3 dates, really?

So Clammy hands called me ... 3 TIMES! First on Wednesday night, he left a voicemail which I didn't listen to. He called again Thursday night, leaving yet another voicemail ... also didn't listen to it. Friday, I get an email from a friend saying Clammy Hands contacted her via FB and asked if she would put in a good word for him. Ugh, seriously? I was really hoping he would get the message by my lack of response that I don't really want to go on a second date with him. Guess not. Well, guilt got the better of me and I called him back. The conversation was awkward small talk and lead into him saying he'd like to see me again and do I have any free time this week. My week is pretty busy, for real, like actually busy, not me making stuff up. I told him I'd get in touch to make plans next week. I'm dreading it. I know protocol for this is a 3 date minimum and I want to win, but I don't know if I have the heart for another date with Clam, let alone 2.

On a more positive note, I was supposed to have date #2 with the engineer this weekend. Unfortunately I had to cancel because I wasn't really feeling up to it. He's a bit busier than me so we will probably have a bit of trouble rescheduling, but I'm okay with that. I'm actually looking forward to date #2.

In light of receiving some new matches and finding that all fell into the "reject" category, I decided to change some of my match criteria. For example, the age range of men I am looking for is no longer 22-35, but 22-30 ... and it is "very important" that my matches have not been married before. Today I had a new match who was 23 and DIVORCED! Is it just me or does anyone else see a problem with that? Anyway, so yeah, hopefully the minor changes will bring in better matches....

P.S. Those of you ladies who are in my area (basically not match girl), we should all go out for valentine's day, get really drunk, and harass any happy couple we see. Think about it.
