I SO thought of you the other night...my ex called wanting to take the kids and I for dinner--kids started arguing over where to eat so he said forget it if they can't decide where to eat. yeah, so that's a good reason to bail on a plan? sheesh
Too bad he didn't show for the other game. I hate it when their flakiness hurts the kids.
Guess I am in good company, I have removed 2300 profiles from match! Some say I am picky, I say if I see something or read something that turns me off, you are gone. Why keep looking at profiles of people that I know I don't want to meet?? And I am with you, I like to have the door opened for me, simple acts of courtesy/chivalry. I will offer to pay my half on a first meeting, but if a guy asks me out I do think he should pay the first time. Granted last time I was in the dating pool was the 1990s.
I hear you on the 'in their league' thing, too. When I get a wink or email from a 28 yr old who has never been married, no kids, and he's a good looking/fit guy, I think, Why would he be interested in me? He is probably better off with someone younger who doesn't have kids yet. Guess that is another form of mind reading though...
