I was assuming that I wouldn’t hear from Craigslist guy again, ever, but one of my good friends from college, who’s great with reading people and very straight-forward, predicted he’d contact me sometime within the next week.  As it usually turns out, she was right.  Wednesday afternoon I came home from work to find this email:

“Hey, how are you?  I thought you didn’t want to see me.

I lost/misplaced (who knows) my blackberry over the weekend and couldn’t get a new one until yesterday.  Also, lost my contact so i couldnt get in touch with you.

I emailed you a few times and didnt hear back so i thought you just had other plans, etc.  Then again, i emailed a few people about different things and never heard from them either.  Also, having lots of trouble logging in to Hotmail so i dont know if their service is not working or what.

Anyway, i always had a great time with you!  Big picture, i have no idea where its all going.  With that said, i have truly enjoyed all of the time we spent together.  And, its safe to say, we had the best nap ever.”

… um, can anyone say complete bullshit?  First of all, I was offended that he even thought I’d buy the fact that he lost his blackberry AND couldn’t access his email.  Anyways, I forwarded the email to A so she could analyze, and several minutes later she called and just said “100% bullshit.  You need to call him out on this, because he probably does this to women all the time and is used to getting away with it.”  Anyways, after talking a bit more, I asked her to draft an email for me to send, and this is what she came up with:

“I just read your email and I am somehow even more perplexed. I think we both know that you didn’t lose your blackberry over the weekend, and that simultaneously your hotmail was down. I truly enjoyed the time together as well, but if you want to see me again I prefer that you be straight up and tell me what’s going on. If you don’t want to see me…the email and excuses make all the more sense.”

After a couple minutes of hesitation, I pressed send.  A day later, he responded, basically ignoring the second half of my email and instead asking me if I wanted to get together on Tuesday… of course not the weekend, because that’s probably girlfriend/wife/other date time.  I blew him off completely, because  there’s absolutely no point to keep this going on any longer.  We’ll see if he reaches out to me again…

In a more positive light, a guy from work asked if he could walk with me to the train yesterday since we both got off at 5.  He’s cute, 22, however he’s the polar opposite of everything I look for in my romantic endeavors… for one, I don’t believe he attended college, or any additional schooling after high school (does this make me snobby?), he lives in the Bronx with his family, and he alluded to the fact that he gets stoned more often than not (I mean, I enjoy a few hits every now and then, but could never date someone reliant on it daily).  At any rate, the uptown 6 side was closest, but he walked across the street with me to the downtown 6 and kissed me on my cheek.  I’ll admit, it was very New York to walk to the train with someone, and I enjoyed the conversation, but this will go nowhere… hopefully he’ll never get around to asking me on a date.

Alright, I’m off the run the bridle path in Central Park.  The sun is finally out AND the high today is 41!
