adventures in dating

Well my first venture into the whole single, dating scene in hmmm, lets see...14 yrs...was a bust. I met B2 out a few months ago, Gigi introduced us, gave him my number...he asked me if I wanted to get together then and I balked, no not just balked, FREAKED OUT...fast forward to my birthday, out with Gigi again and I see him, we hang some, I start to think, well maybe I CAN do this whole single girl thing after all...a few texts, a few emails, finally we decide on lunch. The plan was he would call me in the a.m. let me know where we were headed and what time.

Ok, so it's 11:30, no call yet and I'm starting to get a little nervous...I call him, no answer, I leave a message to the effect of "hey, standin' in my closet wonderin' what I should wear, since I don't know where we are going, gimme a call." Two minutes later, a text...he is stuck out of town and wants a raincheck. A TEXT, dude, if you are gonna cancel have the f*cking decency to call...and the worse part is, I haven't heard from him since. One would think there would be a text, email or a call once he got back to town...nope.

WTF!!?? Seriously? So the gut says he hooked up the night before, she was still there when I called, and now he is no longer interested...NO PROBLEM, but have the balls to pick up the phone. In all honesty, I knew this guy wasn't soul mate material, but I figured it would be a good way to get my feet wet, put myself out there, and have fun...not so much. If this is how guys are these days, NO THANKS. I know I am a little rusty, and I don't know how to "play the game," but the last (and if memory serves, only "real") date I went on, we both knew about 10 minutes in would never amount to anything...difference is: he was NICE, called me the next day, and even now recounts the story of our ill fated date with a laugh whenever we see each other. Has that much changed in 15 years?
