It's back to school for my sweet, chocolate ass...
I'm back to crowded hallways, starving in the library, long lines, and sleepless nights... But it's what I've got to do...
Basically, I'm the "all achiever"... Thus, I'm sticking my head in anything and everything I can possibly get into. I'm one of the captains of my college's competitive cheer squad, on the tennis team, in the pre med club, french club, art club, student activities club... I'm working two jobs, and looking for another, and finally I've decided to load myself with 18 credits for the semester (the maximum). Saying "I'll be busy" would definitely be an understatement. But, this is where, and how I thrive. Somehow, I just do well, with all the pressure... And it'll give me a break from my SB goals...
Not to say that I've let it go, because I haven't, but I think now, that this should be good for me...I need to firstly get me under control, before I go tackling this... I need to have only the best head on my shoulders, so I can be at my best when trying to snag me a good SD... I have been searching still... But not as viciously as before... I've signed up for a few more sites, but I'm taking it slow... I've only been checking my email 1x a day... compared to the 15-20x a day I used to...

I have, however, been on 7 dates in the past week... Not with Pots... but with guys that I figure I'll practice on in the meantime... I've decided to take some advice from the lovely Creole, and see if I can work my magic on guys closer to my age... If I can get them to get me things, then I'll be all the more ready to get what I want from my future SDs...
Firstly, the TruckDriver... Simple huh... lol... I met him parhazard, in a cab on the way home, and he got my number... We went out last week, and he took me to a nice, chic lounge/pool hall... He's older, 36, but I wasn't phased by that at all... He's tall, chocolatey dark, and very much handsome... Shaved head, and a strong back... Single, and no kids... I had a great time with him, but I got a little inkling that he was a little too interested in my body, and not my mind... So I'm going to keep him on a long leash... Maybe, I can get him to pay for my driving test... It's coming up soon, and he offered to give me a few lessons in his nice Audi...
Next we have BrownEyes... I met him at the club, and gave him my Google Voice # when he asked... Surprisingly, he turned out to be a great couple of dates... We went to eat at a sushi place near me... ((my first time with sushi--can't say I love it)) He saw me pushing the food around, and offered to take me to a great burger place... I loved it... He's easy going, and well-off for his age... Only 28... But super polite, and not creepy in any way... I marked him off as a creeper because I met him at the club... We'll see his true stripes of spots soon...
We went on a second date to the movies... That just happened to be by the mall... I offered to pick a movie, and purposely chose one that was a couple hours off... Hence, we had nothing to do but walk around the mall... I stopped into an ALDO, and tried some shoes on... Ladies... BrownEyes liked them so much, he paid for them... They weren't expensive Louboutins, but that made my day... $60 shoes... I'll take any pair of shoes for free... I was so giddy afterwards... The movie was a bore, I'd seen Crazy, Stupid, Love so many times already... On my way home, I gave BrownEyes a little kiss on the cheek, and practically skipped on home... New shoes in hand...
I had another date with another guy, HeadHunter... He actually works at the same hospital my mother works in... but in Human Resources... ((I've already inquired for a position)) He's 36, and cute... Met him on CL.com which is really different for me. Super corn ball, and it's so cute... He took me to Central Park and we walked around a bit... ((thank the Lawd I had flats on))... The stroll was nice, easy going, and it was nice not eating for a change... HeadHunter says he was raised by his 6 older sisters and I was afraid he could read me completely... Afterwards, we went to the wax Museum, on 42nd, and had a blast posing and taking pics with the figures... It was fun, and relaxing to be myself... ((but not all of myself))... I didn't get anything but money for a cab ride back home... But I'll keep him around...
***Going out on these dates were a good idea for me... Just when I was doubting my natural, quick wit, charm, and beauty... they've reminded me that if I don't have confidence in myself... No guy... let alone a SD will...

Hey girlie! Great post! I'm really glad your easing out of the POT chase a bit. I used to do the same thing, check my messages multiple times a day and it does drive you crazy, esp like in my case, if you don't really luck up! That's also great that you're practicing on "reg" guys. I've been doing the same and it's crazy because all I have to do is bat my lashes and smile and I normally get whatever i want from the "norms" but with POT's it's difficult. Maybe because they are well seasoned and know the "game"? Hmmm, not sure. But anyways, I'm glad you're doing better! Good luck this semester! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much... I really hope this semester gets better for me. I'm taking on the hardest courses so far...
ReplyDeleteThe dating thing is nice... It's relaxing, and fun to see how I can manipulate these guys... But it's practice till I get in the big leagues... I am talking to a POT now, and hopefully all this time spent on these norms will help me get somewhere with him...
Good luck for you... and thanks again...
