Moneypenny

That guy is bonkers. Just bonkers.

Good luck with the tests, Kare! I just had mine last week, and I’m always thankful that I only have to do it once a year.
Veritek, I think the star naming is really cute. Even if it’s not really “yours” it’s a fun gift! I’ve seen ads for that, and I’ve always thought it would be a fun gift for that person who has everything. That or a goat, purchased in their name, for someone in a developing country.
I’ve been home sick this week with tonsillitis of all things- my throat is feeling almost normal again, and not like I swallowed a hot cactus! But I have absolutely no plans this weekend, other than going to the library to study. Boring. My sis and her fam are coming to visit for Easter, so I’m glad I get to see them, and I’m glad I won’t be sick either!

I haven’t updated lately, just because I feel like I end up sounding like a broken record. And it’s all very frustrating. (Like always.) Awhile back I went on dates with a couple of guys- one was ok but meh (didn’t hear back from him which was fine), and the other was really fun and awesome. I wound up going out with that guy 3 times, last time on St Patrick’s Day, and all were a blast- we got along great, made each other laugh, talked up a storm, lots of chemistry. All signs point to positive. Well, last sunday he called me, to say hi and see how I was doing and hear my voice, but then also to tell me that he also had been dating someone else before he met me (ok no surprise), and that he felt like he can’t date 2 people seriously at the same time and that he felt that he wanted to see that one through, and if only we’d met earlier he wouldn’t have to make this decision, and he may not have thought it all the way through and it may not work out, and I’m great in xyz ways, etc etc. Basically it’s not anything I’ve done, or that we’re not compatible, but he just wants to date one person at a time now and I’m not it.

I also had a phone date with a guy, who really preferred to talk on the phone first instead of just having a cup of coffee or something. And it felt like a job interview. He asked a question, I answered, said “how about you?” and he’d answer. Ugh. He’s cute but I’m not sure this is going to go well. And I get only a few matches on eharmony these days, and most of them have either no picture or a sparsely filled in profile. So, I’m feeling pretty bummed about the state of things lately. I wish things would just turn around, it really starts to get to me.
Anyway: I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

I had no idea lacrosse was Canada’s national sport (that’s an official thing?). I totally thought it would be hockey! I hope you have a blast!!
Well I’ve gone on a couple of dates this week. Monday I went out for drinks with a guy from eharmony. We met at a wine bar, had a couple of glasses, then he took me to a piano bar nearby and I had a watermelon martini (tasted like a Jolly Rancher). Followed by late night pizza. Not bad for a Monday! It was actually really fun, we have similar senses of humor, and our personalities meshed pretty well. He also gave me a very nice kiss goodnight! We’re going to go out again on Sunday.
Tonight I had coffee with a guy from Coffee Meets Bagel. He was really nice, reserved but warm in personality. He’s originally from France, but spent much of his life in the US and in Tennessee. I didn’t quite feel like we meshed as well, but it was a fun time talking to him. He asked if I maybe wanted to hang out again, and I agreed. (why not!)
Incidentally, both of these guys are totally not my type. 😛 They’re both blonde with blue eyes (same as me), which is not what I go for, but hey, they’re both cute so who cares!
Other than that, my life has been pretty quiet on the dating front but too busy everywhere else!

Well, I guess you can’t blame him for trying? Ha. Glad to hear your dad is home from the hospital!

I don’t have much of an update these days, except that I’m kind of frustrated. Let’s see. New Year’s dude and I still text occasionally, and after suggesting we do something this week (and me replying, asking what his schedule was like to set something up) he hasn’t responded. So that’s that. I went on 2 dates this past weekend, both of which were pretty good. The first guy was nice, we had dinner, and I had a good time. The second guy I had coffee with on Sunday, and I enjoyed it much more, actually, and that felt mutual. I actually felt nervous, which is unusual for me. He suggested talking later to coordinate schedules and I agreed. Needless to say, I haven’t heard from him. (I did send a “had a nice time” message suggesting again to meet up sometime, later that night.) So I assume that’s that. I’m not sure why exactly but feel a bit disappointed. Maybe just because I actually had a legit good time and was interested in seeing him again? So, oh well. But it’s all just very frustrating.

What’s your instagram name, Kare? I know you have mentioned it before, but I don’t remember what page it’s on… (I want to see the FWB! 🙂 )
I’m not so good at keeping things tidy when I’m in a funk either- I try to at least clean/tidy things on the weekends if I’ve left stuff out or piled up during the week. It makes things a bit more manageable!

I’m sorry to hear about that dud, MissDre- that’s totally frustrating. More and more lately my outlook has been, well, if he isn’t interested/disappears, that’s his problem and his loss. It has nothing to do with me (since he barely knows me)! Plus having an open weekend means more time for dance classes! (Which I have recently started doing!) I try to keep up the positive energy, but still there’s that little bit of frustration with it all.

Well I have a date update. Saturday I went out with NYE dude and we had a great time. I was super tired from running around all day (plus long dance class in the morning) so I was trying to rally before I met him at 6. (plus it rained off and on the whole evening.) We went downtown to a tiki bar I like, which unfortunately was packed so the wait for a drink was long. But we had a drink, and then left to get some dinner (deep dish pizza, yum), and then rode cable cars from one end to the other with Italian tourists. And found ourselves walking around in a very foggy, deserted area that is normally packed with people, so it was very eerie! Then we had to figure out how to get back to his place, which involved 3 different modes of transit. Let’s just say we were happy to get back to his place. Oh yeah, then he gave me a neck massage and we got nekkid and it was awesome. He was surprised when I said I had to go. I definitely enjoyed the whole evening, and I’m pretty positive he did too- for just being a second date, it was a good one! I’m trying to not worry too much about the age difference, as it’s not a big deal right now, but could be if it comes to the point where we talk about the future and such. (It’s too soon to do that, I think!) No plans yet for going out again though.
