I’ve made a decision over the events of the last few days to make my profile on the dating site I was using inactive. It’s still there just not viewable to other members.

Update on “The Prospects”:

In my post it’s raining men I shared there were three new prospects. Just a day later in one man down two to go…well there were now only two prospects.

So I did email prospect #3 – the dude with no nickname to cancel our date for tonight. I did that yesterday.

Yesterday I was looking forward to meeting prospect #2 – the older man. But that all changed pretty quickly around 12:30 yesterday afternoon. And it was a bit of a bummer because I had connected really well with him! Once we talked on the phone we couldn’t shut up! Conversation was easy, fun, intriguing and leaving me with excitement to meet him.

The events of 12:30 yesterday afternoon that unfolded around Older Man, prospect #2:

My best friend B and our friend J work together & often go out to lunch together. Yesterday was no different. J has a profile on the same dating site I do so we often exchange stories with the men prospects to each other including B (who by the way thinks J and I are too picky when it comes to looks LOL).

Imagine my surprise, as I’m talking and getting things set up with B and J for them to go with me Friday night to the bar to meet Older Man when J is like OMG is he from ________ and I was like yes. And my mouth hung open as she said OMG is his name _______. I’m pretty sure I couldn’t even mutter a yes at that point!

I was mad. Silly I know considering uhm hello that’s what people do when they are on a dating site – talk to other people – but I just couldn’t wrap my brain around the fact that of all the women on the site he was emailing my friend J. I mean seriously what are the chances???? Oh and he’s still married! Separated but married none the less.

As we are talking J is sending him text messages and then all of a sudden I get this text message from him:

Ok. I’m having a very odd day. I’ve been emailing someone in ______ around the same time as you now I hear you guys are friends??!!!

I responded back yep and I’m just a little creeped out by this whole thing. His response back:

Interesting to say the least. I think I should bow out at this point. Very awkward. I would have never of dreamed!!!!

I responded back but don’t even remember what I said. I forwarded the text to J and she responded back that he sent her the same text. LOL But that was that. Another one bites the dust! I’m thinking that should be my theme song for my life in the realm of dating?!?

In Conclusion:

Dating disasters…actually I can’t even call them dating disasters because that would mean I actually had a date with them! But anyways…that means two men have now bit the dust leaving prospect #1 – Lansing man. But I don’t even have enough energy to give him a chance. Oh and I still haven’t heard anything more from him anyways so I guess that makes it easier to not have the energy to give him a chance.

I just don’t have any desire to keep up this dating charade or whatever you want to call it. Sure I have lots of ‘extra’ time on my hands with Caleb still being at his dad’s house but I honestly am wore out emotionally from this dating crap. Sigh.

Anyways enough beating around the bush time to move onto the big secret.

Nothing overly exciting just a date. I have a date Tuesday night. I was hoping for Saturday night but our schedules didn’t end up working out that Saturday would work so Tuesday night it is.

Am I ready for it?

Not as in ‘ready’ for it like what will I wear, etc. But as in emotionally am I ready for it?

I think so. A lot of things have changed recently and it’s really hard to explain but I’m ready and I’m actually looking forward to it!

How did we meet?

No it’s not the garbage man or the grocery store dude like I talked about in a recent post, Hey Ladies Do You Ask Men Out? It’s a guy from a dating site. And yeah yeah I know how some of you feel about the whole dating site thing. But it’s not really as bad as some of you think.

So we’ll see whether he’s just another frog or a possible prince But let’s just say that so far he’s leaning way FAR away from the frog category! But meeting in person will be a whole nother story…you can always be one person in text messages, emails and on the pone and a completely different person in person.
