Ladies and Gentlemen, The First Date in Four Years has left the building
Unfortunately, there’s not a lot to rehash. He’s a busy man and got even busier after we met. Due to technological pecularities, we were only able to converse while he was in the office- with me initiating most of the conversations. I got less and less comfortable with that as time went on – I had promised myself that in order to avoid that whole “He’s not THAT into you” syndrome that I’d leave most (80-90%) of the chasing to the guy.
I was planning on delivering the news in person the next time we saw each other (hopefully tonight), but he whipped out the “let’s be friends” speech first thing this morning.
Hopefully, he meant it.
On this day..

- Profound statements from my Immortal: - 2004
At least he had enough cajones to say it to you. I once got dropped by an ER doc who e-mailed cutesy things and that he was excited to see me again and then never, ever called again. And I was soooo out of his league. (at least I tell myself that.)
Kudos to you for recognizing the situation and at least planning to take charge. I tell you how many times I’m sick of hearing from my younger, married-sister, “it sounds like he’s just not that into you. Have you read that book?”
The next guy will be better. And there will be a next!
Thanks, dear. We did have a talk, and got some things cleared up. Hopefully, the “next” won’t take ANOTHER four years. *heh* -Emily
