There's something in the air

I don't know what it is about springtime, but lately my dating site inboxes have been getting more emails than usual.  I have to say, the winter seems to be the worst time for dating.  Nobody really wants to leave the house.  But now that it's patio season, everyone's in the mood to date again!

Lots to update you on, so I'm going to give you the short version.  (Some of these would have made amazing posts on their own though, so I'm a bit sad at having to leave some things out.  Oh well.)

Bad Break-up Brian:  Back in March I met up with Brian for coffee, but he looked very familiar.  Of course he did.  I dated Brian already, six years ago.  (Have I already dated all the single men, and now I'm back at the top of the list??)  Anyway, he didn't seem to recognize me, so I just pretended it was our first first date and not our second first date.  Back then, we went out a few times, but I realized he was a bit dim so I stopped seeing him.  So this time when he asked me for a second date, I politely said 'no thanks' -- I already knew he wasn't for me.  When most people get a 'no thanks' text message in reply to asking someone out, they leave it at that.  What's there to say, right?  Well if you're Brian, you dig deeper.  If you're Brian, you continue to press the issue until the other person stops trying to politely let you down and just outright tells you to f*ck off.  Poor Brian.
