This week, although short, has been just as much of a pain in the butt as weeks past. This job officially sucks. Today I finally got some details though. They are intentionally making this painful to make my future boss grow a pair… ARGH!!!! My job isn’t to babysit people who own me!
On a much better note, my third grade crush has decided to come visit me this weekend. I am very, very pleased with her decision!
I’m in NC for the weekend. I’m visiting family and seeing friends. I just had lunch with a young lady that I have known since High School. Ofcourse she is now married and has a kid. She is still looking as good as ever and is doing great. I’m jealous. But back when she would’ve had me, I was an ass. Tonight I will go out with another woman, one that I had a crush on long ago, since 3rd grade….. I haven’t seen her in 12-13 years.
I will update you, my loyal readers, with more details once I return. I am once again about to go on another short notice business trip. I love the travel, but unfortunately it keeps me single.
Went out tonight, kinda spontaneously with a young lady I met on Yahoo Personals. I was excited about it because we seemed to have a few things in common. We met and went for a walk down the beach for a while. Time just to talk, I have to say that she made a good first impression. We are going to go out again on Wednesday on a more formal “date”. I’ll keep you guys posted.
I was given today off. I didn’t use it to accomplish much. I went to the grocery store and laid around the house. I did buy myself a pumpkin while I was at the store. I spent a while this afternoon carving it up. 
I think it turned out pretty good.
So my cougar and I went out again last night. We visited a local haunted house. We had a good time. Her potential for actually dating me has grown. On another note, “Ms Slow” and I did spend a few nice nights together, but again she has grown scared of becoming more then friends. She wants to remain friends for a while, then maybe later on get more serious. But I have to say that she is the one that pushed the relationship further along. Now I feel it may have grown sour. I hope not…. Meanwhile, the cougar and I will continue to date and have a good time. Here is a picture of her and I from the formal last week.
Well, my fate has been decided by those who command me. I am to remain here and start up a new company inside my Battalion. I was very dissapointed with there decision. I wanted change so terribly bad. I needed it. So, with the lack of change placed in my life back work, I have decided to make change inside my own life. More to follow on this. The assignment has the potential to make me very happy or very unhappy. Which one has yet to be decided.
“Ms. Slow” and I hung out on Thursday. I have to say it was one of the best dates of my life. We didn’t even do anything spectacular. Dinner and a movie at my place. We are going to see each other once again tonight… We have a chance once again, but I want to remain the theme of our fledgling relationship.
Last night was the formal. The event went well, but I found myself board with the same ol’ “formal.” Our unit needs some serious overhaul when it comes to events like this. My date was the “Super Cougar,” as she has been crowned by my peers. We had a good night, but there is a connection missing. Strange…. I am not sure what it is.
So the new lady friend and I spoke as I mentioned. She let me know she is interested in slow and I agreed that slow is good. However, i don’t think she has time for me in her life. Now this is a change for me. I am normally the booked up guy. In the past few years, however I have grown up both at work and at home and I can create more flexibility in my life as needed. I am getting ready to go out of town on business for a few weeks and I return just prior to a formal engagement for my organization. I love these things. I enjoy getting dressed up, going out and socializing. This year looks like it will be my second year in a row where I will find myself alone, no date…. I hate it. It is things like this that make me dislike my life. Generally everyone will have a date. Hell, all my peers have wives that will escort them. I do not want to sit alone again………
What the hell is wrong with me anyway? I am secure. I am stable (mostly). I have set myself up financially. I have saved a small fortune towards my goals and retirement. I am a gentleman in all respects. Once I get to know someone and see that we care for one another, I do absolutely everything I can for them, especially the little things. I don’t come on too strong though. I am pretty relaxed. I am not demanding or self centered. What is it, someone tell me? I hear all the time, “you just haven’t found the right woman yet.” I hate that. Everywoman I meet spends the first few dates asking me, “why aren’t you married yet” or telling me that I am a good guy. Hell, everyone tells me I’m a good guy. So, why then am I fast approaching 31years old with nothing of a relationship to show for it? Why?
Last night I had my second evening with the new lady in my life that I mentioned on my previous post. She and I seem to attracted to one another. I had another great night with her and I look forward to our third evening together. We have been talking with each other about every night since we first met. Let me tell you what, the conversation has been nice. She can actually hold an adult conversaton. Which, by the way, is a very nice attribute to have. She, like me is a very busy person. She has been career focused her entire adult life much like me. So, in the end she can relate to my life and my pace. Which has also been entirely career focused. I will attempt to keep you guys as updated as possible as things progress. I feel so much better….
I just returned from my first post break-up date. It was fabulous. I feel so great. Not only she is smart, funny, successful and drop dead gourgous, she was / is exactly what I needed. We are going to go out again on Wednesday. I know… look at me. We haven’t talked about relationships or anything like that and I hope we don’t for a while. I hope that her and I don’t even talk about a relationship between us for a while. I just wanna be relaxed and enjoy her company with no pressure and no worries. Great food, conversation and time is the order of the day… I feel like a man again. It’s nice. Have a lovely night everyone. I must be getting to sleep.
So I have been off work for just over one week now. I have gotten very little of what I wanted to do accomplished. I have worked in my yard quite a bit. I have been removing stumps from my property. This has proved to be some very hard work. I find that I enjoy hard work. I enjoy being in the yard. So in the end I enjoy getting the stumps up. The people who owned this home before me did not believe in having a yard. So, it had no grass and was in very, very bad condition. I removed most of the debris when I purchased it a few years ago. However, while it was rented out I didn’t get much time to progress the yard. I have lived here now for about one year. Finally all my hard work is paying off.
I have reactivated my internet dating profiles… I think I am ready for it. sigh…… I have one on yahoo and one on match. Already I am getting responses, but I just never know… I want someone in my life. The next few days will all be indoors because of the storm pushing rain onto Savannah The boredum will set in. Maybe I’ll just go back to work tomorrow or Friday.
So after a little debate I decide to accompany a friend downtown for the night. I have to admit that I was a little on the tired side and frankly nervous about going downtown. I have not really been out and remain afraid that I will run into “her”. However, I had a nice time. At about 930 i drank a red bull (which sent me from tired to dancing on clouds in about 10 minutes) and I quickly started to enjoy the thought of a night downtown. We just walked around and chatted it up about this and that. Niether of us drank, but we kept moving enough that we didn’t get bored. When we did stop we just watched people and giggled at the plight of humanity. We talked quite a bit about her newfound hate of dating Soldiers. I can’t say I blame her. We Soldiers are a different breed and take some getting used to. On the subject of dating, I am officially back on the market. I’m gonna start shopping for dates now……….. <~~~ yikes! On that note I should hit the hay. I will undoubtedly write more on this soon. G-nite
