It was great meeting you, but.......

The past few days have been rough~

I've moved from a house to a tiny apartment, my dog has had her butt kicked in a fight and required a vet vist (with money I didn't have) and today I had one of those "thanks it was great, but I just didn't feel the spark" meet and greets.

I'm left feeling depleted financially and emotionally and completely at the bottom of the ego totem pole.

I walked into this coffee date feeling less than glamorous. I had to take my dog to the vet beforehand and traffic was bad, so I didn't have time to change from my casual shorts and tee into something a little nicer. I caught a glimpse of myself in a window earlier in the day and felt fat. So, the groundwork was there for a bad ego day.

I actually thought the conversation went well; we seemed to have a lot in common, we laughed and conversed for close to two hours. We parted agreeing to be in touch soon.

Being in touch consisted of an email letting me know that it was great meeting me, but that "spark" just wasn't there.

I know, I know - it's not about me. I've sent that email myself. Either the spark is there or it isn't. It sucks to be on the receiving end, though!

I think I've said this recently, but it deserves repeating - dating really stinks!

That's a shame. People are strange! But as you say, if there's no spark, there's no spark. What's the point in meeting again?

I think dating sucks too. I really think there needs to be some sort of gadget you can wear that gives off signals as to what is going on. Perhaps it can be built into our cellphones.

It would measure our thoughts and tell the other person's cellphone exactly how you felt only you wouldn't be able to hide anything and you wouldn't know what was even being sent to the other person's phone.

Let me give you an example. You are sitting there for 5 minutes and your phone goes off with a message "This guy doesn't like you but is unable to end the conversation." Boom, you could instantly say "Hey I just got a page from a friend, I gotta split" and the guy would willingly agree to let you go.

Or perhaps your phone would go off and say "This guy isn't really that into you but he is down for some good hard fucking with no strings....running bio-scan.....no known STDs detected. That would be an easy decision.

In any event don't fret Julie. Bad days are only around to make the good days feel even gooder. Things will get better. Now go find that other dog and chop it's balls off.

Boo. At least you have one more story to add to your list? (trying to look on the bright side.) Dating sucks. It sucks so hard. It is a painful, irritating, and sometimes crushing experience.

It sucks to get the "No Spark" email, but it like you said, you've sent it before too. At least it wasn't some totally lame cop-out like "well, I really do like you, but I think I'm getting back together with my ex. We decided it right after our date. Uh, yeah. Cuz otherwise you and I would totally be dating right now. But I can't. Cuz I'm getting back with my ex."
