disappointment

Darling Rich:

Well, it's 4AM (my fave time to vent, you know)... and I just realized
that he didn't apologize (profusely), nor did he schedule, refer to,
mention, vaguely, suggest a future time to go *out* again.

Is "I'll try to email you tomorrow" the modern-day equivalent to
"I'll call you.".....??????  I think it is.

All that said, I'm royally pissed off.

Well, what a disappointment.  

I have a feeling I'm going to look back on this particular chapter as
one total disappointment. Funny --- this is not the only "Disappointing
Male" chapter in my 10 plus years of dating hell.

Come to think about it, the "disappointing male" chapter is so generic...
the plot is pretty predictable.

INSERT MALE NAME HERE: (Typically I go for 4 letter guys -- Ryan, Greg,
Will..... Rich)

A)  Guy asks me out (we met either via mutual friends, club, work....
    or in this particular case - concert)
B)  First date is an absolute ball.
C)  email and phone conversations abound
D)  Second date is even more of a ball.... he's smitten.
E)  Third date..... amazing fun
F)  (Insert any number of dates here from the range 4 - 400)
G)  Sometime between (F) and (H) he freaks out.. he becomes the "disappointing male"
H)  PERPETUATED MYTH BECOMES REALITY: A really  nice relationship with a guy

I'm tired and I'm pissed (did I mention that before?)....

I don't cling and I don't pressure and I'm so much fun that no guy (and
I mean no guy) can deny all that...  and who does he think he is anyway??

(Self-righteous anger sounds so..... deliciously dramatic at 4AM)

That which doesn't kill us supposedly makes us stronger.
In that case, I think I'm entering the Miss Universe pageant
this year.  

Want to feel my muscles?

I love you, very dearly. Night/morning,
