So much for THIS potential date!

Not sure if you guys remember a few weeks ago I began talking with this guy on Match - who was a pilot. & miricale of miricales, he


I do give you credit for being the best female warrior and getting out there in the big bad dating world!! We love your stories - you are such a riot and asset to our board. LOL!
I think we are all going to put on an outfit like that and take off for the store and other places - I mean - what are the chances of you running into him never mind like THAT! (Sorry to hear you had to work so hard - I guess that is part of your duty?!)
Anyway, I would not email the pilot anything - let him make the effort. I think it is great that you did not "settle" for a kids accompanied dinner to that pizza place. While it is great that he is a good single dad and lives in your town it seems that he cannot make time for you. The pilot profession probably does not help. I bet he calls. It is nice that he had that reaction - and you did stop and talk to him which is encouragement enough for him.
As for Mr.Dinner - did you like him? I mean, I think that if you had any possible positive reaction to him I would go for a 2nd date to dinner. And he does owe you one from last time. It is good for you to get out of the house.
Believe me, when they want to see you, they call. And the more you don't answer or avoid them the MORE they call.
MrRunner called me many times trying to get me to talk about his training. I bet he called 15 times - and I never answered.
Just my .02..... I am sure the others will love this story and chime in as well.
R~ you have absolutley nothing to explain. NOTHING. I'm assuming he knows what you do. Any guy with a brain will be able to figure out that you just came from work, and that you probably put in one helluva long shift. Any guy without a brain, who is THAT focused on looks isn't worth your time, anyhow.
Don't even worry about it. When he contacts you again, I'm betting he won't even mention your appearance. If he does, and it isn't perfectly complimentary, NEXT! You want a guy who doesn't need to see Barbie- not that you can't get dolled up and knock his socks off- but you have a life you're living here, and scrubs and long days and makeup-less faces are all a part of that life. If he can't handle that, better to find out now.
One more thing- you're gorgeous. Don't even worry about what people think about the way you look. you're stunning, with or without makeup and all of the accoutrements of being a woman.
Moody, not stressing about her appearance, ever

If it were me, I wouldn't go out with the $200 steak guy. He was boring last time.
The Pilot, to me, it sounds like he is interested in you. Maybe the Carlos involvement is coloring the way you view other men in more ways than you realize. The Pilot recognized you in Wal-mart and he said, "Wow, hi!" He could have completely ignored you and you wouldn't have spotted him. He shook your hand. That's so respectful.
You do not have to contact the Pilot and I'd recommend against doing that. He will contact you and try to ask you out again. I would probably work with him as much as I could to fit him into my schedule if he asks you out again because he really went out on the limb with Walmart meet-and-greet. Give a coffee date and a chance.
Good luck. This all sounds fun.
