A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

No call from high school guy. But at least I'm getting smarter about this whole dating thing. In the meantime, I keep talking to the editor guy I met with about a week and a half ago. He seems like a sincere guy. I keep wondering why I'm so screwed up about men. Here's a run down, in backwards chronological order, of the last few guys I've either dated or been interested in: 1) Makes promises and doesn't keep them guy (ie, the guy from high school) 2) The guy who was still in love with his ex....

Oh, wait, that came out wrong! But I did hear online from the guy I knew in high school, and he says he's definitely coming into the city to visit.

...I've got a lot of work to do, and sadly I can't do it at the beach. I feel really, really bad about running out on my friends, but it couldn't be helped. I'm taking a break right now, if only to watch Sex and the City and blog a little bit. MN and I have continued talking, despite the fact that there wasn't really a connection. His agent is shopping his book out to various publishers, and he's a little bit nervous about the whole thing--as I might also be in his situation. One of the... Sign in to see full entry.
