Going on my date tonight with the man who shall henceforth be nicknamed The Professor. I have low expectations but you just never know, right? && anything can happen?
Also, got hair extensions today! Went from having a short little angled bob to thick wavy hair down to the middle of my back. So excited 🙂
@MissDre! Good luck on your date with The Professor, we’ll need an update. And how exciting with the extensions.
@TheLadyE – Good luck on your date tonight and with your hike tomorrow. We’ll need an update from you as well.Continued thoughts and prayers going out to Wendy and her family and I hope everyone has a great weekend. 🙂
Ooh the tape in sounds nice! I’ve been curious about the tape in and the microbead, but I’m not sure how they compare. I want longer hair, but I should probabaly just stop doing stuff to mine so it will grow. Right now it’s kind of a blondish grey ombre.
I have stupidly fine hair so at it’s very longest, I’ve only been able to grow it to the tops of my shoulders, and it’s so so thin/fine I can’t do anything with it. That’s why I always keep it cut short. So, I got the extensions both for length and fullness. Took 7 packs of hair to fill my head!!
So my date with The Professor was last night. It was alright. I had a decent time I would say he’s worth a second date at least but it wasn’t anything exciting. He seems like a sweet and happy go lucky guy and I can’t think of anything negative to say about him. I suppose I’ll go out with him at least once more to see if the connection grows but to be honest I wouldn’t really care if I never heard from him again.
I might look into the tape! I used to glue in my own extensions back in the days of MySpace. Ugh.
An okay date is better than a bad date! Sometimes it’s just nice to break up the monotony. Plus sometimes it’s hard to get an accurate gauge on the first date. First dates usually feel like job interviews to me.
I went to the movies Wednesday with my FWB. The theater house couches instead of traditional seats. It’s pretty neat.
And yesterday I stayed at my coworker’s place, drank rum, and had all the sex.
How’d your date/hike go @TheLadyE?
@MissDre, I guess that’s how dating goes. Still a numbers game but it’s great you met someone. Your hair extensions sound fab!So I bumped into Tinder Finance Guy outside his building yesterday. Seriously!? (Yes, he lives there, but still, why did he have to leave his place at that time I was walking past it. It also crossed my mind that I may bump into him at some point but I didn’t think it would actually happen). He was the one I went on more dates than necessary/I was emotionally unavailable.
We had cordial/friendly conversation. Honestly, the reason why I felt awkward was when I texted him that I was no longer interested (we conversed through text so that’s why ending it by text was OK for us), he thanked me for letting him know and said wouldn’t mind keeping in touch and I just.. never replied. My fault for being rude, but ugh, a short “yeah, that’d be great!” text whether I meant it or not would’ve solved any awkward bump-ins.
I don’t know if you remember me mentioning the guy I matched with on Tinder when I visited Chicago in July. We chatted a bit in August interspersed with questions about my hooking up which was weird (for me) and I wrote about that here. The correspondence faded. Then he messaged me about a week and a half ago about the Blue Jays (sigh… still sad about that) and we had nice messages about the Cubs/Jays/commiserating about losses. Well last night/this morning apparently he messaged me at 3 AM EST if I was still awake. I was happily asleep. This hasn’t happened to me before… I just, what? .. this is all through Tinder, mind you, it’s not like you can send pictures through it. We’re 700 km apart. And yet, I’m also having a stupid fantasy about this? I went back to read Kate’s wise thoughts about this one. Just wanted to vent this out.
“Ugh. He’s not a sociopath, but you should ask yourself, why, if he’s this total catch, is he spending time chatting up women who live nowhere near him? Why is he not so busy going on all these dates with local women to bother with someone in another country? Yeah.”
Yep, pretty much!! Hahah.
