Well...

Here's the latest update... because, as we know, when I get back to seriously being active on Match, I tend to blog obsessively for a few days, and then I quiet down until I get a wink or email from someone I'm actually reciprocally interested in.

1. P.  Haven't heard back at all.  Screw him.  (Figuratively.)  

2. The hot doc.  Also haven't heard back from him, which I think is a little weird.  According to Match, he's been active within the time I've sent the email, but then again, as I've said, it'll say you're online if you most recently checked from your phone's web browser and have simply closed that without changing pages.  But why do I think it's weird?  Because he "favorited" my profile.  So, yeah, I think it odd that if the roles were reversed -- if I got a message from someone I'd "favorited" -- I'd be somewhat happy or at least respond.  Whatever.

3. The hot pilot.  Yet another I haven't heard from.  He's listed as "online now!" but I suspect that's Match being goofy.  Again, I remind you that I'm batting .000 on men whom I've emailed first.

4. I did get an email from another gentleman, who would like to talk.  How I ended up in his matches is quite the mystery; he's looking for someone within 100 miles of where he lives.  Which happens to be NORTH CAROLINA.  I don't know of any map that would put any part of KC within 100 miles of NC.  Frankly, I don't find enough appealing in his profile to take that any further than my one reply of "thank you."  (He emailed to compliment my smile.)

5. I've emailed a couple other guys, one who I'm semi-seriously interested in, another simply because I legitimately found his profile entertaining.  That could be one of those "chemistry developing over time" kind of things, but I doubt it.  I could be wrong, too.

6. I've been "favorited" by another guy.  I have to admit, though... the semi-literate profile combined with the creepy mustache does not make me want to hit the "email him now!" button.

Time for me to be patient once again.  It hasn't even been all of 24 hours since I "officially" ended things with P.  It's not like I'm going to just head on down to the local store and pick up another date for Friday night.  (Or maybe I will... do I need anything at the store?)  Going back to when I first started on Match, I had the three guys I was juggling, which resulted in two mediocre dates, and then I went away for a while.  I heard from a few guys but either I didn't respond or it didn't go anywhere, and I wasn't really out "shopping" on Match until I "met" P.

And in the meantime, I'm once again -- or, I should probably say, I continue to be -- really blessed by my friends.  They have been bolstering my self-esteem like nothing else.  While this isn't the blog where I've discussed my weight loss, to have a friend whose views on body type I trust say that in her opinion I should list myself as "about average" instead of "curvy" or "a few extra pounds" brought more sunshine to my soul than many other things recently.  Matching that up with friends reminding me that I'm a "smart, beautiful woman" among other things just reiterates that I'm worthy of a man who can handle that.

And if this doesn't work out, the nun on the staff at school thinks I'd make a fantastic sister.

Even Bach Had His Mondays - Part 1

For those who may not know, my actual life is that of a classical musician. One of my professors in grad school used to say when things went awry that "even Bach had his Mondays". That was his way of saying that even people who are considered masters of their art form have off days and don't produce their best work. It's been about 3 months since I last blogged, and in that time there have been quite a few Mondays. "Larry" and I decided to be FWB, and that has had more ups and down than a rollercoaster. Granted, a lot of ups. Fundamentally, he is a good guy who doesn't know what the heck he wants out of life and is staring down the barrel of the shotgun known as turning 50. And if we're going to be perfectly honest, he's also a functional alcoholic. Last night I was asked what exactly I meant by that, a "functional alcoholic". I am not opposed to unwinding in the evening with a cocktail or two, or the occasional beer. Sometimes, I o

Two and Done (Late Post)

NOTE: This post was supposed to be posted on November 9. Whoops. Fair warning: I'm pretty blue right now. It seems two and done is the name of the game right now. First there was NDD. Now the Doctor seems to be a two and done. The second date went really well. Then he got sick with a cold and the texting dwindled. And dwindled. I asked him if he was ghosting me, and if he was, to just be upfront about it. "After last night, why do you think I would be ghosting you?" It was a valid point, but didn't explain the behavior. Yesterday I texted him asking to get on his calendar for Tuesday. He thought it might work, said he needed to check his schedule. He was going out of town on Wednesday and hadn't decided if he was leaving "early, early Wednesday morning" or Tuesday evening. Even though we exchanged a few texts, I never really heard back. Today I texted him that I hoped he was feeling better, that I felt his interest in me was waning, if I wa

It's Getting Cloooooser....

...and Leo's getting laaaarrrrger!! Bonus points if you know what movie I just quoted. We are at T minus 44 hours, give or take, until the ball game.  THE ball game.  The one where me, my good friend, her boyfriend, and her son are being joined by P and his son.  "Date" #2, with an audience and offspring. In the meantime, we've continued our usual texting and such.  Sometimes it's been flirty, even "adults only."  Sometimes it's been strictly business, if you will, such as dealing with the logistics of the tickets for Saturday.  And, nothing new, I keep vacillating between convinced he's into me and convinced he's still actively keeping his options open. What I do know is that about 85% of the time when I text him, I get an immediate reply.  I don't know of anyone else who I text where the response rate is that high.  However, relationships are not built on texting alone.  Leave it to my friend to ask me, "You guys have actua
