Guess who I heard from last night?

That's right, the Greek.

At 8:39 PM I got a text "Hey"

That was it.

I didn't write back. He's the one that said farewell to me. I don't need the dramz.

Plus, on Saturday night I kissed a boy and I liked it.

No number exchange or anything... there really was no opportunity. He's the brother of a friend. Which normally is a no no, but her and I aren't really friends. We share friends. Plus she effed my cousin last year so it evens out if I kiss her brother. Said friend lost her purse and the night was ruined. Brother drove us all home and I got a hand grab as I was exiting the vehicle. Not sure what will happen next. If anything.

Sigh.

Almost two whole days...

So it's almost been 2 whole days (we're probably coming up on 48 hours right now) since I've heard from the Greek.

I logged onto the dating site and lo and behold there is an email. All it says:

"this sucks...now that i have so much free time u r not going to be around....and its st patricks day tonight..."

Should I write back? I feel bad, but seriously he's crazy. Does he at least deserve an explanation?

Happy St. Patty's Day! I celebrated enough this past weekend. Taking it easy tonight.

No more Greek...

Ok so last Tuesday the Greek and I decided to meet up for drinks. We had chatted a bit via text message over the few days prior to the second date. Date one to date two was 6 days. I drive down and meet him at a bar in his neighborhood.

Order drinks (Heineken for him, Hoegarden for me). Sit at a little table in the front. Conversation went well.

At one point I got up and went to the ladies room. While I was there a woman who was part of a couple at the table next to us asked him if he was on [insert name of large dating sight here]. He says no. She asks about another less popular, kinky site. He says no. Then tells her the site he is actually on. She asked him if we met on there. He said no. Turns out that couple was on their first date from [insert name of big dating website].

Then the lady goes on to tell him that she's a psychic and can tell them I am really into him. First of all, that's weird. Second of all I wasn't that into him. I honestly probably act more interested in people than I am. And around people that I actually am interested in, I pretty much ignore them. Like the dude from work.

I digress.

I didn't think I was showing that much interest. In my mind I didn't see anything serious with this, but I was having fun. I thought it could be a fun casual thing.

We were there for a couple of hours. He walked me to my car and there was a little smooch. He wasn't a great kisser but he was far from bad. I didn't feel major sparks but I was smiling when I left. I took that as a good sign.

The next night, Wednesday, I went out to late dinner with my cousin. I told him I was going to do this. I also told him that I had friends coming to town this weekend and a all day event on Saturday and that I was babysitting my niece on Sunday. So E & I are out to dinner. Sitting at the bar waiting for my table when I get a text. I saved them all to write on here.

He says: I dont expect u to text me all the time...But I like being shown some interest 2...I know u wanna take it slow but I just wanna know how ur exactly taking this...Are we only gonna be talking whenever we hang out? Just curious...I really like u, I just wanna know whats up, thats all

Mind you this is less than 24 hours after we hung out.

I said

He said: Well we dont really...U dont have any messengers, u r always busy at work, even after work u dont text that much, i dunno...i hope it gets better thats all.

That really turned me off, but to prove a point the next day I texted him after work to say hi. Like hey whats going on kind of thing. I told him I was exhausted (true) and was going to make it an early night. So a few texts like that go back and forth.

About an hour after that he says: Is there anything else in ur mind ud like to tell me maybe? Just curious...

I said: Like what?

He said: Anything really... I just wanna hear from u, like ur news, whatever is going on... Unless u dont want to. I care, that's all. Ur too quiet, r u always like that or do you expect me to fuck up just like the other guys and ur keeping ur distance? Then again if im annoying u, u should tell me that too.

Are you readers annoyed yet? Because I am!

I said something like I had work today, then I made dinner and last night I went out with E and we had a nice time.

He said: I really dont want a full report of ur day, ur missing the point. Anyway, im not rushing either, it just seems like ur forced to say hi sometime, like that u have to.

I said something to the effect that he can't make me feel bad if I don't text him all the time. I have no privacy at work and can't be texting all the time.

Im not trying to make u feel bad at all, just trying to figure out how to work this and go with your pace i guess.

I said something like I can't win. He gives me crap if I do text him or if I dont.

Lol nvm, im not getting anywhere. Disregard all this. If you only knew how much I like you.

End of that conversation.

