Turns out she is not interested in seeing me again. I think the fact that I am friends with her ex husband's best friend is an issue? I don't think I know her ex husband? That would be the one conversation we had she didn't seem all that happy about. She said I was attractive enough, that she had a good time, but there wasn't a spark. That she has been on enough blind dates to know if a spark isn't there it isn't there. I guess I didn't know I had to bring my "A" game. I do understand sparks I usually don't realize if the sparks are really there until the first kiss. I know I am slow to let people into my personal life and I know with new people I have a tendency to keep some personal details out. But given a chance people like me... a lot.

Hey - if she is that good and knows we would be wasting our time getting to know each other better this is probably a good thing. Sadly sometimes meeting the right woman is all in the numbers. I have to put myself out there... get beat up, take the blows, and 1out 5 works out to something.

As I have gotten older I have become more aware of who I am. I could get better at sharing who I am, but I don't try to be anybody else. Sad part is maybe I didn't present myself very well. But then what probably happened was I was open enough for her to get a sense who I am and she passed.

So my friends girlfriend asked if it would be okay if she tried to set me up again sometime and said why not. I am sure on the next one I will be the person saying there were no sparks. ; )
