Man Update

I’m gaga for someone who lives in LA.

I brought one of my soul mates to dinner with my b-school friends and later on they told me, “You could do better.”  Gulp.  That brought him down several notches in my eyes.
The other soul mate who is in NYC has not returned my email from a week ago.  Frightening.
That loser who unintentionally stood me up is now stalking me.  Even after I shat on him via email.
I’m falling for someone who not only has no job; he’s been unemployed since June.
Someone I went on one date with asked for my address because he wants to mail me a present. Nice touch considering I don’t like him.
One of my former crushes is interested again and wants to take me out.
And lastly, I am still coping with depression over Mr. Unavailable and trying my hardest to extricate him from my mind.

    If you need a place to stay (in west hollywood) to test the waters with the guy in LA (on his own turf)- you are more than welcome to stay with us. Comments on the peanut gallery below.

    1. LA Guy- might want to keep open the possibility. If not only for an excuse to get down to LA
    2. Soul mate 1- you could do better…then they might be right.
    3.NYC soulmate…it takes 5 seconds to text or message. If he’s really in the hospital, then you can’t play nursemaid to somebody across the country.
    4. Loser guy…still a loser.
    5. Unemployed…sometimes it takes a while to find the right job. If he’s ok financially for the time being…maybe its ok. You should be able to tell if he has any ambition or not.
    6. Present guy…don’t accept a present…he just wants some holiday sex…buy yourself something nice.
    7.Former crush…timing is everything. But in regards to behavior, past performance is indicative of future results.
    8. Mr. Unavailable will always be that…take it for what it was.
