On to the Next

Still no word, so back to the online dating universe I delve.

On deck for this week from the online realm is a super smart attorney whose personality is *hopefully* more humorous and engaging than his writing samples might indicate. Now I finally feel like I understand where men come from who say they were “intimidated” by my usage of proper English in emails and commas in text messages since, with this dude, I also feel the pang of intimidation. He has planned a classier date than his other online counterparts - a trip to a tasteful wine bar I've always wanted to try. I'm cautiously optimistic, but only time will tell whether or not this dude is fantastic or just another one date wonder.

I still wish Mr. Outing would have stepped up and made asked me out on a real date, I suppose he still could, but the glimmer of hope I had for him is fading fast. At the end of the day I want someone who doesn't need to be poked and prodded to ask me out - I should not be the only one who initiates conversation or plans. As a good friend said, "The beginning of a relationship is not supposed to be hard." Yes, relationships take work, but when it's right - it's right. It'll feel easy at the start and he'll go out of his way to show you he is interested.
