BP called on Tuesday night to see what I was doing this weekend. We have tentative plans for Friday night. He is supposed to call me tomorrow to firm up the plans. And then Sunday I am headed over to his house for a little get together as KF invited me. I am very excited for Friday night. Hopefully things will work out and we will actually go out. The last couple times I have gotten my hopes up or got excited, I have been let down, so I need to make sure that I do not get overly anxious...
Saturday afternoon, the cop called and cancelled our date. He had "mandatory overtime" or something like that. So, he said lets do something on Monday evening. Luckily, I was headed off to a BBQ at DI's house. I met up with A1, and we headed over to DI's house. There were a ton of people at the BBQ. We had some drinks and some food and just chilled on the deck. We decided later in the evening to go out to Georgetown to Garretts and then go from there. A1 and I rode down together while ...
The summer o' fun began last night. This is the summer where I will not sit around and feel sorry for myself. I will go out and have a blast! I went out with the girls and A2's hot little brother, yummy! We had dinner at this frou-frou place in Adams Morgan called Left Bank. I should have eaten more than a salad and some sushi rolls all day, thats for sure. We drank two bottles of wine and a few martinis. Then we headed over to the Reef for a few more drinks. So I hardcore flirted wit...
The cop called back today and we have a date for Saturday night. We are going to do dinner or something like that. He is supposed to call tomorrow to firm up plans. I am intrigued now. I haven't been pursued like this in quite a while. He has not lost interest yet and I haven't had to do anything really. And, he is still interested even after I put the brakes on sex Sunday night. My friend T said I am worth it. It should be interesting. I love three day weekends. I am getting ex...
So, in my last article, I documented my Friday night with the cop. He has called me every day since then, multiple times. Last night, he was "in my hood" so he asked if he could stop by. I wasn't doing anything (Sopranos was over for the evening and I was reeling at the fact that Adriana got whacked), so I said sure. He came over and immediately started to try to make out with me. We made out for a little while, but it started going too far. So, I stopped him and explained to him that I...
In my dating past, I have had certain rules/standards which I follow. They are about the specific mate I am looking for. Here are the brief rules: 1)must be employed and not live at home, 2) no cops or firefighters, 3) no back hair, 4) no drugs, 5) no one night stands. So, myself, A1, T, and M met up at Mixtec in Adams Morgan last night for some yummy Mexican food and margaritas. It was a lot of fun! M and T decided that they wanted to go home at 10 pm, so A1 and I headed to the Reef. W...
My co-worker (who I wish was single because he is so cute) suggested to me today that I "just have to get out there and meet people". I kiddingly said, "sure, I'll just walk down Wisconsin Ave with a sandwich board on me saying that I am single and ringing a bell like the salvation army santas". Can you believe that he told me that might be a good idea? (He was kidding, of course!) He suggested a personal ad online as well. He even offered to write it for me. I know better than to do ...
Well, now mid-week has passed. No call. Forget this handsome stranger...he isn't even worth my time! Saw A2 tonight, the mutual friend. She actually saw him before the girls night dinner plans driving home. She said he pulled over and said hi and then went on his way. I told her he hasn't called, she didn't act surprised. I pried a little and asked if he was even remotely interested. She said that he was, but that he wasn't looking for a relationship or anything. Well...duh. Me eith...
Ok, so the handsome stranger called on Thursday night. We agreed that it would be fun to meet for drinks sometime this week. We both didnt know our availability, so he said he would call "early in the week". Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't early in the week mean before Wednesday? Wednesday means mid-week to me. Early week would mean Monday or Tuesday. Maybe I'm looking too deep into the conversation, but he hasn't called, and maybe I am a bit disappointed. Maybe he's busy with wor...
So, I went shopping for some new duds for my new figure. Let me tell you, getting dumped is a GREAT weight loss plan. I have dropped about 15 pounds in the past month. My old clothes just hang on me now. One of my co-workers started calling me "skeletor"---how rude! I was thin to begin with, now I am back to a college size 2!!! It probably wasn't the healthiest way to lose some weight, but I cant complain with the outcome. So, I spoiled myself a little with some cute going out clothes....
Saturday night was week 2 of the lonely hearts club meeting. A1, A2 (she decided to come out after all) and myself went to dinner at a nice place in Dupont called Fin. The server was quick and the drinks were top notch. We were going to go to the waterfront, but it was pouring down rain, so we ended up at Lulus. I had never been there and its just like every other cheesy bar in DC. The male clientele were all there to hit on young girls (they have a, well, relaxed policy about IDs but it...
First, I wanted to thank everyone for such insightful remarks to my last article. I stand corrected, I am not a firm believer in karma, but in the Wiccan rule of three. It was suggested that maybe I join a class or something similar instead of going to the bar to meet people. Frankly I don't have time for that. Let me clarify something--I don't only go to the bar to meet people and then go home and sit by my phone to wait for it to ring. I live in downtown DC, I work for a company w...
So, I read the comments of the fellow joe users regarding my last posting. First off, I am not one of those girls who gives out phony digits. I have never done that. If I don't think that the person is someone I want around, I tell them that I am busy right now(which I am), or something along those lines. There is nothing more hateful than the phony digits. And I am a firm believer in karma. Everything I have ever done to someone has come back to bite me. I have not been sitting wa...
Its now Wednesday after 10 pm. I have yet to receive a phone call from the handsome stranger at the bar. And the major problem with this---the handsome stranger and I share a mutual friend (A2) who happens to be out of town this week until Friday. A1 thinks maybe he just lost my number and is trying to get in touch with A2. So in the event he lost my number, he can't get it until Friday anyway. But I doubt that is it. I am sure that he just asked to be nice and really has no desire to con...
Saturday night with the "lonely hearts club" was quite interesting. A1 and I went to Raku, had some sushi and a few peach martinis. I have never had such a good martini. We headed over to the Cocoa lounge to meet up with A2 a few others. I had a few apple martinis there too. Yummy! I was buzzing pretty hard and enjoying the company and the music. The bartender sucked and was so slow, but hey, you can't have a completely perfect night. I was just standing there, talking to my girls, wh...
