Normal Girls and Bitterness Reboot - episode 2.0


8.03.11
 
Alrighty, got a few more messages today. One from the guy I've been talking to for the past few days, and a few from new people. Neither of whom I'm interested in, but they seem nice. Oh my word, I just said nice. I apologize. They seem like interesting, solid men, who hold no attraction - physical or otherwise - for me.
 
Whew. Better. I hate that word. Nice.
 
Anyways, went through and checked out a bunch of profiles last night and sent messages to a few people. Sent messages to a few people today, too.
 
I don't know if it's just because it's summer or if I'm expecting too much, but it seems to be rather slow-going at the moment...

New people! A few of them, to be fair, are people that I messaged last week who are now writing me back. One of them sent me this:
 
"Hey there
Whats up? J* here from Calgary, recent single guy, 5 11 tall, light tan fit body, wide chest, strong legs lol and big thick stuff down there lol just looking for fun and friendship
University graduate and clean cut guy
Nice pics by the way,,you are hot lol
Wana chat on msn?:) "
 
... His photos are all from between his chin and his knees. ... Stay classy, J*. Stay classy.
 
The best part? He sent the *exact* same message to my bud who's also on the site. Classy AND original. Double win. I'd like to point out that nowhere in my profile does it say that I'm looking for casual sex.
 
Though, as my regular guy (the guy I've been talking to for a week or so now) pointed out - "activity partner" is open to some interpretation...

... Wait, what? Yeah, we lost a few weeks in there, kids, sorry about that. Life's been nutty, you know?
 
As an aside, I'm not really feeling any of the people I'm talking to, and I must assure you that this is not because my two sisters seem to have scooped up the last two good guys in the history of mankind. Surely that's not so.
 
In fact, I know it not to be so, because I half-met a guy who seemed really quite awesome the other day.
 
Did I do anything to indicate interest? C'mon, you should know me by now. Of course I didn't. I wallowed in my paralyzing shyness and did my best not to stutter and/or remain completely silent. Besides, how much flirting can a girl do in a courtesy shuttle?
 
No. Really. I'm asking.
 
Anyways, so there may not be much - or anything - to report, but I am still alive. I am still floating a little bit on the chance meeting earlier this week, even though I will quite likely never hear from or see the guy again. The lesson to take from this is that I have a considerably more positive outlook than I have had in the past. And apparently it's still possible for me to get those stupid little butterflies, even though I thought them long since extinct.
 
Well, that would be the lesson to take if there were a lesson to be taken.
