Boys Boys Boys

Yesterday was kind of a when it rains it pours kind of day. I spent the day playing golf in Westchester with my favorite guy co-workers (tough life I know). It was actually old man's charity golf outing, which I had agreed to go to before I decided I didn't want him in my life anymore. Thankfully my guest was a tall good-looking guy (at one point during the dinner portion my boss & Will who were across a big round table from us were talking about how "strapping" my guest was). Even old man's friends were asking about my guest and saying how cute he was. I had two run-ins with old man. One was before the noon shotgun. I was coming out of the clubhouse and he was going in. I was friendly and put on a big fake smile. The other encounter was at dinner. I wore a super cute, tight navy dress and my louboutins. I could feel his eyes on me the whole day & night so all in all I think it was a success.

So while on the golf course I was periodically checking e-mail and the young boy I made out with from my Hamptons house e-mailed me. He asked about my weekend in DC and mentioned making plans to reunite the house, but no mention of the two of us hanging out. I don't think I'm going to write back. He probably just wants to hook up again and I'm not interested in another booty call scenario.

Now this next e-mail is going to challenge your memories. Last June (that's 2009, not 2010) Will and I attended an awards ceremony at the Marriott marquis and were seated next to two attractive guys. The one who sat next to me was a lawyer who left the dinner early, but had taken my card. A week after he e-mailed me just saying it was nice to meet me and making small talk. I returned the e-mails in a similar fashion trying to figure out what the point in e-mailing me was. If it was for networking purposes he made no mention of learning what each of us did for our respective companies. I casually suggested getting drinks at some point. I feel like he wrote back, but didn't even acknowledge I had thrown that out there. The last e-mail I believe was from him, but didn't give me anything to respond to so I didn't. Well guess who e-mailed me yesterday? Yes he did! He said "very long time, no talk. are you still in NYC?" I don't understand why now and I'm not sure how to respond. What would you guys say in your response? Why wouldn't he have asked to get together last year? Anyway I'm not going to rush to respond. Also our old bankofamerica e-mail addresses are going to expire in a few days so had he e-mailed me in 2 weeks I never would have gotten it.

Last news on the boy front. After dinner last night a bunch of us went to the bar since dinner was done early and our car wasn't coming until later. There was a cute boy making eye contact with me so at the urging of a co-worker from CT I started a conversation with him. He took my # and text me today. Said it was nice meeting me and asked how I made it back to the city. I wrote back and said the trip back wasn't bad, that I was sore from golf and asked how boston was. He wrote back saying Boston is good except it started raining and said he hoped I was having a nice night!

Someone please explain to me why boys reach out, but don't pull the trigger. What is this behavior all about? I'm confused by it. Tell me what to do!!!
