Well, well, well. You probably read my update to the entry yesterday about finally hearing from him. (via text). I probably should have waited to see how the conversation unfolded before I updated. He did call. And he did start profusely apologizing and gave me the following story for why he disappeared:
Apparently he took his phone to the gym with him Sunday afternoon and had it on the treadmill. It fell off, bounced around, and the completely broke/screen shattered/blah blah blah. Since it's his 'personal' cell phone, he doesn't have the contacts in it linked to a computer, etc. He had insurance but that meant filing a claim and waiting for the phone to be shipped. In the meantime, he couldn't access phone numbers, text, etc etc etc. He got the new phone yesterday and was able to retrieve all his contacts (via some card..who the hell knows). So that's his story and he's sticking to it. I offered to show me the insurance claim as proof (whatever).
So the question becomes...should I give him the benefit of the doubt and believe him or run for the hills? My head tells me to run (as all of you are probably screaming right now). My heart tells me give him one more shot (3 strikes and you're out). There is just so much about him I like. He has a wonderful combination of qualities that are so hard to find (trust me, I've been on enough dates to know a good one when I see one and to know how hard is to find all these great qualities in one package so the speak). That's why I'm siding with my heart (yell at me now...get it out of the way). I might just be glutting for punishment and disappointment, but that's on me. Totally my fault..I know I'm setting myself up for a let down but I think the benefits outweigh the risks. What's the harm in going on one more date with him (at least I get a nice dinner and some good wine). And trust me, he'll be berated with a lot of tough questions. I need to figure out quickly if we truly are looking for the same thing.
