Match.com Update

So, I met my first match.com guy on Wednesday. I met V for a drink at a bar a couple blocks from his apartment. I suggested my neighborhood, but he wanted to meet closer to his house. Uhm, okay.

He talked about his abs a few time, which was weird. He actually talked about his abs in an email before I met him. In my match profile, I say something about keeping my New Year resolutions. Well, he told me that his resolution is to run more when he's at the gym, because he just works on his abs a lot. Then when we met, he mentioned his abs a few times - casually thrown into the conversation.

He seems like a nice guy - works in finance. Lives close to me. But he definitely thinks I'm crazy. See ... We had made plans to go to dinner tonight, but no time or place and no confirmation yesterday or this morning.

Oh, he also tried to get me to go back to his apartment a few times. It was Wednesday night at like 9:45, and he walked me home. He knew I didn't get home until 7:00 that night and had to get up early, and he asked several times if I was sure that I didn't want to see his apartment. He was very complimentary, but maybe he just wants to get laid. Hmm.

Anyway, I was in King of Prussia visiting friends last night, and I spent most of the day today. I hadn't heard from him, so finally around 2, I texted him and asked him how his weekend was. He finally answered around 3 and said something like "it was great, i'm looking forward to a relaxing sunday. how was yours?" I answered ... and didn't get a response. So I finally asked him if we could do dinner another night this week instead of tonight. I wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be great company. He called and we said that maybe Wednesday would work. He texted me about an hour later and that this coming week would not work.

So then I texted him like three times. And he never answered. He definitely thinks I'm nuts. First, I said "Okay, well let me know if your schedule frees up." I should have stopped there, but I felt bad, so I said "If you still want to get together tonight, I might be able to swing dinner at 7. We could go to Royal Tavern by my house." He didn't answer, and I was on the train about a half hour later feeling shitty, so I texted him again and said "Sorry for being so indecisive. I really don't think I'll be very good company tonight, I don't feel well. Why don't you just call me if you have an evening free and want to get together."

He definitely thinks I'm crazy. But thats okay. I'm meeting someone else tomorrow for dinner at Tria.
