My dating life started slowing down, so I decided to give online dating another chance. It took a couple weeks, but finally a nice lady answered my email. She looked very pretty in her photos, and after reading her profile I felt there could be the possibility of a match. She emailed me, and said that she had noticed me on the site a while ago. Then she gave me her number, and we had a couple nice conversations. We decided to meet for drinks, and I let her select the place. Our schedules kept conflicting, so getting the date set up was a little chore. Finally we set up the day, and time. I told her I would call about an hour before, in case I had to work later.
About an hour before the date, I called to let her know I was on time. That’s when she gave me the bad news, that she could not make it. Something happened at home, and she was hoping to reschedule our date. I guess I might have been a little upset, thinking she could have called me earlier if she was going to cancel. Yes I know things happen at the last minute, but I could tell from the conversation, it was not a last minute problem. Anyways I said sure let’s try again.
It took a few more days to get our schedules together, and then we set another date. She picked a nice little restaurant, that had a great bar area for drinks and conversation. When I arrived she was already there having a glass of wine. Little did I know it was actually her second drink? She looked as good as her photo, and I walked over and gave her a hug. We talked for a while; she talked a lot about her kids, and her job. Then I told her about my job, and about my kids, too. The conversation seemed to go really well. We talked and joked a little, never really getting into what our interests were. It was a work night so we had to end it early. We got up and walked to her car, where we hugged and said goodnight. I asked her out again, and she said she was available that weekend. I called her the next day and left a message thanking her, and asking about Saturday night. I did not hear back till the next day, when she texted me, saying she did not think we were a match.
