Why?? Please Explain...

So, I have been talking to the assistant principal for a couple of weeks. He is very funny, personable, and witty. According to his pictures, he's also funny...He is on Christmas break so he wanted to meet up. I told him that Monday would work for me b/c its very busy at work for me. He said that would be great and he would get back with me about a time and place...that was last Friday...haven't heard a peep from him since. NOTHING.
What happened?? Everything was going well. See, this is where insecurities come in to play. Did he stop by my store and see me and think, "oh, hell no!"?? Did he meet someone else Did he die?? (OK, that's morbid I know, but c'mon?) So, of course I refuse to call him or text him. I texted him last and he never responded. So, I guess its time to move on. And start over....ugh...no prospects yet, but I am still looking...I guess that this one year of match.com is going to have to be extended...

Desperation or practicality(is that a word?)

I have changed quite a bit of my criteria. I used to think that things like "executive/management positions" or "has to like beer" or even "wants to worship the ground I walk on" were of extreme importance. But as I get older I realize that I simply want a good guy. Here is an ideal list of what I would like in a man:
*Patience--I can be a bit much to handle so, this is a must have
*Sense of humor--gotta make me laugh
*Good looking--OK, so I may get some flack for this one, but good looking to me is very different than someone else's taste...
*GOT A JOB--this is a non negotiable
*Doesn't live with their mother, grandmother, uncles, aunts...--you get the idea
*Loves family--I am way too close to mine to be with someone who doesn't understand the importance of them in my life
*Wants kids--now this one I go back and forth on b/c I am not 100% sure I want them, so I may need someone to convince me
*Is kind--I think that kindness is the greatest quality anyone can have.
*Has faith--any kind really. Just has to believe in something.

Now, that's not asking too much is it??

Been a long time...where you been?

Alright, yes it has been a while. After months of self loathing, trying to forget about match.com, and even acting as though I really enjoy the single life(ugh!), I am back!
Let's jump right in:

How is it that almost EVERY man is athletic, toned, and loves the outdoors?? If you are as hot as your pictures then why are you even single?? I mean, my goodness. I had a guy ask me out for a first date and I was super excited. He was cute, blonde, and yummy...Then he opens his mouth and asks if I want to go...ready? A 5 MILE BIKE RIDE. OK, so I may have put that bike riding was a hobby. But seriously, a first date? Even you athletic ladies have to admit that's a bit lame. Who wants to see a girl all sweaty and gross on the first date? Doesn't even make sense to me. Oh, well. On to the other man. A high school principal. Not quite sure why that is so cool to me, but I am digging it. We just exchanged numbers and I will definitely keep things updated...
