That sucks, tommy! I was thinking about the click thing earlier, because I have definately felt in in friendship, but NSM in dating. I think maybe it is a way also of explaning how things might look good on paper, but not in real life. For example, for several years out of college, my BFF M and her mom thought her brother P and I should get together (yes, this is the P of buying too much cheese), because we were both smart, and fannish and into theatre. But we totally do not click, even though on paper, we like the same things. We are great friends, but we irritate the ever loving shit out of each other. We joke now that if we ever got together, we would live on two separate floors, watching our different favorite teevee shows. On the other hand, M's other brother and I sort of clicked, although we had a lot less in common. He was dating someone who he later married, so it was not an option, and no one is upset, but there was definitely a click. So, in sort, the click is unexplainable.

I'm sorry you failed to connect this time, but honestly, the fact that you both got told the same thing by the greeter within a mutually acceptable 6-minute window *and remembered the exact times to compare notes* sounds to me like (a) good reason to pick another place next time and (b) a potential future funny story.

Oh, and (c) shitty-assed cell service.

I have to fall on the side of "try to meet up again".

I once almost missed a date because rather than show up at the front of the theater at a given time like we'd agreed, he was waiting in his car out in the parking lot expecting to be notified of my arrival via text. (Which would have been fine if we'd actually discussed doing that, but I'm not a mind reader.)

Dude, your phone is totally trying to cockblock you. That ain't right.

Suddenly I understand why they call it "Virgin Mobile."

Yeah, maybe next week.

Cool. This was like the dress rehearsal where things go wrong, then.

Suddenly I understand why they call it "Virgin Mobile."

Bwah!

Ah, I hope you can give it another chance, tommy. How irritating. I probably would have bailed on someone I hadn't met in 15 minutes. But that doesn't mean go-round #2 couldn't work.

Bwah!

It's so funny that if I didn't have Virgin Mobile, I would have said I did....

Oh hey, and I saw the preview today for the movie that must have inspired that "no human-animal hybrids" bill. It was creepy, and made a good case for it being a bad idea! As far as a trailer can make a case....

Heh.

I've clicked with people within an hour, but it is usually friendship. Or rather, always friendship (the more complicated stuff I totally miss.) It's a hello, I am comfortable with you and want to keep talking. I guess I interpret them the same, which is why when it gets... complicated... I am always whoah, what? How'd I get here? I have friendship click and no other nuance.

And when that happens, I usually flee. Which is why I am single. And not unhappy about it.

oh man. I'm just home from work. Which I've been at for over 12+ hours. (Day started with me giving bagels to my AP Lit kids who had a test today).

My school blocked buffistas (and facebook! and livejournal and flickr).

I miss you people. Tons.
