Once upon a time...

Once I went out with some friends, and we went dancing. There was this little guy who danced so close to me that I seriously was uncomfortable. Like, honey really, back off my grill. It was super awkward, and basically probably won't go back because of him.  

Then today as I was shopping I made eye contact with this guy looking at me. I run across lots of new people at my job, so at first I just thought that he was just someone random who recognized me.... but as I turned away I realized where I had seen him before.  It was him! The creeper who danced with me. 

I seriously hate how small this town can be sometimes. I run into people I know (or don't want to know) EVERYWHERE! 

No Summer Lovin....

Don't you hate it when a potential prospect moves out of state for the summer?! Oh I DO!! 

Remember this post? We, are referring to the first guy again. We chatted on the phone, he came and visited me at my apartment, but didn't get a chance to go out before he jumped ship and left the state!

Just to make this picture so much worse I want to show you what I'd compare him to:

NOT KIDDING! He is just about this build, and I think we will crown him as Hugh. Tall, dark, and oh so handsome! Hello, I hand picked him out myself! 

Tear drops because I was so hopeful!

 Don't cry for me Argentina... well maybe do, just since I am. 

It happened again!

Remember how I once told you I am like good luck chuck (minus the sleeping around!) Well, this time I didn't even get a chance to go out with this boy. I crushed on him, he asked me out, but I couldn't go (it was my date week, read here.) Then next time I talked to him, he was in a serious relationship with a girl.  And this past weekend, they got engaged. 

As much as I'll admit I would like to have a big shinny ring on my left hand, I really REALLY would love a boyfriend. Isn't it my turn?! Why are all my options getting themselves hitched?! What? I enter the room and they throw themselves at any open girl? Seriously, where are all the eligible men hiding? 

Love,

SEARCHING, for mr. right. 

Hugs not Kisses

Dear Male world:


There is this thing that you need to know, or learn, or something. See when you hug a girl, you should put your body into it. But not creepy-like. Don't hold for too long, but not for two short either. This is dependent on the situation. 


For example:


If you like the girl= hug her like you want her to know you want her to stay.


If it is a friend that is coming to say hi= a quick, how are you hug is sufficient.


If you have never hugged said female: make it short but DEFINITELY sweet, because you don't want her to think it is awkward.


See, this last example went wrong for me this week. I had never hugged said boy before, but as everyone in the group was leaving and hugging, it came our turn for an embrace. (side note this male is probably at least a foot taller than I am) 
I went to hug him and STUPIDLY put one arm up, and one arm down- the criss-cross hug. I say stupidly, because he didn't bend down. At all. He just put his lanky arms around me and patted. Yep. I just hugged a tree with my arms trying to reach around and above it. F.A.I.L. 

I never know how to hug guys in the first place. Arms above their arms, or arms below, and then there is the one of each. (criss-cross)

And it would have been fine, if he would have learned how to hug. But apparently he was deprived all his life, or something.


So dear Mr. So-and-so,
A word of advice:
Use your body when you hug. Not just your arms. BELIEVE me when I say that when a guy gives a good hug, it can change a girls day. Just so you know.

Something Borrowed

I can not wait until May 6, I really want to see this!

I want to make a few predictions before I do see it though, and we'll see if I'm right or not. 

 My guesses all revolve around John Krasinski.  

First watch the preview:

Now I really like Dex, but I'm also crushing on Ethan. 

So now I don't know who I want Rachel to end up with!

-Dex is a cheater, even though it is with the one we want to win him

-And Ethan is her best friend and confidant. 

My prediction:

Ethan may be gay. 

I just am going to throw that out there, so that when it comes back that he is, I guessed it first. 

And if he's not, and ends up with Rachel, to her the victor. 

I'm at a hard place: Dex the HOTTIE, and Ethan the friend, the one I would end up falling in love with. 

Either way I love the actress playing Rachel: Ginnifer Goodwin. (she was my favorite in He's Just Not That Into You as Gigi- seriously if they didn't have the nasty Scarlett Johansson/married man combo, it would be a favorite movie- I love the Gigi storyline!!!)

And I love Kate Hudson, even if she does play the self centered friend.

All in all- who else is really excited for May 6?!

It's a small world after all....

My roommate came home the other night and told me about this boy she has a crush on. I then asked his name, and it was PAUL from this date!  We then went to a party the next night, and he was there.

I believe situations are only as awkward as you make them, and I could tell he didn't feel very comfortable around me. But, I didn't think anything about it... other than I was glad we only went on two dates. 

Oh, hello!

Update on my life? 

Alright.

I told a friend at work, that there is this guy that I've thought is quite cute. I've never talked to him, and only see him pass by the hall sometimes, but have been admiring his beauty for a few months.  

So when she happened to be alone, and he walked into the room, she saw an opportunity she couldn't pass up. 

He was a good sport, and she was classy about it, but she introduced us, and we went out for some ice cream. (just me and him, not her too...)

He then unexpectedly stopped by to see me the next day too.  

He has my number.

He's definitely interested.

BUT-----

There is this other guy at work, who just this week told me he is interested too!!!

He texted me a lot during the whole Ed thing, and even talked with me the night that the whole thing went overboard. 

We usually don't see a lot of each other, but this week our schedules just coincided. 

He told me that he has been meaning to ask me out, but he has been swamped ever since the death of Ed. 

When I went out with the Mr. above, he apparently got all huffy, and when asked about it told the girl that he could get me if he wanted, and that he would treat me the best I've ever been treated in my LIFE! (hahaha)

He then took me out to get ice cream too, and has walked me out to my car after work each night.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know what will happen with either guy, but I find this all very entertaining. 

Number one: when have I ever actually been out with, or impressed by, a cute crush that I hand pick? 

Number two: have I ever had a guy fighting for my affection? 

Both answers are never!

more drama, I'm sure, to come!

xoxo
