This is kinda fun, I signed up for the eharmony thing and just happened to wind up on the phone with three possible "candidates" today. Now this is my favorite part, before you meet them and you have all the nice high hopes about what they must be like in real life. And then...you meet them and go "oh huh..."

Bacherlor #1...He is a school teacher and union president. The Good: I actual come from a union background myself, we both like politics, and he seems really nice. He looks really cute in his pictures and is a nice 6ft tall. The Bad: Something odd about how he doesn't show his teeth in pictures...bad teeth?

Bacherlor #2...He is a nurse and loves the outdoors. The Good: He loves the outdoors like I do. The Bad: He mentioned how he knows to stay away from girls with fancy long nails. I understand but the way he said it sounded a little up tight, not so easy going. A little too serious.

Bacherlor #3... He is a ER doctor. The Good: Yes, I know, he is a doctor. He sound nice enough. The Bad: He kinda has that aloof professional way of speaking. Know what I mean? Same thing when I dated a lawyer, like how they don't try to engage too much. He looks a little funny in the pictures.

p.s. I know I listed all the job titles first...considering I dated someone for two years with barely a job, this is important to me this time around.

I'm going in with an open mind and an easy going spirit. So wish me luck on this whole dating thing...my first date in two years will be tomorrow with the doctor fella.

I kinda got away from the big toothy grin in pictures because it really just looked fake for me. I don't show teeth unless I'm, you know, actually laughing. My teeth aren't ugly looking or anything, either.

It's actually cheaper to subscribe to a porn site than a dating site these days. Um...or so I've heard.

For me, eHarmony or something similar is probably the best way and the only way for me to meet someone. I usually get teachers or people who work in non-profit settings...

But, of course, go out with all 3!

So I had plans to go out around 8pm with the doctor. At 8:10pm I called him to find out whats up, I get his voice mail, leave a message. At 8:40! he calls me back and leaves a message, "Oh sorry I guess my phone was in the other room. I'm at home. Give me a call or something. Bye" Ugh back in the world of dating. I ignore his voice mail, don't call him back, and go out on the town with my girlfriends. It was a Friday night I don't want to be waiting around for some flaky man, even if he is a doctor. He can't show up 40mins late to work so why should he for a date?

what do you guys think? am I being too harsh? should I give him a call? To his credit I did just say "Give me a call, I'll be free to go out at 8pm." To me that means call me 7pmish and we will meet up at 8pm, but he could have misunderstood.

Speaking as a guy, my interpretation of that would be that you'd be busy up until 8pm, so I'd probably call at 8. Still though, his almost too casual reply makes me say you're not being too harsh. If you want to give him another chance, go ahead, but I'm not sure you necessarily owe him one.
