Coffee Break with a Cute Camo Guy...Then Crickets

Hey Maybe Nots and Maybe Yeses! Buckle up for another installment in the thrilling (and sometimes confusing) world of dating app roulette. 

Today's episode involves a military guy, a late-night rendezvous, and a disappearing act worthy of a ninja master (again, because apparently vanishing acts are a recurring theme in my dating life).

We all know the drill: swipe left, swipe right, pray for a match that isn't a catfish or a profile with all the personality of a wet sock. It's a roller-coaster, let me tell you. The gorgeous specimens with bios shorter than a haiku (do you think they’re too good to be true? They usually are). The verified hotties who vanish faster than snow in the summer sun (because they never reply to messages). The pretty decent profiles with interesting details that fizzle out in a flurry of awkward messages (because apparently, conversation skills are a rare commodity these days). And of course, the ones you just skip because, well, self-respect is a thing.

But then, there are the rare diamonds in the rough. Like this military fella – decent looking (by my discerning standards, of course), who actually replied to my message, and kept the conversation flowing like a well-oiled machine. The only snag (that wasn't his camouflage pants)? His schedule was about as predictable as a toddler on a sugar rush. Mine, with its late-night delights, wasn't exactly a walk in the park either.

So, picture this: a fine night (Dun dun DUNNNN!) at 2 AM (of course!), and there he is, gracing my workplace with his presence. We talked for a whole hour – no fireworks this time, let's just say public smooching at 2 AM isn't exactly the office dress code – but the conversation was surprisingly engaging. 

Afterwards, the messages kept flowing. My hopes for a second date were definitely piqued. But then, our text exchange, once lively, began to fade like a dying campfire, like a forgotten bag of chips at the back of the pantry. Poof! Silence. Crickets. Tumbleweeds. The usual.

Finally, I gathered my courage and (gasp!) initiated a conversation - the last one, or so I said. Shocking, I know. Apparently, he was surprised it was the "last message." Busy at work, he claimed, with no time for his phone (interestingly, the same app where he religiously viewed my stories suddenly offered zero connection for basic messaging. Maybe they have a special "stalk-but-don't-talk" feature?). So, I did what any self-respecting Maybe Not would do – I stopped wasting my energy and time.

One more soldier down in the battle of dating. But hey, chin up, love warriors! There are plenty more swipes in the sea, land and skies, and who knows, maybe next time I'll find a guy who understands the concept of both communication and basic human connection. Until then, let's keep the faith (and the sarcasm flowing)!

Stay tuned for more dating adventures (hopefully not haunted by ghosts), and feel free to share your own "Maybe Not" moments in the comments!

day 337: What's your favorite cereal?

Damn, let me tell you something.  I FUCKING LOVE CEREAL. I like all cereal.  Except like, Raisin Bran.  & Mini Wheats, not a fan of those.  But, it all depends on my mood/craving.  I really like reese pieces cereal, & lucky charms.  OR CORN POPS, DAMN.  hmm, sometimes all you need is some good ol' honey nut cheerios.  Or, I love rice krispies with the tiniest bit of milk & brown sugar.  Oh my gosh I love cereal.

Fuck, Trevor & I sat down one day & figured this out but we're not together anymore so currently I have no plan because I can't go meet up with him & excute our plan as previously arranged.  I guess I have to figure that out, and soon..
