That Was Nice

I was on Caltrain today.  This guy sitting across the aisle from me said, "You are incredibly beautiful and I just had to tell you that" as he was getting off the train.  That was nice.  No, I don't think he was hitting on me.  He blurted it and ran off, LOL

Boston

On my way back from Boston.  Needed a break.

Uneventful

Dinner with New Leaf Guy was uneventful and boring.  Suffice it to say, I'm quite sure I'm over him (or this is PMS talking, think it's more A than B).  I'm glad I went.  Whatever I saw in him or thought I saw in him is gone.

A Terrible Idea

This a terrible idea.  I agreed to go to dinner with New Leaf Guy.  He can thank all my recent lukewarm dates.

Probably Go

New Leaf Guy brought me lunch yesterday.  We talked for 20 minutes.  Although I know I was very angry about some things months ago, I don't feel the anger anymore.

He asked me out to dinner.  I'll probably go.

Lunch Today

Work has been really busy.  New Leaf Guy wants to see me really badly.  So, I'll let him bring me lunch today.  He knows I can't see him for more than 20 minutes and he still insists on coming by the office.

Today's Bagel

It's still a small world and Coffee Meets Bagel hasn't been very good or interesting for me.  Today's bagel, someone I went on a date with five years ago.  LOL

Say Nothing

I don't check Tinder very often.  I tried to be better at it, didn't work.  One of my matches said, "Hi!"  Two weeks later he said, "It's f*cking rude to ignore me," but he didn't unmatch me (which I thought was unusual because he could have done just that instead of being an *sshole).  Also, he could totally see that I haven't logged in for two weeks if he wanted to check.  Nevertheless, I unmatched him.

I think people could be a bit nicer (or just not nasty) when interacting with others (not just in the dating arena, this is in general).  If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing, and move on.  I'd love to tell every *sshole I encounter exactly what I think of them, but I don't.  It's called being an adult.

Still Ruminating

Still ruminating.  Sh*t, this New Leaf Guy thing.

A part of me feels like I've already wasted way too much of my life and energy on him.  Another part of me knows that I really liked him.  And I was angry, very angry because it didn't seem like he was interested enough.  I thought he was starting to treat me like garbage.  I felt like he was screwing with me (and perhaps he was to try to get a reaction, as revenge, whatever other possibilities).  Male friends have told me that they do things to get a reaction in order to see if a woman cares.  I don't think anyone should try to make someone else want to kill.

I don't know why, but I don't get the sense he is screwing with me now.

Do I want to get sucked into this again?  No.  Does part of me still like him?  Very likely.  Am I still angry about things that happened months ago?  No, a lot of time has passed; I know what he did, but I don't feel the fury anymore.

Did She Try To Kiss Me?

Did she try to kiss me?  I think one of my girl friends tried to kiss me tonight.  I thought she liked guys!  Perhaps she likes both?  Definitely a night for the adventure log.

Job Opportunity

Happy Labor Day!

I'm thinking about getting a new job.  I've mentioned this to guys I meet at networking meetups.  I find it quite humorous when guys contact me about a job opportunity and want to discuss in person, which then turns out to be a date.  If we even discuss the potential job for 15 minutes and it goes somewhere, I don't mind being hoodwinked (as much).  I just wouldn't agree to meet him again unless I was interested.

Sh*t Sh*t Sh*t

I just received first class tickets for a weekend getaway to Seattle from New Leaf Guy for after he gets back from his work travel later this month.  He said if those dates don't work, we can find a better weekend.  Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, I don't know what to do.  I was so angry with him months ago.  I swore him off!

As we know, with time, we forget how angry we were and remember the good more than the bad (I don't know about you, but I do this).  Since his facebook games didn't work, this is his new angle?  I know this is his idea of a grand gesture.  It does seem like he is trying.
 
I've been on some very uninspiring dates recently, which makes this even more tempting.  Well, that and the fact that I know I liked him.  I don't like many of the men I meet.

Tonight's Dinner Date Recap

I went on a dinner date tonight.  We met online and he was a very very nice guy.  I didn't feel any spark though.  It felt like a really long date.  I kept thinking to myself, is dinner over yet?  I also felt like I was talking to one of my girl friends, not a potential romantic interest.  If he asks me out again, I think I should give him another shot because he was very nice.

Date Thursday Night

Date with a new guy Thursday night.  He's in his late 40s or early 50s.  Yes, I am sticking to my date older idea.
