The latest un-match that has begun is with a man who has been out of a job for over a month. I have nothing against this...I dated Cowboy who had 7 jobs in 3 1/2 years. I know that companies lay off due to contracts ending and them literally having no work for an entire sector of their employees. However, I am not sure if meeting people and trying to date them while budgeting is the smartest thing to do.
I have not asked him what it is "he does" because, as far as I can tell, he doesn't. He emailed me a nice letter filled with similar interests & questions for me. Good start. I replied. He then sent me his screen name for aol and we have chatted just this morning. Nothing major. Nothing earth-shattering. Nothing that has made him stand out (yet) from any of the other freaks, self-proclaimed geeks, and weirdos that have crossed my path so far.
His last email to me was an hour ago with his cell # and a statement saying "I am not usually this forward, but you seem really nice and I thought it'd be easier if we talk on the phone to see if we 'click'". That is what they all have said so far.
The problem? The ones that I have gone out with and talked with (at length) all think we "clicked" and I thought I had sent CLEAR signals that it was a "no-go" for me. All of this game-playing, first date jittering, and aimless 'getting to know you' crap is wearing thin on my nerves & patience.
I guess we shall soon find out the fate of Mr. Unemployed.
