Lost the desire to date?

Hi everyone,
Here I am, on a Saturday afternoon, at a ripe 30 years old, with 3 guys plotting to do something with me tonight. One of them is a guy I have not yet in person from OLD, and two of them are past "interests". They are no longer even potential interests though.
So, my dilema here is not which one of them I want to go out with, but WHY I don't want to go out with any of them. You would think that one out of three might be tempting to spend some time with on a Saturday night. The more I think on it though, the more I realize I have absolutely ZERO desire to go out with any of them. I'm beginning to wonder if something is wrong with ME, not them! lol Maybe my expectations are just too high, or maybe I'm turning into the single girl who is a hermit and seriously stays home every night with her cats. I mean, I go to the gym after work, and have a few close friends that I socialize with, but none of them are the type that I would spend a Sat. night with. They are either all married and don't make room for others, or they are very single and loving it, and spend their free time in the clubs, bars, etc...
This leaves me back to what I was saying...being very content to stay at home by myself on a Saturday night (as I have for several of the past Saturday nights) because the options just aren't appealing (sp?) to me.
Does anyone else feel this way?

Oh, HECK yes...although for me, feeling that way on any given Sat night doesn't mean I've lost my desire to date, it just means I'm not up for it *tonight*.
I have to say, I personally am SO looking forward to my Netflix delivery in the mail this afternoon (Disc 2 of Season 1 of the L Word) and watching it tonight ;-).
I do have a pretty active social life including choir rehearsal 2 nights a week, so for me, having a night off, even if it's a Sat night, is a *wonderful* thing. I mean, would I *like* to have a date tonight with a guy I was interested in? Sure...but I'm not going to date just to date.
If one of these guys was potentially right for you, I'm sure you'd be all over going out with him...so don't worry about it!

I had to laugh at your comment about being excited on your Netflix coming. I do the same thing, and it amazes me at how easily entertained I am anymore.
And you're right, if I was more into any one of these guys, I WOULD be all over it. But I guess the bottom line is, I'm just not that into them. At all. It just seems there used to be a time in my life that I would have been excited to have three guys asking me out, and now I'm kind of annoyed by it. I would have FOUND something in at least one of the three that I liked and spent the time with him. And now I just don't even want to bother trying. I figure if it wasn't there when they were "interests" previously, it isn't going to be there now!!

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but Sheri, what do you think about them killing off Dana on The L Word? I think it sucks. Season 3 finale is tonight. Like you, I'm going to enjoy re-watching my Season 1/2 DVDs for my Dana fix. :)

Oh nooooo, I can't believe you told me that without any sort of spoiler warning!!!
As I said in my post, I'm only on SEASON 1!!!! I didn't want to know that, waaaah!
Maybe you could edit your post to say "Spoiler Alert" or something like that for those of us who don't have Showtime or whatever channel it's on, please ;-).
Sheri
Well crap, I didn't know that. Sorry...
I figured you're like me & you go back & re-watch old episodes.
If it's any consolation, there's a big rumor that the death is just a dream of some sort. I won't tell you if it is one way or the other.
Oh, I'm sure I'll live, but thanks ;-). I tried so hard to avoid hearing about the last season of Six Feet Under (it's still not out on DVD--soon though!) but wasn't able to avoid learning what happens, boohoo.
