annnnnnd... poof!

Texting guy seems to have gone poof. I'm ok with this. During our last date - a lunch date - he asked me to come to his stage performance that same night. He pushed pretty hard at this, right up until he walked me back to my office. I couldn't come up with a great excuse why I absolutely couldn't go. I didn't promise, but I left open the possibility. I couldn't actually go because of the Rules - it was the same night, plus "[i]f you meet a performer and he offers you a ticket to see his concert or show as a first date, politely decline. Attending his show is not a date. If he wants to see you the night of the show, he must pick you up afterward and take you out." --Rules II Chapter 14, Don't be a Groupie and Other Rules for Dating Celebrities and High-Profile Men. Plus I was tired and slammed. He probably took this as the final straw.

I find it fascinating how some think that texting guy was either not that into me or waaay too lazy; and others of you think I drove him off and he would have been better if I hadn't acted so disinterested. I think he was a decent guy who had the potential to be that into me but wasn't yet, and doesn't really have any interest in real courtship. I don't really blame either of us for this fizzling. I don't regret my actions, and his thoughts that I'm not responsive enough are well-founded.

Facebook guy went poof too. I'm slightly less okay with this even though I barely met the guy. I got myself all excited about him. Lesson learned, I guess.

I am very sloooowly interacting with exactly one dude on eharmony, which is a separate post I'll write pretty soon. Eharmony, meanwhile, has run out of Jewish guys within 60 miles of me and has started matching me with guys in San Antonio who can't spell, and guys in New York City who seem perfect for me but are in New York City.

I have an inkling that there are a few guys I've made friends with who might be into me. I'm not really into them that way though.

In other words, very few if any prospects on the horizon. I anticipate that this dry spell will continue, because I am

(i) buying a house
(ii) leaving town on a 2-week business trip; and
(iii) a little exhausted from thinking about dating, and am more or less ready to try not to.

I consider this to be "happy and busy" time per the Rules, and thus within the scope of my blog. I'd like to keep writing, but I may wander off topic for the next month or so (month #3 of 6).
