Yawn!

I suppose that being single can't be all fun and games but it should be a bit more interesting than this!  I will say that I have been uber productive while this everlasting dry spell has been going on.  So much to do, so little time. 

For a couple of months (three tops), I was texting back and forth with someone I had done some work with.  We have not met face to face and I was completely honest that for several months, that would be how my life works.   So, we just kept texting.  He let it be known that he had fallen hard and I couldn't return the sentiment and feel okay inside.  I like him, but without meeting and taking things slow, I can't say I have fallen for anyone.  On top of which, he was jealous even over texting (I am not a fan of jealousy) and he was very negative toward my religion.  I don't care if someone doesn't believe as I do but be kind and respectful.  I don't care how others believe if it isn't hurting me!

All of a sudden, no word from this "friend".  I don't understand people.  If someone falls "so hard" for you, then where are they?  Shouldn't they still be there for you or with you in whatever way possible.  No, I didn't expect him to wait around forever but he gave me the classic line that we would always be friends.  And I am just a slow learner because I believed him!  Awesome!  I know that not everyone stays in your life forever, or even for long but people need to watch what they say.  Say what you mean, mean what you say!  Don't say you have fallen if you are ready to bail any second. 

On a lighter note, there is someone in my life who has a relationship that is constantly like a shampoo bottle instructions:  "shampoo, rinse, repeat"!  Their label would read "get together, fight, make up, repeat".  In this particular case there are children involved so I am perplexed.  I suppose to each his own but that trap of breaking up and getting back together again is not something I have enjoyed in previous relationships nor do I want to repeat it. 

Raining Men - Kinda

Some believe that things happen in threes.  Who knows?  And here is hoping that they happen more often.

First, I'm at WalMart early one morning and a man asks me out.  He mentioned dinner and a movie and I said "no thank you".  I don't know why, suppose it was habit.  And it could have been that although he was very nice and fun to talk to, I wasn't really attracted to him physically.  I know that isn't everything, but it is something.  I ended up giving him my number.  That was a week ago, no phone call.  Not a good thing but then again, I was gonna have to say no to him so perhaps I got off the hook easily.

Second, I finally broke down and hired a handyman to come do some things for me around the house that I couldn't do for Moi!  The normal handyman was not available but sent his very friendly right hand man instead.  And he came with a wonderful dog.  But even though he is somewhat charming, single, employed and obviously handy, there was not any physical attraction.  What I can say is that he wears Dickies brand pants like Mike Rowe - but he is not Mike Rowe.  :)  All women know what I mean!

Third, the sprinkler man came over.  He doubles as a masseur.  You would think that this would be excellent but somehow it doesn't do it for me despite the fact that he is very handsome and fun to talk to.  He is going to help my lawn and rose bushes though, so he gets kudos.

That's it, one week, three men.  And here I sit happy as can be.
