Heeled

A few days after Eric and I went caput, I received a text from him. He apologized for…well, for basically being an a-hole. He specifically cited the examples of pushing me to do too much with him when I wasn’t ready and for acting a fool over the field trip thing. He said he really didn’t mind going, and he was just being a jerk by ditching me like that. It was nice to see that he had done some growing up, but he included that he wasn’t looking for me to want him back; he had been doing some thinking and wanted me to know what he realized. So, Eric, A for effort for you at the end there!

I wasn’t sad at all that Eric and I didn’t work out, and I actually felt pretty good. I didn’t waste much time getting back into searching mode, and I soon landed on—umm, how about Will as the replacer name? I landed on Will. He was a 6’6” Alabama native, who actually hasn’t been that exciting to talk to through email or on the phone. His emails seem fairly impersonal and almost like he’s annoyed he has to communicate with me. I kind of feel like it’s pointless to continue talking to him, but there’s actually not that many options right now on the match pages. At least he meets my height requirement? Maybe he’ll be different in person; sometimes people don’t come across correctly, you know, because of that whole screen of pictures and written word thing.

Along with Will, I met another giant. I couldn’t believe it; two guys who were 6’6”! Mack, yeah let’s take a break from those boring names, was well written and was able to communicate his interest a lot better than Will. They both live in Ashburn so I’ve got plans to meet them halfway—at the same restaurant—but don’t worry, on different nights. That might actually be pretty funny, to “accidentally” schedule two dates. Even though Mack seems like a good guy, I feel like I’m going out with them to just go out with them; I don’t foresee any potential. But, on the other hand, if I knew what I was doing before, then maybe I’d have someone by now. It’s just a couple drinks so it’s not a huge time commitment or anything. The dates are scheduled for this week…I guess I can wear a pair of heels.
