Robin

So, the fruits of months of okcupid labor have finally arrived: I met Robin today. It went better than I expected – definitely much better than the previous semi-random non-OD people that I’ve met. She actually seemed surprisingly nervous, but she also mentioned that she had just started taking Adderall again, so that might account for it – wikipedia mentions that nervousness can be a side effect. Right, maybe I just can’t accept that I have the ability to make a girl nervous. Though honestly, I still think the pill had more to do with it than me.

At any rate, we ended up having about an hour and fifteen minutes to hang out in between my classes, and it went by pretty quickly. Our conversation floated from everything from genetic engineering to Adolf Hitler to why okcupid says she’s a Republican. The main point is that the conversation flowed pretty smoothly, and, yeah, I do like her a bit. Understand, I don’t have the slightest romantic expectations for the whole thing and who knows if we’ll even end up hanging out again, but, hey, it was a good experience, at least.

For some reason I feel like this is a boring entry given all the build up, but I promise you that the meeting did (at least seemingly) really go well. I really have no idea if Robin “liked” me or not, but I feel like I handled myself pretty well and wasn’t unnecessarily nervous or awkward, which is all that I can control. So, I handled myself well, I really liked her, and she at least didn’t show overt signs that she didn’t like me.

It was a good start.

Yours For Now...

😀 Hooray for flowing conversation. That’s the hardest part.

Yay! Yeah, being able to talk to someone easily is always a plus. It’s part of the reason if I can stand talking to a person all night they usually become either one of my best friends or my boyfriend (or both, as my current boyfriend is one of my best friends). TTFN and have fun, ♥ Andrea

Sleeping on it

Awww, this is an entry to get all us girls making cheesy sounds at you!!! I’m excited you have a new friend or romantic possibility!

Matt, I’m worried that you are repressing your thoughts and emotions out of fear of your hopes being dashed upon the floor… I can recognize it because that is why I’m dead inside…heh heh… Anyway, admit that you at least have romantic hopes if not expectations. Admit you’re hopeful! Oh, when you get a girlfriend I’m going to be weirdly jealous.

I’m sorry for my last note. It seems obnoxious. Let’s chalk it up to my tiredness. RYN: I’m not sure… Brian avoids talking to me unless it’s really big, so he may have meant what he said. But, you’re right, even if he meant it doesn’t mean he’ll keep meaning it. Nut I think I’m at least safe for a little while. Hughug!

Our teams couldn’t play each other, we’re both the bulldogs!!!! ~I’ll be

good, matty! this is a start. it can only get easier. 🙂 *hug*

I guess I don’t really know okcupid at all. Why would it say she is a Republican? Doesn’t she have a choice as to what it says about her? I’m confused! I’m glad it went well!

Man, if I didn’t know who Robin was, I’d say she sounds a lot like me except for the social aspect. Actually, I should just say, Wow, I usually end up talking about something weird like genetic engineering during first conversations too. Then again, her field is almost the same as mine, except not as specialized nor cool. I’m glad it went well, Matt. I can officially say you’re not the same Matt

that I met when I… first met you. Haha. Um, yeah. You know what I mean. I think I’m rubbing off on you a little bit… or something. 😛 Yes, leave it to me to take all the credit. No, really, you’re doing extremely well and your teacher is VERY proud of you!

That’s awesome!

Your note made me laugh, because half way through I was thinking “Okay, either my entry wasn’t very clear or he didn’t finish reading it, because I know all this already.” Haha. Funny funny. But glad things with Robin are going well. You must have a thing for the asian girls.

Hey cutie, you’re right. Robin and I are not alike at all besides the whole majoring in Biological subjects thing. And we’re boring online. SHUT UP I AM NOT BORING ONLINE IN NOTES. I’m just boring online on AIM because I’m usually doing a million of other things at the same time. I see Heather left you a note ooooooooh. 🙂 Also, when you left your note, I kept reading it as Franky. 🙂

ryn: I agree. I just wasn’t sure and I didn’t want to go back through and read it to make sure. So I just did it as a precaution.
