Love will come through, it's just waiting for you

Time to update.

I had a very relaxing weekend. I didn't schedule any match dates for the weekend, and I was glad that I didn't. It was nice to chill.

On Thursday night I met another match guy for a drink. I planned to meet him before going to the graduate class I've been attending so that we could keep it short and sweet. I'll call him SportsFan.

As soon as he sat down he said, "I'm sorry. I hacked my face this morning shaving. It's so embarrassing."

He had a cut above his top lip. I hadn't noticed it until he said it. It was cute that he was self-conscious about it.

We had a few beers in my old college haunt. We chatted for an hour. Mostly he asked me questions about things I had said in my profile. With the beer buzz, I launched into super chatty mode. I worried that I was being overwhelming, but he seemed interested since he kept asking follow-up questions.

I think we could have chatted longer, but I had to dart off to class. I love going by the way; it's great to attend a class without actually being enrolled.

I just sent SportsFan an email; I would like to see him again if he's interested.

Here's an update on the other men:

Shortly after posting about needing advice as to how to let the Inspector know that I wasn't interested, I sent him an email. It seemed that an email would be the best choice for both parties. For me, I could avoid having to hear his voice on the other end of the phone while I told him. For him, he could do whatever he pleased without having to maintain pleasantries. I used the standard let down, telling him that I thought he was a nice guy and that I had enjoyed meeting him, though I didn't think that we were suited for each other. I hated to use the old cliche, but I told him I hoped we could remain as friends, which I sincerely do.

He hasn't responded to the email, which is of course his right. I did and still do feel badly, and seeing the yellow roses he gave me certainly added to that.

But I am glad that I told him I wasn't interested before he got too carried away with imagining our future.

I heard from Techie on Thursday. He emailed me to say that he was sorry he hadn't been in touch sooner, because his work week had been hectic. He also said that he had won tickets to a show for Friday and wanted to know if I wanted to go with him, since he had enjoyed my company. Given the short notice, I had to decline since I already had plans.

Over the weekend I've been emailing with a few other potentials. We'll see how those shape up.

I'm still glad I'm doing this, but I realize now that it requires a big investment of my time.

But I guess I can't expect my next love interest to show up at my door, though that did happen to Vixen once.
