Tea for Two

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... Phd.

The name is self explanatory. I didnt even realize I had already named him until my co author pointed out that I'd only been calling him Phd. Moving on, this date was in one word, boring. He is quite the tea fan so we met for afternoon tea in lovely Santa Monica. I was late as usual. Now the thing is, the conversation was flowing fine, but the poor guy was nervous as hell. I think some people just need to take a shot before a first date. Tequila, BAM! Nerves gone.

I dont know how to describe the facial expression he was making. It was sort of a nervous twitch with his mouth, or rapid eye movement... i dont know it was just awkward. And I could see the poor guys hand shaking when he picked up his cup :(

And he kept staring at my chest when i sat down, mind you I was not wearing any sort of cleavage revealing outfit. Odd, strange. They can seem so normal through a computer screen.

Sadly this date reminded me of how picky I am and of how well Beard and I hit it off. On another note, my crush (who for now i'll still just call 'my crush') managed to get my phone number from a mutual friend and we engaged in some flirtatious texting this week. It was nice.

I assume this is the last we'll here about Phd. so.... NEXT!

I Spoke Too Soon

Yup! Sadly my adventures with Beard came to an abrupt end this week. Truth be told, if he hadn't said something now, it would have been me in about a week or so. I suppose the idea of spending New Years with a 'significant other' was pulling me through.
The honest truth is that we didn't seem to 'click' anymore. Don't get me wrong I loved spending time with the guy and he is an amazing person with many qualities I look for in a man, but I guess sometimes, it just isn't there. I can't really explain it, but I wish that something was there. The first few weeks were amazing, beyond amazing, and then.... i don't know, i guess something changed. I don't think I ever really felt comfortable with him, and I was never able to really open up, and be my goofy self. But I guess that takes time. Time that beard apparently didn't have to waste. Sometimes I wonder if its just bad timing. I RARELY find a guy that fits so well into my idea of a 'man friend' and seems to fit well with my ideas, interest, spirituality even, so it's quite sad.
Apparently I wasn't the only one who saw it coming. Friends told me afterwards they noticed a lack of excitement lately. The only bone I have to pick is that the guy could have said something a bit sooner than the night before we had planned to spend the day at Disneyland. Rather rude if you ask me.
Anyway! Hello 2010! Bring on the frogs!

Too Much of a Good Thing?

I love the first few dates when you really like someone. You know you clicked with that person so well and for a brief moment, they shit storm around you seems to settle, and nothing can take the smile off your face. But
I mean how quickly does that go away? How long is it supposed to last? Am I already over it after one week?

...No
totally kidding, but Beard apparently has mad skills at blog finding and discovered my venue for wild and crazy dating stories, and there is a high possibility he's reading this now.. which is why I needed to mess with him a bit! ;)
Three days in a row together and were not sick of each other yet...so, that's a good sign, right? I mean, I think if you are keeping a mental list of all the things you want to do together, the outlook is good! New Years kiss? :)

In One Word: Perfect

Well first date time rolled around once again this weekend. After talking to, Beard, I had a feeling our date would be amazing. We both love art and music, and he didn't waste any time asking me out. Further more, I was impressed with the fact that despite only living in LA for a few months, he had an awesome date planned!

Aside from my being a tad late, everything was great. We walked around the miracle mile art walk for a couple of hours, chatting about everything. Then we went to the Pablove foundation concert which was just a delight. Not only was our first date great, it was our first double date. We met my friend and her boyfriend at the concert. There were cocktails, snuggling, and lots of flirting... i could feel the big smooch coming on soon! We were all starving after the concert and decided to hit up Mels! The night ended with the perfect end to a perfect night.. the perfect smooch! Love it!

Can't wait for date #2 with Beard!
