Ponderings on Dating

I went on a date last night.  It seemed like a good idea at the time. 

We'll call him NewYork....because we'll he's from the city.  The Bronx to be specific.  A nice guy, smart educated, funny, etc.  He went out of his way to make my acquaintance at a social gathering.  And then later, to email me.  So, I figured what the heck.  We talked on the phone for 1-1/2 hours the night before.  I hate talking on the phone and didn't realize we had been on that long. 

He has all the personality traits that I like - direct, honest, funny, and just a plain good guy.  But...there's always the but!  He doesn't DO anything.  He doesn't hike, doesn't play sports, doesn't go to concerts, doesn't have hobbies.  He's a watcher - watches sports, likes dance music (which would be fine if that wasn't the only type of music he liked), goes to the Caribbean for travel, watches movies.  He's a typical NY'er...city boy. He's never ridden a bike!  He likes hanging out with his friends.  MM said he is a sitcom...lol...I'm thinking Seinfeld.  Perhaps I should name him Jerry...hahaha. 

I think over time, he'd bore me.  I know he's into me.  He texted a couple of times today. I probably should nip this one in the bud.  I let the whole Southern Gentleman relationship go on way too long...mostly because I couldn't find any major grievances with ihm.  Be he too bored me - but in a different way.  I knew that one wouldn't last but gave it a shot any way.  I wanted a nice upstanding honorable guy...just wish he had a personality.

I'm thinking I just need to stop saying yes to dates!  It'd be nice to find someone but it just aggrevates me and sucks away my precious time.  I coulda went hiking last night.  Or worked on the blanket (Oh God! the blanket that will never be finished!).  

I can't say I didn't have fun.  I can't say he wasn't interesting or excitable.  But, I'm not sure I can say I want to spend more time with him. 

Have I mentioned I hate dating!  UGH!
