East Coast

I think I may have come up with a great solution to my dating problems. I need to date guys on the East Coast. No, not necessarily East Coast guys. And, I don’t mean move to the East Coast to date guys. I mean, I need to stay here and date guys over there. Let me explain why. The time difference makes me have to play the game. I mean, by default I have to. If a guy tells me to email him the next day or something, the earliest I’d be writing is 11am or noon. I mean, even if I wake up and write him first thing, it’s not first thing to him. He’s been at work for hours, staring at his inbox, wondering when I’m going to get around to emailing him. And, unless he really thinks about the time difference, he won’t assume that I woke up and emailed him first thing when he sees my name pop up in his inbox. He’ll just be stoked. Then there’s the fact that I can’t hang out with him, so I have to have my own life and do my own thing. I can still go out with my friends and do my own thing. I can focus on school and not be distracted. I can make plans with my girlfriends to drink 4 bottles of wine and not worry if he wants to hang out. He’s not here. He can’t! It’s perfect! I mean, I guess I could just work on not emailing a guy right away, and making him wait. Or making plans with my friends and telling him that he’ll have to wait til the next time I’m free. But, him being far away on the East Coast just makes it’s easier. I can’t be bad even if I want to break any or all of the rules! I’m all about shortcuts and not working as hard as I need to in fixing myself. This solves everything.
