The search for Mr. Right among all the Mr. Wrongs...

It's been brought to my attention that I haven't blogged recently about my dating life.  Sadly, not much to tell.  Mostly because I'm still kinda sad over cutting things off with MM and also because there just hasn't been anyone that interesting to come along.  If you'd like to have a good laugh at my expense or cry alongside me, here are the details...

TS (Tall Scientist) and I met up twice.  Both times he was more than 20 minutes late without calling.  The 2nd time, I finished my drink that I had ordered 10 minutes before he even got there and left 10 minutes afterwards.  We haven't spoken since.  (Source:  Nerve)

CD (Christian Democrat) was interesting and nice enough...definitely a cutie...blond, blue-eyed, tall.  But, I had the feeling he was a bit too conservative for me...not politically, but socially.  He doesn't drink.  I never thought that would be a deal-breaker in my life, but I think it would be an issue since I'm a borderline alcoholic.  Ha!  I haven't heard from him in a week so this could all be a moot point.  (Source:  friend of a friend)

BG (Big Guy) is this big, boisterous, loud guy that walked into the pub I was at, proceeded to insult me by telling his friend that he doesn't want to work with "uptight people who think they have it all together...like this woman over here".  After he realized I was offended and annoyed, he serenaded me with Mick Jagger, bought me another beer, and asked for my number.  I gave it to him.  I'm an idiot.  But, he made me laugh.  We'll see if he calls.  (Source:  "met him at a bar")

MB (Mr. Bell) is this guy that reminds me of my 4th grade teacher (Mr. Bell).  I read his online profile and liked him immediately.  I reached out to him and we've since exchanged 4 lengthy emails.  Finally, when I suggested he email me outside of the dating website, he stopped writing.  Huh?  He starts a master's program this week and could possibly have been out of town for the long weekend.  But, I refuse to obsess like I typically do when I like someone.  He's my only viable option still in the running.  (Source:  Nerve)

GB (Grocery Bagger) and I met because he bought my camera that I posted on Craigslist.  He was really funny and witty when he responded to the ad.  We emailed each other about 10 times before we even set up a time for pick up.  We have a TON in common!  It was kinda freaky how much.  BUT...he's 33, still going for his degree...and I found out he works at Whole Foods.  Yes, at this point in my life, that kinda bothers me.  When we met in person, he was decent looking, but I couldn't get over the grocery thing.  He asked me out every day this past weekend and I've always "had plans".  Pass.  (Source:  Craigslist Classifieds)

ND (News Director)...I haven't met this guy in person yet, but he reached out to me through the online site and has been very timely and persistent with his communication.  Nothing stood out to me about him except for the fact that he's 6'3 and sports a mustache (which is just ballsy and stylish), and I'm curious what news station he works for.  We'll see.  We're on our final stage before we can send messages freely (it's eharmony's "guided communication")  (Source:  eharmony)

So, that's it.  Nothing to write home about...just to write a blog about.  Ha!  Doesn't look like my single days are anywhere near over...but still, I'm having fun...
