What time is it, Mr. Wolf?


haha I love this random image

Yeah, so here’s my update.

I went on that date with Mr. Lawyer from POF. He was nice enough I guess, but I didn’t really feel any attraction. He was totally into me though which was nice. We started off with a drink at one place, moved to dinner at another, then finished with Starbucks before I wanted to head home.

He was polite and offered to pay for everything (I ended up getting free dinner though because there was something wrong with my dish so he didn’t pay, and I offered to pay for Starbucks) and also offered to drive me home, but I declined.

There wasn’t really anything wrong with him per se, other than I think he was just trying too hard to be charming and suave. But that’s a fault everyone has. I also kept thinking about Mr. Wolf and comparing the two, which of course is a bad idea.

So anyway, don’t know what’s happening with Mr. Lawyer. I suppose if he calls me again I might try going out with him to see if he’s a little different. If not, oh well. My friend’s husband said I did all the right things on the date which is reassuring. My major hangup is that I don’t know how to go on a date. So this was a learning experience. I felt almost normal. Weird.

Onto the man with the delicious wolfish grin.

So I called and left him a message on Wed. night letting him know that I’m not working in the industry anymore, and then also following up about the party invitation for tomorrow.

He called me today on his lunch (waking me up from a daydream about him, funny enough!) and we talked about why I left my job and my plans, etc. blah blah blah.

Then I turned it to more personal topics and he told me he couldn’t come to the party. He had a decent excuse but I’m still bummed. I should have expected it though, things have never worked out for me before, why should they now?

He said he still wanted to share food photos and descriptions with me, but when I suggested we also check out some resto’s and stuff too, he didn’t seem too into that. I don’t feel that I was coming on too strongly or anything. If he wants to be friends or bond over this food stuff or whatever, I am treating him the same as if he was one of my gal pals with the same interests. Why is getting all weird over that?

I told him I thought he was interesting at some point in the conversation and he said thanks but the convo sort of fell flat. I wish I remembered more details for you all! Anyway I told him to give me a call if he wanted to hang out, and that I would re-send him the recipe & photo he wanted to see. He mumbled something about being really busy, or lack of time or whatever. Wahh wahh. Rejection! Way to make me feel important, bro…

So that’s it. I guess yet another crush has fallen flat, and I have once again found myself in the friend category. I just don’t get it! I have tits! I’m a model! Why don’t guys want to date me?

I even called my brother to ask him his opinion on this. He thinks that Mr. Wolf either a) just wants to be friends, b) is really shy but still possibly likes me or c) still might be closet-gay. This doesn’t really help me.

Bah! Can someone please find me a good man in Toronto????

  1. Yep. Wolf was just there for the business side of it. (Or gay?!)
    But you still *maybe* have the lawyer dude. And now that you have your first PoF guy, it'll be easier the next time!

  2. I’d drop Wolf like a hot potato at this point.

    Based on experience sometimes you have to give someone more than one date to give them a fair chance. Don’t rule out the Lawyer yet. If he asks you out again, I would go. Someone who is really into you is a good thing. He might have been a bit ‘overly suave’ because he was nervous. There are guys that I rejected in the past for reasons like that and, looking back, they were perfectly fine and I should have given them more of a chance.

  3. Rawr. That's a shame about Mr. Wolf, but try not to get too defeatist over it. Thinking "nothing every works out so it never will" gets your brain all twisty and might start tripping you up. I'd see about Mr. Lawyer, though. If he's into you and you like him, even a bit, give him a second shot to see if it was just nerves that made things a little awkward. You said yourself that you're not sure how to date – maybe he isn't either. If you guys can both relax, I'm betting you'll have a good time together.

  4. Let's face it, you really didn't give lawyer boy a chance since you really wanted to bag Mr. Wolf. You said so yourself. I agree with the other two, go back out with the lawyer, (if he calls) but go with the attitude that it'll be a fun time, no plans beyond those couple of hours. Until you get some experience dating, that's how I think you should approach all your "encounters". It takes the pressure off with no expections. You are young and believe it not you've got a lot of time. Plus, you've got a lot of dating to make up for. Don't be too quick to "find" the one. Test driving is a blast too.
