A long one!
Where to begin?! Since I haven't updated in a while, I don't even know where to start.
My little trip to Europe was great - lots of food, visiting relatives and running around. It just went by way too quickly. TDH came over the night I got back and we just ordered takeout and cuddled on the couch together. He told me how he thought about me so much while I was gone and he was happy I'm back. I went out for a beer with him and his roommate the next night and then went back to his place to play old school Nintendo. He was being really sweet, putting his arm around me and kissing me on the forehead. After his roommate went to bed, we were just sitting on the couch talking and he was like, "I really like you. I love spending time with you, I always have so much fun. I just hope you know that I really, really like you." Then a little later he was like, "I just hope you're not seeing other guys or anything." I told him that I thought we already had this conversation and of course I wasn't seeing any other guys and that I had no interest in other guys, only him. I didn't go home until 4am and then had my manager working with me the next day which really sucked, but I managed to get through it and actually have a pretty good day. TDH text messaged me in the middle of the day that he hoped my day was going well. We talked on the phone for a while later that night before going to sleep.
The next night, TDH, Bra Girl, a new friend of mine I'll call Blondie and I all went out and met up with Nik and a guy she was out on a date with. We had a ton of fun people-watching at one bar and then dancing at another bar. TDH came home with me and we woke up the next morning, laid in bed all morning talking until noon and then got up and walked up the street and got brunch. It was so nice just walking together in the gorgeous weather having great conversation.
One of the great things about TDH is that he isn't scared to have more serious conversations and most of the time, is the one initiating them. When we were laying in bed together, he'd ask questions like, "What do you want from a relationship long-term?" Most guys run from questions like that, but he asks questions like that.
Before leaving my place after brunch, TDH invited me over to his place to watch a movie later on that night. Once he left, I went to Bra Girl's to hang out by the pool for the afternoon (armed with my SPF 45!). Later that night, I went to TDH's place but I was exhausted from not much sleep, I was struggling to stay awake during the movie. We were laying in bed talking after the movie and I kept dozing off, so we finally went to sleep. TDH was going to breakfast at his parent's house, so we were up at a decent time.
TDH asked me out to lunch on Monday, which was really nice. We met up at this great Mexican place I had never been to and had a nice long lunch together with great conversation. He called later on and asked me over again that evening to hang out, but I had too much work stuff to do, so I had to pass. Wednesday night, we ended up talking on the phone for over 3 hours, one of us should have just gone to the other's place, but oh well! Thursday evening I went to TDH's to hang out with him, his roommate, and one of his roommate's friends. We played some old school Nintendo and had a beer, good times. They all left and TDH and I had fun together.
Friday night I went out for dinner and drinks with Blondie. We both had a bit too much to drink and had to stay at the restaurant to guzzle water until we were okay to drive, but we had so much fun and great conversation. Saturday night, TDH and I grabbed some drinks at a bar and then went to a fun underground club for some dancing before coming back to my place for the night. Last night, TDH invited me over to his place to watch some 90210 and relax. We spent all day today together, just relaxing, talking and hanging out. Also had the best sex ever this morning, it was amazing. He told me again that he really likes me and that he thinks we have a lot in common, we truly enjoy spending time together and being with each other. So, we'll see how this goes!!
TDH is moving out of his apartment and is buying a house, which is awesome. Until he moves into his house in a couple of months, he'll be staying at his parent's house, which sucks, but it's smart. He goes to Asia for two weeks with his family on June 6, so exciting and an amazing trip.
I just really like TDH - he's smart in so many ways, funny, talented, confident, mature, sexy, and so many other things. I'm doing my best to be open and let myself be a bit more vulnerable than I normally would be so that our relationship can evolve. I've told TDH that it's hard for me to open up and let myself be vulnerable, but that I'm trying. He understands and told me that he thinks it's important in a relationship to open up, but he wants me to be comfortable and take my time.
So, that's the main update! As I think of more details, I'll post again! Hope you all had a great long weekend!!
Little update:
I left TDH's at 5:30pm today and TDH already called me again at 8pm just to chat while he was on his way back to his place from his parent's house after dinner. He's so freaking sweet! Also, don't you love it when guys do little things like look over at you and just reach over and brush the hair away from your eyes? Gives me butterflies! Sigh...

