(no subject)
i'm a hussy.
raptorwrath talked me into starting a profile on okcupid.com. i tried match and plenty of fish, both of which were pretty worthless for me. though match did set me up with that guy i talked about earlier, but he lives in fenton and that is just too far for me to drive for sex and tv. good sex and good tv though. anyway! okcupid has been pretty good to me.
here's an example:
monday, i went out with rob. we met at starbuck's and then grabbed some dinner a couple hours later. the conversation was good, he was a little odd but very nice and pretty cute. he also couldn't seem to eat his fettucini without getting sauce on his face, which i tried my hardest to avoid looking at.
tuesday, i hung out with matt. he and i met a few weeks ago and have been somewhat dating/hanging out every now and then since. we have a ton of fun together. he's cute and tall. he's also 23. and going to med school within the next year. so while it's fun to hang out with him, it will most likely go absolutely nowhere. we're at totally different places in our lives. he's young, still going to school, i'm an old lady and finally starting my career. while i'm not looking to settle down anytime soon, i have a feeling i'll be ready for it before matt is.
wednesday night, i went out with leo. we met at a wine bar in clayton then headed to blueberry hill for burgers and a pitcher of pabst. he's half-chinese, which wasn't very obvious in his profile pictures at all, but quite obvious in person. luckily, he was much taller than most chinese men! again, great converstaion and cute. for an asian. i'm not saying that to be a bitch, but i have never in my life been attracted to an asian guy. too tiny. but leo was awesome, but also lactose intolerant... how can i pig out on ice cream with someone who can't eat dairy?
last night, thursday, i went out with jeff. i tried to avoid the J names, but oh well. there are too many to avoid.we met at schlafly, a local brewery, and drank pumpkin beer and shared a dessert. jeff is cute and italian (though he doesn't look it) and catholic. again, great conversation. never a dull moment. oddly enough, he is also lactose intolerant. wtf.
and i may possibly meet up with another guy this weekend, but i'm working 8:30-7 all weekend, so i don't know if i'll be up for it.
i'm a dating fool and i love it!!
i don't know if anything will come out of these dates, and honestly i am not all that concerned about it. i'll probably see each of them again if they want. the only one that really stuck out to me was jeff, though. so we'll just have to wait and see how it goes.
in other news, i started the MIT program this week at the lob in chesterfield. it's a 45 minute drive from edwardsville, which makes me hate life, but it's worth it to be training there. the gm, jeff (ha, another one), is amazing. he's very thorough and loves to teach so i never feel like i'm bothering him when i'm asking him questions. i have to learn every position in the restaurant. this week and next i'm learning prep. which means 8:30 am every day. bah. and i am required to work 50 hours a week during training, so the days are loooong.
so all in all, life is good. i hate to even say that because of the fear that i'm going to jinx myself. but it really is. i'm keeping busy with work and dating and am happy about it. absolutely.
