Nope, He never called, or emailed or anything. So I guess he wasn't playing the 3 day rule, he just wasn't interested.

Yes, this was the same ex-drug user.

He was a really awesome guy. I really miss talking to him for hours every night.

Don't feel bad about this guy for too long. Go out, have fun, flirt, and meet cute guys who don't have baggage and will call you. :) Summer is a great time for a romance. Consider this a blessing in disguise.

I don't know, I've been to upstate NY a bunch of times (fiancee is from there) and all around the country, and you can find good solid Italian restaurants, better than Olive Garden, most anywhere. That's not to say there's anything horrible about the place...I just think there are comparably-priced, better tasting options for Italian in most areas.

If he didn't call...eh, it's not the end of the world, you'll move on.

As far as OG, anyone find me a place that serves Pasta Fagoli soup thats in Ohio near Cleveland and its better than OG. If not Im sticking to OG thats all I eat there unless its dessert.

This was more my point - i wasn't really shooting at anyone in particular, just making a general statement toward the thread (and trying to explain the anti-Olive Garden reaction . . . it's anti-laziness, guys, not necessarily 'elitism')
