Match.com Date Review: T

For reasons I don't fully understand, I decided to re-up my Match.com membership. (Quick tip: Sign up for a month, then go to cancel membership. When it asks why, click the box that says "I cannot afford it" and it'll then ask you "Could you afford it at a lower price?" Click yes, and it'll offer you 3 months for the price of 1. You're welcome) I have been a little down on Match lately because I haven't had much success of late. Which means I am holding something against them that is not their fault, I get it. Anyway, I decided to cast my line out there and try again. Within the first few days I began exchanging emails with T. She was my age, no kids, same education/sense of humor/religious beliefs....yada, yada, yada. After a week we begin exchanging texts and make plans to meet for drinks. We met last Thursday night and much to my surprise, she looked exactly like her pictures and conversation came easily! (Us veteran Match.comers know that these two attributes on a first date are kind of a rarity). The night progresses and all is going well, we laugh and talk about what we will do on our next date. We both had drinks but neither of us sloppy drunk, just slightly buzzed. As the night ends, I walk her to her car and she leans in for a kiss...which promptly turns into a full-blown make-out session. Finally, we pry ourselves apart and call it a night. We text Friday and Saturday and all is going well. Sunday (today), I received a text that says "I hope this isn't awkward but I went out on a date with someone else and it is going to progress. You are a nice guy. Take care." Yes, I know people date others and sometimes it doesn't work out when it feels like it should. But I can't explain why this one bothered me as much as it did. Maybe my sense of the entire situation was off or maybe she regretted kissing me after the date...who knows. All I know is this: I understand less about the dating world at 32 than any other time in my life. And really, I don't need to understand everything...I just want to know how to make it work. More than anything, I'm just tired of the dating carousel. I'd like to get off now, please.
