ok i should have made a few updates through the week cause it was a crazy one and my feelings have been rollercoaster-y all week. not in a dramatic way, just in a "i can't figure out what i am feeling" way.
i've seen banana man now a total of 3 times. that's 2 more dates since the lucky #7, and the mere fact that i've had two more dates with him obviously says that things are progressing nicely. he has many awesome qualities that i'm looking for-- intelligent, funny/ able to roll with my jokes, taller than I am in heels, full head of hair, stable job in a reasonably respectable field etc.
then he has all these qualities that i never thought i'd find attractive...but i do...
he's from iowa. since when do i see people from iowa?
he has a motorcycle.
he drives a pick up and listens to country music in said pick up.
he's hardcore about getting fit and ran a 5k the other day. i barely make it to the gym on my training days. i couldn't run if i were chased.
so it's these things that make me think....this guy's into ME?
but two dates and two sleepovers later, i think he is.
so here's the problem. i'm not sure either of those two additional dates count as well...dates. Tuesday was more so than friday. Tuesday banana man came over for dinner. i made a bbq chicken pizza and salad with a homemade vinegarette. he brought a bottle of wine, which we finished in about 5 minutes flat. we talked and laughed and then we had ourselves a little sleep over. he had a bag in his car. he came prepared. presumptuous or prepared? you decide. i can't.
Friday night he came over again, this time later at night, and fully prepared for a sleepover, since he was running a race near my house Saturday morning. if anything it was a matter of convenience more than a matter of wanting to see me. we hung out for maybe an hour before heading to bed. not exactly an exciting date.
and so, i find myself wondering if I've thrown myself into this whole "hook-up buddy" situation, as opposed to the potential for something real. i'm ok with what's happened thus far, and have no regrets, but I would like some woo-ing. i want a dinner date at a nice restaurant. or a movie night. i have a list a mile long of things i want to do with someone and most of these things are outside my bedroom.
so...i dunno....not worried yet. one week into this, there's obviously no labels yet, but i'm going to be cautious this week with the directions things go. My mom and aunt and Stacy all come to town next weekend and since we're OBVIOUSLY not at the meet my mom phase (mom doesn't know this guy exists yet and i prefer that), banana man and I will have a hiatus on our sleepovers.
i'm also not closing off options....a co-worker has given my email address to a dude she knows and he's emailed me...
and GET THIS! Dull dude emailed me the other day...4 weeks after our dull date. his whole dull email: "Apologies! I've been away for work. You were a good bowler."
no, no i wasn't.
delete.
so that's the whole update. sorry i am not so eloquent tonight...had a long day in the sun at Nascar. who am i?
bed time!
Love you! leave me love!

Who did you go to nascar with?? Also, I think for the next date, just tell him right away, I am dying to eat at xyz or i am dying to go bowling or whatever and meet him there. Don't let him pick you up. Just say you are going to go straight from school. That way you don't get stuck in a rut of sleepovers. I am excited for my little Lisa. All growned up.
ReplyDeletewent to Nascar with the roommate, her boy and his friend who kept hitting on me the whole time. then three other friend's of my roommate met up with us. banana man was invited, but couldn't commit to spending a whole day drinking cause he "had work to do".
ReplyDeletelike your advice and hope he'll go for it...
