Guess who I heard from today. Yup, Mr. Metrosexual-Late-Phone-Call Guy. He left a message because he couldn't get through by email (you know, since I had blocked him through the site). He said he wanted to explain why he'd called that late and apologize. He said he had called that late because he wanted to call and that I had told him that "my phone would be turned off". I rechecked the emails I had sent and I never said that my phone would be off so he either confused me with someone else or made that up to cover his hide.

Also, he said he wanted to make me an "offer". He has tickets to a couple concerts and the opera in the next few weeks and wanted to know that if as mature adults we could meet and go to one together. OK, ya'll know me fairly well. Do I seem like an opera girl? And as far as concerts - in the last couple of years, I have been to the Rolling Stones, the Dixie Chicks, Barenaked Ladies and Barry Manilow. I also bought tix for Christina Aguilera but she cancelled the date. So you can see my music tastes are... ohhh, shall we say... cheesy? I'm thinking the kind of concerts he is talking about are not really my thing.

He ALSO tells me how the last few months have been really tough because he lost his mother in August. Just kind of throws that in.

I am not enticed in the slightest to go out with him or even call him back. If he'd told me he had Mavs tickets (basketball) or Desperados tickets (arena football), I might have at least thought about it. But this 1) confirms that he is SO metrosexual 2) he didn't really bother to read my profile well or my emails and 3) the throwing in the mother passing away for a sympathy thing... I don't know how to react to that. I don't doubt that his mother has passed away, but why bring it up in this message unless you are looking for sympathy and trying to play on someone's emotions? I may seem like a callous bi$&*, but that was really not necessary.

Am I being a horrible person? I still really don't want to call him back. He becomes less attractive with each thing he does and says. I don't care if he calls me names and thinks I am a horrible person. I don't know him and he obviously knows nothing about me so I couldn't care less what he thinks. I am just annoyed at this situation.

IMO that was a non-apology dressed up as an apology.

I think it sounds like you had a great date! Something to put a smile on your face for the weekend. I don't believe that HJNTIY if he doesn't ask for a date on the spot...I think that's a pretty tough standard to hold someone to. JMO, but I think it's accurate.
