One of my most fundamental dating mantras is every guy deserves A chance. Sometimes however, I am slightly too giving with my chances.
Case in point: Buddy the Elf.
(names have been changed to protect the innocent. But Sweetie, curly unkept mops aren't cool past 4th grade)
Date 1: brunch on Sunday. Causes me to miss church, which he obviously didn't even think about. AND my Rate A Date worksheet (thanks Hannah!) says high tail it outta there!
Date 2: pleads sickness an hour before. Buddy, I really do feel sorry for you, but drink some of your maple syrup and suck it up!
Date 2 rescheduled: actually fun! However, I obviously still have coodies, please stay 5 feet away at all times.
Date 3: can't remember? But I think it involved an argument about the corporate culture of Sams Club and trading gains. (seriously, you make toys for girls and boys, are you really going to argue with ME about hedging?)
Date 4: pleads sickness yet again. However, this time it was 5pm on New Years Eve. No I didn't make other plans...I thought I was going out with YOU!
Date 5: by this point, I just need to hang in there ...one ...more ...week. Dog sitting is needed during my work trip, thank you!
Thankfully, now Penny and Grey Lady are seasoned enough city kids to use the doggie door whilst I am out of town, so dog sitting is not needed. However, it did get me thinking...if I give so many second chances to guys who don't deserve them, do I deny second chances to the ones that do?
loved it. :)
