Maybe I should post more frequently than every six months...
I've had a lot of stuff on my mind, what with women, and work, and school, and finances...
Plus, I kinda forgot this thing existed until a friend complained that I don't update it.
So, I'm just kinda going to pretend the gap since my last post never happened, and start by talking about my date yesterday.
In order to do that, though, I have to go back a couple days.
Friday night I get this call from this girl, Ashley, who is a friend of my roommate's and was in town all last week for her Spring Break. She wants me to come to the Frontier to hang out with her and her friend. After about an hour or two, I finally extricate myself from WoW and go down there. Now, I used to find Ashley annoying, but last week she was far less so than usual. I knew she had a crush on me, too, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to go hang out at Frontier on a Friday night, anyway.
So I get there, and I meet her friend, Kat, and I think Kat is really cool. She's at UNM, taking music-type courses and whatnot, and she seems to get my sense of humor, and she's smart and pretty, and all that. So I get her number from Ashley the next day, and call her up, and bang!zip! we have a date for Monday.
So yesterday we met up at Gyros, had some greek food, talked for a while, made fun of the differences in vegetation between NM and the east coast, then went and played some pool. She was either having an off day, or I was distracting her with my rugged good looks (lol), or she's not very good at pool, but we had fun, anyway, and I walked her to her building for her class and we parted with a hug.
That night, I wasn't really feeling like raiding an instance on WoW, so I invited her over to watch something on DVD...She brought the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, and so we watched that and a few Weird Al videos, and then I walked her home. I think she wanted me to kiss her, but I just hugged her, instead.
Normally, I kiss on the first date, if I can, and often take things as far as I can as quickly as I can...I've been rather impatient in my life to this point. But I've come to realize that whatever it is I'm doing in my life, it's not making me happy, so I'm making some changes. That's why I actually called this girl on the phone, and why I didn't kiss her last night. I'm going to try being more assertive, but at the same time taking things more slowly. It sounds sort of like a contradiction, but when you think about it, I've generally been very passive, waiting for just the right moment for whatever, and then, as soon as I see an opening, plunging headlong into the throes of passion...And while that's fun, I'm not happy, so I think it's a good idea to try something new. Hope it works out.
