Musings from a woman scorned...

Some people in Cat’s and my office think they’re so smart. Little do they know who they’re dealing with! And one may think that this would make me cease my blog, but no, I am not going to let the likes of these two jokesters ruin my blog!

I know it’s been a long time, but I don’t have internet connection at my house anymore so I haven’t had the chance to blog in awhile.

Here’s the short and long of what’s been going on.

Last week I thought I had three potential summer BF’s, but, true to form, I now have zero. Oh well, isn’t that how it always goes?

Last weekend I went on stage to get hypnotized by a hypnotist that comes around to the local comedy club ever two or three months. It was pretty fun. It’s the type of show where he hypnotizes a couple of people and makes them act crazy. Well, there was a pretty cute guy up there who was in the Marines. We were sitting next to each other and acting foolish with one another. When the show was over, I ran down to Cat and another friend we were with and suggested that we get the Marine to come out with us that night! Cat, who is never the shy one, found him and told him that her friend, the one that was up there, wanted to meet him. Well, we hung out that Friday night, and then again Sunday night. He spent the night both times (yikes! I know! But nothing happened, I swear, purely PG-13) and the next week he was calling, wanting me to come visit this weekend coming up. He is super cute, he’s an officer (I must be sending out the signals for Officers after Major Dad), I haven’t laughed that hard in years, and he is one good snuggler, I will tell you what! So, there’s Summer Boyfriend Potential 1.

SBP2 is CJ. My friend from work set it up so that we had a quasi-double date. And it was a lot of fun. I feel like CJ thinks I’m cute. I mean, I’m not that dumb, I can tell when guys are into me, and I felt like I was getting the vibe, but I don’t know. He hasn’t asked for my number or made any other moves. I can’t be making the first move around these dunderheads, or else I’ll be initiating everything our whole relationship. If the guy can’t be man enough in the beginning, then when can he be?

SBP3 is Engineer from eH. He gave me his real email address a little while ago, and we’ve been emailing for over a month now! His emails are still super cute and fun to read. And in fact, we had a cute little banter where he was asking if I had any secret talents. I told him something about how I didn’t think I did, and I was feeling very un-special and needed to call my mom for some ego boost. Well, in his next email he said he didn’t know if it was a secret talent or not, but my emails made him laugh and are “way entertaining to read and that should count for something.” Haha, he loves me! But I will admit, writing him emails is a stressful process. I take time and energy making sure they’re the right mix of wit and seriousness. (Unlike this blog, which my first draft goes to publishing, and is more of stream of consciousness).

Ok, now that I’ve set the stage for the SBP’s, let’s explain how they all quickly turned into nothing.

The Marine is 24 and ridiculous. Just out of control, wild, and while that would be fun for the weekend to go down and visit and go out with a bunch of officers (you know I would be in hog heaven in that situation), he’s just too unreliable. He called me Sunday and said he thought he may have to work through the weekend. Well, Maxi ain’t no fool. I knew what was up. I told him “well, should we just cancel now?” He said “no, I want to see you, it’s just that I may not be able to let you know until Friday.” Uh huh. I see. So, I told him that I didn’t think I had any plans yet, but if I got an offer, I would take it, and if not, and he wasn’t working, I’d still like to come. Because honestly, I wanted to lay out and get tan, and I wanted to go out and party with the 24 year old officers! But he called last night, and confirmed he had to work. I let him know I figured as much, and hadn’t been holding my breath. I think that’s the last I’m going to hear from him. I guess he found some other lady the other weekend that he fancies better. How that is possible, of course I don’t know, but that’s what I think is going on.

SBP2 just isn’t that into me I don’t think. I mean, on one hand, I think I’m getting the vibe from him, but on the other, he’s not making any moves that would suggest that he is into me. I’m not going to suggest to my friend that we meet up or anything like that again. If something happens, or if he wants to get proactive, then fine, but otherwise, he’s officially crossed off my SBP list.

SBP3 is the biggest dunderhead of all! He’s not making any suggestions that we meet in real life, and while I am thoroughly enjoying the email banter, it can only go on for so long. I have a feeling this will fade away by two weeks time.

This will be my last eH update I think. Yesterday, I emptied out my account. I still have a month on it, but hadn’t been receiving matches for over a month. I signed up mainly to see what was going on, but I wasn’t impressed. I think I can still do it the old fashioned way. I closed out everyone, including fun fat, the guy that doesn’t know how to spell his own name, and a couple of other random ones. My final count is 143 closed matches. (I technically left Engineer open though, just because I thought that would be weird). I received these matches in about a month and felt like the quickly got out of control. I think I’ll hold off into foraying back into online dating until after I’m 30. I think that’s the age where I’ll be less likely to be petrified that every time I go out, I’m going to run into someone that “knows.”

Hopefully I’ll have some good updates on SBP 2 or 3 (or even 4+) soon!

xoxo, Maxine
