Playing With Matches

What started as a means of chronicling the online dating experiences of two picky yet adventurous almost thirty somethings has turned into a chronicle of all that is, was and has made up their collective dating histories. Our two original daters are now joined by several other fun, breezy, sassy gals, and Playing With Matches is now a missive on dating misadventures, a cacophony of ups and downs, turmoil and bliss. With a bit of snark mixed in here and there.

idiot.

me. i'm an idiot. an indecisive idiot but an idiot nonetheless.

i met a boy. he called too much, he didn't ask me out correctly...anything and everything was wrong with him.

i did the immature "sort of blow you off" thing...as in waited almost until it was too late to call back or calling on the way to something so that there would be a set ending to point to phone calls. also as in making excuses not to go out with him.

then two weeks ago i called him back (it had been a week and a half since he had left a message..i know i'm mean) and to my surprise i enjoyed our conversation. and to my bigger surprise i found myself asking him out that weekend. and the biggest surprise: i had a great time.

so now...he doesn't call so much. he doesn't answer when i call and waits days to return said calls.

and with his change of behavior i have found myself becoming a spoiled brat. and on friday i embarrassed myself badly...taking exception and accusing of him being a liar by texting he had just gotten home (from out of town) when in fact he had been home for hours drinkign with one of his buddies. of course this "anger" stemmed from the fact I had been waiting for him to call me back for days...

but still...

i left message today on his voice mail apologizing. he has not returned my call.

of course.

i'm an idiot.

oh, rj. i feel your pain. it seems as though (and i'm living this) we always seem to want what we could've had or can't have. even if it's not necessarily what's best for us at the time. something is better than nothing and when we get nothing while in search of something, well, it sucks.

i hope he has since called back.
