Daligal83 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'm glad you're feeling better today annie. This whole dating thing can cause so much anxiety. It's one of the reasons why, even though I want to find someone, I've avoided online dating. I don't know if I could handle it. I hope you hear from him!! Link to comment
annie24 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 yeah, dating is anxiety, huh? especially when we meet someone we like. other guys i've met online and been on a date with, i could care less if they ever write again or not, if i didn't like them! i think it's nerve-wracking in the beginning of a relationship because the bond is so fragile, that saying or doing the wrong thing can make things go completely upside down! like how batya's relative told her, 'sneezing the wrong way' can destroy a new relationship, lol. i'm watching a new show on TV, it's on VH1. it's something like, "Tough Love". the host, a hunky matchmaker, has 8 women he is trying to match up. they are all beautiful, but they all have ISSUES which is why they are single (one is desperate to get married to anyone, one is a former stripper who is really intelligent, but plays up her sexuality too much, etc....). only one episode has aired so far, but i find it very interesting. there was a 'speed-dating' event and each woman had a 'speed date' with each guy, and afterwards, the guys gave their honest opinions about their first impressions about each woman. it was interesting to see what the guys liked and didn't like.

Daligal83 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 God I'd love to get that feedback. I still have no clue what really went wrong with this last guy and if I could get a little insight, it could help with the next situation (which will happen in another 6 months probably lol). It's so hard to meet people! Link to comment
annie24 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 you should watch the show!!!!! it's on VH1. Link to comment
Daligal83 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'm watching Desperate Housewives!! hahaha I know it's pathetic. See I feel like I have the opposite problem. I don't think I have any real issues, but yet I can't attract a guy. Must be something about my looks. Maybe that I look super young? The only times I'd had relationships are when I've gotten to know the guys as friends first. I've never just been approached and asked for my number or anything. Link to comment
annie24 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 yeah, obviously, some of the girls on the show are trainwrecks. 2 seemed kind of normal and down to earth, so it's not quite evident why they are single. one of them seemed rather 'forgettable' - ie, didn't really do or say anything to stand out and the guys couldn't even remember who she was.

Daligal83 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Maybe I'm the forgettable type of girl? I have an account on match, but no profile. I saw this one guy that own a local clothing store that I have a shirt from. My friend and I were shopping locally yesterday and we stopped in his shop. He was so cute!! And really nice and intelligent. I got another shirt (I love that store) and he was asking us about selling shirts in the city we're from. Almost makes me want to make an account...but then I'd just seem creepy lol. Link to comment
annie24 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 hm - why don't you chat him up? ask him to tell you more about his business, how he got the idea, etc..... Link to comment
Daligal83 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'd have to go back to the store to do that...I don't want to seem stalkerish. Link to comment
annie24 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 no - you'd be a shopper!!! Link to comment
Daligal83 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Haha but I was just there yesterday! Unless I went back on Tuesday for the last day of the sale...but am I really going to spend another $13 just to talk to him? Link to comment
annie24 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 no, but you can go and examine shirts, and tell him how creative you think they are and where did he come up with such a great idea!!! Link to comment
Daligal83 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Maybe...I'll see if I have the guts I'll wear something extra cute on Tuesday just in case haha. I did become a fan of his company on facebook...so maybe I can think of some way to contact him on there without being creepy. Like an idea for another tshirt or something. Link to comment
annie24 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 nooo!!! go and see him in person! and yes, look cute. and start chatting him up. i'm sure that he could talk for hours about his company! Link to comment
Daligal83 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yea he definitely can...I don't know how to turn that into something more though. I can only offer up my number to a guy when I'm very very drunk haha. And what if other people are there? Link to comment
annie24 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 ok - he sent me an email, we're getting drinks this week. Link to comment
Daligal83 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Yay!!!!! I'm so excited for you!! Link to comment
annie24 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 ok, we went out for drinks, got closer and closer as the night got on, we started kissing, then when he walked me home, we kissed in front of my building for a while, it was so hot. it was soooooooooooo hard not to invite him up!!!! i didn't want to go too far tonight, but omg, he is so hot, and so cuddly. i told him good night though and ran away fast before i changed my mind!

Daligal83 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Go annie!!!!! What a great night You must be on cloud nine right now. Just think, you dated all those guys on match and all you had to do to find someone was go get some coffee haha. Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 ok, we went out for drinks, got closer and closer as the night got on, we started kissing, then when he walked me home, we kissed in front of my building for a while, it was so hot.

annie24 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 he sent me a dorky little email today updating me on his progress in lab, he is such a nerd. i hope we have a date this weekend. i know he told me he will be busy in lab, but i hope i can see him at least for a bit. Link to comment
Daligal83 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 awww that's cute He's thinking about you even while he's really busy! Link to comment
annie24 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 i didn't see him this weekend, but i saw him today on the bus. i just so happened to be bringing fresh made cookies to work for my boss' birthday, so i gave him one. we talked. it sounded like he had a really stressful weekend and morning, with workstuff. we hugged goodbye, and then 10 minutes later when i got into work, i saw that he sent me an email telling me to have a good day. but i want him to ask me out again!!!! sigh. i like him. but i know he is leaving. i just have to trust that things will turn out as they are supposed to. i was jokingly (or maybe not jokingly) complaining to my dance teacher tonight that 'the love of my life is moving away in 2 months.' she said if he's really the love of your life, things will work out. and ok, she is right. if it's supposed to work out, i don't have to stress, just sit back, enjoy the ride. see what happens. i know he must be super busy trying to graduate and move (i can hardly imagine!!!) but hopefully, those plans fall through and i'll get to see him longer!

annie24 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 well, saw him again yesterday on one of our 'dorky dates.' there was an interesting seminar in my building which i told him about, and then he said it sounded good and that he would come over. he was very sweet, asking how i have been, how my day is going, etc.... afterwards, they serve some refreshments, so we sat talking, along with one of my friends. i didn't go on a 'date' with him afterwards because i already had dinner plans with my girlfriends. i told him to call me if he wanted to hang out this weekend. he asked what i was up to, said not a lot, i had to go to work, but only for a few hours in the afternoon, that was it. he said he had some work related things to do this weekend, but didn't specify when. so, hopefully he calls and makes plans!