3 R's - Reassurance, Readiness and Relationships
Well, where to begin? So, after hearing about TDH's father having a heart attack, I was scared, irrationally, but I was. It was all for nothing though! TDH called Tuesday night saying he had been thinking about me and had been debating driving past his place and driving to mine earlier in the night. I told him he should have, but by that point, it was too late. We chatted for a while and I felt reassured that all was well. He even brought up what had happened on Friday with the whole being ready to have sex thing. I told him that I wanted to make sure that he was ready and that he was thinking with the brain in his head and not the brain in his penis. He said that he tends to over-think things and he thought about it a lot and he's sure that he's ready.
We were tentatively going to hang out on Wednesday night, but I was struck with a migraine, so unfortunately I was totally out of it. Told TDH this and he felt awful and asked if there was anything he could do. I told him there really wasn't anything he could do and that I just needed to wait for my medicine to work and sleep it off. We spoke again on Thursday and he told me to call him after my dance class to see if I'd be up for hanging out. He text messaged me before I got to call him and asked if I'd be up for 80s night at a club up the street. Why not? He called me and told me he had already had a couple of drinks and that he'd meet me there, a friend of his was going to drop him off.
When I got to the club TDH was definitely drunk, but it was hilarious and a good drunk. He was definitely "Sir Loves-A-Lot," as he told me he gets, he couldn't keep his hands off me. He grabbed me as soon as he saw me and gave me quite the kiss. He really couldn't keep his hands off me the whole hour we were there. We danced too and TDH kept doing the African Anteater Ritual from "Can't Buy Me Love," it might be one of the funniest things I've seen in a LONG time. After about an hour, we left and went back to my place. TDH picked me up and carried me into my bedroom and into bed. We started going at it. And yes, as you all already know, we had sex. TDH is definitely fantastic and really knows how to please me!
Here's the thing though. And I don't want you all to take this the wrong way and if you do, whatever. I'm definitely not a conceited person. I don't think I am supermodel hot. But TDH does. This is a bad thing in the sense that it makes TDH a bit insecure because he feels like he isn't good-looking enough for me even though I have told him that I think he's hot and sexy. He has told me on numerous occasions that I am the hottest, sexiest and most beautiful girl he's ever been with or seen. Then on Thursday and Friday, he asked me a few times if I find him attractive. I'm like, "Yes! Of course I do! I think you're extremely good-looking and incredibly sexy." Anyways, hopefully some more reassurance from me will help make him feel better, otherwise there really isn't anything I can do for him.
After some more fun on Friday morning, we showered, I got ready for work, and then drove TDH home. I think he really liked seeing me in my business clothes, he couldn't stop grabbing at me. Friday night, I went out with MJ and some friends, but I was exhausted and not really into it.
Saturday night, I went out with Bra Girl and her friend Nik to see some bands play. The two of them had been out drinking since 4pm, so by the time I met up with them at 10pm, they were wasted, but hilarious. We went to watch the bands and had so much fun. I had hung out with Nik before, but this time I got to know her and we have so much in common, so I think we're all going to hang out a lot more. After the bands finished at around 12:15am, we went to another bar and met up with TDH and a couple of his friends from high school. Nik ran into some old friends of hers so we all just sat at a big booth chatting and telling stories. We were having so much fun that we didn't realize that we were the only ones left in the bar and we had closed the place down. So we all left and said goodnight. Unfortunately, TDH was the DD for his friends, so there was to be no hanging out together after, plus he had to be up early for a long day working on the album, he's supposed to have it finished by Tuesday.
Sunday was a girl's day for me - Bra Girl, Nik and I met up for brunch and then went and got manicures and pedicures together. After, I just came home and relaxed.
So, that's the big update. I have some interesting stuff to post about my session with The Professional from this past Friday, but more on that another day!

New Names and Steamy Nights
I'll start off by announcing The New Guy's new blog name since he's not new anymore (prompted by midnite99!)... Because he is 6'4" tall with dark hair and he's good-looking, I shall call him Tall, Dark and Handsome, or TDH for short.
