Dating Dork

I thought I would take a short break from the Ex’s to provide you with the latest dating disaster. This one didn’t even get out of the gate. It consisted of about three hours of chatting online. I thought he was interesting and worth meeting, which I told him. He never did ask me out or to meet. He tiptoed around, asking if I wanted to meet. In subsequent chat sessions, he said how much he would like to meet, but never suggested a time or day. What is it with some men?
For any men out there, you will never get what you want unless you ask. Suggestions and hints don’t work. It is not up to women to suddenly respond to such interest with providing details of their schedules so that you may pick what works for you. At some point, all the suggestions and admonishments of how beautiful someone is just gets annoying. It doesn’t matter if you’re good looking, intelligent or have the “complete package.”
I suppose this guy was just another of a long line of pussies who needs to grow a pair and ask for what they want. Don’t be the guy in the photo.

I needed to read this like 7 years ago. A girl told me once after a date, “Call me sometime.” I took that to mean she wasn’t that interested; what with ’sometime’ being rather ambiguous. So I never called. I ran into her again a few years later, we chatted briefly and ended with a similar request to eventually calll. I brushed it off at first, figuring I didn’t even have the number. But then I hunted through some old emails. I did. And so I called her. Today, we’re married. Having since discussed that first “sometime”, I learned that it actually did mean sometime and not “never talk to me again you creep.” Ah the little things a dull bloke can learn…
There is though, a bit of a blurred line being a pussy and a total idiot. I’d have to say i was quite a bit of both - riding the fence like a cowboy on a bull. And when I put it like that, it actually makes it sound like I had some balls.
