"Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous." Carrie Bradshaw

When it rains, it pours . . .

I went out with the train guy last night. I actually thought about cancelling right before; I just couldn't take another photographer situation. I felt sick to my stomach and decided I couldn't even put much effort into my appearance in case that he turned out to be disgusting. And to my surprise, he was not only super cute, but also seemingly normal!

Physically, I'm definitely attracted. We'll just have to see if there is enough intellectual/emotional attraction to actually constitute dating him. I think we're going to go out again next week/end sometime so we'll see.

And I ended up talking to another guy tonight who is a teacher at a local high school. I wasn't super interested in him until we started emailing and then after talking on the phone, I'm definitely intrigued (and as an added bonus he's a Mizzou grad). We seemed to really click so we'll have to see if there is any physical chemistry . . .

It's hard because I do a pretty good first date. I'm not going to lie . . . I've had a lot of practice. So many times it's hard for my date to realize that they are just out with someone who is an expert first dater and it's not just that we really do have a great connection. :)

I'm a little nervous about juggling a couple of guys in real life. It's easy online but once you start meeting them and talking on the phone, it becomes real and you don't want to hurt feelings or be dishonest. I've never really dated multiple guys at one time so I'm not even sure how to do this!

Suggestions?