When we were out he asked if I could see him this Friday. I couldn't give him a definite answer because I had friends coming and I wasn't sure when. I didn't want to leave him hanging on a weekend. Friday he text messages me like I thought I was going to see you. Ugh. I said misunderstanding. He said ok don't drink and drive. So I guess he wasn't mad.

Saturday night, just after midnight I get a text: So since u havent said hi all day, hello.

I don't respond, I'm out. At this point I had been drinking for 12 hours.

Yesterday, Sunday he calls me at 4:55 PM. I don't answer for 2 reasons. One being that I am babysitting and the other that I don't want to talk to him. No message. At 5:06 PM I get a text: Hey...I wish u good luck with everything...Maybe were looking for diff things...I would at least appreciate a text or something...I know u r busy with ur friends and all, i am too... But yea, maybe down the road would be different..Take care.

6:07 PM: U have nothing to say? That was easy.

6:26 PM I say: It looks like we're on different wave lengths. I'm sorry this isn't going to work out.

THE END

PS: I'm not rereading this now because it gives me a headache so I apologize for bad grammar and typos.

Question: Do you think this is the last time I am going to hear from him?

To answer your questions....

A little bit, but I'm trying to just relax. I think I could kiss him.

The goomba lives in your hood.

He works at a university in an office. He's studying there for his masters (graduating this year) and will work full time upon getting his diploma. He lives with his bro & future sister in law (they foot the bill while he's in school). He's 26. His parents moved back to Greece 5 months ago. No kids. 6'1".

Not sure about next time. Meaning where.

Hug hello and goodbye.

He wore, jeans, shoes, casual button down, casual jacket (but dressy), he was dressed up and casual at the same time if that makes sense. And a messenger bag. And he smelled really nice!

Third guy's a...?

So... last night I finally met up with the Greek at a coffee shop near where he lives. It's actually not too far away from me. No traffic, about 10 minutes. He was going to study afterwards so it just made sense.


I had to work late and missed yoga, so I wasn't too gross (just normal gross), but was able to go home and eat dinner so that worked out.



He was standing outside the place when I got there. Very cute! Cuter than in the pictures. I was a little frazzled at first because there was some weirdo guy I felt like wasn't sharing the sidewalk properly. Plus I had on huge heels and was afraid I would slip and eat the floor.


So we go in an order (he gets a white mocha, a cappuccino for myself). And sit down. It was like where do you want to sit? I don't care where do YOU want to sit?

So we sit and it's a cute little place, small, not crowded it all. Conversation was really good. A few slow parts, but that's to be expected. I felt really comfortable around him and not like a stranger. Like some people are socially awkward and that's why they sign up for Internet dating, but he didn't seem that type (like me). He was cute, fun, funny, smart, goofy. He reminded me a little bit of a certain Goobma I used to work with. Not in the looks area, but certain silly mannerisms.

We decided to go out again on Tuesday. So nothing crazy to report back, but I think that's a good thing. Afterwards he texted me that he had fun and thought I was great and so pretty. I just hope he doesn't come on too strong because you know how I am!

Weigh-In

Last night marked the end of week one (plus a day) of Weight Watchers.

Down 3.2 pounds. It also brought me into another weight bracket. For example if I weighed 132 pounds (I don't) and lost 3, I would now be in the 120s at 129.

So I lose a point, but who cares! If I can loose these 8 pounds I will be in a weight category that I haven't been in in ages. Maybe since Vegas 2005.

Looks like tomorrow is the day...

To meet the Greek!

He said that next Tuesday would work for me. I said it would work for me too. Then he asked if I had time tonight to meet for a quick coffee. I said no. Even though I do. Well not really.

He asked tomorrow if I had a little bit of time. I said that I have yoga until 6:30. So I'm going to meet him after yoga. Problem is I could be a little gross. How do I go from my original first date attire of a dress and heels to sweatpants and a pony tail? I gave him the heads up and he doesn't care, but weird right?

What can I do at work to prep myself? Wash my face and reapply light makeup... brush hair into nice pony instead of the rat's nest it usually looks like after working out... pin bangs back... is that all I can do?

First Time For Everything

So last night marked my first "intimate encounter" request.

Do you know you can mark your account to block people from contacting you if they've previously contacted someone else for sex only? Well you can, and I did, because really that's not what I'm looking for. But some people, understandably, are.

So he emailed me asking if I would like to get together to just fool around. Or is it not my thing?

I'm 50% grossed out and 50% flattered.
