Update

In case you are keeping score, I sadly have only about 1% progress to report.  So much effort, so little reward.

One, Two, Seven, and Eight were no-go’s.  I even went the extra mile with Eight and posted a Missed Connection on Craigslist, but I didn't get any response.  I never heard from Three or Four.  Five was supposed to call me when he was back in town, but I never heard from him; clearly he never came back from Hawaii. 

I think Six and I somehow merged right into friends.  He texted me the night I gave him my number so that I would have his number, and then we became Facebook friends.  I didn't get to see him on Halloween so he texted me a picture of him in his outfit, in which he was wearing a red thong - hilarious (with the cape and horns, his costume was a "sexy devil").  We chat on Facebook regularly about nothing in particular.  I’ve invited him to do things a few times, and he’s always very apologetic about not being available.  However, he did make me an amazing mixed CD before he left for the Christmas Holiday, so in middle school terms, I’d say we’re an official couple.

Sadly I never heard back from Nine.  After my initial text about going on a date, I sent another text a few days later inviting him to meet me out dancing.  Obviously his phone must have been stolen after we exchanged numbers because I never got a reply from him.

Stats:

- Nine attempts

- Zero dates

- One new friend with great music taste

- Tons of entertainment for you and me

- Nine guys out there who hopefully have a rise in their self-esteem

Bring on the next one!
