Subject: The friend zone
Content: I must have lost my mind somewhere!
Met a guy at a speed dating party-never did one of those before. We seemed to click but took our time meeting up to go out. He was taking a summer class (seems way younger than me--got his degree three years ago). About three weeks ago we met up and went out for dinner and just chilling (walking around downtown DC). I did let him know my age (43) just to be honest with him and he seemed OK with it. Since then I get emails with "Hi baby" or other cuteness or a few days go by with nothing. I am beginning to feel like an afterthought. Wrote me late last night telling he had his mom visiting.
OK, I get being a student and getting your life together and all the time that takes. I know you can't make someone love you if they don't (apologies to Bonnie Raitt). Someone told me I should ask him out but I have never had that work out (rejection each time except for my senior prom). I wish I was better at this stuff but my dating history is sporadic. I guess I have hit the friend zone and I actually would be OK with that if I actually know where I stand. I have still gone out with other friends and on other events. I learned to do that the hard way on my last serious relationship.
Thanks for letting me rant. All words of wisdom are welcome, though.
