There isn’t really much to report since last week. Woody and I have started drifting apart and I’m ok with that. After doing some major over thinking, I’ve come to the conclusion that we might be better friends. He had a lot of hang-ups about my job and future admissions. I can’t help that and I’m at a point in my life where I don’t want to sacrifice my career. This may change later on in my life but right now…it’s a deal breaker.
But not to worry…I have a few fellas out there I’m chatting with. Some seem more promising than others but I never turn down a free dinner. If my grandmother had said no to my grandfather, I wouldn’t be here. I will let you know how the new guys unfold.

The Revolving Door
Things have crashed and burned a little since my last post. I'm not really in a place right now to rehash it. Sorry!
On to the very long story but shortened...
Buzz broke it off with me. He said he found someone he was more compatible with and that gave him the attention he wanted. This didn't sit well with me, at first, but I'm over it. I wish him the best with no harm feelings.
Woddy and I are still talking. He isn't sure how he feels and wants to take things slow. While taking things slow, he still wants to see other people. Its more complicated than that but you get the idea. I'm still trying to figure out if I want to wait or not. Right now I'm waiting... next week I might be done. You all know by now that I can change my mind at the drop of a hat.
I will keep you updated on the revolving door that is my love life!

He Likes Me…He Likes Me Not…He Likes Me?
Last night was my second date with Woody. We went to dinner then watched a movie at his house. He spent all day cleaning his apartment and he even gave his dog a bath. He bought dinner and beer after. He opened my car door and held my door open. He always asked if I needed anything and was really sweet. We had a great time. The conversation was good and I felt comfortable. I even liked his dog! I’m not a dog person at all but she was so sweet. He said she really “took” to me. Anyway I left his house at 3:00 this morning. He walked me out to my car and we hugged. Yes, hugged…twice. They were good hugs, both arms with a little squeeze. I thought for sure the second hug was going to end in a kiss but I was mistaken. After the last hug, I said goodbye to his dog. She licked my face and I made a smart comment I wanted to take back. I said “I think Bently likes me more than you do”. I laughed and he said “ouch”. That wasn’t the response I was looking for and I felt bad for saying it. I texted him when I got home to let him know I was home, that I had a good time, and thank you. He said he was starting to worry about me and that I was welcome. I tried to cover up the Bently comment and he said “haha it’s cool”. I left it at that. He texted me this morning around 9:30am just to say good morning. We’ve been texting back and forth all day.
I keep questioning if he actually likes me likes me. I mean I think he does but the whole not kissing things is what has been throwing me off. My friends keep telling me to hang in there and that he is just taking it slow. I’m not used to it taking it slow so I’m kind of freaking out (surprising…I know). I just need some kind of reassurance that he likes me likes me. I think I’m going to give it one more date before I say something.
On a side note… Buzz and I are going out tonight. I’m looking forward to the uncomplicated side of things and possibly a little making out. I’m not sure how far things are going to go with Robbie but I’m willing to see it out a little longer.

Woody and Buzz
I've finally come up with nicknames from date#1 and date#2... Buzz and Woody (yes from Toy Story).
Buzz aka date #1 is trying to move things along very quickly. He has made his feelings known and that he likes spending time with me. He doesn't say much but has a presence about him. He's a simple guy and I think I need some of that. We went to dinner and a movie on Sunday. After the movie we walked around this outdoor mall/park near the movie theater. The mall/park has live music during the summer so we decided to sit and listen. It was really great. I enjoyed just sitting and being with him. We didn't have to talk or do anything, just be with each other.
On my way home, I got a call from Woody aka date #2. We talked about our weekends and other various subjects... 4 hours later we got off the phone. There is just something about him, I really enjoy talking to him. I would like to think he enjoys talking to me...I mean one would like if he stayed on the phone with me for 4 hours. We talked a little about seeing each other again. He said I had to pick the place. I'm a little nervous but I have some ideas brewing. I talked to him this morning for a few hours on gchat. Again great conversation with some playful banter in there too. At the end of the conversation he asked me to text him when I got off work. I'm curious. I'm having trouble reading him. I think we have connection but he isn't giving me any signs...he moves VERY slow and considers himself "old-fashioned".
They are very different from each other but I like them both. Why can't I just smash them together and make one guy. Oh well...story of my life.

