Crazy Magnet Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Back to online dating. The last one I found online was a good guy with some really weird issues. This time I'm hoping for a good guy with no weird issues. (If there is such a thing.) Official date #1 is tonight. Who knows how it will go. Strangely, I am not nervous at all. He's super cute from his pictures and seems to be fairly interesting. He could also put together a sentence. Official date #2 is set for next weekend and another guy is asking to set something in stone next week. For better or worse I'm going to see what's out there. :bunny: No fear!!
Author Crazy Magnet Posted March 12, 2011 Author Posted March 12, 2011 Well that went better than expected. He was way hot in real life (always a good thing). He's very athletic and toned and had the cutest smile. He was also very smart, well-rounded, and ambitious. He seemed pretty insightful and thoughtful too. I knew as soon as I got back out there I'd snap out of this doom and gloom I'll be alone forever mode. We chatted for a couple of hours over dinner. Since I break all the dating rules anyway I'm going to send him a text hoping that he got home safely (he drove quite a ways to take me out). If he responds that will be awesome, if he doesn't I'll know he wasn't that interested. He didn't ask for a second date at the end of the first which guys normally do. We totally did that awkward I just met you from online hug thing at the end. Even at 31 I get insanely nervous at the thought of kissing somebody new and sort of clam up and look awkward at the end of dates. I think I'm his first online date. He seemed pretty confused as to how things were supposed to go. I'd totally take a second date if he asked for one. If he doesn't, no big deal. Plenty of other fishies out there. PS....this settles my initial attraction question. There's no reason to not go for the whole shebang.
Author Crazy Magnet Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 Two "dates" coming up this week. One is just a coffee thing. He's most like someone I would go for so I don't want to screw that one up. The other one I waffle on his cuteness, but he's very smart, witty, etc. It's on a weekend night which I found a bit odd for a first date from online. I guess if he's up for it, so am I!
tigressA Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Yay, another log! Are you going to give the guys nicknames, or number them? Sounds like the first date was a hit. I love when they look even better than their pictures. Did he respond to your text?
Author Crazy Magnet Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 He did respond right away, and then I never heard from him again! I don't know if he's waiting several days or just wasn't interested. Either way....back to the main topic. I shall call guy #1--Mr. Oh So Cute...but I think I can go on and cross him off since he vanished. Those remaining are: Mr. Smarty Pants, Mr. Insightful, and Mr. ummm...Lawyer Dude? There's also Mr. Looking for Arm Candy. I have only heard rumors of him wanting to meet me but I have never actually seen him (not even a picture...for all I know he's a scary sight.) He'll make it happen if he wants it to happen. I am being stalked pretty hard by mutual friends this weekend for a "group get-together" so I'm pretty sure I'll meet him soon. Everybody else I put in a holding pattern for now.
baguette Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Good read so far, keep it up! I'm a guy so it's nice to get some insider info.
Author Crazy Magnet Posted March 19, 2011 Author Posted March 19, 2011 Alright...here's the week ending update: I think I'm going to boot Mr. Insightful from the line up. I just can't imagine him naked so I don't see the point. I'm going to give it one more shot to make sure, but I don't see this one turning into something for me. He'd make a great friend though. Mr. Smarty Pants...ooooo aaaahhhhh. I like him quite a bit. He's super busy this week but has still contacted me every day after the date. He said he'd like to meet up again so I will look forward to it. Mr. Lawyer Dude...He was very smart, well spoken, had some cool non-lawyer type things going on in his life and he was cute. He also asked if we could go out again sometime and I said sure. Mr. Looking for Arm Candy has sent word through mutual friends that he "definitely" wants to meet me. So I see this happening next I guess. Entering the fray are: Bill Nye the Science Guy, Salsa Dancer, the Latin Lover, Hat Guy, and the Nice Guy. I'm debating how many dates I can actually accept at one time. I want a chance to meet everyone though because you never know how things will be in person.
pandagirl Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 I'm not trying to rain on your parade at ALL, but didn't you JUST break up with your boyfriend? One that you were quite serious with?
Eternal Sunshine Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) I'm not trying to rain on your parade at ALL, but didn't you JUST break up with your boyfriend? One that you were quite serious with? The one you were going to marry? It's kind of nuts to do this a week after the break up. Just want to add that perhaps this is your coping mechanism, to distract yourself from the turmoil of break up. The problem is, if you suppress your feelings like that - they will only come back to haunt you later. Edited March 19, 2011 by Eternal Sunshine
Author Crazy Magnet Posted March 19, 2011 Author Posted March 19, 2011 I am very much looking for a distraction in this moment. All my friends are married/with kids so it's either I sit at home by myself all the time or get out and meet people. I literally have one single friend without kids. ONE. That's all. Sitting at home is going to do nothing for me. I'm not looking for the love of my life, I'm looking for somebody to hang out with.
