Nope. He texted me right after the date--like before I even got home--and was asking about going to a concert with me. He dropped off mid-conversation and never wrote again.

A few days again, I reached out and made a joke about it and he apologized. I suggested we should catch a show and he enthusiastically agreed. We'd even picked a date--the 15th--and even a potential show. He went dark again for days. So I just texted again and said take care and goodbye.

I haven't even written yet about the guy who took my number and then tried to pass me off to his friend like chattel, or the dude with the Very Huge Bald Forehead, or the dreamy one who approached me in a karaoke bar and asked me out, and then after two dates and a romp now hasn't contacted me in four days.

I am very worn out and I don't think I should write about dating anymore. Or date anymore.
