YES TO LOTS OF UPDATES!!!!!!!
Peace. I’m off to my date shortly.
Oh my god stone, that’s freaking hilarious. I’m sorry he was such a weirdo, but man, what a great story!!!
Ooh, nice veritek! I’m sure you look hot. I like my hair today too! I’m wearing a black, open back maxi and it has a super fun print, almost like feathers, but it’s not feathers. Although, as long as he comes into work today, he’ll see me. Our desks aren’t terribly far apart since my group moved.
Speaking of us working at the same company. Funny story. Yesterday, I was out to lunch with his boss and another fellow I’m working with who was in town for the day. I work with the VPs and business development, usually. Anyway, we were discussing the upcoming golf tournament. The guy from out of town is coming in again for that and I’m supposed to be on his foursome. I said I wasn’t sure because it’s in the suburbs and I don’t have a car or way to get out there. *J’s boss told me to take a cab and that I could expense it. Then he said, “Oh, you know who lives in the City and is playing in the tournament, *J. I bet he could give you a ride.”
Hahahahaha. No.
If we keep going at this rate, I’m guessing this little tidbit of information will be public sooner than I would have liked.
I will say, when I met *J a few years ago, I thought he was kind of full of himself and so I really didn’t pay much attention to him. But since then, hearing everyone talk about how good he is at his job and how smart he is, etc. I’ve since changed my mind. And now that we’re going on dates, he’s really kind and thoughtful. He’s still a little arrogant, but I get it now.
Agreed! I was going to send a good luck toward the end of the day, so good luck veritek. It’s hard, but try not to overthink it during the date.
I’ll turn this back to dating. Date four tonight in 1.5 weeks! This is the fireworks over Navy Pier date from his patio. Oh… and we’ve been routinely texting in the evening and I think every single night he’s ended it with a “sweet dreams” and I a “sleep tight.” Omg, completely barf worthy, yet I can’t help but smile.
Oh, I’m 100% guarded. I’m trying out being less so right now with *J. The person I’m going on a 4th date in 1.5 weeks with tomorrow. Yay!
And Wendy!
Wholeheartedly agree with Kate.
Veritek… i think you should go in for a kiss at the end of tomorrow’s date. I can almost bet that since the first one was botched, he might be unclear of your intentions.
Oh my god, kare, I’m so sorry. There is nothing worse than smug married or coupled friends telling you to get back out there and date. Take as long as you need to feel ready to date again. Dating sometimes sucks and if you need a break, that’s ok. I’m firmly believe that if you force yourself to do something you’re not really into at the moment, bad decisions are made. I think you’re much better off moving at your own pace and being happy with yourself. I think you should consider cultivating new friendships then move into dating.
I feel you. I really do. I’ve been exactly where you are… although my dating hiatus was up to a year and four of my married/engaged/coupled friends attacked me last spring. The thing was, I never complained about being single so I’m not sure where they were coming from. Anyway, I didn’t give into their pressure and join dating sites because I knew in my heart I wasn’t ready.
Anyway, I hope that helps you feel a little better.
Ahh… don’t be. We’ve known each other for a while. We work together and flirted at the last holiday party. It took him until now to finally get the nerve to ask me out.
Luckily, our respective work groups don’t hang out, so there is no overlap.
We made out last night… so there’s a very good chance it will happen Wednesday as well.
