I was talking with Good Attitude Girl the other night about the dating scene.
G.A.G: Have you thought of asking out X?
MBC: No, I haven't. I don't ask people out. It is not My Way. And I don't know X.
As we were talking, I realized something disturbing. In a recent 6 month time period, I was stood up THREE times. And here's the thing: these were all instances in which guys asked me out and then called to cancel as they were leaving town. They fled.
Let's recap:
1. Guys (more than one, not all the same guy) invited me to accompany them somewhere. They initiated the dates. It was not my idea to go out any of these three times.
2. I agreed to the dates.
3. They canceled on me (at least one of those times I was, admittedly, relieved).
I don't think this reflects well on me. It does explain a lot about my current relationship status. It also explains why I'm frantically looking for my DVD remote. Gotta get back to the men who are constant.

Oh Pumpkin, please do not judge yourself based on GAG! Some people live in dating reality and some do not. Your time will come, I see some real excitement for you in the near future. Not that I have ESP or anything...only ESPN, and for me that is good enough (for me at least)! :)
Three leaving towns? That is mysterious and slightly suspect. You must inspire men to see the world; I think we should view this as a remarkable power.
Eliana-I hadn't thought of it until you said that, but a while back there was another one who called one night to say he was moving to Miami indefinitely. I was kind of glad, because I'd been trying to figure out how to end things, but he didn't offer any reasons for his sudden move and he wasn't sure how long he'd be there. Hmmm. It appears that I'm frequently involved with members of the mafia and/or jewel thieves.
Oh my. Perhpas Eliana has a nugget there--this may be the beginning of a very lucrative business. :)
Did the Miami man wear pastels and loafers? HE may have wanted to be Don Johnson (Todd's DVD addiction is MIAMI VICE).
Did you really read my post? Or just look at the pics? ;) And what april fool's recipe are you entering?
