Date 71 - Fling, Flang, Flung
I went to a very groovy party this weekend. I forced myself to go. I haven't been sleeping well lately and really just wanted to veg out and make up for lost "quality time" with the dog, but I knew it would do me good to go out and be social.
Besides, the new year's resolution is more joy - less pain, and what could be more joyful than a raucous little costume party with some random peeps. I did my best to put together a festive ensemble without going to unnecessary trouble or expense. It gave me an excuse to wear some bling that's otherwise too bold for the office, and not exactly date appropriate.
When I arrived, the party wasn't quite hoppin' but was starting to simmer. I started to mingle and chit chat. Some interesting guys but no real contenders... especially when I realized the tall cute guy I was talking to was someone's serious boyfriend. Doh! I met a couple of excellent girls though and got their numbers, and it's always good to renew the ranks of the single girlfriends. Sometimes I think that's better than meeting men!
As the evening wore on, there were a couple of hotties in attendance. Much to my delight, an especially cute one took a shine to me. I'm not sure how much brain was in that pretty little head of his, but his likeness to Keith Olbermann was a total turn on and my (potentially) unwarranted geek crush was in full bloom.
We continued to interact throughout the evening when I started to pick up on his playboy vibe, I politely and discreetly told him that although I was definitely attracted to him, we were after two very different things. I was interested in more substance and since he seemed to be more interested in action, perhaps he'd do better with someone else at the party.
Undaunted, he continued his pursuit and well... eventually, he finally caught me. We left the party and stayed up all night.
He's already called and left a message to follow up. Sweet. No plans yet, but we'll see.

Hey MD,
I will agree that meeting new girlfriends that you think you have alot in common with and could really have some fun hanging out together i sometimes better then being on the prowl for a man. Friends are always just no hassel, you don't have to worry so much what you look like, what you say, it's all so much more relaxed and comfortable.
Speaking of dates i am just looking up the correspondance from the online site i ave been using. There are actually some real hotties on there. I worry as i look at the post breakup weight that has crept on my body- yeeeiikkksss!!!!! I must start working out this week i tell myself. I am fearful though as when i put pressure on myself like this i undoubtly end up putting on more weight. Oh well i suppose there is always other guys out there. Best to do what i want for me and no one else. I am going to work on this.
Regards, A
