i cannot make this stuff up

so, there are a couple of guys that have been emailing/texting recently, so i thought i'd update you on the latest in my dating chronicles, haha

1) jeremy, started out emailing and seemed really nice.  after about a week, asked for my number to "text" didn't even mention calling, of course.  the catch with him is that he is 35.  i thought for sure he would call, how is it that someone who is older than me, doesn't call, so ANNOYING.  regardless, i gave him my number, and i have since learned that he is currently unemployed, because he used to coach college football and is now trying to teach and coach high school football.  this was his decision, according to him, he wanted to move back to SC, so he is waiting to get into the PACE program and is not working.  i don't have an exhaustive list and have tried to be very understanding about a lot of things and be less picky, but really ambition and employment is kind of huge.  it is annoying to me that he is not working and he texts me all through out the day about nothing.  i am working and i am busy.  i thought i'd post you a pick of the nonsense he sends me all throughout my day. notice the times, all through my workday. 

2) another guy, whom i will call OJ, had winked at me (some ridiculous feature of match.com) a while back so i emailed him between christmas and new year's... never got a response, which is no big deal.  honestly, i never thought twice and forgot all about him, until the other night.  i am about to go to bed and get an email from him.  he apologizes for delay in response but explains he has a reason.  (if you haven't heard me discuss how guys are somehow drawn to tell me their whole life story on day 1, then you may not think this one is as funny).  so, goes on to explain that shortly after signing up for match, he received a call explaining to him that he had an almost 5 year old son that he wasn't aware of.  he said, obviously my focus has been on him, being a good day, and all of that for the past three weeks, but i am not going to turn down the opportunity to date someone... so if you would like to get to know each other, that would be great, but i understand if not.  seriously, what in the world...

3) i have another guy that is my favorite, but last time that was dangerous and turned out horrible.  i'll call this guy church softball, as my best friend, lindsey, gives them all nicknames.  he is nice, very slow to respond, but seems very normal.  i am praying that if it is in God's will He will orchestrate it and i am not trying to be pushy.

oh and a few more friends have people they want to set me up with, but for now, i'll just leave those alone.  i will say that one is 32 and likes glee, i cannot even imagine, but again, i try to have an open mind and be open to at least meeting guys once:)

if you are married or in a serious relationship, be so very thankful, dating is for the birds, ha!
