Is it the simplicity of the task that confused you...

Well, another long day at work and yet I still managed to find another reason that you can never count on a man before he is hatched.  Two days ago I went out on a date with a guy that I met through a less than reputable gay website (more on that website later).  And I called him last night, just like he asked me to when we parted ways at the end of our date.  He picks up says hey asks me whats up and then tells me that he need to call me right back.  Ok, no problem...except that he didn't call be back that night or the next morning.  All I get is a text from him when I got to work at 2pm that reads,
"Sorry I didn't call you back but my phone died and I was F**king tired.  So sorry."
Needless to say I haven't responded yet, nor am I sure that I want to.  The problem is that he is soooo my type looks and all.  Just to get an idea of what a hot mess it turned out to be here is the back story:

I met up with him after work on Thursday and we went to get something to eat and out for a drink after.  Well the date turned out to be a little much for so very many reasons:
1. He is a gay nerd that is getting his beautician's license while working part time at an electronics store
2. He doesn't like most gay men and claims that he never hooks up...insert Kelly Clarkson song here.
3. He doesn't like gay men that act too gay...strange that you never hear women complain that straight men act too straight.  And for that matter how does a gay man act too gay?
4. He tells me that being boyfriends after two weeks isn't too soon....apparently there he isn't against gay men that act like lesbians.
5. He then tells me that he is actually going to school to become a cop and that the hair thing is just something to fall back on...and that he is also collecting unemployment because the hair salon pays him under the table and he only works one day a week at the electronics store.
6.And best of all, he tells me that he has a hitting problem...(wow I just realized how bad this all sounds now that it is in front of me.)

And yes after all that I was still crazy/stupid enough to go out with him again...but once I added unable to call me back somehow that was the deal breaker.  Perhaps I have a couple of issues of my own and for future reference I will be referring to him as haircop.
I sure that some of you are wondering about the guy in DC that I'm supposed to be dating.  Well lets just say that monthly visits are not enough to keep my bed warm and a year might be too long to wait.

Saturday night and no calls...

Well, its another saturday night and I find myself in front of my computer yet again. Somehow I seem to think that a date with my lap top will somehow lead to a social life. I'm sure that you are wondering how I could make that kind of a mistake...perhaps I should go back a little bit to explain.

I moved to this city two years ago, as a culmination of one of my biggest dreams. Living here for the last two years however have proven to be quite different than I had imagined/hoped. So far I have a room mate that I get on with quite well and one friend that I have managed to make on my own. I do have several other "friends" however they belong to my roomie most of the time. As for a love life, I have been seeing a guy for about four and 1/2 months. However he is currently in DC, where he will be working and living for the next year. I will be lucky to see him even once a month and don't know that I will make it until he comes home. To complete the trifecta I happen to work for a large chain retailer in Manhattan as a manager. Lets just say that its above the Gap but wishes it could be Ralph Lauren...but it still manages to suck up a large portion of my time.

Now that I have set the stage for my less than stunning life, I'm going to try through the coarse of this blog to turn all that around. The goal being to change these things in a significant way before I end up like the Peggy Lee song "Is That All There Is?".
