"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

Such a contradiction!

On Friday night I ended up going out with the guys from work on a ridiculously crazy adventure that involved multiple types of alcohol, at least 5 different stops (one including the parking lot at the Royal's stadium), and lots of bonding with my co-workers. The guys were tons of fun to hang out with and I really enjoyed getting to know them outside of the office (and I think they enjoyed getting to see the slightly crazier side of me as well). I even got a random performance review from my boss in the parking lot of the stadium while drinking Miller Lite (thank goodness it was favorable!).

And here's what I realized . . . I want to date that guy that can talk to anyone, that guy who's charming and personable and can carry on a conversation with someone that he just met and act as if he's known them forever yet still make me feel like I'm the most important girl in the room. I want to date someone that can go out and party until 4:00 am and then turn around the next day and take me out to dinner and movie. And I want him to still want to go to church with me on Sunday then hit Home Depot for some afternoon home improvement projects. And I want him to be pretty (like former frat boy pretty). I know that is probably insanely unrealistic and I probably should have grown out of that by now but for some crazy reason, I haven't. Do they have therapy for that?

Anyway, I talked to Chris (another online dating guy) on the phone today. He seems nice . . . he works at Sprint. We talked about how much we hated dating, etc. He seems pretty picky. He's also super religious and very involved in his church. I think he has pretty low expectations about meeting people online too so maybe that will be perfect for me! Ha ha! I also don't know what to expect from someone who lists themself as never drinking. How is he going to be able to party until 4:00 am without any alcohol? :)

UGH . . . and the teacher JUST texted me "How are you feeling?" I begged off going out with him last week because I was sick, didn't reschedule. He emailed me later in the week to see if it would be okay to call and I sent a very vague email back (he didn't call). And now he just texted me. Do I really have to spell it out for him? I'M NOT INTERESTED!
