Wow

Wow. I just don't even know how to describe this date. Lets be fair, it was a quick meet- I didn't even know his name! ( I started chatting with him late last week). I'm sure he told me something like Cal or similar. get this:
I went to St. Marks, a very cool hip area in the city, meet C at some beer bar, ok. Night starts good, with me chatting about my weekend in fire island, he's been, hooray, we have something in common! And then we continue, He tells me to get a table, and he will bring the drinks. Then he goes on and tells me of this kick ball team that he does for fun, no its not as dorky as you imagine. And I listen, and tell him about the time I used to play intramural flag football in the city (granted it was for the beer and men only, but don't fault), but he seems to think that's neat. Then we chat about him being from NYC and that he lives in alphabet city, and how he loves the area. I tell him of my fav game skee ball at ace bar ( which is his "go to") and we dive into the nuances of the game. Really I did think everything is going well. And by well I mean, i don't think i would have gone out with him again, because there was no chemistry, but it wasn't a wash out of a night. He finishes his beer, and note I'm not done with my drink ( I know be shocked!)- and then, wait for it.. wait for it. he says he has to go, gets up and leaves!!! Yes, no- "i had a good time, or thanks" he just leaves. I've never been in this situation ever in my life. So I finish my drink, and leave and get the bus back up town. I'm shocked, even now. I have no idea, and I'm baffled. And I've been on bad dates, but none where they get up and leave?! It's called manners! Some part of me does find this comical, because he was way to thin for my taste, and seemed a lot pretentious, but really, manners sir.

A small update of what i have: I AM speaking to Argentina, he's actually visiting his family there and won't be back until mid August, we'll see how it plays out then.
Bulgaria called to say he had a wonderful time, and then never called again! I called back, said hi- no word- I'm not heartbroken.
I have a date tomorrow with M
I chatted with a very funny new D- who became a bit guarded with a "I like to chat many times on the phone before I go out with a girl". D- really? You either do or you don't so go out and see!
More deets tomorrow.
