Me too! I was a little depressed at first, but then I realized it was for the best. She constantly cancelled dates and then rescheduled them, which honestly annoyed me a little.
Better to get the mismatches out of the way now. Anytime I get lonely I look at the unhappy train wrecks that are the lives of so many of my co-workers. While I do long for a connection, I will be able to retire before 50 if I choose to, with a livable pension that won't be diminished by ex-wives or children. I'm sure she is out there, just as I'm sure your Mr. Right will inevitably pop up down the road.
I did try am Aspie blind date, and it was weird. All she wanted to talk about was Heist Wizard books, and I could tell the ship was sinking when I said, "You mean like Harry Potter?" It even came out in slow motion. For future date prospects that may bring up Heist Wizards, Harry Potter is NOT considered a Heist Wizard.
I will personally throw a coin in the fountain in your honor next time I pass a fountain and actually have a coin in my pocket. I'm bad at analogies, so I will leave it with "poster of a kitty on a branch that says hang in there." Your posts are always positive and insightful, and I firmly believe you will find love sooner rather than later.
