When a girl compromises

When you start reaching a certain and age and you are still a single unmarried woman you can go one of two ways:


(1) you still believe that you are going to get tall dark handsome dream man or else, you will rather stay single and settle on a tabby cat for company

OR

(2) you decide to compromise and take the attitude of so what "he is only 5ft3" or "has bad dandruff" or "is a bit fat" or "picks his nose and eats it" or "he is a street sweeper" or even "so what he has the face only a mother can love", you compromise because you want to find someone who loves you and you want to get (lets say it together girls) "MARRIED".


Well I decided in the New Year to try out option 2, and 13 days into 2011 I am about to break the resolution, and let me tell you why.


I decided to give a rather geeky and might I add ginger man a chance. He had been bugging me for a date since October 2010, and I had been refusing because I thought "he is sooooo not my type". Then at the start of the year, he was still being persistent, so I decided that a New Year, New Start attitude might serve me well in 2011. So when he asked me out yet again, I said yes.


At first he seemed shocked that I finally caved in and with his confidence boosted he started to text me sweet nothings. After some chit chat we arranged to meet for drinks, I thought dinner could easily turn into a longwinded affair, and that just drinks keeps it short and sweet. So I suggested Wednesday evening and he agreed.


I felt happy that I had decided to give him chance. He seemed nice and sometimes love can come blossom with men you never thought you could love. Note: we made the date on Sunday evening.


On Monday, I hear nothing from him and I think nothing of it. Tuesday, still nothing and find that a bit strange considering his enthusiusm before, Wednesday morning I have heard nothing still and wondered whether we were still meeting. 5pm Wednesday evening still not a peep from Mr Enthusiusm. I decide not to call/text him to ask him why he hasnt been in touch, a girl has her pride you know.


So Date Night AKA Wednesday evening comes and goes, and nothing. Now it is Thursday evening and I am still wondering what happened to him. He still hasnt been in touch. After being so persistent for over 3 months to get a date I am quite pissed off (excuse the language) that he is playing deaf and dumb with me.


All I have to say now is that he better be meeting his maker or on his way there, because there really is no other excuse that I am willing to except, especially since i comprised my wants and allowed a nobody the opportunity to ask a somebody for a date.
