2001-05-03 - 1:14 p.m. So, one friend told me that this whole thing is about dating, and my issues with it. I told him that's all that's going on in my life - and then realized I really need to get a life. I was sick at home yesterday, and spent the hot NYC day on my bed, sweating away whatever illness I had. Honestly, I think I was just beat from working too hard. And the shit of it is, that because I called in sick, my boss is giving me the "I'm in first grade" cold shoulder. I came in for three hours on Sunday, managed to magically create a focus group in 24 hours (recruit, organize, moderate and debrief), write a presentation for a new biz pitch…I'm out for the first time in 3 months, and I get the cold shoulder. GOD. I know it sucks, I tried to get here, I called in every hour-I did my best. But they don't pay me a salary where I'll haul ass in here when I'm about to faint. So, onto talking about dating, since there's nothing else going on. I emailed the guy I like: All ya gotta do is reply with the number that corresponds with what's going on: 1) You are too busy to even call your mother 2) You are busy, but too busy to be dating 3) You just plum forgot about me (hint: this is not a good number to pick) ___ Now, I'm good at doing this-giving ultimatums of sorts, mainly because I hate being fucked around with (who does?). I have a strong feeling that this guy is going to be straight with me, and not play me around like the "Chets" in my life. And sure enough, he didn't. Gave me the truth - well, I have to assume it is so… He has issues he has to deal with, too busy to call his mother, going on vacation to clean out his cobwebs, etc., etc. So, the next time we may see each other is the week of May 21. Who knows if that'll ever happen. I have a premonition that this is going to be another "Christine dates a guy with commitment issues, realizes by dating her what those issues are, dumps her and marries the next person he dates" relationship. Oh well, he is really cute and funny, so (if we get to this point) I think the sex'll be good….
