You may possibly keep in mind few weeks back before my personal a€?Mikea€? circumstance gone south quickly (see: From red-hot to ice-cold), I found myself casually chatting with additional guys, one of those were a man named a€?Mark.a€?
a€?Marka€? shows history at an area high school. The guy was raised in Chicago and may seem like an authentic guy. While chatting with him several weeks before, I opt to follow issues with a€?Mikea€? to see the way it happens. We text a€?Marka€? or a€?Mr. History Teachera€? and simply tell him about this various other chap as well as how I wanted to see exactly how factors would progress with your. It absolutely was absolutely nothing against a€?Mr. Records instructor.a€? It had been genuinely all about time. And that I got completely up-front and straightforward regarding the whole ordeal. I am too-old to play games and I’d instead tell the truth for the reason that it is strictly how I want you to definitely treat myself.
Several poor Tinder dates later, a€?Marka€? continues to be on my brain. I do believe straight back throughout the discussions we’d 2-3 weeks ago…they were big. He felt intelligent, motivated, and his eHarmony profile image had been precious. He is an eHarmony man.
We choose bring an opportunity and watch if he’s still curious. Its been at the very least four weeks. I realized there seemed to be no hurt in calling him. That was the worst that may take place? However decline me or perhaps be watching individuals? About I tried. And I also would stop myself for perhaps not attempting therefore I delivered him a note via eHarmony. It study:
8 weeks into my personal online dating sites activities, I could bring in fact found anybody really worth solely dating
a€?Hey! So I see its been a time, but i desired to reach out over you and observe facts had been heading. They didn’t exercise using the man I became a€?seeing where products would go.’ The guy was an entire jerk really so was actually enjoyable. Anyway, i must say i enjoyed speaking with both you and ended up being wondering if maybe you could be enthusiastic about talking once more and/or getting together for coffee or drinks or something? I do not would like you to believe you’re a second selection…it is seriously practically timing. From our talks a couple weeks in the past, you appear to be an extremely fantastic and genuine chap when you’re however interested, let me know ?Y™‚ or even, I entirely comprehend. Expect you are creating a good week!a€?
I felt weird giving a text. eHarmony email felt reliable. I sent that message on a Tuesday night. Wednesday morning, I became off on assignment for jobs. I had a crazy day before myself.
Wednesday day while on location, my telephone dings. Their a€?Mark.a€? I’m surprised but I’m additionally thrilled to read through they. They states:

am happy to hear from you though. I’d absolutely be thinking about chatting or grabbing a glass or two or java along with you quickly!a€?
He is STILL interested! Okay…this might be great! We book backwards and forwards on Wednesday but I’m doing a story in which he is within class. We tell him that I’m off on Thursday and tuesday and then he requires me to lunch on whichever day works more effectively personally. We decide on Monday. We’ve a romantic date.
