I14 Update

I14 have seen each other a couple times since the first meeting. He came down to my area (long drive) and we went on a harbor boat cruise to see the holiday lights. Then had dinner/sushi, and went for a drive around town. It was nice. I was up in his neighborhood that weekend, so called him; he was free and we hung out at a pool hall. He wasn't that good, he said he was distracted. I don't know. Ironically, I originally had plans to meet another new match guy who I'd been emailing for a while. But, he tried to postpone meeting, and then canceled saying he wasn't feeling well. That's another situation and will let that one go. Anyhow, I wasn't originally planning to see I14 so soon, but it just worked out that way. And, tomorrow we are going to a theme park for NYE. I am looking forward to it.

Okay, so here's my lowdown....what I don't like about I14 so far....he's tall, has a lot of shoes and glasses, and lives far away.

There's A New One!

I'm BACK! and blogging. Met up with I14 Broke the "rule" of no drinking and meeting bc it cloud's judgment. But, he suggested the pub, and I obliged. But it was good, I think, bc I kept it to a small beer.

I14 is ready to stop dating so he says, can't wait for it to be over. It was different because he has an introspective side. I can sense he thinks about things and people; not just to comment on. He said all the right things about what he values, his relationship with his friends/family, what he's looking for. There was a lot of Q & A about scenarios and situations. I was my normal "spastic" self, but I think he got it. I was brutally honest about where I was coming from and expectations from dating. How my expectations are contradictions, and I know it, but can't get away from it.

So far he seems genuine, simple, and down to earth. The down side so far (sorry I can't help it!) he drives a truck and is not "professional". I'm used to dating professionals--you know, finance, lawyer types and others who romp in that circle. He works in industry. It's just different than what I'm used to. He wants to travel, but hasn't done much. He grew up and still lives in the same area. I guess, he's just not as worldly as I'm used to, not in attitude (don't know about that yet) but in experience.

On his physical appearance/attractiveness...he's not striking/memorable like the guy from yesterday. But, I think most would say he's attractive.

I'm excited about this one, so that's good regardless. Cautious. Have to be.

Fab Party

I was invited to this fab party. The house was modern. Great place to visit, but wouldn't choose to live there. But onto the point. Met this man. He was tall and we talked all night. Something is wrong with me. Because, I found him attractive, interesting and engaging. Yet, I couldn't open up to him. I went to bed thinking about him, and woke up thinking about him. I think I just like the attention? I mean, when you meet someone attractive and interesting, shouldn't I be all over him to want to learn more about him? Do I want him to pursue me? When he said goodbye, he shook my hand. I figure we could contact each other through the party hosts. Do I want that? Does he? I have in my head the reasons he's not perfect, but....there's something bothering me about how I reacted to him.

Oh, at this party there was a 27 yr old guy, T. Turns out I had randomly met him about a year ago. I was waiting for a restaurant to open, and he was waiting outside too, and we chatted for a couple minutes. That was it. He was attractive, which is why I remembered him. At the party, he was like, "good memory". I was like, "of course, look at you! Who wouldn't remember?"

Family Trip to Belize

There was a little flirting in Placencia. I didn't couldn't quite let go and flirt given the situation, but I could have, should have. At night we hung out at the bars and met the locals. They were fun. The Barefoot is an outdoor bar. I felt like I was in a movie. Tropical breezes, drinks flowing. All that was needed was a hot guy to walk by. The winds picked up, it started to rain and get cold. We met people, who we ran into again the next day. It could have turned into something fun, but I was very guarded and couldn't even think to let go. It could have been more fun, but I didn't let it. Am I too in control? Not cut loose. I mean, why bother because we were only there a couple nights. But, it could have been fun. Instead, it was half fun:(
