The dirty (half) dozen

Here's a brief date recap for those of you playing the home game. I'll attempt to maintain the same date nicknames from now on so we can all follow along. I was needing a flow chart for awhile.

Date #1 : aka "Friendster Guy" - thought I wanted to be just friends but now think better of it. He's checking his schedule to see if he'll join me at a hockey game this weekend.

Date #2: was "Date # 3" at some point. Now known as "Buff Gym Guy". Very flirty. Saw him again last night. I brought him to a group thing at a bar last night knowing he'd be pretty flirty with not just me but my gal pals and I knew they'd like it. He was and they did. I learned he's a very interesting person and worth at least a couple more dates. He sang me a song from Les Miserable. And he was good. I didn't swoon but it's the kind of thing that would make me do so.

Date #3: "K." Physical disabilities and speech impediment. I've already told him we can be friends but that's it.

Date #4: "Glider Guy" He flies gliders in his spare time. A little boring. We may go out again to see if the awkwardness goes away but it probably won't.

Date #5: "High School Guy" Yes, I believe I'm going to call this a retroactive date. He was pleasant and funny and the conversation was relaxed and comfortable. We're going out again Friday night but with a friend of his. He's asked me to see if I have any single ladies who'd like to join us. There are a few red flags involving alcohol that I'd like to investigate. Friday night at a bar with a pal of his from Britain is the perfect venue. There are some things that are deal breakers for me. Overexcessive drinking is one of them.

Date #6: "Math Teacher" The jury is still out on him because we won't meet until Sunday.

So, Dates 1, 2, and 5 are promising and worthy of at least a second if not third and fourth looks. If dates 3 and 4 don't contact me ever again I'd be fine with that.

Date 6 is an unknown.

Oh, and in case you are wondering, only one of these dates ended in a kiss and it was the very, very briefest of pecks from Buff Gym Guy. Sadly I was like "oh my goodness I think he's going to kiss me on the lips right here in the bar in front of god and everyone!" instead of "Yeeha!" I may or may not be sharing any more juicy details here in the future. That might have been it folks. You may be trying to live vicariously through me, but not THAT vicariously.

Today is a day of rest. Aaahhhh....

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge

Making Eye Babies

Colleges often have a lot of rules the students need to follow. After all, a bunch of 18-21 year olds can't really be expected to self-govern on their own, at least not 24/7, no matter how vehement they are that they can do just that. (I was 18-21 once myself so I know it's annoying to hear that. I don't mean all 18-21 year olds individually, I mean when they all get together in one place.) Then there are Christian Colleges which have more rules, often based on biblical teachings and moral dictates. Further down the spectrum is Bob Jones University* which considers the Christian colleges just too darn liberal so they piles on a bunch of morally based codes of behavior. Not to be outdone by the crazy liberal heathens at Bob Jones, Pensacola Christian College goes hog wild with the rules and moral imperatives and makes the Taliban look almost liberal. An article in the March 24th edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education explains some of the rules and regulations the stu

Everything old is new again...

It's been 10 years since last I posted here. Ten. Years. I guess it is true that things on the internet never disappear. I'm honestly shocked I was able to log in. A quick update: Friendster Guy and I split up, amicably, 2 years ago. Since then I've dated 3 gentlemen, the most recent of which lasted a year but once again, ended. Amicably. I'm excellent at breakups apparently. I have just reentered the world of on-line dating and was thinking how I used to chronicle my exploits here. A lot of things have changed in the interim - texting, Facebook being open to all, the ubiquity of camera phones, a new generation of dating sites/apps. But, a lot of things haven't. Men are still...men. The technology may have changed, but the people behind the scenes are still the same. The main difference is that I'm now 15 years older. Maybe, just maybe, I'm also wiser. And maybe, if I cross my fingers really hard, so are the gentlemen I end up meeting.
