Are men psychic? It's like they know when a woman has moved on, has put him out of her mind and abandoned any thought of expending additional energy in the situation.
Tonight, as I was preparing dinner and thinking about tomorrow's date with Casey, my phone started vibrating. A new text... from Mr. MIA Ryan (the text message king). Apparently he's back in town and curious what I'm up to this week. Unfortunately for him, I'm very busy - I have my date with Casey tomorrow and I have friends coming over on Thursday night. Friday night will be a quiet night at home (so I can be in tip-top shape for my favorite workout on Saturday morning). Saturday night - maybe if we're both out Ryan and I could meet up... And next week before I go to London for a week I may have a date with Brian or Jack (still need to tell you about him). I'm still interested in getting together with Ryan, but not at the cost of sacrificing anything significant (or time with a guy who has been much more responsive). I mean, he's never actually CALLED me and I haven't heard anything from him since New Year's Day. I'll text him back and suggest we get together after I'm back from London later this month, or that we can maybe meet up this weekend.
I need to call Casey tonight to finalize the plans for our date tomorrow night. I think I'll pick the dive bar/mexican restaurant near my office that he mentioned that he likes. I'm nervous to call him.
As for this Jack character, I'm not so sure about him, but we've been communicating through the site for what seems like awhile and he asked about meeting for a drink in his email on Saturday. He's a 6'1 engineer (same age as me) who lives in one of the suburbs. He's said several things that have led me to conclude that he might be really shy - that could be the drawback. I'd like to date someone a bit more outgoing. But we'll see - I'm keeping an open mind. I emailed him back today and suggested a few days that work for me.
Lastly, no response yet from Brian (the friend of the sleazy coworker). I hope that he writes me back soon; all the dates that I suggested we meet up are more or less filled up! And I want to hit the gym a few times before spending a week eating and drinking (and not working out) in London.
A wise friend of mine (who is now happily coupled up - yay DD!!) told me that in her experience finding a great guy is a numbers game. Reading back through this post, it appears I'm getting on board with that mentality and upping my odds!! It's raining men!!

Good lord child! I think I'm going to have to pass off the 'Dating Machine' torch to you! I can barely keep track of all of your men (especially matching their pseudonyms & real names). So excited for you! How'd the phone call to Casey go last night to finalize details of tonight's date? And what did you decide to do about Ryan & Brian? If Ryan's wanting to get together and you don't hear from Brian by today, I'd give the date to Ryan. At least you've met Ryan in person (even if it was only 5 minutes) & talked to him via text msgs a couple of times-- you haven't met or communicated with Brian other than your email on which you're still waiting for his response, correct? I'd give preference to the guy that you've met before and know you're at least *somewhat* interested in. But that's just my $0.02. Do with it what you'd like. :)
As far as the Brian & Ryan debate, I agree with J. You know there's attraction to Ryan. Brian's reference isn't that good anyway. Can't wait to hear about the date with Casey!
