Date & Dish

I’m tired. Literally and figuratively, I suppose. I realized that I hadn’t logged into one of the sites I’m on in nearly a month, and I voided my 6-month guarantee of success by doing so.

Oh well.

I hung out with Data Guy recently. We went to see a movie and it was just as I expected…totally friendly. As in, we’re friends and nothing more. I’m fine with that…and it’s nice to know what to expect from him, you know?

German Guy IM’d me several days ago. It was your basic chit-chat. Then his computer froze and he went offline, so a few minutes later I got a text from him. He said he would let me get back to work and he would call me later. Well, of course he never did call. But that’s fine because I didn’t even miss it, until he wrote me today and said he hadn’t heard from me in a while. I’m like, helloooo! You said you would call, so call, stupid!

Okay, maybe I’m being a little hard on him. But I guess you could say I’m over any notion of getting together with him…can you tell? I’m not even sure if I’m that excited about the idea of being friends with him anymore. But I do have a DVD of his that I need to return. I’m not going to pull a Book Thief on him and keep his DVD — I’m not that kind of girl. So I guess I do have to see him again at some point. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I’ve had two interesting conversations with guy friends recently. One of them admires me from across the country, telling me that I should move out there to give things a shot with him. We knew each other a long time ago, and we haven’t seen each other in about six years. We chat every now and then and I consider him a friend. A recent conversation went like this (we’re talking about online dating):

Me: i’ve had 99% positive experiences too. i’ve made a lot of friends. it’s funny, so many of my latest myspace friends are all guys i’ve gone out with.

Him: they still want to f*ck you, that’s why….and that’s being honest.

Me: you think? see, there’s the guys being simple thing. i’m giving them the benefit of the doubt. aww, they want to be friends.

Him: watch When Harry Met Sally…so true, everything that Billy Crystal says…..

Him: guys want to sleep with everyone….even their friends.

So, guy readers (all two of you) — is this true? Perhaps I’m being naive when it comes to my newfound friendships with some of these guys.

The other conversation was with a guy at work. I really think that guys think women have it soooooo much easier than them, and it’s just not true! He’s having a hard time online, and I’ll admit — as a girl, I get tons of e-mails. But how many of them are actually people I want to go out with?? Quantity does NOT equal quality, for sure.

On another note, I’ve gone out with a real-world contact lately…someone I didn’t meet online. We’ve actually known each other as acquaintances for a while and are now discovering that we have tons of common interests and know a lot of the same people. He also happens to be a reader of Date and Dish, so that’s about all I’m going to share for now.

So, that’s all the news that’s fit to print, kiddos! Till next time….
