There’s a new guy as of maybe a week ago. Again, from the freesite (what!). He’s an ex-missionary who was a live in nanny over the last year and now works at a “high end burger joint”. He’s a year older than me and is pretending to shave his beard with an axe in his profile picture. We emailed a few times and now have a date scheduled for tomorrow night! He’s actually really funny (finally!) and is taking me for some free food adventures on Michigan Avenue. I’m excited but also worried that I won’t be attracted to him in person. It’s even harder to tell what he looks like now since he said he shaved his beard. What would be worse though is if I like him a lot and he’s not into me at all. That is a familiar scenario!
Sometimes I wonder if I’m attracted to guys who don’t really seem that interested in dating me. This reminds me of a story… I had this great friend who tried to set me up with two different Christian men that he knew. The first is a story for another time. The second guy I was supposed to meet at a concert that our mutual friend was performing. I brought a wing-girl, and thank goodness I did because he never showed up! Later I recounted my disappointment to someone and said “Well he seems to care little about me, so it sounds like he’s definitely my type!”. True story.
On the site that I paid good money to match me with menfolk there has been another dead end with the latest man to advance through Guided Communication. The step that required effort slowed another Romeo from climbing my up balcony. But a few new men started the process so the odds are one of them will come through standing.
BUT! If this date tomorrow goes well then maybe I don’t have to worry about any of those laggers!
Wish me luck!
