Recent Romantic Fails

Seeing as romance is a big topic with me (or lack of, rather) - I thought maybe my own personal weird luck would entertain you all as well.  I'm 35 and am finding this to be a hard age to meet other singles.  Actually meeting other single people has always been sort of tough for me at any age, but particularly now.  I figure that now is particularly tough because , in mid-30s a lot of people are married.  Or, even if they're not married - it seems like a lot are in committed relationships.    While I'm going to try and avoid making this a "poor me" posting - I will say that at times it feels like time has left me behind.  But I digress.  So!  Seeing as it is desperately hard for me to meet other singles - it is astonishing that recently I have met 2 single men.  Of course, because of my luck - neither opportunity went anywhere.   1) An old classmate contacted me on Facebook and gave me his phone number.  Said he would like to meet to catch up and promised he would text promptly.   We texted for about a week, and when I broached the meet up in person topic, he promptly quit texting me. Well, I'm not going to beg... so happy trails.  2) I met a guy this winter actually , and we hung out a couple of times.  It wasn't a date or anything.  Well one day he invited me out to a bar he was at.  When I got there he was there *with another woman*.  He came over, said hi... but then promptly made it clear that he was with this other lady as they were hanging on each other.  Well, why invite me out if you have someone that you're there with anyway?  Oh well, yet again typical of my luck.  He messaged me when I got home and I told him, essentially that it wasn't going to work out.  Typical my luck.  Hopefully you got a few laughs out of it, too.  Sums up the topic nicely:
