Date 7: Back Home

OK, I will make a very long story short. I went home a few weeks ago for business and while I was there I got together for drinks one night with Dee, an old friend of mine. This turned out to be a mistake.


Background: I went out with Dee a few times about 2 years ago, nothing major, but I had a pretty big crush on her. During that time, one night we had plans to go out for dinner, it was probably our fourth date, and she called me a few hours before dinner and cancelled. Actually, she didn't just cancel dinner, she said she got back together with an old college boyfriend and couldn't see me anymore. That stung a bit.

D7 - Dee: Dee is really cute, she's about 5'4" with a tiny little body. She has medium length wavy-brown hair, brown eyes and a great smile. She usually gets really dressed up when we go out, but she's a hippy at heart, and loves to hike and be outdoors.


Fast forward to a few weeks ago. Dee has not been with the college-guy for about a year and we had been emailing each other recently. We got together that Friday night for dinner then went out for a few drinks. We closed the bar and she invited me back to her place to see her new dog and have a beer. We had a beer and played with her pup, and I ended up staying the night. We didn't sleep together, but pretty much did everything else.


Dee and I got together one other time over the weekend and hung out, and we had fun. We left things off that she would come to DC for a visit.


We talked a couple of times since I was home and had tentatively decided on a weekend for her visit, however, the next time we spoke she had clearly changed her mind and was being very vague about everything. Finally, she emailed me and said that while she had fun when we were together, she wasn't ready to spend a weekend together.

I guess I don't blame her, the most time we ever spent together (awake) at one time was about 5 hours, so a weekend is a big leap. However, given her history of flaking out I don't have high hopes of getting together again. This is too bad because I really enjoy her company and think she's a great girl.

Recap: So of the past seven dates I have only had interest in one girl, and she's not even from DC.
