Adventures in Dating - One Month Checkup
First, a quick update on the revolving day players in my lineup of daters.
Bachelor Number One: Well...we know how that
went.Bachelor Number Two: Very nice and funny guy. Extremely recently out. Did the whole eye-darting/whisper thing every time he said the word "gay". Sweet guy. Hasn't called since.
Bachelor Number Three: Had our third date last night. It ended with me asking how he thought things were going. He said he just saw us as buddies and after sleeping on it, I have to agree.
Tonight, I'm meeting Bachelor Number Four for coffee. After this, I think I'm going to switch the social blender from puree to stir for a bit. For starters, I'm broke. This being social thing burns money. Money I don't have. Friends have said "you can just meet for coffee," which is true and I have, but eating out and even just going out for coffee, is somewhat of a luxury when it comes to my tight as a virgin budget.
Also, I'm tired. I day dream about taking a nap when I'm working. I get home thinking, "Maybe I could get a power nap in for a few minutes." Not a good idea. My power nap lasted over an hour and I was late for an appointment the other day.
I get up rather early. Insanely early, so these late date nights have certainly thrown me out of whack with my whole gym going routine. This morning, I decided to take a brisk walk instead of driving to the gym. It was a nice change of pace, but it's the first physical exercise I've gotten in almost a week. (Bad Homo! Get thee to a gym!)
I have to say that I'm really impressed with myself on my little dating adventure. For a complete novice, I'm pretty natural at it (at least I think I am). I don't get really nervous. I remain honest and true to myself. I'm pretty good at keeping a conversation going when I want to. I'm not so good when I don't want to, I've noticed. I should probably work of that. Need to learn to fake it a bit.
Even though I'm going to take a little hiatus from pimping myself out, don't worry. I will be back in the rat race soon and will share all my exploits with you to enjoy and commiserate. It's sort of a bonus for bloggers. Even if the date is bad, at least you got a good post out of it.
