So, I've invented a new term for dating. It's called "being put on the back burner." It happens when you go on an amazing date, talk about going out again, spend hours having titillating and flirtatious conversations over gchat every day, yet no date is set up. Furthermore, when the hopeful girl asks about said man's weekend plans, hopeful girl learns that he's taking out another girl on Friday (cool, since said hopeful girl already has plans with her friends) and other mundane plans, but does not take the bait to ask hopeful girl out on another date. Now the hopeful girl can only wait for the probable "let's just be friends" conversation on Saturday, or the slightly less likely, "hey, want to hang out tonight?" question if his date tanks.
How do I meet these people. Honestly?

"How do I meet these people. Honestly?"
I'm going to guess 'the Internet?' It's the Pandora's Box of the 21st Century.
I am sorry to hear about your dating travails, though. Dating seems a lot like a pain in the ass, which is certainly not appropriate on a first date.
Yes, I have a blogger ID now.
Um... seriously? I live this. I call it "Hansons Theory of Elimination."
It goes something like this:
GUY: I'm not stand up enough to tell you I feel no spark (or that I've recently started fucking somebody), and I may want to eventually sleep with you if this bleach blonde, thong-wearing skank doesn't pan out. BUT if I tell you i'm not interested, any future sexing is probably out of the question, as I will have damaged fragile chick ego. BETTER IDEA! Two words HOLDING PATTERN: I shall place you on a) ignore b) make subtle references to being really "busy" and c) failing those things, tell you you're too "needy" so that I have a totally understandable reason to never see you again.
What happens?
You, without knowing that you've been given the heave ho, may call, looking like a dick, asking about plans when really... he's probably preparing to Schtoop some girl who paints on her eyebrows...
Beware of these men. Don't let them corrupt your awesomeness. Bid Good Day to them, smash your Cig with your heels and walk away.
This is my biggest Man Dickery Issue. Srsly.
Your term is rather clunky. Perhaps "On Simmer"?
turn that frown upside down young lady.
maybe he has plans for saturday and is planning on asking you out next week. i never take a girl out on saturday night unless i've been out with her several times before. saturday night is reserved for the "go out and drink with your friends and try to bang a skank" night. sunday thru thursday are designated "date" nights. of course, as soon as the relationship is "consumated" the strategy completely changes.
Don't listen to Carl. If he was really interested, you'd have a date set already. "Hansons Theory of Elimination" is spot on. I've been through it more than enough times to know.
carl, i'm not liking your answer.
alie, it's funny, but i thought the same thing as you. he's def going to friend mode.
that being said, i put myself in the guys place. i don't go out to really "get serious". even though i want to it's like i can't seem to get seriously lovey with any guy i meet.
i'm destine to be alone!
