It happened again…now I’m sure something serious has been going on and I just didn’t notice. I’m usually very observant but all the seemingly random events can’t be a coincidence since the outcome is always the same. How could I have missed all the signs?
The whole issue started a few years ago when my last relationship ended and I started dating again. Things were a bit slow but I always seemed to meet women and managed a date or two. None of them worked out and I never really thought about it until recently….when it happened again!
If you’re a frequent reader then you know I recently met a very nice girl (we’ll call her Delilah) and embarked on yet another foray into the world of dating. Everything seemed to be going well as we shared some laughs and dinner but then it happened…she disappeared!
Was she abducted by aliens? Did she volunteer to be the “audience participant” in a magic show gone wrong? Oh no….maybe it was a serious accident resulting in 10 broken fingers so she couldn’t call back? I like to think she was forced to join the witness protection program…knowing she’d love to call me to say good-bye but can’t for her own safety.
When it first happened years ago I thought it was just a case of these girls being flakes but this pattern tells me it’s something much more sinister. I know I attract a certain type of woman (i.e. crazy, rude, self-centered, manic, narcissistic, vain, shallow, etc.) but Delilah wasn’t anything like that so knew something else must be happening when she failed to return the call…she’d never just disappear unless she was forced because she’d never be ”that girl”.
This new knowledge is already taking a toll on my dating prospects as I passed a beautiful woman at the Harris-Teeter this afternoon but didn’t dare return the smile. How could I live with myself if yet another woman had to turn her life upside down simply because she chose to go out to dinner with me? It’s just too much to bear knowing the danger associated with being my date for the evening.
Maybe I’m wrong about the whole witness protection thing but what other reason could there be? Just like getting someone’s name tattooed on your body, this is a very limiting move for me as I can now only pursue girls that I want to disappear from my life. Thankfully, I have an entire list to choose from…

Geez... Tell me how you really feel?
I agree with you - there is something (or someone) else there. This person is very nice - and honestly... I am curious myself.
Perhaps what you should consider is to invite a friend (female preferably) and replay the ENTIRE date(s) and video tape it.
Then we can watch it (notice I put WE in there now...) and look for any signs?
Holla back!
I'm not angry/bitter/anything...it was two casual dates and nothing more. I usually don't start to care until the 5th or 6th date...if ever. Now, if it had been a date with "Brown Dress" then I'd care right away. Of course, that will NEVER happen unless I suddenly become handsome, interesting and leave XYZ Corporation...none of which is likely to ever happen (well, at least the first two).
I was having a really off night too as I was exhausted from working 12 hours (and it was a terrible week in total) so couldn't focus on much of anything. I can tell you the exact point where I knew it was done...it seems to be my one decent social skill! Maybe because I get a lot of practice with it...
Anyway, millions of single women in world (and even a few in Charlotte) so not dwelling on this past adventure.
