• The past couple weeks have been busy for me. I have had family come to town, i’ve gone home to see my parents, I am writing papers for school etc. so please forgive me for the lack of posts as of late.

    Work is going very well. I am very happy at my job and I get really passionate about it sometimes when I help someone do something totally cool that they had no idea they could. It’s a great opportunity.

    This weekend, my visitor is coming. I am getting excited for his visit. I have found a few little things to give him as gifts that I know he will appreciate.

    This past weekend was interesting to say the least. The guy who is visiting (my best friend) started dating someone. Now, I always get upset when he does simply because I still have some feelings for him. That is something that I have always known about and I have learned that it is something that I am just going to have to deal with. I take it way to personally when he finds a guy because I have a real fear of being replaced by someone else.

    Anthony (who is now happily dating someone, congrats) and I spoke this week about him and his advice at the time was to sever the relationship with him. At the time, I agreed with him. It seemed that I was being used and that remaining friends with him would always leave me miserable.

    I have talked to my friend and I think I have reached a comfortable place. I know I have to accept these new guys but there are certain things that I need to be okay with it all. He seemed more than willing to help out with that.

    Honestly, I just want to take my vacation and have a good time. I really look forward to it all. We are staying in town for the most part. I think I am going to rent a car for the day and we are going to go to this really beautiful place that I know of down on the ocean. It will be fun.

    I will be sure to post after his visit and maybe during it. Definitely check my Twitter feed because I will definitely be posting updates there.

  • So, this past week I went on a date with someone I had met on OkCupid. He seemed like a nice guy. We both came from similar backgrounds and upbringings. I ventured out and met him for a movie. We saw The Proposal (which was very goood btw) and had a very casual dinner. We really didn’t really hit it off. The whole time at dinner, he talked about his cars which, anyone that knows me know i know very little about. He dropped me off at home, there was an ackward moment of us both saying we had a good time, both not meaning it, before I got out and went inside. We really have only had a couple text messages since. It really wasn’t a big deal, I don’t see anything working out with him.

    I met yet another guy online. He seemed like a really nice guy. He works at an Apple store which excited the inner geek in me. We talked for a while. We both took a liking to one another pretty quickly. We were texting regurally which was cool. We set up a time to go out on a date this weekend. The night before the date he texted me and asked me if we were going on a date or just hanging out. I saw this as him trying to distance himself from me because he didn’t like me or something. I got really upset. It seemed like it was everything piling on top of one another. What i am looking for is someone to like me as much as I like them. That’s all. I haven’t found it yet. I had a lot of hope that this would work out better than guys in the past. He seemed to care more about me and appreciate certain things. I took it to personally when I thought he was trying to back out.

    Come to find out, he does like me. He has anxiety problems that he then told me about. He said he does want to go on a date, he simply got nervous. I felt bad that I jumped to conclusions so quickly and I apologized. Hopefully, this week we will go on a date and I can tell you all about it.

    This may be good for me. In the past, it seemed like I was always the one who really cared about the other guy and wanting to work things out. With him, it feels like an equal effort and an equal appreciateion of eachother. It’s a step along the way. We will see how it goes.

  • okcupid

    So I have a profile set up on OkCupid and something odd happened recently. I once was getting hardly any one messaging me and now there are all sorts of guys sending me messages.

    There have been some nice guys that I look forward to getting to know. There have also been a couple creepy guys (I guess it comes with the territory) but I have been able to pick up on them pretty quick.

    This dating service is great because it is free. You can look around at other peoples profile and see who has viewed yours. Go take a look if you haven’t already. It’s worth the few minutes.
