I've been out of the dating loop for quite a while now. But with spring in the air, that may be about to change soon.
Two weeks ago, I placed an ad (out of amusement/curiosity) on CL. I didn't think much about it at the time figuring the chances of meeting someone I'd be remotely interested in were slim to none. I guess pessimism works wonders.
Within hours, I had a super hot guy contact me (who actually seemed normal enough). We began emailing a bit...but then, he mentioned an impending out of town business trip. Ahhh, code red for "I'll be ghosting on you soon", right? Naturally, I went on about my business of meeting other people. Could I possibly get lucky twice? Pfffflllttt.
A few days before my ad would expire (and after now being subjected to several penis photos and your various token CL responses) I had two more very nice looking, articulate and cerebrally functioning men turn up.
I have a date with one of them tomorrow, and am in the process of setting up a date with the other guy. Meanwhile, the guy who I was certain would ghost returned from his business trip and left me a voicemail today.
All in all, I feel fortunate to have some potentially interesting prospects lined up. But then...I can't help but feel a little funny about preparing to meet more than one guy in a relatively short period of time. This is just not my style!
And while I agree completely with the 'eggs in a basket' theory, I'm generally used to just being in contact with one, and not three people at a time. I realize people do this all the time, but this is new territory for me!
So now I find myself going back and reading all the emails thoroughly to make sure I've got all my facts straight. That Zach is the guy who likes to rock climb, not Cory. It's a bit like cramming for a test the night before a big exam. How sad is that?! LOL :)
If anyone has some wisdom to share with me...please, feel free to pass it along. I'm open to pointers.
