I'm okay now ._.
So, in the few weeks since my little meltdown, things have progressed. Denied the prospect of a satisfying relationship, I instead chose to focus my efforts on other areas of my life. I started a new semester at school, started picking up around the house, and make more of an effort to keep an active social life. By this point, I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I was not going to find myself in any sort of mutual attraction at any time in the near future.
Then, Sam happened.
Sam is a girl, by the way >_> And a very attractive, nerdy one at that. We met by random happenstance on one of the dating sites I frequent, and we got to talking. As it happens, we have quite a bit in common, and had our first date last night - It was a low-key affair, at a local coffee shop. What I expected to take little more than a half-hour turned into two hours before I even realized it, and we've made plans to meet for two more dates this week. Needless to say, I'm smitten, and for whatever ungodly reason, she seems to feel the same way :p Date #2 will be an evolution from coffee to dinner, and the third will be a further development into dinner, gaming, and movies at my house.
The third part of that combination will most likely involve being cuddled up on the couch together, which I do confess is something I'm keenly interested in. It's been almost two years since my last cuddle, and it's high time we rectified that. Sam is the shy, quiet type; adorably awkward and apparently completely unaware of how attractive she is. It's a very honest, down-to-earth, girl-next-door kind of beauty. She's not a makeup-plastered, pencil-thin, scantily-clad supermodel type, and that's probably what I like about her. That and the nerdiness :p I don't think it's a stretch to say that Sam's the type of girl who has "wife material" written all over her. I'm not saying I'm going out to price engagement rings this weekend, but I definitely think our little spark has the chance to grow into something long-term. We'll find out soon enough, I suppose.
