Christie...Dials

ok...time for an update... It seems that these guys that "The Expert" is emailing for me.. just want to talk on the phone. So they have given me/her their number and then it seems that when I didn't get right back to them I was called immature and a few other things. I won't debate any of that but come on! It was thanksgiving! It's not like I was sitting home alone with nothing to do!

That being said.. I got the nerve up to call one of the guys. Why was I so nervous?? Yikes! ok so I dial..and ..answering machine. I leave some really short message saying something like... Oh hey.. sorry it has taken me so long to call...work has been crazy.. I will call you back when I can.

Of course I dialed *67 so my number would be blocked. He sent another "match" email saying he was in a meeting and we really should get together "so he could take advantage of me" ??? What??? The Experts response was "Agreed :)" Ok Kim. What are you setting me up for!!

I didn't try him again until today. so i dial...and then.. CRAP!! I forgot to to dial *67!! UGH! HE picks up and I say "Hey.. It Christie from Match" "Oh hey....seems we are both really busy" he says. Then he starts asking me a zillion questions about what I do. Can't we save that for the date??

"The music industry must be so much fun"

"Yeah it's a pretty fun job. So lets figure out when we can get together.. I'm not really sure how this works. You are the first person I have spoken to"

"Oh.. yeah i seem to get that a lot"

" Uh...NOT the first person I have dated since being divorced!! just on Match...i'm new to Match!!"

"Oh well we should get coffee or a drink. Can you do it next week?"

"I'll have to check my schedule..The weekdays are hard because I have a lot of work events in the evening."

"Wow.. you can bring me and I can be your arm candy"

"............................................................" "Uh...yeah ha ha ..uh I have never brought anyone to work events....because I'm WORKING"

Why is this so hard?? Expert....I am not good at this!!!

I have to get back to him with a time we can meet...
