Blind Date Extraordinaire

After consulting a couple friends, BDE (Blind Date Extraordinaire) is the name we came up with for the guy my BRF set me up with for dinner. BDE and I went out the Monday after our Friday dinner. We were meeting later because we both had to work late, exercise, etc. After trekking around to a couple bars that were closing (it was only 9:30/10), we decided to just go to his house and sit on the porch to have a drink. We had a great time - it was great to sit in a relaxing atmosphere and chat. For the purposes of full disclosure I did not spend the night.

I have been traveling a lot for work so it was difficult for us to find a time to get together. BDE and I had plans to get together the following Sunday night - I was traveling and we both already had plans for Friday and Saturday nights. Friday night, I was out with a couple girlfriends at a Halloween party and received a text from BDE. He had a charity dinner that night and was finished and wanted to meet me out. After debating and consulting a few guys - I didn't want to seem too available - I decided to meet him out. We had another great night - hanging out and chatting. I ended up spending the night with him (and no, I did not sleep with him - everyone has asked). We hung out for a little while that morning and I sported my Halloween costume on the drive and walk of shame home ;)

Saturday night he called to let me know that he was going to have to work on Sunday night but wanted to get together sometime that week. This should have been my first clue. Unfortunately, I was out of town all week so we weren't able to get together. On Wednesday, I sent a text "Do I need to leave any room in my weekend plans for you ;) " Big mistake...I didn't like the reply. Since I was totally pissed about the reply, I deleted that text, all the others and BDE from my call log. Therefore, I can't quote he is response exactly, plus I was a little drunk when I received it, but the gist of it was that he was crazy at work and this wasn't a good time for him to be dating, he didn't really have time but he would like to stay in touch. Let me interpret this - I am not interested but don't have the balls to say so or at least call and say it - don't send it over text!

I emailed BRF the next day to fill her in and she said she doesn't think I have heard the last of him and there may be some truth to his response since both he and I asked her to wait to set us up until work settled down but she set us up anyway. My theory is 1) old fling/girlfriend came back into the picture or 2) he really wasn't that interested.

I changed his name from BDE to BDJ.
