Sorry we didn't click

Thought I should update today's progress. Not that there's much progress to talk of. It didn't just didn't happen at all today. Spent most of the day hanging around online to see if anything would turn up - I've been majorly 'frustrated' (see, still being polite) and would probably have done the big meet thing had something worth meeting turned up. No such luck. I did get another guy asking if I was in the market for a slave. Two in one day is a bit weird. Maybe I need to change my profile pic or something.

Anyway, to cap the whole thing off, I have a PM just now from a guy one year out of my age range. I will admit, I was maybe a little bit arsey with him. He didn't get my, admittedly dry, sense of humor from the start. That never sits well with me I'm afraid. I did the usual thing about sometimes being a little flexible with my age range (although in reality I've never been with anyone more than two years older that myself) depending on other things but definitely drawing the line at guys older than my father. This bit he clearly misread. I pointed this out and at least he apologised. But it was doomed from that moment on.

It turns out that he was into, and I quote, "beer, whiskey, poppers and straight porn". Whatever way you cut it, that's an interesting combination. I had to point out to him, regrettably, I don't drink, I don't want to know what effect poppers might have on my medication, and incidentally, I'm gay and as such don't really have any sort of interest in hetrosexual couples overacting for the camera. To each, his own. I think he got the message. "Sorry we didn't click" was his parting remark as he beat a retreat.

Honestly, I'm not that sorry and I'm still very frustrated.
