Online and NYC dating blues...

So after some persuasion from a couple of coworkers, I decided to join Match. Primarily because they let you search profiles for free and this British guy caught my eye. He didn't respond to me for a month and when he finally did he was very impressed with me. We meet, and dated for a total of 2 weeks. On Thursday night I drunk-dialed him and we met up at a bar my friend was having a date at. This is where he gave me the "You're so amazing that I never want to see you again speech". Granted, this is never a speech, it's always been a procedure where the guy just drops off the face of the earth after being seemingly entranced by you.

Seriously, what.the.fuck.

I wasn't in love with the guy. But this is not the first time this type of shit has happened. It's totally confusing! Why do guys do this? They love to flirt with the idea of being completely engrossed by someone or a feeling and then remove themselves from it only to do it again temporarily with someone else? We usually never even have sex either. So what gives? Is this emotional no-strings attached sex? This is the one thing guys cannot do on their own, unlike masturbation. So they latch on to a girl for a couple of weeks and feel whatever feelings as intensely as possible and then combust.

Kristin and I were talking about the awful dating scene in this city and realize that being 25 and much more emotionally mature than our male counterparts, we've already started dating men 10 yrs our senior. Much to our disappointment, even these men are too emotionally immature and confused still. So now that leaves us with the 40 yr olds? 20something women have to resort to 40somethings in this city! How insane is that?

Kristin and I want to start dating like men. Fuck 'em and run. Emotionally fuck 'em and run faster. I'm going to see how this will work out.
