It’s A Sad S.A.D. Day…
Happy Single Awareness Day everyone. I haven’t had to celebrate this "holiday" since 1996. I’m full of mixed emotions about today.
I got a text today from Kevin telling me happy valentine’s. After a few brief exchanges, he asked what I had planned tonight. My plans tonight consist of me hanging out with my friend Lindsay and her husband. We are going to go see a zombie love story at a burger joint. But I just told Kevin that I was having dinner with a friend. He proceeded to tell me about how his date was canceled tonight because the guy turned out to be a psycho. It seems this guy accused Kevin of sleeping around with a bunch of different guys and calling him a liar when he said where he was. I asked him how long they were dating to cause him to become so possessive like that and he said they’ve only been on 2 dates. I’m curious to know if they were "dating" while I sleeping in his bed, but I didn’t ask. I’m sure the answer is yes… Anyway, after he told me all this, I felt a little happy. I was happy that he was having such a shitty day and that someone was treating him badly. I wanted to tell him that is what he gets for breaking up with me since I would have treated him much better, but I didn’t. After what happened last time, it’s much easier to not become a victim to his charms.
I do have a Valentine’s date, though it’s not going to happen until this Saturday. I’ve been talking to a guy named Jason from Dallas. We met in Houston a few weeks ago while I was job hunting. He’s a really nice guy, has a great job, and seems to really be interested in me. He’s not much in the looks department, but he’s far from ugly. I guess the only thing I don’t like about his appearance is that he bleaches his hair. I don’t think a 40 year old guy should bleach their hair…but that’s just my opinion. While we were in Houston, we had dinner and had a great time. We’ve continued chatting on occasion and he expressed interest in possibly dating. He seems nice enough and has a great personality, so I agreed. He’s coming to town on Saturday and we’re gonna go to dinner and then back to his hotel room and watch a movie.
I’ve also been chatting with a really nice guy from New Orleans named Scott. He’s finishing up his Master’s Degree in Architecture. We’ve chatted online quite a bit and talked on Skype a couple times. We’ve talked about our interests and honestly there doesn’t seem to be a lot of commonality, but the differences aren’t enough to warrant not going on a date at least once. For example, I LOVELOVELOVE horror movies and don’t really care for dramas. He LOVELOVELOVES dramas and is terrified to watch horror movies. He’s cute, smart, funny, and seems to really be attracted to me. I’d like to meet him face-to-face sometime and I think we’d really hit it off, but if I start dating Jason, then that won’t happen. And between the two, I like Scott better, but he’s not accessible. Even though we don’t have much in common, when we talk about them, I am very interested in learning more about his interests and he seems to want to know more about mine. He’s a really great guy.
Who knows…I may get the chance to see Scott in person someday soon. 🙂 I certainly hope so.
Can’t wait for this day to be over….