Saturday night was so much fun - I went out with Bra Girl and some of her friends to a fun bar for some drinks and dancing. One of the people that came out with us was a good-looking guy who took a liking to me. After flirting with me all night, he finally asked if I was single. Uh, how to answer that? TDH and I haven't had any "exclusivity" talk, but I'm also not looking to date anyone else right now. And when it comes to figuring out when you consider the person you're dating your boyfriend/girlfriend, I'm clueless. I've had to outright ask in the past. But in this case, I wouldn't consider TDH my boyfriend yet. I don't lie to people because I'm bad at it, so I didn't know how to handle this situation. I just told him that I didn't know if I am single, that I'm currently dating someone and not looking to date other people right now. He did the guy thing and asked where the guy that I'm dating is and if he treats me right. Ugh, I can't stand that! Can't a girl go out with her girlfriends? And why would I be with a guy if I thought he didn't treat me right? But anyways, he was crushed, and I'm not saying that in a conceited way, he really was. He actually pulled Bra Girl aside a little later and told her that he really likes me and asked if there was anyway to get to me. She assured him that there wasn't, that I really liked this other guy. At the end of the night, he told me that if I become available to let him know somehow because he'd like to take me out to dinner.
Sunday morning I woke up and was just laying in bed thinking about when I would call TDH. Just when I figured out when I would call him, my phone rang and it was TDH! Yay! I answered and he told me he had just gotten up and asked what I was up to. I told him I had just woken up and was still in bed. He told me to stay in bed and that he would come over in a bit. He wanted to know if I was up for hanging out that day and possibly making out for a while. Some of you may not find this funny, but I find it hilarious! I told him I was definitely up for it and asked when. So we made plans for later on in the night, after he had dinner with his Mom.
He called after dinner when he was on his way to my place and we talked for the 20 minute drive. When TDH got to my place, we drank tea on my balcony and chatted and then watched 90210 in my bed. He thought I was hilarious because I was being a bit spastic about my clean sheets. (Sorry, but there's nothing like fresh, clean sheets and a tightly made bed!!) After an episode of 90210, he finally made his move. We then proceeded to have a very HOT time for over 2 hours. No sex though, just making out without some clothes on and a lot of talk about sex - likes and dislikes. At one point, I said to him, "I know I might sound like a broken record, but I don't care anymore. But, I just hope you're into me in more than just a physical way, because it's more than that for me." He reassured me that he is and that it's more than just physical for him too, so I don't need to worry.
I know that when we finally do have sex, it's going to be ridiculously hot and mind-blowing. Thinking about it just makes the adrenaline shoot through me. He left after midnight even though he really didn't want to.
After work and keeping Bra Girl company yesterday (she was having boy troubles), I went to Target (love that place!) to grab a couple of things. After returning my shopping cart, I noticed I had a missed call from TDH. I almost didn't believe it because we usually don't speak everyday. I had to double check the date of the missed call to make sure my phone wasn't playing tricks on me. I'm such a dork. Anyways, I called him back and he told me that he thinks he's coming down with something, that his throat is really sore. I told him it could just be allergies since everything in this city looks green from the pollen. He didn't think so. We ended up having an hour long conversation about something else, which I'll post another time because I thought it was very interesting and I'm curious to hear what everyone else thinks about the issue.
Today I went to my third ballet class, which I'm loving! Can't wait to start tap which is my absolute favorite! After class, I had a missed call, from TDH! I was shocked, but I believed it more this time. We've moved up to everyday calls I guess. I called him back and he told me that he really is sick and he feels awful. He's coughing, congested and running a fever. Ugh, I better not get what he's getting. He told me I won't get it because I'm around sick people all the time with work, so my immune system is extra strong and his immune system was depressed from all of the work he was doing last week and basically running himself into the ground. We talked for a bit and I told him to let me know if he needs anything.
So that's all for now. I'm just ready for more dance classes tomorrow, dinner with some old friends on Thursday night and hopefully TDH gets better soon!

