Excuses, Excuses

So last year in September I had a Date Day with two random guys I met on a dating site. I really liked one of the guys; we hung out for about 6 hours. Then I went to Brazil, came back, tried to reconnect and never heard from him again.

In April, (yes you read right, April!) seven months after we'd had our one and only date, I get an email from dude: "Sorry I haven't been in touch, but I hurt my leg and I've been laid up for a while." WTF?!? I don't know what's funnier that he thought he could send me an email nearly a year later and I'd just be like, "Ok, sure! Let's go on another date!", or that he used such a lame excuse.

I mean, really...what does hurting your leg have to do with typing an email, or dialing a phone number? LOL.

I met Dude #2 on Match.com in February/early March. He was a good looking guy, but lived in another state and hadn't ever been out of the country. (Major turnoff...I understand if you live in a small country, where opportunities to travel aren't that many, but to live in America and not own a passport?!? Don't make no damn sense!) So anyway, we took it offline, started chatting on the phone every night. To be honest, I didn't get a romantic feel from our conversations; we kinda clashed a bit, and he reminded me a little of Mr. Right. Then the calls started getting less frequent; he said he was really busy at work and was working late nights (he's a school teacher; how late could your nights really be?). I just figured he met someone more interesting (I had). After a couple of unreturned calls, I let it go.

Early May (a couple months after we last spoke), I get an email (that's how you know someone's really bullshitting: when they send you an email instead of calling....remember me and the Awkward Kisser?): "Hey SE, I'm not sure what happened, but somehow we kinda lost track of each other. I'd love to speak to you again. Send me an email some time."

Again, WTF?!? We didn't lose track of each other, you stopped returning my calls, buddy. That's what happened. LOL.

Needless to say I didn't bother responding to either email. I mean, if you're gonna give me an excuse for not calling, tell me you were out of the country for a few months.

At least that's what I always say...LOL.
