Day 59 - Embrace Life

So, since joining the dating site, I have been on dates with two different men.  The first one, I’ll call Tom.  He is from Michigan, which is why I initially wanted to meet him.  We went to a sandwich shop in Durham and later had a lot of fun just walking around the Brightleaf district.  I don’t think I have laughed as hard as I did that evening since, well, the heartbreaker left the U.S.  For those of you who do not know who the heartbreaker is, message me and I’ll give you his name.  Anyway, I had a really awesome time with Tom, but the problem is that I am just not attracted to him.  He is sweet, hilarious, entertaining and tons of fun, just not attractive – at all.  I feel really awful saying that, but I am not willing to tip-toe around the truth anymore.  I told him that I would only like to be friends, and apparently that is not the answer he’d hoped for, because I haven’t heard from him since.  The second one, we’ll call Jake.  He is from all around, but mostly North Carolina and he is hott.  Yes, with two t’s.  He took me out in Roxboro a couple of weeks ago and then again last weekend, but the problem with this guy is that he never shuts up!  I honestly thought I would never meet a guy who talks more than I do, but alas! I am wrong.  The guy seriously talks just to talk and even interrupted me on our first date!  Then, on our second date, he interrupted me not once, but twice (maybe more, but I just stopped talking at all after awhile).  He seems really sweet, and he is very attractive, so I am giving him one more chance – this week.  We shall see how that goes.

 

Next topic of discussion is my camera.  This week, it bit the dust and soon will be in camera heaven, aka-the trash.  I need a camera, for the Etsy thing and for my kiddos, so I did lots and lots of research this week and ended up ordering the Olympus FE-4030 at Best Buy today.  The sales guy who helped me was really funny and obviously flirting with me for the hour or so that I was searching and comparing, and I’m not sure what to do about him.  His name is Chris and I think this might be strange, but I would like to go back and talk to him again when I pick up my camera in a week or so.  Clearly this interaction would be for no other reason than to flirt with him additionally, and possibly score a number or a date, so…any suggestions or apprehensions from anyone?  I tried facebooking him earlier and apparently sent too many Chris’ the same message in a very short amount of time, so facebook has disabled my ability to message people.  This can last for a few hours to a few days.  Apparently I am officially a stalker.

 

Tonight, Grey, Tyson and I are hitting up the fine drinking establishment known as Dalton’s.  This should, at the very least, be a very entertaining evening.  I would say that I will post pictures later, but my new camera will not arrive until October 10^th.  I will talk with you all later, as I had planned on doing lesson plans today, but got absolutely nothing accomplished, so that and laundry are on my agenda for tomorrow…all day.  Have a good weekend ya’ll.

Peace.

<3 Meg

HAHAHAHA omg facebook blocked you as a creepy stalker!? Wow Meg. Bonus points! Giving the hott guy another chance won't change the fact that he's an incessant talker. He's gonna be that way on every chance you give him! But is it better than someone who doesn't like talking???? Hmmm. Food for thought.

Yes, I was blocked. I am currently able to message again though. Also, I think I know this, but I'm trying to give him a third-try. Hopefully Best Buy Chris is single! I have to go back next week, and I'm going to call ahead and see if he's working when I go in. :) Clever me.
