Dating Ups and Downs

Okay--I know I said I wouldn't focus on guys too much this year, but right now there is much to report.

I heard back from J1 today. He told me that he didn't feel that there was any chemistry between us. Kind of disappointed because I enjoyed talking with him, but in lieu of recent events, I don't think that I was really all that physically attracted to him anyway. However, rejection still kind of stings. And what is it with guys and the "spark/chemistry" comment lately?

I didn't even e-mail J2 to thank him--bad, I know, but I just couldn't bring myself to.

Then there is T--a guy I ended up meeting on Friday night (the infamous SushiSamba night). He had asked me for my phone number, and surprisingly called me yesterday. We have dinner plans on Wednesday. It'll be nice to talk to him without having a few glasses of wine under my belt.

And finally, there is P. We met for drinks last night and had a great time talking. So great, in fact, that we ended up making plans to meet for brunch and go ice skating today. When I woke up this morning, however, it was pouring rain. P called and asked if I still wanted to meet up. I said yes, so he said he'd come up with something else for us to do after brunch. We met at a little diner in my neighborhood and then spent the afternoon wandering around the Art Institute--very cool. He also walked me home and gave me a kiss on my front doorstep. He is really nice, so I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed and hope I get a chance to continue to get to know him.

After this week, though, I think I'm worn out on Match.com. I think I'll keep my profile up for another week or so and then take it down. Maybe I've just gotten my fair share of dates for the moment and need to take a break.

Seriously--I'm exhausted!
