Ten Days Later

I'm beginning to think that Provo has been a bad influence on my dating habits. True, I've been on a lot of dates in my time here and the guys here are much more willing to ask a lady out than the guys in Rexburg, but there are also a lot of them that want to just make out. Part of me hates it, part of me loves it. I kind of really enjoy kissing. However, there is a part of me that is wondering when this streak of one or two time Joes is going to end.

So what happened to Dean? We talked. He said he's not looking to date and he knows I am and he doesn't want to get in the way of that. He said he's got a lot on his plate right now and "it wouldn't be fair for you to not have the attention that you would deserve from me if we dated." And that is that. We still talk and flirt. I wouldn't be opposed to spending time with him, but we haven't seen each other. Dean is a good guy, but we just weren't meant to be. Bummer.

But you know what? I'm done being the girl who wallows in sadness and pines over the guy who didn't want a relationship. You don't want to date me? That's okay. We had fun. Time to move on!

So, only ten days after my tryst (if it can even be called that), I've found myself riding on the coat talks of a very eventful weekend.
Friday night I grabbed my roommate and went on a double date with a couple guys from Tinder. Yeah, yeah, Tinder is a wasteland of very thirsty people. But we felt bold, so we went and had a good time. I've haven't been to an arcade since my grade school friend Princess (yes, that was her given name) had her fourteenth birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. It was so fun! There's something really satisfying about getting tickets to come out of a machine by the tens. My date was an interesting guy. He definitely wasn't my type, but we had fun anyway. After we spent all our nickles, all four of us spent our tickets on dart guns and then had an all out war in the parking lot. Sometimes it feels really good to act like a total kid. Twenty four? Me? Naaahhhh  ;)

Now, I'd continue the epic tales of my weekend, but I'm having some serious trouble staying awake right now. Apparently that's what working for ten hours will do to you.

Tomorrow you get to be introduced to Milo. :)
