Came out of retirement only to be disappointed...again!

I know it's been over a week since you've gotten an update. Work is kicking my ass right now, but I am soooooo not complaining. Due to that, my social life has been non-existent. That and the fact I am having a garage sale this weekend. Ask me if I've done anything to prepare? I think you know the answer!

So...on to what you really came here for: the dating update.

I really haven't been on a date in over a month. It's been a nice break actually but I was ready to get out there and try again. This one seemed worth it (hell, he was 6'4 so he had at least had that going for him...and no penis haircut!). We've been talking for about 10 days, mostly via text and few phone call here and there. On paper, he was fantastic. His pictures...well he looked pretty decent. I had that all-to-familiar feeling that seems to be the norm lately...we hit it off and seem to have a lot of common ground but then you meet and expectations are shattered. And yes, yet again, that happened. I have learned to temper my expectations so I really wasn't surprised. I will tell you, I am not looking for a freaking super model...just a basic attraction would be nice at this point. This one disappointed me though in the sense that he really possess a lot of qualities I am looking for, just nothing for me the in the physical department. He's incredibly intelligent and someone that could definitely keep me challenged mentally and spiritually. The only thing he didn't have was the athletic background and the party gene (not that I am so big partier, but I like to go out and have a good time. He on the other hand sounds like a total home body). I tried to force myself to find a physical attraction during our lunch but I quickly realized it just wasn't gonna happen. He on the other hand has already sent me 4 texts and I left lunch a little over an hour ago. What is with these guys? Have you ever heard of playing hard to get?

I did however gain a new 'theory' on dating. It's the 'bucket' theory and it really applies not just to dating, but to everyone in your life. I'll try to explain it as concise as I can:
There are 3 buckets: emotional, spiritual and physical. You need to find people that fill those buckets and avoid people that drain them. A good friend probably fills 2 of the 3 (and maybe even only one, the just fill it well). A good love 'match' however would be someone who can fill all three. For him, he could fill 2 out of 3 for me. Not going to work. I am putting his own theory to use here. I need to find someone that can fill all 3. You know anyone? I am taking suggestions at this point!

And, I have decided that I am not picky, I am selective! So there!
