Five dates this week…
And three of them didn’t show up
Quick update here: typing from a cafe where I planned to meet a girl on a date, 1 hour’s drive from where I live. She didn’t text until I was already here for an hour, saying she overslept and her family took her car. As RedQuest reminded me,
Some girls want boyfriends and some girls don’t
And as with many aspects of dating, what the person does is often more indicative than what the person says.
Why did I let myself drive an hour to meet a girl who was flakey enough to not text back or show up?
While I’m currently working on my job campaign, I don’t have set working times, which allows for as many dates as I let myself (impulsively and/or conscientiously) take on. Hence, five dates: 1 with [a girl I’ve been in a semi-relationship with and plan to write a post about soon], 2 with semi-cute (?) girls I’ve had in my phone for over a year who both flaked1, and 2 with new girls from Online “Dating”, one 18, thin, hot, high-potential, and “bored with normal people”, the other ~28, fat and unsightly, just out of her only relationship, and living paycheck to paycheck. The latter and I agreed we weren’t a good fit.
At any rate, in answer to the question, “how can I make this experience a win for me?” I’m using this time the flakey girl gave me to write some posts, catch up on LinkedIn, and submit a few job applications. Credit for the positive mindset/reframe mostly goes to Andy from KYIL.
- There might be a trend here, but there’s contrary data point I’m including in a future post [link to the post of the 100+ notch girl] ↩︎
