Date Fail
So Mr Thursday Date failed. I text him on Thursday morning (or was it Wednesday night?) to say I'd likely work back late and would he meet me in Leichhardt for drinks after work rather than Five Dock. He didn't text me back until after 11pm Thursday night. And I was actually in bed trying to sleep, which is unusual for me! His text asked whether I wanted to meet him that night, I told him no I was in bed. He apologised for potentially waking me. I said I was still awake but perhaps meeting on Saturday would be best.
He then proceeds to ask what time and where I'd like to meet on Saturday. Need I remind you I've already told him I'm in bed, and it's after 11.30pm? I told him I'd think about it when I was awake and could we decide later.
I had the brilliant idea to meet him at the Art Gallery for the Open Weekend. But I felt so incredibly lazy on Saturday I was finding it hard to get motivated to go anywhere. I decided to let him contact me to arrange our date. He never contacted me.
For someone who was keen to meet in person because he doesn't do the online chatting, he fails to follow up. The entire time I was quite clear that I was happy to meet with him and gave parameters for appropriate times etc, but I wasn't going to lead it all. And he failed to a) respond to my texts in a timely manner or b) show some interest and initiative to get the date underway when I made it quite clear that I was quite busy and had very specific times I could see him and was willing too.
*he's just came online*
I think I'll delete him, I can't be bothered playing the game again waiting to find a time when we can meet rather than speaking online.
*deletes useless boy*
Also tonight, thanks to GNW, I heard about Yes I am Single and National Singles Day on this Thursday 17th September. I am sorely tempted to try this out. It's an idea I have had in the past, though my idea was an S shaped badge either in blue or pink (sorry sexist for generalisations about colour), if you're single and looking to meet a guy, you wear the blue pin, and wear the pink if you're looking for a girl. Doesn't matter what sex you are. I'm not opposed to making my single status obvious, and can you imagine me shopping in Supabarn with my bananas at the correct angle and wearing my I'm Single badge? Yeah, thought you'd like that.
So given it's a small investment and has the same conventions for meeting people as many other dating sites, and it's new and shiny, I might give it a whirl, if only for the amusement of my friends ;) What do you think?
