D. Ugh

The fact that he was a Longhorn fan disqualified him way before the girlfriend came out. You're too good for that.

Bummer! I have an idea. Do you have someone in your past, even going back to elementary school, who gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside? Look him (them) up and contact "OUT OF CURIOSITY" [that's a good line!] When you were real young, for example, you knew who and what was good or not because your essence wasn't "clouded" by things like maturity.... Just an idea to run parallel with your experiment in online dating- in any case, you lose some, but you may win (bigtime) one!!! You deserve the best!

That doesn't count as a rejection because he's a bartender. That means either (a) he's too young - sorry, but do you really want to hear "yaw Dude! Let's hit a kegger!" (I mean, except from me)(Or Sara)(Or AndreAnna)(etc)? or (b) he's not too young, which means he's *this old* and still a bartender!

Here's another for you: "Men are like a fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's the woman's job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something you'd like to have dinner with." It's a long process. You weren't rejected, you were released. What you had there was the makings of Strawberry Angel. You'll get your Cabernet Sauvignon.

(I mean, sure, Strawberry Angel can get you pretty hammered, but you get a hell of a headache.)

He's obviously gay.

I challenge the title of your post. It does not count if you get turned down by someone who's already involved. They weren't available to begin with, ergo, no rejection! And, dude...Harmzie is totally right.

I agree with jenlware and I'm glad that he had enough balls to tell you he was involved. Because HONEY? If I were bartending and you were bringing your A game? Hell, I'd be tempted.

Much and many hugs!!!
