At Wait's End

I went ahead and sent a revised version of the e-mail to Sarah under the heading "Sweatin' to the Yogis." Mui clever if I do say so.
I think I read somewhere that bikram yoga's inventor was just some guy too cheap to air condition his studio. "No, no! It's SUPPOSED to be this warm in here!" He insisted to dubious students.

But I understand. Who would not prefer to spend 90 minutes in an overheated room full of sweaty people to enduring my company for that long?

;-)

She wrote back. Something else has come up next Wednesday that makes her unavailable either for dinner with me or for stretching with the sweaters.

The waiting is wearing me out and I don't think it's going to be worth the aggravation.

You know Jack, I think it's time to move on. I know it might not be what you want to hear...or it just might be.
I've been out of the dating pool for a few years now, but you never ever forget the 'tricks of the trade'.
It really sounds like she's reaching for reasons to not go out with you. There is ALWAYS something more important or better to do.
I really don't understand why, though. You're emails come across as quite charming and you don't seem like a psychotic stalker.

You don't seem like a psychotic stalker.

If that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is.

But you're right. I can't wait on this girl forever and I've even taken my first tentative steps in the on-line dating world (as described in some earlier posts) so I'm confident that I'm not overly obsessing over Sarah.

But aren't the toughest nuts to crack some of the tastiest?

"But aren't the toughest nuts to crack some of the tastiest?"

Yeah, sometimes they are. But I've learned that sometimes those nuts can taste really good at first and then become quite bitter. Who likes bitter nuts?

And to boost your confidence a little, I met the man who became The Hubby via online dating. We're fast coming up on our 3rd anniversary. It's not all bad once you weed out the weirdos and kooks.
Just be yourself and you might be surprised.
here's some unsolicited advice: when it comes to the first face to face meeting - be creative. Girls go gaga over unique and creative.
