A great date

Last night I went out with the guy that I met at the superbowl party. I ran into him at the gym last week, and we chatted a bit on facebook. We agreed to go out last night, and I had a wonderful time.

We started off meeting for dinner at Texas Roadhouse. We were so engaged in conversation that the waitress had to come back three times to get our order. Then she came back to check on how we liked our meal (after our food had been delivered) and we hadn't even tried it yet. Conversation was great and flowed smoothly. The food was pretty good as well.

After dinner we walked over to the movie theatre, and he took me to the movie Valentines day. Which, btw, is really cute and you should totally see it. Great cast, and a few great twists to keep you on your toes. We held hands through the movie, and that was nice.

After the movie we discovered that we had to walk around the mall outside, because we were still parked at the restaurant. It was nice, getting that extra time together after movie.

Overall, the evening went really well. To my delight I discovered that he's a born again christian, and I think he may be interested in checking out my church!

A Date!

Ok, so last fridays date was HORRIBLE! I believe there is much more to attraction than just physical... but this poor guy was not only the most unfortunate looking man I've ever met, he was also the most awkward. It was the strangest lunch date I've ever had. All he wanted to talk about was work. Work is important to me in that it allows me to pay my bills... but there is so much more in my life.

As for sunday...

I have a date tomorrow night. I'll leave it at that! ;)

Dating... and Heartache

So... on the dating news. I have a date tomorrow. It's a lunch date with a guy I met on Match.com. I don't know if he's attractive or not, it's hard to tell in his photos. But, he is 6'7" tall. Goodness I hope I didn't misread that! So, fingers crossed it goes well. According to his profile he's a good christian boy looking for a good christian girl... and though I'm not good yet - I sure am trying to be. It takes a little trial and error! Then, on Sunday one of the girls that I work with (who I just adore... and I'm so sad she's moving) is introducing me to this other guy... who looks really cute in his facebook photo. So... fingers crossed there too.

As for heartache. One of the guys on my team recently announced his wife is pregnant. That is so hard for me. I'm so jealous. He's going to be a great dad... I just wanted Teddy to be just as excited as this guy is. I wanted Teddy to be a good daddy. It hurts.

Taken

So... apparently the only guys that are ever interested in me are taken. The last guy I was talking about, the one with "no connection," had started to grow on me. Then... lo and behold, one saturday morning I get a phone call from his girlfriend. Yep, his girlfriend.

Then I hear that this other guy is interested... but he's married!

Today just kind of topped everything off. There was this cute guy in a class I took recently, but I wouldn't do anything because he had a girlfriend and I knew it. He's new, so I invited him to hang out with a few of my friends... and he came. Well, today he told me that things weren't working out with his girlfriend, but that he wasn't really all that broken up about it and he was looking forward to hanging out some more. A couple of hours later he emailed me to say that his girlfriend had seen the invite to hang out with friends on his facebook profile, and assumed he was cheating on her with me. Now he wants me to talk to her friend and tell this guy that we weren't involved.... which is true, but why should I be caught up in this drama?

I'm just frustrated with men in general right now... between these losers and the one that owes me child support... I'm really getting sick of their BS.

For Sarah

I promised Sarah I'd do this like four days ago... I guess that goes to show what kind of friend I am! :(

Single Mom. The words define me. In fact, I rarely call myself a mom, I call myself a single mom. I honestly can't tell you how many times a day I utter those words, "it comes with the territory... I'm a single mom, that's what happens when you're a single mom, after all... I'm a single mom." I wonder what that says about me. Do I define myself by how society sees me? Do I allow myself to fall under a stereotype? Or is that just a fact? Well, I know it's a fact, but is it nothing more nothing less?

This weekend I went and met my friends girlfriend who was in town. She's a nice girl, and I hope they are happy together. It angered me a little after meeting her... that I'm "not good enough" because I'M A SINGLE MOM... but it also made me feel better about the situation. If that's what he wants, bully for him. Obviously I can do better. I just wonder how long it's going to take me! Lol

Oh yeah, I also spent a lot of time with a guy last week... but nothings going to happen. He's really nice, decent looking... but there is no spark. I need the spark.
