Dating update

Well, I saw my mystery man and we had our dates and things went really well, but there was a spark missing... so we're just going to be friends. It totally sucks because I really like him and am attracted to him and was really hoping that there would be something more. I guess things could develop, but that has never happened for me, so I'm not sure if my brain (or heart) works that way. I halfway wonder if the spark was missing because we were both just nervous, but who knows. I'll see him again soon and if we were wrong, I'm sure we'd both be willing to admit that! But for now... just friends.

As for #5, he called on Wednesday to say "hi" and catch up, but no plans to see each other before I leave on Saturday.

I'm still technically on eHarmony, but I had turned my matches off. I think I'll turn them back on and see what happens. Or maybe I should just turn it off until January. I'm paid up til 10/12, so I might as well turn them on for now.

Busy week

This week is going to be fairly busy, but good. I went walking last night with Erin & Chris. Then we went and got some free gelato that was delicious! I had the Cupido which was dark chocolate and hazelnuts. Yum, yum, yum!

Tonight - Taking Travis to the airport and then hiking
Wednesday - #5 is coming over to play Guitar Hero
Thursday - Laundry and hopefully more walking... woo-hoo! :-)
Friday - 80s Dancing with Ron & Shane
Saturday - Movie party with L&N
Sunday - Dumplings(?) and football, cleaning up the apartment.

The following weekend, I'll be seeing the mystery man (MM). So, the apartment must be cleaned since it will be his first time seeing it. So NEXT week is probably looking like this:

Monday - Cleaning, walking
Tuesday - Hiking
Wednesday - Cleaning & Games
Thursday - Dinner with MM at the beach
Friday - Dinner/Drinks with MM and friends

Somehow, sometime, over the next couple weeks, I need to squeeze in research on Paris and Germany. I've only picked out a few places to see while we're there. It's a little worrisome. And surprisingly, really, only a little. A couple years ago, I think I would've been much more stressed about not having more of an itinerary, but I guess I can take heart in that this won't be my last trip, so this might be just a fun, adventurous trip!

Dating update

Since the "downgrading" of the dating relationship with #5 to more of a friend status, we haven't talked much. Mainly because he went to Europe for a week and had to get caught up on stuff. He did call the other night and we got caught up on what's been happening with each other. He asked about the kitty cat, I asked about his trip. You know, the usual. We made no plans to get together or talk again. I figure I'll wait for him to call me. I'm still somewhat on the fence and I don't want to be the one doing the pursuing. He's the one that wants to take it slow, so he can take it as sloooow as he'd like. I will follow his lead on this.

In addition, there's someone else I'm interested in, but I have been VERY reluctant to post anything about him. For various reasons. So, I guess I'll just say this: I think I'll know better by the end of the month whether there is anything more to this than just mutual interest/curiosity. And if there is, I will most likely post about it (and him) at that time. Til then, he'll just be the mystery man. The very handsome, smart and funny mystery man...
