Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
Every time I get excited about the possibility of dating someone, the door gets slammed in my face. Hard. Well folks, me and my face are just about through. Seriously.
Witness: after a few fantastic email exchanges, new guy and I make plans to meet for coffee Sunday afternoon. He is to choose the location and call me Friday night since I do not have Internet at home (I am very clear on this). As of 9pm SATURDAY, I am going a little crazy since I have not heard from him. So, to quell the mocking voices in my head ("I told you so..." etc), I DRIVE TO WORK to check my email. And I find this message, sent at 1pm today:
I thought I was ready to start dating again, but it's becoming increasingly clear that I'm really not. Consequently, I should end this now rather than later. Sorry.
Anyone know what I'm supposed to think of all this? Because at this point, I'm out of ideas. Clearly I am to remain on the bench b/c whoever is coaching this game (and it is so obviously NOT me) does not think I am ready to play.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

one word comes to mind: FUCKWITTAGE. (and no, i'm not censoring it this time.) i am so mad for you.
so to that end, will you marry me? b/c i think you and i are not cut out to play with boys, so at least we can keep each other company. and forget the bench, let's just retire to the bleachers altogether.
ugh. i hate boys. (on your behalf)
Some men really suck... that's all there is to it. I so feel for you... but consider that playing a bad game sucks too. Playing the field and getting trampled on isn't any more fun that watching everyone else score while you just wait in reserve. That make it easier? yea.. I doubt that makes you feel better right?
So how about you give me his name, I'll fly out, have some K street martini's with you(oh... sounds sooo good), I'll go beat him up and tell him he should know better, because he definitely lost out on meeting a fantastic woman who would have probably rocked his world (assuming he's swinging on your side of the political pendulum).
Enough run on sentances... Head up bright one. Your fun, your smart, have great legs (can say that???) and some day, some man will realize that your amazing. Waiting for him sucks... but I know it will be worth it -
Keep trying to change the world... one child at a time.

"it's becoming increasingly clear" - what does THAT mean? What happens to you over the course of but a few days that you discover increasing clarity about your dating life? It's becoming increasingly clear to me that he's a jerk.
