Hi Spark,

Great going!! I am of the mind that is a good idea to have a few 'in the works', then someone is Always calling so you do not have time to think about why/what/when--"Practiced Confusion" (geeee...that describes my Life--lol!)

I have had only One person I was remotely attratced to, in 7 months if OLD. 2 1/2 months with him, and I got the "I am not sure you're The One" email, and it was over. He is the one that I say had "more issues than Life magazine"--Bygones, his bad!

So, I have had 3 dates in 9 days with New Man. We have had fun and he has come out of his shy shell and really surprised me. We have a date tonight,and for Some reason, I think he is gonna cancel. Prob because he has called me lots less in the last 2 days...we got pretty Close the last time together, but I do not think it is a case of "hit and run"; more that is was his days off, he played golf, etc...

Wierd is that I have Great self-confidence in ALL other aspects of my life, no matter how difficult things get. But, if I really like someone, I go stupid!! Worrying, etc...my guy pals say he would be Crazy not to be thrilled, he might be back off Because we got close, and roll with it....

Man, I am trying!

Does this happen to anyone else? I usually SO do not care if a man ever calls me again....

Truly,
Cupcake

Awesome sparkle! I hope Germany guy calls since he seems to be the frontrunner in your book! I am sure with all his travel it is taking a bit to get reacclimated but I hope you don't have to go too long without hearing from him. Cutie guy and Antartica guy both sound somewhat promising as well. I bet Antarctica guy has some interesting stories. Yeesh, I am so anti-cold weather I think something like that would be excruciating!

I always think it is good to have a few irons in the fire too but my problem is that I usually don't have that! Right now I have 5 guys from eHarmony that I am in open communication/email with, one guy from Matchmaker that we are going to try to meet next week (we talked on the phone briefly) and one cute guy from Match that just sent an email after we exchanged winks but I can't respond since I am not a paying member! He might actually be worth the 3-day free join especially since I have dumped MM.

Cupcake, I am there with you! Except that I don't have tons of self-confidence in most other areas, but I definitely have much LESS in the dating arena. I always feel like I turn into a 14 year old with a crush again anytime there is a guy I really like that I would love to call me back or love for something to develop. I think it is just that anticipation and then the worry that it will not work yet AGAIN! Sigh... I am so ready for something to go well on the dating front - well, hopefully with 7 prospects, something will go OK!

Hi Vex,

That is it, Exactly! I have not cared if many wrote back/asked me out again..two, to be honest; this is the second in 7 months of OLD and tons of emails, conversations, and 7 meets..and I feel like they have come at me the first 10 days with guns blazing, a great joyride, and then...Bam!...it is like they retreat to the fort, but I am the only one who did not get the 'cease and desist' orders. Leaves me doing the Scooby Doo noise....Hrrgghhhh?

Maybe I am too jaded, or Too cautious. It is like I hear "The End" anvil whistling towards me, I just wish they would go ahead and Tell me when the ETA of Impact is--lol! I would surely like to relax about this more, and it is what I tell others to do...just cannot be sensible with Myself! (duhhhh....)

Good luck on the numbers, they gotta play out well!!! :) Keep us posted!

Truly,
Cupcake
