another one bites the dust

As you can guess from the title, there will be no date tonight with BF. He called this morning to tell me that he thinks he got caught up in the excitement of our first date but upon reflection realizes he does not feel the right chemistry with me. He really enjoys my company, thanks I am amazing, would love to keep in touch, yada yada yada....

I am just a little bit sad but overall, I am surprisingly alright with it and I think he is right. We had a great time together and being newbies we got a little excited and ahead of ourselves.

I will chalk this up as lesson learned on getting too excited too early on but also as a sign that I am on the right track. I know that I am meeting the right kind of guy I just haven't met my guy yet.

On that note.... I do have two meets set up for this week. Onward and upward!

Sorry this happened, but you DO have the right attitude -- onward & upward! Kinda like what some women I work with say, "chin up, breasts out!" :)

Sigh... well, that's too bad! It's likely because he's so new to OLD, he got caught up in the moment and the "newness", instead of thinking whether or not you two were a good match.

I'm just glad you're taking it all in stride and are going on further dates :)

I hate it when that happens. Its all part of the game though. Rules are you have to have a thick skin to play the game. And if you dont have a thick skin you will develop one soon.

Oh Savannah you might just be my dating hero now. I really love your attitude. I had to date quite a bit to find SYB and I think you need a good head on your shoulders. You've got it girl!!

I just know that 2009 is my year and I am not settling until I get there! Right now I am still optimistic but if I find myself becoming jaded I will take a break. I really think it was a timing thing with BF. He is brand new and still checking things out. In hindsight, I wish I wasn't the first girl he talked to or met but it is what it is. Funny, he keeps checking out my profile. I will go about my life but in time if our paths cross again I will be open to it because he at least he was a stand up guy.
