So "Rescue Me guy" and I had been trying to connect for about 3 weeks to at least talk on the phone. I was really happy that I didn't hear from him this past weekend since I was really interested in meeting "CMU guy". I consider this a missed match since we never really got a chance to talk or meet. There have been a couple voicemails and text messages, but no substantial conversation.
Yesterday I was hanging out with some friends when I received a text message from "Rescue Me guy". He apologize for not calling and told me that he started seeing someone. He wanted to let me know because he said that I seemed to be really nice and he didn't want to lead me on. I was so relieved! Because I was dreading telling him that after all these weeks of trying to talk on the phone that I had just met someone that I was really interested in. That was really nice of "Rescue Me guy" to be honest and eliminate some stress from my life. He seemed to be a pretty nice guy and that confirms to me that he is because he could have been like the first guy I met and just disappeared. We both wished each other well with our new people. It was definitely a positive experience. Contrary to popular belief among women - nice guys really do exist. I guess sometimes it's just that the timing is off.
The disappearing thing is just annoying. My one friend actually refers to the act of a guy who cuts off all communication as "abduction by aliens". It's definitely appropriate! Because they disappear, never to be seen again. IF you're lucky.
So, dating etiquette (online or off) is to always make sure to let people know that you are off the market.
Now, I must go make a call and send an email.
