've never really dated younger! Guys like that usually only look for the quick and dirty relationships not the long loving lasting ones, which is all I'm interested in right now (should the opportunity present itself).
So he never got to see my profile. My cousin assured me he "said" he was still interested but too shy to contact me. I said I didn't mind adding him to my facebook and sending a message. I'm not that shy sometimes... especially when you got nothing to lose online. So I added him. He accepted. I sent a mini "Hello, nice to meet you message". That was a week ago. After 4 days of no reply I sent a message to my cousin and said that I didn't think he was interested but what I really thought was, " He's seen my profile pictures and though holy COW; literally!" My cousin agreed that actions speak louder than words and the "no reply " was a sign that he wasn't interested. She promised me she would stop harassing him lol.
But low and behold a message pops up into my facebook mail not 15 minutes ago. What do we have, but a short little message from Mr. Shy himself saying , "Sorry it took so long..... been out of town.... no Internet....we will definitely chat soon." What does that mean?
So what to do? I don't know. On one hand I really shouldn't over look any potential dates. On the other hand I just pretty much vowed to give up that scene. I think what's really wrong is that I'm scared to put myself out there. I really don't want to be rejected... again. I keep thinking, "Is this going to be the last nail in the coffin (so to speak) of my dating life. But maybe I do need this final rejection so finally get it in my head that I DON"T need a man in my life. I CAN be happy alone!
Still undecided... sitting on the fence.

I'm with you on the undecided piece. I feel content by myself...most of the time. Then there I am in a theatre alone wishing there was someone beside me whose hand I could hold.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to tell you here, but I look forward to reading what happens!
