I recently had a first phone call (Sunday) with a guy (Golf Guy) who was interesting enough for me to want to meet him.

Work on filling your pipeline with more prospects -- then the balance of power will shift dramatically.

Yeah, I know, but I HATE doing this crap.

Yes I have multiple people that I am meeting , talking with. I'm thinking of hiding my profile because I've reached the limit of what I can remember about people.

I tend to agree with Sparkle. Maybe it's too naive of me but I think that just because we are meeting on-line doesn't mean we should abandon all rules of human curtsey that apply to man/woman courtship. I feel bad talking to several people at the same time especially after I meet someone that I am interested in. Maybe I am wasting my time that way but I would rather be focusing on one person and be more personable rather than hit and miss many. I find it to be a huge turn off if I sense that a man juggles several people.

I have to agree with you... i have recently taken the advice of some on this board to concentrate on more than one person and avoid getting hung up on any one person.... I am so confused... spending way too much time stringing one or two along to get to the point that my schedule can accommodate them... and worse of all... when I go online to the website... the "wrong guy" than the one I am interested in talking to is there waiting... like a hawk... ugh...

LG - I agree with you in theory about dating multiple people but I think women have a much harder time with this.

I have a date tonight with the guy I wrote about in the "second chance" thread (we had a first meet, neither called the other and after a couple weeks, I emailed him and he said he wasn't sure I was interested but that he'd like to see me again). Then a couple nights ago, totally out of the blue, a guy I had a first meet with on Memorial Day (almost 3 weeks ago but who's counting) called and left me a message asking if I want to go out again. I had totally written him off, due to low spark wattage and also because he has sole custody of his 8-year-old son and seems to have very little time to date. But he's a nice guy and I like to give someone at least 2 dates to be sure so I'm thinking of returning his call. Part of me is saying, see how things go tonight with "second chance" guy, but I fear I already have too many expectations for tonight's date. Having the other guy in the wings will actually help me keep those expectations to a minimum.

I don't know -- I still can't decide whether to go out with Tardy Guy again. I mean, he did wait an awfully long time to call.

(Sorry to hijack your thread, sparkle. I do go on sometimes :)

You wrote: I said "why don't you call me Wed. when you get back" and I thought he agreed.

You "thought" he agreed. Does that mean that you're not sure? Sounds like this guy has a full plate this week. But he has been touching base with you and said he'd call Sunday. That is a definite. So I'd wait to see if he actually does call on Sunday before starting to worry if I've been blown off.

Hi Sparkle...


Sorry this guy isn't living up to our hopes! Did he agree to call you on Wednesday? Or was it just your suggestion? I too would be annoyed if he was just a town away from me and didn't want to say hi at least...


Maybe it's time to give golf guy the green? In other words... "next" him. LOL Focus on other people and see what happens...


Good luck. Keep us posted!

Kerry

I don't hype about old anymore. I don't see it as a quick fix to my personal life. Unless there is someone extraordinary rolls though my door - I am OK on my own. Maybe I will live a lonely life - maybe not.. One wa or the other there will be no motorcycles or NASCAR lovers in my future :)
