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!
