Digits and pipeline

Last night it occurred to me that I never got a call back from Beads, or the past few girls whose numbers I've gotten. This is not a good trend and something I need to work on. With Beads likely out of the picture, my dating pipeline is drying up.

I called Beads on Wednesday night but haven't heard from her since. This is the same thing that happened with that super-hot flight attendent, United, and the sexy bartender, Persia. All three acted very interested in going out for a drink, but after I either called or texted them they went radio-silent. United is an exception because I gave her my number, so the ball was in her court.

With so many variables in the call-back equation it's hard to pinpoint where I'm going wrong. It might be funny to do a Six Sigma or Lean Six Sigma project on calling girls after getting their numbers and calculating the defects in the procecss(yes, this is part of what I do for a living, and yes, it may in fact be the reason why 50% of the girls I meet don't call me back. It's a classic Catch-22).

I received an email last night from the couple selling the sailboat. They are dicking me around while another couple tries to come up with the cash for the boat. Chuck and I decided to pass on it. We realized it's a lot of cash for a toy and that we were just being impulsive. I'm a little disappointed, but I will probably sleep better not owning it.
