in case anyone is keeping score...

in reference to this post, i offer the following updates:

m, a creative director for an ad agency, 42, had a really fun first date a few weeks ago: texted me today that "due to recent developments, i'm now off the market."

r, "between jobs," recently divorced, great sense of humor, 34, needs to get his act together though: recently revealed he is interested in one of my friends.

n, 28, totally cute and nice, has a good job, but i'm not sure the spark is there: maybe i'm starting to feel it a bit (just had our third date) but i think we are in different places in our lives.

j, my mr. big, 47, lives in san diego though: no change.

what is the universe trying to tell me...and why have 4 different prospects (2 that I'd met and 2 that I'd only corresponded with over email/phone) all decided to pursue other people instead of me since I moved here in July?

someday this will all make sense to me. today is not that day and tomorrow's not looking that good for it either.

I'm sorry. I acted like an idiot. The thing is, I started seeing someone recently. It got a bit serious quickly so...

Really, I'm sorry. Maybe we can be friends? i could always use another.

What do you think?

I think...becoming a single parent is sounding really good to me these days because if I wait around for a guy to actually make some f*ing sense I may be 60 before he shows up.

grrr. ~md
