Not So Perfect

I bet you guys want an update about my date with Mr. Perfect.

He was, alas, not perfect.

I had a perfectly great time.  He was perfectly normal.  Handsome.  A perfectly cool guy.  I think that may be my longest first date on record.  We went to a baseball game and then after that I did not turn into a pumpkin (as I normally would) and we went and got something to eat.  He was a perfect gentleman (he got my car door and he paid).  He didn’t meet all of my criteria, in fact, he didn’t meet two of my major three.  But, I had such a good time (we never ran out of things to talk about) that I was willing to overlook my list and try again.  He said he wanted to see me again.  We even talked about possibilities for this week.  But, as I write this on Wednesday night, exactly a week after, there has been perfect radio silence.  So, there you have it.  Easy come, easy go.

A perfectly ordinary dating story…  The dude didn’t call, and I have no idea why.*  After last weeks’ post, though, he will join the Spitter  in the ranks of the Attribute Men (whose names I don’t remember) as “Mr. Perfect.”

*At least he didn’t kiss me.  There was the one guy last fall, The Kisser, who, on a first (online) date (which made this seem forward), kissed me, told me he wanted to see me again, complimented me on my beauty and the fact that I smelled amazing, and then I never heard from him again.  And he blocked me on the online dating site that I met him on.  I thought, “Huh.  Did I drive away weird?"

  2. Although I'm not caught up to your current blog posts (have been reading from the beginning), I wanted to let you know that your blog has brought me a lot of comfort in the past few weeks. I lost my husband unexpectedly two weeks ago. I'm 30, he was 36 and I found him in our home. I've been blogging about it too, but reading your process through this situation long term has made me feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Just wanted to thank you for putting your story out there for us others. <3

    1. Oh, Lauren, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that you're going through this. Thank you so much for letting me know that my blog has been helping you, that's exactly why I've done it, and this reminds me that it's still important. Thinking of you and praying for you tonight. xx
