Have you noticed the astonishing lack of adult behavior in so-called adults nowadays? Why is that? Is it because society no longer asks adults to BE adults anymore?
I had a date set up the other night, we were suppose to meet for drinks at a nearby bar. It was a guy I met online, 40. We'd been talking back and forth over email and text, seemed to be vibing, I like what he was saying and we seemed to have a lot in common. So I was really looking forward to the date. The last email I get from him says he'll see me around 5:30. I get to the bar around 5:20...6:30 he still hasn't shown.
I was stood up.
But it turns out, I actually had a pretty good evening. I wandered the mall a bit, did my best to really avoid Coach & Michale Kors....Did you know William Sonoma sells Star Wars cookie cutters and cup cake liners? Me either. I ended up getting a slice of cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory and heading home afterwards, beating all that crazy rain we had last night. So after spending so much time to myself, I got to do some thinking. You'd think I'd be pissed off or angry with this joker at being stood up. Hell, I thought I'd be too, but I wasn't.
I was disappointed.
I expected someone that age would be beyond that high school stuff. That he would at least be man enough to show, even if he wasn't physically interested in me, because that's what adults do, cause it's the right and respectable thing to do. But no, it proves yet again that age IS nothing but a number, maturity is all in the mind.
I guess this shows how far I've come in this last year. Any other time I would have been ranting about how much men suck and why is it so hard to find a good one here in DC.....but I'm just shrugging my shoulders at this one. He's just another to add to the pile of broken boys and keep looking for one that actually works, especially for me. I know the further I get past all the wrong guys just means I'm even closer to finding that guy I do belong with.
Just a few more to test out.
