So on the weekend I went out with another girl.  Like most of them she was quite attractive, had a good career and was clearly very smart, but unlike most of the others she was actually interesting to talk to.  As an additional bonus she was quite well off, which isn’t important, but it’s always a nice bonus!  Originally she wanted to do coffee, but that’s boring, so we went out for a drink instead.

It all went well, and we finished up around 10:30pm and went our separate ways.  Apparently she had a training course at 8am the next day (on a Saturday!) which may well have been an excuse, but I’m pretty sure it was legit.  At any rate, it didn’t affect the night, because there was no way this girl was going anywhere other than straight home after drinks anyway.  And that’s fine by me, because I quite liked her, so I didn’t want her to make it too ‘easy’!

I wasn’t 100% sure at the end of the night whether or not there was a second date on the cards, but as we parted ways she made it clear by saying “I’d like to catch up again” to which I said sure that sounds great, then she finished with “well I have your number”.  And that was it, all looked good.  Earlier in the night we had chatted about dating and one of the things she said was most important was just being honest and upfront about whether or not you were interested in the other, so there was no reason to expect she wasn’t being genuine.

The next night I sent her a quick text thanking her for the evening before, and her reply was “Had a good night.  I was a little tired today.  We will have to catch up soon”.  So I text her back and said “Sounds good, I’ll call you Sunday night and maybe we can tee something up.  Hope your Sat night is going well”.  I didn’t receive a response, but I figured I’d just talk to her Sunday as discussed.

I called Sunday night.  Ring ring, ring ring…  No answer, straight to voicemail.  So I left a quick message, told her to call me back when she could.  It’s now Monday night and I’ve heard nothing!

So what’s the deal?  Why say you want to catch up again, on two separate occasions, but then go all silent?  Maybe she’ll get back in contact later, because she definitely seemed genuine, but now that she’s stuffed me around I’ve lost interest in her!  It’s a shame, but that’s the way it goes.

Ah, this internet dating caper, who knows what the girls are thinking!  It’s all good fun though, and who knows who might pop up on there.  The search continues…
