blowin' up

How do my sunday's always slip away from me?! I was feeling so productive today...i did my errands, got a little sun, made a yummo dinner, did a little laundry,...and wham, suddenly it's 10:20 and I haven't written in my blog yet, let alone finish what I'd hoped to have done for school tomorrow.
perhaps part of the reason why i'm suddenly so far behind on my "things i wanted done before bed on sunday" list is cause I just spent 57 minutes on the phone. with a new boy.
CRAZY. i'm suddenly talking to 4 different guys from okcupid, using 4 different types of communication-- in person!, texting, email and phone. i'm even facebook friends with one!! Such progress! (please hear my sarcasm).
I don't know how people date multiple people at once. i cannot keep them all straight! the only thing crazier than me talking to 4 different guys at once is that I actually see some potential in all 4. so let's add to the list of potential new boys:

The military man. no that sounds too tough. The Airforce. eh, i don't know. i'll come up with a good name for him:
So, I noticed the Airforcer on okcupid and immediately thought, "Oh he's way too cute for me" so I did nothing.Then one night he instant messaged me and we had a fabulous conversation. He's from New England, went to a small school in MI before joining the airforce and being stationed here in Vegas. We chatted a few nights before exchanging emails, then phone numbers.
It sounds like, like me, he's bored. He works funky hours so has random days off, but on Friday night he ended up getting finished early so he texted me and a few hours later, we met for a drink.
Like his profile, he's way too cute for me. Very tan and typical military hair and build. and dimples to die for. Our conversation was pretty good but didn't go anywhere crazy. mostly stuck on topics like sports, work and travel. but he was friendly and easy to talk to. It wasn't very flirty though, so i'm not sure if it was a date or just two new friends sharing a beer.
When the check came, he had his card out and I threw mine down too without discussion. Then as we left, he went one way and I went another without a hug, handshake or romantic makeout session. soooooooo, i'm thinking he wasn't feeling me any more than a friend...which is fine.
Saturday I texted him just to say thanks and to tell him to enjoy the concert he was going to and he replied, but I let the conversation die...
so i dunno. I'd definitely see him again, but I certainly won't throw myself at him.

then there's:
Radio Man. Radio Boy? Radio Guy. Radio Dude.
So there's this other guy, Radio Dude, so named cause he works in Radio, as the news reporter on an AM station. I actually listened to him the other day and he sounded....old. I think anyone on the radio reading the news would sound old though. His pictures on OK cupid are way cute. He's from St. Louis and we've been texting like crazy. I spent 45-minutes on the ellipitical Friday afternoon, texting him the whole time (I was so THAT girl, good thing the gym was empty). It really made my workout fly by! We have soooooo much in common and seem to fit each other's "want" list. the only problem thus far is we've been texting since friday and he's YET to ask me out. At one point I even said how much I wanted a drink. but nothing. We've since become facebook friends, and I was glad to see his facebook didn't reveal any big uh-ohs. sooo...if he doesn't ask me out soon, i'm going to have to be a big girl and do the asking myself...

Then...
Brooklyn Babe. Ok, just Brooklyn Dude.
This is the dude I just spent an hour on the phone with. I gave him my number in an email on Thursday and was bummed to have not heard from him all weekend, but this totally made up for it... I haven't even met him and I want him. He's been in Vegas for 7 years, but he's originally from, duh, Brooklyn. But he went to school in Philly, so has friends there, and even admits that he'd grown accustomed to Philly teams. (swoon). He's a beverage manager at the Venetian, which is awesome and likely means that I could have seen him when I was there a few weeks ago with mom. However, this job thing is a major con--he works overnight 2 nights a week (was actually heading in to work as I finished talking to him tonight. at 10pm), and swing the other 3 (4pm-12pm) with Wednesdays and Thursdays usually off. Could we have more opposite hours? I'm barely done my school day when he goes into his work day. but i guess that's something to worry about later.
After our conversation, he texted me and said how nice it was to talk, and that he'd be in touch to make a plan to get together. so i guess we'll figure something out. i hope.

The Debater. or, the Master Debater. no. Just the Debater:
Not to prejudge (cause i'd never do that here)...the Debater seems most...in my league. I don't know if that's putting me or him down more. Anyway, he's a teacher...of debate, at a private school here in Vegas. so he has rich kids. and he's actually in DC this weekend at the national championship with his team. We've been emailing the most intensely for a good week now and have set up a date for Wednesday-- trip to the farmer's market and then drinks.
That's all I got on him so far. more details as they come.

ok, i seriously have to get to bed. this did not turn into the clever or witty commentary I prefer it to be, but i have a feeling i'll have some mid-week reports this week...
something good has to come from one of these four, right???
we'll see.........

  2. Four men at once?? Good luck! I agree with Lisa though, I can't imagine that any of them are too cute for you! No such thing.
