How to Tell If Your Boyfriend Is the Antichrist: And If He Is, Should You Break Up with Him?

I got this book as a gift from one of my coworkers/friends who finds my dating stories amusing. The book is equally amusing and short, but not for the faint of heart or easily offended. I found myself laughing more than once, as well as finding some disturbing similarities between the profiles and some of my more unusual dates.

p. 105: How to tell if your boyfriend is agoraphobic? Who could forget the guy who couldn't leave his car to meet me in the bookstore.

p. 78: How to tell if your boyfriend is a nymphomaniac? The guy who asked me if I would be interested in "just a sex thing" after we ordered, but before the food was served on our first date. Awkward.

p. 25: How to tell if your boyfriend is suffering from ADHD? The guy who asked me my son's name, where I went to college and how old I was no less than three times a piece in the course of one evening.

No wonder I took so well to blogging.

I cleaned out my storage closet today. I threw out a bunch of junk. One of the best finds was a bunch of my old journals from high school.

Oh, man.

The things I wrote.

A lot of my journal entries centered around boys.

Not that much has changed.

I wish I didn't like them so much.

I'm sure I'll get tired of this soon. Or have a bad hair day. Or something.

Classic Moments in Dating Miscommunication

So (against my better judgment) I called the guy I had a second date with last weekend. I really like him and while he's "just not that into me," I did want to see if he made it home from his business trip. And I wanted to feel him out about maybe doing something on Sunday.

Get his answering machine. Leave a breezy message. Drop my cell phone in my purse.

My phone proceeds to redial his number back a half-dozen times over the course of the next hour.

He hasn't called me back.

Are we surprised?

No. No, we're not.
