...It obviously respects the rules of engagement. Bring on the dates people!
I just scored another dinner date at one of my favorite restaurants! I was looking forward to a nice salmon plate but more importantly the man. Turns out he is better on paper, a disappointment my sister and I felt equally. She had a "good feeling" about him. (Please note this is not a rare response from her. She has been known to pick out several men as my life path partner. I guess we have to define more clearly how long the path is.) Lately most of my dates that didn't make it to number 2 were due to a mutual lack of lovin' feelin'. Unfortunately "Paper Boy" is showing signs of feeling a spark that isn't so mutual. He kissed me on the cheek and texted me early this morning thanking me for a great date. Crap.
This morning I woke up to 3 emails:
Match 1 asked me out to a sushi making class on Saturday afternoon. I am declining because I don't get a "good feeling" from his pics and would hate to potentially waste a perfect Saturday afternoon. Would much rather hang with the girls who are always reliable and lovable.
Match 2 is a 'new to town' fella who noted my cosmic and spiritual connection. Nice. He works for Coca Cola. I don't have a spiritual connection to Coke, but I will give him a first date if he asks. At least he used the word cosmic. He grew up on the west coast...more points.
Match 3 turned out to be my neighbor. We had sent a few emails and then ran into each other in the elevator Monday morning. The elevator I never use since I walk to work. The elevator I was using on my first day of Jury Duty. Note to self: Look cute, even for Jury Duty! To my good fortune "elevator man" does not judge people at first glance (or has poor eyesight) and sent me a sweet email mentioning our brief encounter. We did not acknowledge each other in the elevator to prevent any discomfort to fellow riders...and personal embarrassment. There could be a date in our future, or at least awkward meetings at the pool.
In my infinite wisdom I have invited Mac to the pool this afternoon. Bathing suit on a 3rd date, brilliant! On a positive note, Mac is picking up dinner for a poolside picnic...I think he is falling for me. Bless him, he has no idea. Along with texting him my address I informed him that he would only be allowed on the pool deck. To prevent myself from an unexpected moment of weakness I am leaving the apartment messy. (i.e. wearing white granny panties)
"sit, stay. good girl."
Total: ($640) Question: Do parentheses mean positive or negative value?
PS- Jury Duty was a real treat. At one point while in the jury box I began laughing inappropriately. I literally had to turn my chair and bite my lip while digging my nails into my arms...it took 5 min for me to get control.
PSS- Love on the ones you love. A dear friend lost her love last night...talk about defining the the length of the path. To quote her favorite quotable movie, "I would rather have 30 minutes of wonderful than a life time of nothin' special." I am so happy she knows what wonderful feels like.
