JB and I had started talking on the phone again. Ok, that’s good. We talked Wednesday night about doing something together on Saturday and he was sure to mention that it is ok for me to call him. Well I have called him several times during this “relationship” but I let that go. So fast forward to Saturday. I left the afternoon and evening unplanned (yes I did have other things I could have done during that time) but he didn’t call. I wondered if this is one of those dating games, where we are both sitting by the phone waiting to see who is more desperate to call. Fine, I gave in and called him at 6 pm.
He was poolside with some friends and would get back with me in a little bit about if we could get together later. Hmmm. Then he calls about 10-15 minutes later and says he is with a colleague from work and they are entertaining unexpected clients from out of town and that he is going to be tied up with them all evening and we would try for another time.
Ok I know with his work his story could be true. Let’s say for a minute it is. Would a phone call to me to let me know have been too much? Yes we didn’t have firm plans and it is early on in our “relationship” but still, don’t common courtesies still exist?
However, with his blowing hot and cold, I have a feeling he is someone who is really not ready to date. That is my real gut instinct on the situation. Whatever. I don’t have the energy or time to play those games. I have a busy life and I can carve time out of things for someone special but I don’t want to be someone sitting around by the phone, waiting on him to decide if he is really up for a date or not. I don’t have time in life for that nonsense.
The good news is another guy has contacted me and we are starting the email/phone call dance. Online dating is just the weirdest thing but I figure it gives me a chance to meet guys I might not meet going through life normally.
Damn dating is way too hard.
