You couldn't make this up...

So my relationship with a certain old man ended at the end of June. I had another month left on my match subscription so I decided to see if there was anyone interesting before it ended. Two guys piqued my interest. One was this kid we'll call A and the other was a 42 year old guy. I wanted to see if I had a thing for 42 year olds or if it was just the one 42 year old I liked (and it didn't work out). So I went out with A on August 9th. We met in the E Village for margaritas. He was nice, but there wasn’t a real spark. We e-mailed each other, made plans to hang out a week later, but then I canceled on him b/c we were supposed to meet the Monday after my staycation and I wasn’t really in the mood. He e-mailed me, text me and then sent another e-mail at like 4:30 in the morning going on and on without me having responded to his first e-mail or text. That turned me off, but my friend in Boston and M.B. thought it was sweet and maybe I should give it another try. So against my better judgement I e-mailed him a few days later apologizing for being MIA and suggested meeting up this week. He said yes and sent me this long e-mail, which I didn’t respond to. I didn't not respond to be mean, but I just didn’t feel like it. So this past Sunday he sent me a text asking if I wanted to get sangria later that night. I said I couldn’t and felt bad so suggested this Thursday. Then yesterday work people were talking about playing softball against other bank people on Thursday in central park and I decided I’d rather do that. I canceled on him again and just listen to what he did:

Text from A at 2:48 pm: The more we reschedule the more I’m determined to meet. It’s become a challenge of sorts! Haha. Ok what do you suggest? Later in the fall ;)? Haha (BTW I hate his use of haha and emoticons!)

Text from A at 3:04 pm: No suggestions? Well U definitely made a great first impression and I wanted to give u the benefit of the doubt but I know what’s up now. Good luck out there J

E-mail at3:25 pm: Lauren, Dude what is up with you man? Like seriously is this like a Libra indecisiveness thing? I’m not asking for anything except to perhaps meet up for 1 drink-that’s it! Haha. I mean are you really that busy? I know medical residents that aren’t this busy. So I figured you don’t want to tmeet me again. But then why even reply back-to be nice?! Lauren, I’m 32.5 years old. I can take it ;) haha Later boo, A p.s. I can’t believe I’m writing this?!

Text at 3:26 pm: Girl u must be crazy…I kinda’ dig it ;) haha Have a good week/weekend!

Text from Me at 4:22 pm: I just got out of a meeting and got your text messages/e-mails. Good luck to you.

Text from A at 4:27 pm: Oh man. I’m sorry I was just really looking forward to Thursday. Please forgive me? I just get very impatient with this stuff…

Text from A at 4:28 pm: Look how about this if we could meet in a couple of weeks? I’ve never done that before but I’ll wait. I really think you’re a good person. Hence my persistence.

E-mail from A at 5:07 pm: Hey Lauren, If you could just sort of see things from my perspective. I was just getting a bit frustrated. I wouldn’t write to you if I didn’t care at all. I do and I’m fascinated to know more about you but…you must have something going on in your work/personal life right now. I shouldn’t be upset with you. If there is any chance you’d want to try again, I’m game. It’s the “aries” in me. We can be like this at times ;) haha Talk soon, A

Left core fusion class with L.S. at 7:45 and had 2 missed calls and 2 voicemails.

Can you even believe it? we had one date!
