I know I'm not perfect but I do tend to be a word snob. I cringe when I read a profile that substitutes the word 'diversity' for 'adversity' as this college educated guy did but he seemed nice so I gave him my number. He had not received the memo instructing men not to tell a girl that you they are talking to for the first time that you owe your ex-girlfriend money. It might be a good idea to never mention this unless you are about to be on Judge Judy. It is also a bad idea to talk at length about your ex as it invariably reveals more about you than her. I think that was in the same memo. The first conversation is rarely the right one to go deep, to talk about your abusive father or the death of your mother, to question a person's alcohol consumption and socializing habits, to talk about marriage at all. Too much information out of context is simply overwhelming. He seemed like a nice guy who was well rounded and while he didn't sweep me off my feet, I really thought we might have some stuff in common. This is why people are never hired from a resume. But at the end of the two hours I'll never get back, he said he hoped to hear from me and I didn't have the heart to tell him that I didn't feel the same way. He even told me that if I wasn't interested, I needed to tell him but I just couldn't. Is that bad?
A parting shot. It is also poor form to call a girl twice in the space of 20 minutes. If she's not picking up, it is not a good time. Seriously, were you raised by wolves?

Seriously, lady, how come you don't have followers? I've just been sat here for a good half an hour or so reading through your posts back to January this year - and they are nowhere near as bad as some of the stuff I've seen on Blogger that DO have followers. In fact, they're well-written, with good spelling, punctuation and grammar, and actually really funny - I loved the "lookingformyboo1" email to you, it gave me a good chuckle!
I think you need to at least advertise your blog in the coffee shop, that way some people will notice your blog and follow you. That's what I did when I joined Blogger 3 weeks ago. Don't forget to follow them back of course :-)
I found your blog completely by accident on the "Recently Updated Blogs" link just as I'd signed out - but I wouldn't rely on other people finding you that way. So I shall be your first follower and look forward to reading more about your dating adventures and enjoying your self-deprecating humour. You can follow me back at http://creditcrunchcareerchange.blogspot.com by the way. Best of luck!
Holy shit... this guy is/was a TRAINwreck. (... raised by wolves... priceless!!) :)
