less than two weeks from zero to two to zero - post 65

since my life serves as comedic relief to those of my more successful friends, it brings me great joy to know how well i fulfill that role!  as one of the least prolific daters in my circle, my continued naïveté in that realm is a reliable source of entertaining stories.


so, this evening at around 2330, i received the following text from the ph.d. pursuing girl:

"I had fun friday too, and I enjoyed our conversations.  I'm afraid, though, that i don't think we're really compatible.  I think it's best to say so now rather than have further dates and possibly be misleading.  I'm sorry if this comes as a surprise, and i wish you the best of luck in the future."

given my preceding posts (she's referenced briefly in 60) 62 & 63 - it's obvious that i was having some mixed feelings about potentially dating this young woman, especially since i'm still really into a^4 (despite her continued absence).


on the bright side, this means i won't have to face the potentiality of ever telling her that an hour or so before our first date i was just wrapping up a little sleepover with another girl and, oh, yeah... we spent the whole morning fooling around as well.  


that's one less totes awkward situation i'll have to face!  (of course, it's also a potentially funny story that will never happen).


i'll be fine, of course.  and, as luck would have it, before my ego has the opportunity to take yet another potential hit:


SUDDENLY, a wild 26y/o appears.....
