When It Rains, It Pours (Rain Drop #3)

This is the final post in my three part "When It Rains, It Pours" series. So, this week, a statistically atypical thing happened: three dudes sent me interest-implying e-mails. I'm not that self pitying or delusional. I mean, I do have men who are interested in me. But it does seem to give credence to the "when it rains, it pours" cliche and the cliche about emitting some kind of "I'm wanted glow." OK. Again, I'm really not feeling overly optimistic. I'm waiting to discover that these raindrops are, in fact, mirages. Or they are real, but will evaporate.

Having already introduced fans to Rain Drops #1 and #2 , allow me to introduce Rain Drop #3. RD3 is actually a friend of a friend. Like so many child marriages, his ended in divorce (OK, they were in their mid twenties. But, still, what's the rush.) I actually remember meeting RD3 and asking my friend about him, only to discover that RD3 was married. That sucked. Well he's now divorced. That still sucks. Because who wants to date a recently divorced person. You don't have to be a Rules Girl to no that recently broken up or, worse, divorced, people are no-no's if you're looking for a relationship. But, anyway, Mr. Divorce e-mailed me saying he "miss[es] hanging out" and suggesting that we "get drinks." Why, that's pretty concrete. I mean no date and place, but compared to RD1 and RD2, it's basically a marriage proposal. I've written RD3 back and said we should wait to talk about marriage, since he just got out of one, but a drink sounds good. Just kidding. I only e-mailed part of that. Just the first part. Just kidding. I e-mailed him the second part only. For real.
