It's been a good while since I updated this damn blog. Two weeks. A lot can happen in that time and a lot has happened in that time. Here are just a few of the highlights:
GC admitted that he just wasn't that into me. Saw that one coming....
I went to the Lady Gaga concert with a bunch of my girlfriends and then ended up spending the night with the cable guy.
I met the doctor for lunch.
I reactivated my okcupid profile and I found a couple of potential interests.
Exciting, huh?
The conversation with GC was through text, my favorite way to communicate. I asked him on a date. He was sick, but he really didn't want to go anyway. I sensed this. He told me he didn't know what "level of attachment" he could offer me. I told him that I appreciated his honesty and let him have his out. He was surprised that I didn't "take it personal and get psycho." I wanted to tell him that being rejected by him was, by far, not the worst rejection that I have ever went through. Come down off your high horse, prince charming! I still feel like the thing with GC is not completely over. I refuse to be his booty call, although, once I have had a few drinks that seems like the best idea ever.
The doctor. I got his number from the nurse at work. We start exchanging texts. He seems like a nice enough guy. I stalk him on facebook and find a picture. Not bad from the picture. Too bad there is no date on it. Through text I ask him if he has anything going on that I might consider a "deal-breaker." His response was something like this, "I don't have psychotic episodes very much anymore. My doctor has me on a good blend of meds." Initially, I think he is joking, so I dismiss this comment. He made several other strange comments through text, but it's really hard to decipher intentions, tone and sarcasm through text, so I don't take any of the comments too seriously.
We meet for lunch at The Cap City diner. I am excited about this because I have never been there before and I hear GREAT things about the place. I am early. He is late. Not a dealbreaker, but really, on the first date? He looks like his picture. Not bad. He does have a great body, however, I just don't feel that attracted to him. He was easy enough to talk to. He ended up taking some calls because he was on call, which is totally forgivable, considering his profession. During lunch, the topic of drinking comes up. I tell him that I drink socially. He says that he never drinks because of the medicine he is on. Hmmm, maybe he is on psych meds??? After we finished lunch, he walked me to my car and gave me an awkward hug. I could tell he wanted to kiss me, but I wasn't feeling it. On my way home, I got a text from him saying he couldn't wait to take me out again.
Apparently, he told the guy that set us up that he really liked me and wanted take me out again. I thought I would be willing to go out with him again. Hey, maybe all the awkwardness was just because we had just met? But, I haven't heard from him in well over a week now, so, I can guess that he is just not that into me, either. I am not upset about that.
That very same night that I met the doctor, I went to a Lady Gaga concert. I went with my girls and we had a great time. I had a designated driver, so I cut loose and had way too much to drink. We all know what happens...I texted the cable guy. He told me he would wait up for me. When I got to his place, he wanted to talk. He told me he was going to try harder. I didn't want to know what he was talking about, so I didn't ask. He left it at that. Apparently, he is trying harder at ignoring me, but that's ok. This is how our "relationship" cycles.
Because of my epic failure at my attempt to detox from men, I went ahead and reactivated my OKcupid profile. There are two that I have been exchanging text messages with. The first is a self-proclaimed geek, with wash-board abs. He also has 6, yes, 6, sisters! (Intimidating.) He hates OSU, which is not a deal breaker, as long as I am not required to convert. So, for the purpose of this blog, he will now be referred to as "the Geek." The other is one that okcupid deems my 99% match. I figure, what the hell, 99%, might as well see what happens. He has one sister and he likes the Buckeyes. Only con so far, is that he wear earrings in both ears. I hate it when guys wear more jewelry than me. But, with 99% chance of compatibility, that may be the 1% right there.
The Geek. He is 36. SIX sisters. Did I mention this was intimidating? This guy probably wonders why he is still single....DUH, you sisters probably scare all of your potential girlfriends away! Being a woman, I know how catty we can be. He is also the only boy in his family. I should not be worried about this at this point. So, I wont.
The geek has inadvertently sent me some texts that were clearly not intended for me. The first one said this, "Well, there are 3. Two from okcupid and one that I always keep around for plan b." Wow. He just let me know that I'm in the running for plan a. Good to know. He apologizes profusely for this. I don't care. Little does he know that he is competing with like 5 guys, at least. The next text that clearly wasn't intended for me said, "I pooped 3 times today." I replied, "I hope you have baby wipes." Again, he apologizes, but I think it is really funny that I get those texts. He seems to be relieved that I don't take it too seriously. I am really looking forward to meeting this guy, even if he does poop 3x a day and have two back up plans.
The 99% match. What can I say. He is horrible at text conversations. He always responds with one word answers. I'm going to meet him, but I have no clue when. Hopefully, soon. I hate wasting time with people just to meet and find out that I have wasted my time.
I have decided that instead of detoxing from men, I am going to meet as many as possible with the hopes of meeting someone worth a second date. I'm not going to lower my standards, however, I am going to meet some guys that I would normally dismiss by reading their profile. You never know. That is how I met RR.
So, there is my detailed update of the past two weeks. I promise to update more frequently, unless I don't. I get busy. I forget. Sometimes, I don't know if its even worth updating anymore. If nothing else, it is a good place for me to vent. I have found that it really does help me sort out all of my thought and feelings.
Here is the part where I tell YOU to stay tuned to see what crazy, retarded thing I do next. We all know it's coming....
