The Possible Prince Tuesday, Apr 29 2008
CraigsList and POF and possible prince CraigsList, dating, POF, possible prince 9:17 am
Once upon a time, there was a lovely princess. She had everything she needed in life except her prince. She searched high, and she searched low, but still the prince eluded her. In a final effort to find him, our princess turned to online dating. She posted ads hither and yon, but nary a prince was found. One day, despite her better judgment, she even posted an ad on CraigsList.
Much to her surprise a princely candidate answered this ad! In her excitement, she responded rapidly to his message and even sent pictures. But alas, our possible prince disappeared. Or did he?
Then one day, our princess was feeling blue over an unexplainable incident with the undead. She innocently perused yet another dating site, and lo what should she see but the possible prince! Did her eyes decieve her, or had fate thrown him in her path once again? In her weakened state, she contacted the possible prince and then she waited. And she waited. And she waited.
A whole week went by and our princess had all but forgotten about her possible prince. One morning, while innocently checking her messages, what should appear but a reply! From the possible prince! And so a slow motion email exchange began.
This went on fora week or three when the possible prince requested the princess’s phone number, which she gladly provided. But then a dark time set upon the kingdom and the possible prince disappeared yet again. A week went by and nothing. 4 more days passed…. and then, there was contact. The possible prince has been on vacation but promised to call that night.
The princess was skeptical. She eyed her phone warily but did not get excited. The night the hours wore on and her phone remained silent. The possible prince was nowhere to be found. And just as our princess was settling in to watch a new episode of House, it rang. The possible prince had called.
They talked, they laughed, they did not hang up for over an hour. Much fun was had. But eventually, the possible prince had to prepare for another day of work in his kingdom and our princess needed her beauty sleep. They parted ways with no date set and no promise of future contact.
The princess was confused. She slept on it and decided to email her possible prince in the morning and thank him for the fun conversation. And now she waits again.
Will the possible prince answer her email? Will he call again? Will he actually ask her out? Stay tuned for the next episode of….. The Possible Prince!

I would ask him how many stallions he comes with for his dowry …
Good luck. I hope he calls!!! It’s not just anyone who you can talk comfortably with for over an hour.
I will be sure to ask him about the stallion thing if he calls again. Might be a bit confusing for him though…

Where’s the part about how she bet the princess from another kingdom a glass of mead that he would not call and now she owes this other princess some booze?
If I liquor you up, will you quit harping on this already?

I don’t think he’s so princely. Are we saying that because he’s hot? Because in Red’s world, princes are attentive. Inattentive guys may be hot/funny/smart/cool to hang out with, etc, but they will never be the prince in my world. And so many of us princesses have to keep on waiting…
Oh no, I simply can’t date anyone on physical attributes alone. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt on being a pretty busy dude who didn’t necessarily want to devote loads of time to someone he didn’t know. He’s smart and funny and seems nice though. And he needed a nickname. That’s really all there is to it.

I think this Princess may need to go and play in the royal garden a little more. She may find other better Royal Men. Although this Prince sounds HOT…. he may not understand the value of this gorgeous Princess.
Oyyyy I just confused myself.
Dont give up on him, and dont push him away. But also dont put all of yours in his basket either.
Every good One Date Wonder knows never to put eggs in any basket but her own. Never fear.

I gotta say.. in today’s day and age of “instant connection” email/phone/im/carrier pigeon/smoke signal/etc… I just DON’T see how/why someone would not communicate in more prompt manner.
It makes this kitty highly suspicious and my tail is a twitchin’ that the Possible Prince isn’t very good on follow thru. I look forward to hearing what may or may not come of it.
meow!
I feel ya. But I’m also not hanging my entire life on waiting or his every word, so it doesn’t bother me. Plus, he appears to be stepping up his efforts now.
