Thursday July 21st 2011 — I wasnt quite ready for this
About a week ago, I went on a date with yet another Paki doc. I met him on match… and he and I had been texting for a few weeks.
Getting to know someone over text can be a little annoying…. sometimes the person will want to be texting while you are at work… you can’t really text while driving (at least if you took the Oprah pledge you can’t), and nowadays, guys try to turn texting into “sexting” a little too quickly. Needless to say… anytime I have been getting to know someone via “text”, I’m not into it.
Before this one and I met, he tried the “sexting” bit. That postponed us meeting for a week… I actually told him I was not his girl– but, he apologized and kept at it… so I agreed to meet him for coffee. Our coffee date ended up being at Denny’s… pretty funny. I told him nobody had ever tried to “not impress me” so much. The Denny’s part was the best…. that will give you an idea of how the rest went.
First physical impression: he is cute. Second physical impression: he is really short. Third physical impression: he has braces — I wasnt ready for that!
Based on my 1st impression, I tried to feel anything. I tried to find his jokes funny. I tried to want to know more about his family… and I tried to look past the braces, and focus on his smile. I tried to ask deeper questions to get to know him, and I really tried to not yawn.
All failed… I was trying to wrap things up and get back to my couch wayyy before he was. He still texts me good morning… and then throughout everyday. Sometimes I actually forget to text back all together. Not good. I want to be considerate… so the best thing that I can do for him is to let him know this is not working for me.
At this point, it’s so hard to let someone who really likes me go… even when they are not exactly what I am looking for. I want to double and triple check I don’t/can’t feel anything… because I am really tired of meeting people. I just want one of them to stick…. sorry for admitting that, but it’s the truth.
Braced… and released.
