Well, I had my first real date in six months last Tuesday. I was excited, because it was someone I actually met in REAL LIFE at a networking thing. I had been on a self-imposed dating break until I met this guy, and decided I was ready to get back out there again. It was the first time I had looked forward to a date in a long time.

We just met for a drink after work - had a nice time. There seemed to be enough interest there on both sides to warrant a second date. He asked me to send him my personal number (he only had my work info) at the end of the date. So, I e-mailed that the next day.

He didn't call. Then, he finally e-mailed last Friday to say he'd call. He didn't. I replied to the e-mail Monday. He replied yesterday and said he'd call last night. He didn't.

ARGH. Seriously, if he's not interested, why doesn't he just let it go? It makes me insane when guys say one thing and do another. It stinks to have someone get my hopes up and then dash them like that.

Thanks for letting me vent.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

I know this can sound cliche, but I know what you're going through, and I hate it for you. They need to come up with some sort of date drug for women to slip in men's drinks while they're in the restroom. They could call it something like, "Ghost Busters".
