Two updates: we are supposed to have drinks tonight...I sent him a text a minute ago to confirm.

Other update: wyd guy texted me Sunday night at 8:02pm to see if I was available that night, to which I had replied now...and then last night at 11:02pm, I got a text from him again that was "Hey wyd"...to which I didn't even bother responding because I was already in bed. Seriously? He needs to take the hint. I'm not even responding to him anymore. I am curious how many more attempts he'll make. I do think it could be an ongoing random thing I get because he clearly does it when he's just bored.

Another note: I got a message from a new guy through the dating site. I saw he doesn't want kids, while I do. So I responded and thanked him for his compliment but considering he does not want kids and I do, and it's a deal breaker for me, that I'm not interested. He then tried to convince me that we should just "see where it goes..." Um, that's player speak for I just want to use you. And I responded that I'm not going to date someone with the hopes that I can change their mind on something so important to me. And I wished him luck and ended that conversation. I wasn't expecting anything, certainly, just thought that was an interesting interchange to share here. In fact, I only responded to him at all to see how he would respond to the rejection based on that. It was sort of an experiment. I find that people who say "Well, let's see what happens" really have no intent of committing. In my experience, men who say they are looking for new friends and will see if anything comes out of that, usually mean they are looking for a hookup or something short term, FWB, that they don't have to commit to.

I find it interesting that when I'm clear in what I want, and let a guy down by telling him that what he's looking for and what I'm looking for aren't the same thing, and they try to argue with me on it...I'm not looking to fix someone or try and change their mind or expect them to mature into wanting what I want. That's just silly. Why would I waste my time, energy, and emotions on that? Why put yourself through that stress?

Anyone, interesting interchanges for anyone following my dating saga.
