I Ain't Got Time For This!
Remnants of a pathetic dating life, the latest sad tale: I got a message on Myspace (yeah, I know) from a fellow expressing interest. I checked out his profile and he seemed like a new version of my ex-boyfriend, which is why I will now call him Joe 2.0. Except it's more like buggy Joe 1.2 BETA. He was similar to my ex but as I began to talk to him, I saw he was missing a few key components, namely charm of any kind and ability to hold a conversation without asking obvious questions (one of my biggest dating peeves, do not ask me what I like to do for fun, you insipid dumb ass!)
So, we started talking on IM and things were okay. It wasn't that terrible. He was a writer and I liked that. He didn't really seem to Get It (or you know, get me) but some people aren't good on the Internet/over IM. I'm not one to waste too much time with constant Internet communication when I online date (add me to your facebook list after we have sex, plz), so I suggested meeting. On the day that we were supposed to meet, I get an IM from him at 5AM (he sends this while I am asleep/idle) saying it's too soon and he can't do it. Okay, fine. That's fair.
A few days later, he suggests we meet again. I say okay, but he can pick the time & the place. He totally flakes, doesn't contact me and I sent him an email asking exactly what happened and he responds saying that he messaged me but I didn't respond and how he called me and I didn't call him back. Which is all utter bullshit as I'm on Instant Messenger on my Sidekick almost all of the time. Of course, genius doesn't think to send me a message on Myspace or you know, leave a voice mail or a text. And then he says that I was giving him "mixed messages".
Of course, I did not learn and kept talking to him. Working from home can get boring sometimes. What can I say?
And where are we today? He totally flaked on me again, on tentative plans to hang out during the day. I sent him a message on Myspace yesterday asking where to meet and I can see that he read the message but hasn't responded. I'm sure he'll respond tonight about how he tried to send me a message through some magical tubes and somehow I didn't get them.
Anyway, that'll teach me to respond to inquiries sent over Myspace. My next romantic relationship will be born on a more respectable social networking site, like Twitter (add me, please!)

When all else fails…
Do a Myspace post! Here we go, people:
01. what's worse: liars or cheaters?
Oh man. I'm not going touch this one with a ten foot pole. Although I will say this: if you think you'll never do either, you are wrong.
02. is it easier to forgive or forget?
Forgiving is easy. I'm an intuitive person, I can understand WHY people do most things, even if they are fucked up. But forget? NEVER.
03. can girls and guys be just friends?
If one of those people is ugly or thinks the other person is ugly then... yes. If that is not the case, then I believe in the "friend zone" and that there is a window in which something MIGHT happen, but once you cross a certain line, you either go one way.. or you go the other.
04. how do you feel about dating co-workers?
My workplaces to this point have been 95% middle aged women, 4% hella gay dudes, and 1% creepy old men who stare at my chest in really obvious ways. So, I would love to have a workplace where this was possible.
