This weekend

I had a very eventful dating weekend. I didn’t find my dream man, but it was good times nonetheless. On Friday, #1 was supposed to call after his conference call. No call. You mean, a guy didn’t call when he said he would?! Shocker, I know. I went over to It Couple’s house and we ordered in sushi. It was so good! I have been craving sushi something fierce lately, so it was nice to have my fix. We bought pumpkins to carve also. #1 finally texted and asked if we were still carving pumpkins. I responded that we were and that he was welcome to come join us. He actually did. A little while later, he came over to their house. It was kind of awkward at first. We hadn’t even had a phone conversation, but now we were hanging out with my best friends. I didn’t feel the connection with him, but maybe because it was awkward. He was really good looking, and definitely the body type I go for (about 5’10 and pretty thin). And he was wearing a sweater vest! I love a good sweater vest! He was really smart and tried to convince me all night to go into corporate law. We had some really good conversations and, as It Girl said, he did a real good job of focusing on me, even though the other 2 were there. He even defended my really crappy pumpkin that the others made fun of. He left after a couple hours and said that he hoped to see me again soon. With a hug, he left. It was pretty cute. He texted me an hour later and said he had a really great time and he couldn’t wait to hang out again and to have fun tailgating the next day. I thought that was cute too. I’m not sure if the chemistry was there, but I’ll hang out again if he asks. Attention from a cute boy is never a bad thing, even if there’s no spark.

On Saturday, I spent all day at USC. Literally all day. I got there at 10am. The game was at 5. It was a really fun tailgate. I hung out with my parents and then everybody showed up. One of the families has a son who lives near me and I am kind of friends with. He brought a guy with him who lives in my apartment complex and is a personal trainer. He has a gym literally across the street from me. He said he’s going to be my new personal trainer and he’s going to get me a killer body. He wants to take me grocery shopping and throw away all of my bad food. Maybe I’ll hide my chocolate when he comes over. He can put me on a diet, I just don’t know if I’ll stick to it. He was really nice and full of energy though. I guess that’s good in a personal trainer. My buddy who came to the game with me showed up a little later. He’s a really, really good guy. He has a girlfriend who I don’t think deserves him. I think he can do better. But, I’m real protective of all of my friends. I just think the world of this guy. My parents were saying that I should date him, but that just wouldn’t work. I love him as a friend, but there would be way too many issues with us ever dating. Even if he didn’t have a girlfriend. Of course, my parents also said that I should date one of my brother’s buddies, so I think they’ve been hitting the crack pipe. Yes, his buddy is awesome, but I’m so not his type of girl. I don’t drink enough beer. And, he’s one of my brother’s best friends, so I can’t imagine he’d be stoked on the idea. The buddy is a good guy. One of the best actually. One of those guys that you just love being around, cause you never know what will happen. I hope he does find a good girl. I have to approve of her though. And, that’ll be hard, cause I don’t think very many girls are good enough for my brother or any of his friends. Oh, but the icing on the cake is that like 4 people told me how good I looked yesterday. One of my dad’s friends said I looked like a total babe (not in a creepy way). He said that whatever I was doing, I should keep it up. I think I just brushed my hair for the game. Go me.

So, I left the game early and came back down to the OC to meet It Girl for the movie Paranormal Activity. #2 from eharmony met us. (He’s the one with the brain tumor) I was really excited to meet him. We chatted on the phone earlier that day and he’s really nice. He met us at the theater. He was really nice in person. But, I knew right away I wasn’t attracted to him. But how do you tell a guy who’s been through so much and has such a positive outlook that you’re not into him? We watched the movie and after I kind of rushed through an awkward goodbye. He texted me this morning saying how much fun he had. (Seems to be a common theme that guys text to say they had fun. But, I dig that, so it’s all good.) He knew that I had plans for a waffle brunch, so he said he hoped it was good and that he was jealous he wasn’t there. I think he was hoping I would invite him. He then texted me a few hours later and asked what I was up to and if I wanted to hang out. I decided to be straight forward. “I don’t want to lead you on…I don’t feel a romantic connection. But I do hope we can be friends!!” I know that’s harsh, but what else was I to say? I didn’t want to just not respond. He is the nicest guy. I just know that I don’t want to date him. I would actually love to be friends with him! He would just be such a nice person to have around in a friendship capacity. He wrote me back that he was just really shy at first, but that he would still like to be friends. That’s good. I really do hope that we can remain in contact and stuff. And, if he ever needed a ride to chemo, I would take him. He said that most times he just takes himself. How sad is that? I wish I could be attracted to him, cause he’s adorably nice. But, nope.

I didn’t play on eharmony at all yesterday. Today I came on and 3 guys that I really think are cool emailed me. The guy with the curly hair emailed me a really, really cute email. I’m really excited to meet him now! He’s super good looking, and seems really nice. And he thinks I’m funny, so that’s a plus. A lot to live up to though. I’ll have to work on my witticisms. He’s from Connecticut. I think I dig East Coast guys. And he has a masters in economics, so he’s real smart. Can you tell I’m excited to meet him? One of my girlfriends said that she could never date a guy with curly hair because it makes her think of pubes. I don’t think I’ll have that problem. He’s adorable! The other 2 are cool too. One is the good looking brotha, but he’s 35. That may be a tad old for me, because I’m super immature. And one is a guy from Chicago who is working on 2 masters degree and has a BA in engineering. Smartie. He also seems hilarious. A few other guys I’m communicating with. But, right now I’m most excited about the curly haired guy. I would cancel on the Tuesday night guy for Mr. Curly Hair. That’s mean, but it’s true. He’s cute enough that I would give up a free fancy dinner. That cute.
