Ok guys, I'm frustrated, I'm moody, and I want to binge. This is because I'm cursed with guys, definitely an emotional eater at heart, and I know for a fact that there's a family sized bag of Ruffles in the kitchen and a carton of chocolate swirl in the freezer. But look where I am instead! I'm NOT in the kitchen with my hand in the figurative (or literal, for that matter) cookie jar.
I was engaged when I was in college, and when that relationship ended some 5 and a half years ago, I've totally been cursed with guys. Back then, I had a year left in college in Arkansas, so I didn't waste my time or anyone elses. I proceeded to get my master's in NE Tennessee, was too busy for men and didnt want to waste their time either since I wasn't staying after I got my Master's. So that's 3 years explained, but the other 2.5? Ugh.
Met a guy online, from out of town. He came to visit me. Once.
Met a guy on facebook. We went to a movie. Once.
Met a guy at work. We went out. Once.
Met a guy on eHarmony. We didn't even make it to the go-out stage because flirt as I tried, after I gave him my number, the phone never rang.
Found a guy on eHarmony who had a crush on me in high school. Turned out to be a mean SOB who while I was trying to be playful and flirt, declared that there was a snowball's chance in [someplace warm] that he'd ever kiss me. Didn't get a first date. By that point, didn't want one.
Went out to a movie with my elementary school sweetheart. Once.
Got introduced to a friend's coworker's brother. No date.
Got introduced to a coworker's cousin. We hung out together. Once.
Now, I'm pretty laid back. I know it doesn't sound like it in this post, but I generally save the anxiety, what's wrong with me, attitude for private. I was totally cool and playful and fun with every single one of those guys, and nobody's ever interested in seeing me again. Reason tonight is more of an emotional eating trigger is cause I really wanted to like coworker's cousin. He was cute, understood all my nerdy jokes, and likes to play games. I LOVE GAMES! So he said his fam was gonna have people over for board games, and since I was off work, he'd give me a call or email me to see if I was still interested. That was Tuesday, and the night in question was tonight. In those five days, I've heard not a peep from him. No call, no email, no nothin. Bleh. We're not dating, this is more the getting-to-know-you phase, but still...
Anyway, at least I have triumph over the chips and ice cream.
Yet another chick with bad man luck
. I understand completely how you feel...it stinks when guys do the I'll call you and you try not to wait around for the phone to ring-but you're waiting around for the phone to ring. Sigh. No fun at all.
