The Island Of Lost Men!
Men, Men, Men.. Can't live with you, certainly can't live without you.
The other day I was telling my friends that I feared that the man I am currently "Seeing" may end up on the Island Of Lost Men. After stating this to them, my one friend told me that I must write a blog about what the Island Of Lost Men means.
The Island of Lost Men ( terminology came from an episode of Sex and the City-- Season 4), constitues a man who you have gotten together with and the both of you have agreed to meet up again, but to your surprise, he doesn't show.
He Never Calls.
He never Writes
And you most likely will see him 4 months later in a bar, and get to experience a very awkard situation. Although, most of us can admit this has happened to us once or twice in our dating careers, it has happened to me more often than most.
I have been wondering why that seems to be. I mean how I could date someone for a month, and they not even bother to tell me its over? Or, why is it SO hard for someone to say.. Listen, I have thought it over and I don't want to hang out with you afterall?
Sure, there will be questions, possible anger, but isn't it better to give someone a heads up to what your thinking, instead have them wait around for you all night? I mean, afterall, it will be nice to know that you didn't get murder or lost on your way to my house.
In my most recent quest to avoid this potentially very awkward situation, I tried to break it off with the guy I am "Seeing". I know, I know, I know-- What was I thinking?! Well.. I wasn't thinking that this guy could actually be sincere in his desire to meet up with me, or that circumstances beyond his control caused him to actually cancel... I just thought of my very HIGH, THICK Walls, that I have built over my dating career.
Its very hard to look at someone new, as someone different from the rest-- especially when you've gotten so burnt in the past. I mean, I feel like I am the bermuda triangle for gay men. Once they see me, they vanish from the Earth.
All joking aside, standing someone up is not only inconsiderate, it damages someones ego. Its a scary dating world out there, and it would make life a lot of easier if people would give the same respect they wish to receive.
Stay Tuned to see if the guy I am "Seeing" becomes a member of the Island-- I am suppose to see him tonight.. Lets hope that he will show up.. ;)
