Ugh

This is what frustrates me so much about dating. Soul Patch has said multiple times in emails that he wants to go out again. I'm thinking this is a good thing since our date went really well. He responds favorably and flirtatiously to emails, though I did realize early in the week that he never sends anything unprompted. Hmmm.......

So we go on like this for a week. I email, he responds, we flirt, repeat. After about the third time that he said something along the lines of "can't wait to see you again", I finally said "I'm busy Friday, but how about Saturday?" I have gotten no response whatsoever. Not a text, not an email, and certainly not a call. I refuse to chase him. If he isn't going to email/call/text/make some kind of freakin' contact at this stage in the game, I can't see it getting better! I've been through this before, and I'm not going through it again.

Some disagree with that hypothesis. I have heard that after a guy is REALLY into you, they call more. I can see it happening, though I haven't experienced it first hand.

So Soul Patch is on hold at best and kicked to the curb at worst. I'm not contacting him again unless he contacts me, which I doubt he will. Ugh. I was pretty excited about him.
