The experiment is over!

It's about time!

I put this off for too long. The final blah-g, that is.

My subscription to the dating website has been expired for a while now, and they deleted a lot of my stuff...winks, emails, etc. - starting me off at "0" again (even though I didn't renew).

So, you'll just have to take my word for it...I can't remember what the numbers were, so I won't even make some up...but as far as my winks sent/received, those didn't change very much from the last entry...emails varied, specifically between one particular girl, and I think that my "profile viewed" broke the 100-marker! Since my subscription has ended though, strangely, I have been receiving "winks" from girls who are supposedly interested in me...but in order to communicate with these girls, I would, of course...have to renew my subscription...hmmmm....(remember how one of those online dating sites got busted for tricking people in a similar fashion?).

Hmmm....alright, I guess I'll fill in the gaps.

The two afore mentioned females that had started to email me...the youngest one (21) blew me off after a few emails (remember, she said that she thought it was sad that I had received more feedback after I modified my profile, but that she wasn't one of those type of girls...?). I didn't bother to pursue her any further, I mean, come on...plus, she was the one that freaked me out by asking where I worked in her first email to me! Weird!

...and you think that's all...just wait...

The other girl, the older, more mature girl...we had some great emails going on for a few weeks. And then, recently (a few weeks ago, actually), she just stopped. Just like that. I've given up on her too...I mean, what the hell? It wasn't like I was swearing/cussing or talking about vegetables in my emails...

So, I figure, she met a guy (= good for her!) or she's "too busy" (= she did mention in one of her first emails that her work was going to be getting very busy in the next few months and that she wouldn't have very much free time)...OR...like the very first (punk rock) girl that I started talking to - she got impatient about me not asking her out. It very well could be a nice kiwi/lemon/banana smoothie-mix of all three, 'cause I rock it like that. I mean, she knew that I was going to busy for my work, I told her straight-up while I was writing her from the road. Anyhow, it's whatever.

So, yeah...those didn't work out, but hey! It was all just an experiment anyhow.

But now for the finale...

Remember that first girl? The one that was 21? The one that had asked me where I worked?

......

This Monday, at work, we got a new employee (can you guess who it was?). Our HR man was touring her around, I actually ran into them twice. Now...at first, I didn't recognize her...keep that in mind. But I did notice that she was attractive - so I was happy about that! I mean, there aren't very many young/single women at my office, so...you know how it is...

Anyway, at work, we have this silly intranet/homepage where they'll post pics/bios of the new hires, food/blood drives, etc. and they had her info up there...right in front of me and that's when it all clicked. I recognized her, but I wasn't exactly sure from where. Then it clicked again, but I had to make sure.

When I logged onto the site, I went to check my previous contacts/emails...which I found out had been deleted by the company, so I was like, fuck...I'm pretty sure it's her...so I did a quick search by age/zip code and found her profile...

So, yes...

The girl that freaked me out and whose mom also works for the company, is one of the "big bosses," and who I'll be working closely with during the next few months, is now working at the same company as I do. How fucking strange/awkward/coincidental is that?

I haven't seen her again since she was getting the tour, but...yeah, weird. Not exactly sure how to go about this one! I figure, well, you know how I am...Mr. Nice Guy...if/when we do run into each other, I'll be nice and we'll just see what happens from there.

So this brings the Inept Boy online dating experiment to a close. Not very exciting. Not very fun. No romantic kisses in the rain under city lights or long embraces after being rescued from a falling wooden bridge in the Amazon jungle...

Maybe one day, my princess will come. Until then, I'll just keep smiling and strolling along.
