Hope Crashes

It's Monday ... gym day!  and I'm ready.....
you see......

There's a man at the gym who has been friendly,
smiling, waving and talking to me in the past.
Nice man. 
Very nice.  :)
He's been absent lately - but was back today.
We talked. 
Smiled.
Talked more.
and Smiled again.

This is the first time we've talked when one of us wasn't on a machine.
I thought of him as short.
But he's as tall as I am.

He has blue eyes.
and a 'something' that appeals to me.
More smiling.
And then....  out comes the deal breaker:
"we have two yellow labs."
*sigh*

Why do things that have a hint of promise
come to a screeching halt with "we" ???

It's hard to believe I misread a signal or two....
but then again, I've been out of the dating scene for a while now
*another sigh*
Oh well. 
back to my original word:   "Next!"
