Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. But that's with the same person, right? What happens when you find yourself in the same situation but with different people? Say, for instance, I have a date with this guy, who stands me up with no notification of his plans changing prior to the meeting, or calling to let me know after I've been staring at the time for ever. I live, I learn, I move on. Then some time later, I meet a second guy and things are looking good. We've hung out a bit, and then on one particular date, he does a no-show, no-call. Well, I've been there, done that, so I cut my losses and move on (oh, by the way, he's not aware he did anything wrong). Then there's the current guy. He seems sweet, and all that. I'm a really slow mover at this point, and I'm not quite sure I'm even feeling him, but he has quite the supporter's club, so I give it a shot. First time is not bad, second is more relaxed. Third time round, we're to see a movie, and he does a no-show, no-call as well. At this point, I'm rather tickled (and wondering if I have some signage on my forehead, or a secret manual I don't know about). Of course there's a good explanation behind all that (isn't there always?), but then, even supporter's club has lost its voice at this point.
So I went out with this UC guy. Had a pre-meeting late lunch, just to minimalise on the extent of time we could spend together. He actually is alright, I suppose. But I clearly see nothing happening there. So why did I agree to a second date? And why on earth hasn't he left the country yet?? (if he does move around as much as he claims???).
Tomorrow will tell.
