So I was tempted to delete the entire last post but seeing as I am a social experiment for those of you living vicariously through my dating experiences, I would not want to deprive you of any strange gaps in the story.
I will not be seeing either man any time soon. The one I talked all night on the phone to (twice) has disappeared. Not returning my texts but very much alive as I spotted him on NZ Dating several times throughout the day no doubt looking for someone else...
Why is it that women generally give a reason and make sure the other person knows we're not interested (in a nice, kind way) and men just stop contacting? Is it because they are cowards and it is the easy way out for them? Or is it because they lack the same empathy and concern that women generally have to know what that might be like for the other person? Some kind of explanation would have been nice. However in my mind I have decided on a few options:
a) he has found someone "more appealing"
b) he has discovered something about me in our conversation that doesn't suit him
c) he really is an overweight, smelly, older man that lives in a 1bdm basement flat and doesn't wash very often or put out the rubbish on a regular basis and has entirely invented this "other persona" to better fulfill his life
I guess I'll never know...
As for the other date I was meant to have this week, he seemed to never be free when I was and he's suggested we get together after Christmas. Problem is I have my son on his holidays from daycare for weeks on end without much of a break so that will be very hard to achieve. So goes the difficulty of dating when you are a single mother to a young child.
Well Merry Christmas to all you readers out there... especially those of you that are single. May it be the kind of day that is filled with the people that love you. And here's to a New Year full of love and possibilities.

P.S. Thank you to the person who changed their vote to believing that I will probably find someone after 54 dates. 54 dates!!!! I don't blame you... I feel like changing my vote too.