A Twofor
Okay...about the dates.
Date#1 We met for happy hour and had a few drinks. He was super nervous but I thought it was cute. The conversation was a little slow at first but it got better as the night went on. We talked more about our jobs and the different things we like to do. Overall, I had a nice time. We talked about seeing each other again and talking over the weekend. We hugged goodbye and I got a little peck. He called me today to see how I was doing. He's sweet and I think I need that.
Date#2 I rushed home from date#1 and changed clothes. Date#2 and I had dinner with drinks. He was taller than I thought and had a great voice. We had great conversation and I felt comfortable around him. We were at the restaurant for almost 4 hours! We parted ways with a hug and a joke. I left the date wondering if he wanted to see me again, he is very hard to read. He texted me to see if I made it home okay. We walked a few times today and I finally just asked me outright what he thought about last night. He said "I had a good time, conversation seemed natural.I'm assuming your situation is like mine with maybe a few other users that you're talking to as well, etc... As far as going out again, I'm certainly open to it!Conversation is really important to me, so I thought last night was impressive". I thought this was a good response. He keeps me on my toes and I find that every attractive...I do love me a good challenge.
I'll keep you updated!

To Get A Date, All You Need Is A Date
In an attempt to move on from Mr.Clean, I started looking around the dating site again. I found two perspective men... date#1 and date#2. I know the nicknames are very unoriginal but I'm still trying to think of good ones. Here's the background info on the fellas...
Date#1- He is a 29 year old nurse that works the night shift at a hospital in Middletown. He seems like a nice guy and he isn't afraid to pick up the phone and call me. He has a very sweet face and Grandma always said that was a good thing. No kids and no ex-wives. I've been trying to go out with Date #1 for a few weeks but our schedules have not been matching up. We finally found a time this week that worked for both of us...last night. We spoke on Sunday and made plans...drinks at The Greene. I was really looking forward to it especially will all the crap with Mr.Clean.
Date#2- He is 27 year old lawyer who is attempting to start his own law practice. All of our communications have been online or through text. He is very sarcastic but I like that. He can dish it out and take it. We've chatted everyday for the last week or so. No kids and no ex-wives. I wasn't sure where things were going with Date#2. We talked all the time and I really enjoyed our conversations. There was some flirting but I couldn't really tell...he is really hard to read. Out of the blue on Monday he asked me to dinner. I told him things were tight this week because of my birthday and friends coming into town this weekend. He asked about Thursday and I said yes late Thursday would work.
Yes...I booked two dates on one night. I don't know why I did it...it just kind of happened. I told date #1 I had a work thing so I had to do drinks early. Date #2 didn't want to meet until later so I was still good. I felt bad about lying to date#1 but I wanted to see them both.
I'll post about the dates later...don't worry.

So Just Leave The Pieces When You Go...
Things aren't going well with Mr.Clean. The last time I saw him (May 29) we had a "mini-talk". I thought the talk went well and that we were on the same page. We aren't bf/gf but we discussed not seeing over people. I thought we were in a good place. I talked to him a few days later about his weekend and possibly getting together before I went out of town last weekend. We were on track to make plans when he disappeared again. He sent me a message on the dating site saying he broke his phone and that's why he hadn't called or texted. I took a deep breath and responded back. I attempted to be understanding and not act hurt. I invited him to my birthday dinner on Wednesday and asked him to call me. He logged in on Monday but never returned my message. He didn't show up to dinner or even wish my a happy birthday on Wednesday. He hasn't logged on and I haven't heard from him.
There are a million things running through my head right now. If he wanted to end it, then why didn't you say that in the message Sunday? I wasn't expecting a present or anything major for the b-day but I would have liked a call or text. I feel so stupid for falling for him and doing this to myself again. I've thought about calling or texting him to see what's up. It's the hanging on that's killing me. I really just want to know if he is in or out.
"And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry 'bout this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road
There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go"
