Adventures in Dating 2

So being single I did what every single girl would do. I joined a dating website. Well, in actuality I had joined it a long time ago (see post something around here where i bitched about that too) but decided to try it again.
After wading through the "easy-going and laid back" guys, after weeding out the ones with no shirts on, after ignoring the ones where they claim their interests are "hanging out" and "fun". I found someone who seemed entertaining.
Problem one: he is really young. Not like "hey wanna trade pokemon cards" young, but young enough.
Problem two: well, there wasn't one.
We chatted in the way it is supposed to go. Got to know each other and eventually made plans to meet up. He didnt show. And then after finding out there was a good reason we made plans again. And he didnt show. Okay. I am a sucker for punishment.
Long story short, i am at a loss as to how to proceed. We made plans again for tomorrow. I think I will honour those, however if he doesnt, I will jump on my horse and ride off into the sunset looking for eternal youth and a tree made out of candy.

My question is: How desparate am I for company that I am willing to put up with this? Its not just him. I seem to have a habit of giving people a second, third, fourth chance when they really dont deserve it. Am I an optimist? God no. I think I am just so damned lonely that I will accept all sorts of insults and such just to be able to think I have something worthwhile.
Is Dr. Phil doing a show on this anytime soon?

*I would like to point out that this guy is really hot. I mean holy crap, let me each sushi off of you hot. That may have something to do with it. In fact, it probably has everything to do with it. I am a sucker for the yummy guys.
