Eharmony update

Eharmony is kind of exciting. It sends me boys to judge. I can start communicating or reject. I feel bad rejecting people. But, I guess it’s what has to happen. It doesn’t happen very often to me, of course. (Enter exaggerated eye roll here) I’ve had a few rejections so far. A guy I sent opening questions to canceled the connection. I find myself justifying why I didn’t want to talk to him anyway. “You’re too tall anyway” or “You’re too old/young” or “Your abs were too sculpted and your face too beautiful and your grammar was too perfect anyway.” I have so many “open communications” that the few who have closed on me really shouldn’t matter. But of course every "closed match" stings a little. Unless he was nerdy. Then I am actually relieved that I didn't have to be the jerk who rejected him. I'll probably end up marrying some fat, boring guy just because I'd feel too bad hurting his feelings by telling him no. I am talking to a few really cool people. I’m in the beginning stages with a few guys, but have made it to the “open communication” stage with a couple. So far I’m really interested in a few guys. One I gave my number to today and we exchanged some cute texts back and forth. He’s super smart and witty. He keeps me on my toes with jokes, which is actually kind of tiring. He’s already called me “silly billy” and other sort of goofy things, which I find incredibly endearing. (Remember, I’m the one who LOVED the randomness of the pumpkin which ATC brought me. I like guys who are original and silly.) He’s supposed to call me in a few hours, so that’s kind of exciting! He wants to hang out this weekend. The second guy is kind of adorable. He was It Girl’s pick. I don’t know that I would have emailed him at first, but I’m really glad I did. He has this amazing attitude on life and is super positive, even though he has been through some pretty intense medical issues (read: he has a brain tumor!). I think we’ve been bonding over the struggling through life’s obstacles and keeping a positive outlook on life. He’s super confident, and wants to hang out this weekend. I will definitely make time for him, even though this weekend is kind of busy. Number 3 is physically the most attractive I think. He has this really cute curly hair. And he seems like a really good guy and very family oriented. He talks to his family every day, which is a plus. I am really close with my friends and family, so it’s attractive when a guy is the same way. This guys has a really good heart, so I’m excited to meet him. Number 4 is It Girl’s other choice. He had a picture of him in a green apron with a clover on it which read “I’ll shamrock your world.” She couldn’t stop laughing and made me email him back. He’s physically not my type, but he has a really kind face (in the pictures) and seems to be pretty funny, intelligent and articulate. I’ll hang out with him if he asks. I haven’t heard from the guy with the mentally handicapped brother (We’ll call him number 5) in about 2 days. Eharmony tells me to be patient if I don’t hear right back from someone. But, I’m not a patient person. I guess I wouldn’t have time for him this weekend anyway, so maybe it’s an ok thing I haven’t heard from him again. Number 6 is a really good looking brotha who is 35. We’re still in the answering questions stage, but he seems pretty cool. I’d get to know him for sure. I think that’s everyone who warrants mention at this point. I’m in the answering questions stage with a few other guys, but they haven’t piqued my interest like these guys.

In other news, last night It Girl and I did the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader workout dvd. It kicked my ass! Here I was thinking it’d be kind of tough. But no, it was intense and today I am SUPER sore. I love being sore after a workout though. It just means I actually did something. I think it turned into Bikram style Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader workout, in that, my apartment gets so hot and stuffy. I was so sweaty by the end! I think I wet my carpet with sweat. Ok, that’s a really gross visual. It wasn’t that bad. (Or was it?) The video had a few of the cheerleaders doing exercises that this drill sergeant military guy was telling them to do. He’d tell them what to do and then say “in cadence” and then like good little robots they’d respond “in cadence” which was kind of odd. The video was pretty awesome, and I actually went onto Amazon after and bought a copy. (The one I got was from Netflix, so I guess I have to return it eventually. It was only 12 bucks on Amazon. Such a great deal for this wonderfully crafted dvd!) Maybe workout dvds are cheesy, but the drill sergeant is the buffest guys I’ve ever seen, and the girls all had sick bodies! So, if this is what it takes, then so be it. In cadence.
