How quick it is

So unsurprisingly, Off and On pulled his usual just about 6 weeks after we started dating.  I should have seen it coming, because it was just like the other times.  At least this time he had the guts to come over to my place and tell me.

Honestly, I don’t get it.  We went from joking about him meeting my parents to not speaking in one week.  He says his life is a mess (he’s been unemployed since November) and he can’t be with anyone right now.

I’d say this was guyspeak for not being that into me, but I don’t know.  He genuinely seemed very upset about it.  And he really did seem into me – calling me beautiful, bugging me to spend time with him, texting me constantly when my parents were here…

But anyway.  I decided to sign up for online dating.  So far only one semi-interesting connection, and trust me I’d blog about it if it were worth it.  That I’m even counting this guy shows how bad it’s been.  Off and On is signed up for the same site, which naturally matched us the very next day after he signed up.

I go back and forth on how much this bothers me.  Today I’m struggling with it.  The few encounters we’ve had so far have been awkward, and the lines of communication need to be opened.  He has his first job interview in weeks on Friday and I’m agonizing over whether or not to wish him luck.  Thoughts?
