Although this blog had multiple purposes, originally, a major one was to have something to look back on (for myself) and see the progression from crazed and heartbroken to sane and happy. I've kinda slacked off in that regard. It seems the only time I get on her and blog is when something has happened with ex or I'm having especially depressed feelings about this single life. SO, this one is a new phase. Day 331 is the first blog entry about my new life of dating.
I guess the best way to go about this is to assign them numbers.
1- friend set me up with coworker. Problem was coworker made sudden plans to move back to hometown (out of state) prior to the date. We went out anyway, had fun, but of course nothing further came of it.
2-a groomsmen at work asked me out afterward. Decided to remain open minded even though I wasn't super into it. Should have gone with my first instinct, ugh.
3- another party-goer from work invited me out after. Much better than first one. Went on second date. Planned third date, then it didn't happen. End of story.
I'm just going to go ahead and put out there, since no one I know reads this (hopefully) and say that the new round of dates came from internet dating. I had a very, very horrible weekend revolving around ex, I think I may have actually wrote about it in the last blog entry, which prompted me to take people's advice and turn to the world wide web. So, without further ado:
4-met divorcee with 2 kids at starbucks. the end
5 & 6- made out with 2 coworkers, at the company Christmas party, in a coat closet....not both at the same time, and alcohol was definitely involved, obvi (I'm not proud of these 2 but whatev, I'm apparently reliving 21)
7-coffee date again. Cute, my age, never married, no kids, buuut really not very intelligent at all. To the point that it was difficult to have conversation.
8- finally a decent date. fun, normal guy, good conversation but I just didn't know if there was any spark/chemistry. He was definitely worth a second shot though. The next time he met friend and me out at a bar for a few drinks. Same thing, he was fun, good conversation but still wasn't feeling anything I thought I should be feeling. We planned a third date but it just never ended up happening. I guess he picked up on the lack of effort on my part.
9- lunch date and ding ding ding! chemistry, right off the bat, finally! HOWEVER, apparently I was the only one feeling it. On a side note, I have now met 8 internet guys, I have only felt sparks with one of them, who happens to also be the only one who did not express any interest in a second day. The irony is not lost on me.
10- coffee date, blah, def sure I wasn't interested in a second.
11- met another guy from a wedding at work, I actually went way out of my normal zone of comfort with him and brought him back to my place. I did not feel this was a stupid, dangerous move for 2 reasons. 1. He was from out of state therefore had no idea where I lived when I took him there. 2. I live with a guy so I felt I could yell for help if necessary. No sex was involved, I'm still sticking to my whole not wanting to have a "number" thing. I like to remain at 1 until the guy I'm going to marry if possible. But if I end up in another long term relationship that doesn't work out then I want to stick to 1 at least until I can call someone a boyfriend haha
12-dinner date, back to internet guys... this one was quite far out of my age range (10 years older) but decent conversation and I decided worth a second try. On the second date I went to his apt and he cooked an absolutely delicious dinner. However, I was totally weirded out by the his hand caressing/massaging my scalp while watching TV lol that was the end of that.
13-dull, that's all I have to say
14- friend set me up with hubby's friend. It was a friend who I don't see often and apparently did not know me well because Mr. lack of personality was most certainly not a good match.
15-back to internet, met a guy for dinner and drinks. For some reason he was funnier in writing than in person, strange. Still wanted to try another date though. Went on second date to fantastic Thai restaurant. I'm not sure if this one is going to break the 2 date curse though. I'm just not feeling what I think I should be feeling.
That's it, the whole 1-15 catch up =) hopefully I'll do a better job of staying on top of these dates more often (absolutely no pun intended)
