The Countdown (Part 1)

Now that I have started to weed through these guys I have learned that lots of different things come into play. I met the Russian guy who works in web development on Thursday evening. He was perfectly nice, and was really easy to talk to. Unfortunately he lied about his height. He said he was 5'6" when he is more like 5'4". I am almost a full head taller than him. Feeling like a giant is not going to bring out my femininity in the least. Lying on an online profile only works until you meet in person. Once you are face to face with someone things like height and weight are totally apparent. I might be okay with a guy calling me "shorty" but I am certainly not okay with going out with a guy who is one himself. He can find a lovely 5'2" female for himself. I am tall. I need a guy at least my own height. That is one down. Today I met another one who is rather tall, but a divorced dad of two girls. We met for lunch, and I think we hit it off, but he was very reserved and kind of nervous so I didn't get too much of a feel for him. While he was perfectly nice, but I didn't feel any major sparks. There will probably be a second date so I can get a better picture of him, but I don't think he is going to really be the one for me. The Israeli is still around, and I do like being around him, but I still feel the need to keep looking. Yesterday I told the guy who I was pretty unsure about that I didn't really think that I felt comfortable meeting him yet. He told me he never wanted to be my boyfriend, and proceeded to close his chat window. That behavior definitely confirmed for me that he is emotionally unbalanced. That guy was certainly not someone who was worthy of my time and energy. Also, out of nowhere yesterday, I had this fantastic online conversation with a totally new guy. He was witty, intelligent, and seemingly amazing. We were supposed to meet last night at midnight, and I gave him my number so we could work out the details. He never called me last night, which was a huge let down. I guess I should say that it was nice to know he wasn't all that he seemed in such a short period of time. A certain part of me, however, was hoping he would be.
