Mixed Emotions

I have to say the Husband Hunt is feeling like a roller coaster ride right now. I never seem to know when I'm going to be in for the next big rise or fall.

Over the past 24 hours I have experienced a fairly decent high, followed by a rather steep low. I guess that's what they call dating.

Macka finally asked me out. However, he asked me out last night and I had a work dinner. I tried to compromise and do both. This ended up being a bad move and left Macka offering up the comment 'I just thought you sounded so busy I decided to leave you to it'. Ouch.

So no date then. And a bit of stroppiness to boot.

Whilst at dinner I took some love life advice from a male companion. His 2 cents is that Macka really likes me but Macka is totally unsure of himself right now, having entered the dating scene for the first time in many, many years. And that perhaps I should be giving him some more straight forward signs that I am interested. His opinion, the guy wouldn't have a clue what he is doing and the fact he said he was "dreaming" about me was more than enough to convince him that Macka is smitten.

I tried this angle, and took his advice. Hence the low. I'm not sure it got me anywhere. I actually wrote an email this morning, told him I wanted to see him and suggested tonight OR tomorrow night just to make it easy to say yes. However, Macka it seems is working late both nights (or is he going on other rsvp dates?!). He did say we should hook up again soon....but back to not knowing when. Why can't he just name a date?

I'm still hopeful Macka will come good but I'm not convinced. Men - can't live with them, can't live without them. I swear, I am sooooo much more together when I'm single. I mean is the husband hunt really worth it? It seems I am getting nowhere with work this week, I am far too preoccupied. Clearly I need to grow up, feel like a teenager with all this Macka obsessing.

So I am trying to concentrate on some alternative prospects. Irish is in frequent contact. He has just been on the IM reminding me that he owes me a dinner date. This shall be taking place on his return - so probably in about 10 days.

Mr Intellect has written back and given me the nod. Decided to send him my mobile number today. Clearly I am free tonight and tomorrow night!

New on the scene, the blind date / set up has been writing to me via facebook. Seems a nice guy. Not sure he is my type but I'm happy to engage in the banter and see what happens. Biggish problem though, he lives in Brisbane, which is even further than Oatley. Think I shall christen him Vegas.
