Mirage, The (n.): This guy is a cruel, cruel beast -- but totally unintentionally. When you've been having a dry spell for a couple of weeks or months, you have these little false alarm guys who make you think that you're finally going to go on a real date. BUT, although he has expressed interest in hanging out, he doesn't follow through.

So, though you're ready to end your dry spell, this guy won't deliver at all. It's like seeing a delicious cup of lemonade on the horizon, but once you grasp it, it's just a cup of sand. Boo!
