"She's Just The Flavor Of The Week"

So the mystery of 30-something (well now we have to add 40-something) men continues. I mean, I have had NO luck with any of the ones I had met. Thus....my single status. I think about the Blonde & her rude little Pocket Cop that we had met way back in Huntington. And his friend, The Infiltrator. He & Crak tried a go at it a couple of times, but , alas, he turned, too.

This weekend it was KDP's turn. She has a ski share and met the guy who owns it last year. Random flirting occurred over the summer. Nothing came of it. She was all set to go up to the ski house two weeks ago and the flirting began. Yippee! She had a fun weekend with Ski Guy. And then? Nothing.

Any emails he sent her way were all business. She went back up this weekend & it was the same business-like treatment. As if nothing had happened two weeks ago and they weren't even back at "Square One". They may as never have flirted at all.

What is going on here? Four single, professional, good-natured, good looking women who are looking for some sanity in just one man and we can't find anybody? Why are 30-something men (and those in their 40's) trying so hard to extend their youth? What is so bad about growing up? Behaving responsibly? Moving forward with life? Why the constant games, deceit, nastiness, and immaturity? And it isn't just chance encounters. This is every time.

People need to get over themselves. They need to stop being so insecure, realize that they are not as special as their mothers told them, and grow up. It isn't such a bad thing. It's actually rather nice!
