weekend recap...

hmm...grade papers?? or update my blog??
well, i can't keep my public waiting!!! so here goes, the weekend recap!
first...
friday night. so yeah, you already know that dull dude is well...dull. here's how dull it was.
we met at the restaurant in a casino and since we had to wait for a table, we went over to a bar to get some drinks (my suggestion). we stood there for 10 minutes waiting for drinks and pretty much said nothing to one another. aaawwwwwkward. finally we made small talk about work and school and who knows what else.
finally socially lubricated with a cocktail, we went back to the restaurant and had dinner and it was delish (adult milkshakes the size of your FACE!! YUM!!!). tried to talk about movies and music and discovered his favorite movies are mostly sci-fi. boorrring. after dinner i hinted that I was tired but he suggested movies or bowling, and since a movie would certainly put me to sleep, i opted for bowling. upon walking to the bowling alley i confessed that my bowling skills are, well, non-existent and he confessed that he used to bowl quite a lot. so much that he was in a travel league through high school.
when we got to our lane i plugged in our names into the computer and was trying to think of cute clever aliases and he choose nerd as the name for himself. then he proved himself on the bowling alley. seriously, i don't think the dude had less than a spare on a single frame. i had multiple gutter balls in a row. he was pretty intense. so intense that he even slipped and fell after spinning the ball down the lane. i tried to get him to be slightly more playful by offering high-fives after every nice shot he had, but even his high-five was limp.
it was hopeless.
we had three games of hopeless lame bowling. plus when it was all said and done, we still had half a pitcher to drink so sat for another hour (which felt like a decade).
Finally, after the 5000000th yawn i convinced him it was bedtime and we left. i got another awkward kiss goodbye and left it open with a simple, "see ya later".
poor guy. i gave him a chance. but he's so hopelessly socially awkward.
i need someone a bit less passive (not necessarily aggressive, just not so passive).

which leads me to saturday night and the professor.
a total gentleman. offered to pick me up and at first I accepted, then fear that despite the phone conversations we had he would be a serial rapist axe murderer led me to take my own car. even though not necessary, he made a reservation for dinner and since we were early, we had some drinks on the patio. I offered to pay for my own and he wouldn't even entertain that thought (something dull dude had not issue with). he opened doors and let me walk in front. within the first 10 minutes, we already agreed on a 2nd date, to watch the premiere of Lost on tuesday night. we bounced conversation back and forth forever and he was really easy to talk to. we talked a ton about music and he's making me a few CDs to broaden my library. we talked about third eye blind for some reason, and his fav song from them--- motorcycle drive by! (mine too)
perfect, right??
sigh, if only...
i don't think i'm attracted to him. I wore the red heels and he was shorter than me. he's mostly balding. he wore rings. on his fingers. (better than gold chains i suppose).
he grew on me as the night went on, and i truly had a good time with him. i just don't know.
i know looks aren't everything and i'm not going to sell him short just cause he's well, short, but i would love to be instantly attracted and smitten by the WHOLE package, you know.
nevertheless, we'll see what happens on tuesday for Lost and oh yeah, probably again on Sat. when we watch UNLV basketball. plus we're facebook friends now, so that HAS to be MEAN something RIGHt?!
haha. i kid.

ok. off to bed to rest up for another busy and crazy week. ugh...
love you!!!!!!
