Dating Idol Week 10

Dating Idol - Day 64

I have butterflies in my stomach. I hate that feeling, almost as much as I hate giddiness. But I'm not giddy tonight. John squashed that feeling for a while. I am just happy to get out of the house and meet someone. No pressure. No dancing. No fancy clothes. I have on a pair of Capri’s and a plain shirt. I hope Greg wasn’t expecting something fancy, because I'm not in the mood.

Take it or leave it is now my new attitude!!!

He said he’d wait at the bar for me. He has on a red shirt – yeah, so did five other people – and shorts. I sighed. Am I really in the mood for this I thought to myself?

Just then, he came up behind me. I turned around and decided I was definitely in the mood. He was about 6’3” and looked much better than his picture online. He smiled and stuck out his hand.

Oh,

My,

God!!

A dimple. I was definitely in the mood then. If I had known there was a dimple, I would have been all over him weeks ago. Forget the mess with John. Dimples were it. My mood suddenly improved and we had our beers. I even watched hockey. And when the game was over, we just left. He never asked for my number, nor did he say he would call. But I know I will see him online.

It was a weird feeling.

Dating Idol - Day 65

I’m not sure how to feel today. Last night I had fun with Greg and thought we connected on a good level, a good friendship level, I was definitely attracted, and I hope he was too, but something is just bothering me today. I know he never promised to call – hell he didn’t even badger me for my number. Maybe he wasn’t interested as much as I thought.

Figures.

One guy who I could definitely get in to and he doesn’t want to call me.

The girls called and we went out. I wasn’t up much for dancing, so I came back after a couple hours. And here I am, in front of a computer with none of my online friends on. But I had three hang up messages and several other private calls on the caller ID. I feel a pity party creeping up...haha.

Dating Idol - Day 66

My weekend couldn’t get much better. Read the sarcasm there. I was over being pissed, but not over feeling stupid when my mom knocked on the door. Super. She came in carrying bags, however, so I couldn’t feel too pissed.

When mom brings goodies, its a good day. She brought food, because she was worried about me. She found a purse that she knew would match my black shoes. And she delivered a bottle of wine from my grandma that was a belated birthday gift. Grandma was always forgetful. And she was getting worse. I need to make a point and go see her more often.

Mom actually stayed and we made dinner. My dad was golfing, so I think it was her motive all along. It may have been a Sunday night, but it wasn’t so bad after all. I could actually go to work and feel like I had some kind of a nice vacation. It certainly wasn’t with the hunky man to sweep me off my feet, but hey, a girl can’t have it all.

Dating Idol - Day 67

I was in a funk tonight. The girls were all going out, so I joined in. However, when I got there, I didn’t feel like dancing. I felt like a beer.

What was the world coming to??

I wanted a beer over my fancy drinks and the loud, pulsing music. I wondered if Greg ever danced before I was swept in a dance with the gals. They pulled me out of my thoughts for a few fast numbers, and then I sat down with a drink. A mellow drink.

There’s another first!!

I passed on alcohol and wanted to keep a clear head. Katie laughed and said it must be something to do with my old age. Haha. Bitch. She had a couple months left, so there. I’d get even.

I came home and logged on. I perked up when I saw an offline message from Greg saying hi. One word and I am becoming mush. I know it's because of the dimple.

Dating Idol - Day 68

Work stunk today. Well, it does everyday but today was worse. I had a meeting with marketing about budgets and the hottie from the offsite a few weeks ago was there. Well, hottie in marketing has a thing for Sarah in my department. And it was disgusting to watch them hang all over each other in the meeting. I thought public displays of affection were out, especially in the workplace. What the hell was up with that? Lisa kept making eyes at me and I was caught snickering too loud. I’m sure everyone knew what was going on, but no one said anything.

I watched the minutes tick by and finally we were done. We agreed to have another meeting to finish our meeting.

I hate working.

I need a new career.

All I want to do is go home and see Greg online, but no. No such luck. The one man I have serious interest in and he disappears. Maybe Greg is the stalker and he is just smarter than I am.

Dating Idol - Day 69

Work was a little better today. Then I came home and needed to clean. Fun stuff, I tell ya. I know someone must be jealous over my fun lifestyle. Ha. Work. Clean. Occasionally go out with the girls.

I picked up my cell phone to see I had missed five calls. Private numbers and Claire. This is getting old. Ron needs to get a life.

Claire wanted to see a movie, so I went with her. We both have PMS, so we got extra butter on the popcorn and extra salt. It was the bomb. I can’t remember the last time I saw a movie. And this one was great. Well, at least Orlando Bloom in it was great. I can’t tell you what the rest of the movie was about besides the fact that Orlando was in uniform. In uniform. And he has dimples. I am such a predictable loser!!

I came home and had some emails from a few prospective singles on a website. Hmmm. I must have been on the front page, because I haven’t had any new bites in a while. Not interested tonight. Maybe tomorrow. I want to dream about dimples.

Dating Idol - Day 70

The next best thing to having a family function at mom’s house – sarcasm there – is having to travel for work. The accounting department at the other site isn’t as large as here, so me and a few people go down a few times a year and straighten it all out.

Now, other companies have fun places like a subsidiary in Florida or California. My company – Wisconsin. So, instead of going to some awesome location for a mini-retreat in the winter or fall, I head straight to hell. Hell in the form of a driving snowstorm, complete with ice covered roads and huge snow banks. I like my snow every so often and all, but Wisconsin takes it to a new level. Like 10 or 12 feet tall. I’ve seen it a few times and it isn’t pretty. I feel sorry for the people who live there.

At least it’s not winter yet, but I still don’t like going. And I hate flying. I got the itinerary today and it is four days this time. At least the weather will be nice and I can find something to do. Or at least find a Wi-fi place and get online.

Now that I think of it, my online buddies seem to be shrinking. Hmmm.
