Soooooo, I've had this blog for nearly two years - hard to believe - and this is JUST my 100th post. My posting pattern seems to ebb and flow at times. If I'm busier it obviously falls by the wayside but despite my busy-ness lately - I've been updating regularly. That being said - this will just be like any other post - maybe 101 will be superduper special! Ha. Onto the Update:
Update on Adventures in Dating #7. Remember James? The one with the 2 1/2 year old daughter? So I'm at my faculty meeting for Cabrini today and I get a text (keep in mind, it's 11:56 when I get the first one). The conversation went as follows:
James: Would you like to do lunch today?
Me: (knowing full well what I wanted to say but kept it to this) If I could get away I would. I'm in a meeting until 1 and I'm house/kid sitting until 8pm tonight. Hope all is well.
James: Things are good:) Hope all is well with you too.
You see that conversation?! The one right above this sentence. Yeah. WTF?! This directly relates to the NOTES FOR GUYS post I wrote a bit back. Seriously.
TIP #8 - If you want to go out for lunch, dinner, coffee, etc. - DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT CALL OR TEXT ME THAT DAY AND EXPECT ME TO BE AVAILABLE. Seriously! Have some effing common courtesy for reals. I have a life. Just because you happen to be available at that time - doesn't mean I will be. On top of which, if you knew you were going to be available then, ask me the day before. Am I right? [[Sidenote: I do realize that it's possible things just opened up for him and he thought, "it can't hurt to ask, she might be free, right?" totally ok if you present the situation like that. But when I haven't heard from you in nearly three weeks - don't expect me to just JUMP at the chance to see you. I usually take guys' numbers out of my phone if I haven't heard from them in three weeks - can't believe his is still in there.]] I just don't get people who do that. It's one thing when it's a friend. That's totally different. But when it someone you hardly know - at least have some common decency to ask a day in advance. y/y?

Adventures in Dating - Part 7
Now, just because I went on a great date with Aaron doesn't mean I was going to just be like - "ok that's it - I don't need to meet other people. In fact, just prior to my date that Thursday night, I went out for lunch that afternoon with someone else. James.
Adventures in Dating - Part 7:James
James was a little different than the other guys. Mainly because while I had spent a few weeks getting to know Aaron - James pretty much emailed me on Eharmony and was like - would you like to get together some time? And I was kind of enchanted with the forwardness but later I realized it was because he has limited time and don't necessarily have time to "lolligag" so to speak. So I accepted and we set a time to meet on Thursday afternoon at Bubble House .
Date #1
Traffic was horrible getting down there so I was a little late and he was waiting for me. YESSSSSS he wasn't late. He was cute and very nice. Seemed like a nice guy. We had lunch and talked and it was good conversation. He has a 2 1/2 year old daughter which is what makes his time limited. No big deal. I love kids - but my time is pretty limited too. And honestly I'm not at the point in my life where I'm ready to build my schedule around someone with a kid. That sounds horrible but...I just am not ready for that yet.
In the middle of the conversation he asked me what I was doing the next afternoon and over the weekend. I told him I couldn't meet up the next day because I had homework (which I did - two finals to study for) and that I was busy this weekend. But I did tell him to call me.
We parted ways after lunch and about an hour and a half. He hugged me and I walked to my car - alone. Whatevs. I didn't expect anything after that. But Bubble House was great - definitely would go there again.
So the next day he sent me a text - "happy friday katie" - to which I did not respond. What do you say to that besides the same thing back? nah. No dice.
And that was that. I haven't heard from him since. It's been a week. Honestly - it's totally okay. No sweat off my back. He's a nice enough guy but - I don't think we'd be that good together. But I did find a great place to go for lunch now :-)
