Man Up, Dude

My lovelife has been less than stellar lately.  It's getting to the point I'm seriously contemplating turning to the interwebs because isn't it "OKAY TO LOOK"?  But honestly, if I don't start meeting new gentlemen, I migh scream.

I did meet someone a couple weeks ago.  We will call him Phillies Fan for the sake of anonymity.  He was at our local watering hole, someone went to talk to him, wanted to introduce him to my one friend, and I ended up talking to him all night.  We really hit it off and realized what a small world it is.  We exchanged numbers before I left (writing them on a piece of paper, old school style).  I was giddy.  He seemed like he had definite potential.  I rarely get giddy over meeting a guy because it's rare that I ever see as much potential in someone as I did in Phillies Fan.  He had so much potential that I woke up the next day and my first thought was 'He was great...what's wrong with him?' Always the cynic, always the cynic.

I would also like to add that I have always been very outspoken about never meeting someone of relationship potential at said watering hole.  I was pleasantly surprised that I might be proven wrong.

We texted, it was going well, we made plans, we made plans to make plans before these plans, and...he never called.  Now, while I was a little disappointed I wasn't shocked as I did some Facebook investigating and noticed he went from being in a relationship to being single to being in a relationship again (this changed the day he was supposed to call).  OK, you were having issues with a girlfriend?  Fine.  We just met, you owe me nothing, but throw me a freakin' bone and call or text that our plans won't be happening.  Needless to say nothing more has come of it.  I promptly deleted his phone number and washed my hands of it.  On to the next...

And the next?  I thought I might have met him the following weekend.  But he had a girlfriend and no problems continuing to hit on me.  Thanks for being so open?  I guess.
