There's a new sheriff fin town..or not.

Most of you guys know that I'm one of bloglands most eligible bachelorettes. I've been "single" for quite some time now. Mostly because I've been super indifferent to the dating process and the likes, and some because there haven't been any suitable suitors worth changing my single disposition. Well, I "thought" there was the potential for me to stick my player card in the freezer and settle down and do the whole dating thing yada yada yada. Well, turns out, that's not the case at all!

So I met "the sheriff" one day while sitting and working at Barnes and Noble. Admittedly I wasn't interested in him or any other person who approached me that day because I was behind on work and had finally gotten into a flow of things and really didn't want to jinx it by stopping and making small talk with any of the passerby's in the place, and not eventhe tall handsome who was all in my personal space. I was actually probably a biotch to dude so to my surprise after he took my card he actually called me. *gasp* All this time I'd been doing things backwards apparently, being nice had gotten me NOTHING, being a total b...a potential match! Geaux figure.

Fast forward, "the sheriff" and I had text quite a bit, had gone out once, both our schedules were pretty hectic and he had been working nights and I had been doing a lot of travelling and had a full schedule so logistically we hadn't really had time to hang out although both of us made it clear that we enjoyed the conversation and wanted to hang out. The time that we did go out it was great. Great conversation, little flirting, he was a total gentleman, did I mention great conversation. It's hard to find someone that I can have really good conversation with without it being redundant or without me feeling like I'm having to dumb down, so to speak. He's a bit of nerd like myself so it was cool. Althought I must admit that I probably learned more about guns and holsters than I care too, but that's his thing so I listened, nodded and smiled. "The sheriff" finally had a weekend off and let me know this quite a few times throughout the week that he'd be available, so in my mind I was thinking, I guess I'll see him Fri. and/or Sat. night.

Most folks probably don't peg me for a traditionalist when it comes to dating but I am. I believe the guy should ask the lady out, the guy should open doors, pull the chair out, the whole nine. So after playing a bit of phone tag on Friday (because my phone sucks!!) we finally connect and im asking, so what are your plans for the night yada yada yada and he mentions he's going to go to the gym and work out and will hit me back, cool. I had a long day so I could use some down time. I wasn't expecting him to hit me back at like 10pm. Yea, I didn't answer the phone.

Sat. we txt a few times and again, I ask what his plans are, and he says, nothing except he wanted to watch the lakers game, I'm like cool. I ask,you plan to watch it there or go out, opening the door for him to say, lets go watch the game somewhere, yea, didn't happen and I REFUSED to ask him out. I did all the hard work for him, told him it would be nice to see him, said I'm forgetting what he looks like, talked about the lakers as if I liked them, all he had to do was say, you want to watch the game! like seriously.

So now, I'm here thinking, that he had potential to be a distraction and maybe more, but I think deep down I wasn't that into him in the first place and just maybe he wasn't that into me either but it just irks me that he couldn't man up and just ask me out! When it was so obvious (to me) that he wanted too. And people wonder why I'm so indifferent to dating. If this is how it is, then they can keep that.

Adios Mr. Sheriff.

Brown, out!
