so, i took about a three to four month break from online dating, as i was truly just exhausted from the awkward first dates, the ups and downs, and so much more. i was finally ready to join the online dating world again, after that much needed break. pretty quickly i got matched up with some cute guys and i was excited.
"two-timer" was the first guy. obviously from the name alone, you know this doesn't end well. i was genuinely so excited to meet him. he seemed so nice, very funny, and it was just easy to talk to him. after about a week and a half of us messaging one another, he asked to meet up. i will not bore you all with the details of the next part, but suffice it to say that we realized we had a mutual friend, and it was a girl he dated. he told me to talk to her, so i did. she said that they dated for about three months, and that he was the one guy she would go back out with, if he asked. wow. i couldn't believe my luck. if they had just gone on a few casual dates or met for dinner and coffee, then i could deal with that. unfortunately, that was not the case. so, i had peace in my decision, that we would not meet. it gets better though. my friend is still friends with him on FB, so she sent me a screen shot a few days after all this went down that said he was in a relationship. now, i know 13 year olds post funny things, like in a relationship with their bffs, but not grown men. it really stinks, because i thought he was a great guy, super respectful, and overall a great guy...i was wrong. i can see that all of this was God's protection, but sometimes i am in disbelief at what i encounter.
second guy didn't really get a nickname, but he was a civil engineer, so we can call him that. we messaged for about a week or two and then he asked to meet up. unfortunately, our schedules did not mesh well because i was travelilng for work/going out of town and his schedule, so it was supposed to be this week. well,, i didn't hear from him for a few days, so i sent him a message yesterday saying it was nice to get to know him a little, but good luck in his search since i hadn't heard from him. he responded later and basically told me that he was really sorry that he hadn't reached out to schedule a time to meet, but a girl he has dated on and off for a year, reached back out last sunday, and he has been trying to figure out if he wants to date her again. he told me he was "emotionally unavailable." a good friend of mine, was like, isn't that something girls say, hahaha. so, another one bites the dust.
this road of singleness is hard, but definitely provides entertainment. i will keep posting, but i am going to make this blog private. i don't want any of these guys getting access to my stories. if you want to be added, let me know.