Friends
My Friday night out with MJ and her friends was definitely eventful to say the least. MJ had been drinking since 5pm, so by the time I met up with her and her friends at 11pm, she was wasted. We made it over to a bar in the chill part of town and I found MJ's friend Abbie at the bar and got a drink. Abbie and I wandered around the bar and found the rest of the crew, but no MJ. We chatted for a few minutes before we finally saw MJ sitting at the bar, text messaging with tears rolling down her cheeks. Abbie and I go up to MJ and ask her what's wrong. She says she doesn't want to talk about it and just bursts into tears again. So I sit at a barstool next to her that a guy graciously offered up and Abbie stood in front of MJ to block her from the rest of the bar patrons. After collecting herself, we try to distract MJ by talking about random stuff, Abbie starts getting hit on by some random old dude. MJ tells me that she's crying because her ex-boyfriend was with them earlier (they have the same friends so they end up hanging out together a lot) and it upset her because they are so good together and she doesn't understand why it didn't work out between them. Now she feels pathetic because she's "that girl" who is crying in a bar. I tell her how she's feeling is perfectly normal so she doesn't need to be hard on herself. Some guy who was trying to be nice came up to us and asked MJ if she had been crying, bad move dude. MJ busts out with, "F--k you! That's so rude! You should never ask a girl that! F--k you!" I apologize to him and he goes and buys MJ a beer to apologize to her. MJ managed to keep it together the rest of the night and ended up having a great time. I resisted going to a certain seedy strip club/bar because I had to wake up early the next morning to fly to DC.
At some point during all of this, The New Guy and I were text messaging back and forth. He wanted to come meet up with me, but he couldn't drive. I told him I was ready to pounce on him, he enjoyed that a lot. He told me that he "would like me now." I enjoyed that. But, we ended up talking on the phone for about a half hour before I went to sleep and I told him I'd call him when I got back into town from DC.
The trip to DC was fun. Best College Friend loved her bridal shower, she had a fantastic time and was in awe of how nice it was. The Matron of Honor and I are really getting along, so that's a relief. I knew her in college, but she was a bit of a pain in the ass then. She was bratty and quite a prude. But she lives in NYC now and it's loosened her up and made her grow up. So, I'm relieved that since we're sharing duties as the Matron and Maid of Honor we are definitely getting along!
I was beyond exhausted when I got back from DC. I was ready to go to sleep at 7pm, but forced myself to stay awake until 11pm so I didn't wake up at 4am ready to go. The New Guy called before I even landed so I called him back and we chatted for a while about the weekend. He also told me how he had another erotic dream about me the night before. (This is the second one.) He told me how strange it is that he's having these dreams because he never has dreams like this! After talking about that for a bit, he told me how one of his bandmates is in town this week to work on finishing their record, so he's going to be busy, but he said he'd ditch his friend a night or two so that he could hang out with me.
Last night, The New Guy called to see what I was up to. I told him I was finally just sitting down to relax after a busy day. He told me they had finished in the studio early and him and a couple of his friends were going to shoot pool and wanted to see if I wanted to join them. Uh, yeah! So, wow, I'm meeting some friends. That's some big stuff right there. So while I still get nervous when I am going to see The New Guy, this time while I was getting ready to meet up with him AND his friends, I was literally shaking.
I got to the pool place and found The New Guy and his two friends. He was standing next to one of his friends who, upon seeing me, says to New Guy, "Nice!" (Yay for me!) We had a lot of fun shooting pool and drinking beer. The New Guy wasn't even afraid to be a little affectionate to me around his friends. At one point, we were both sitting on the pool table next to ours, but we had some distance between us. New Guy put his arm around me and pulled me closer to him and kept his arm around me. Yay! (I know, I'm a dork.)
One of his friends left early, which New Guy and his remaining friend (the one from out of town) were happy about. I guess they thought he weirded me out because he asked me a lot of questions when I first got there. I was like, "Whatever! I didn't really notice anything!" New Guy said to his friend, "She can handle herself well!"
Around 12:45am, it was time to leave. Unfortunately, out of town friend is staying with The New Guy, so I couldn't really get him to myself for a quick makeout session. Friend did say to me when we were leaving though, "You should definitely come hang out with us again this week! I'm in town until Saturday, so you should come out again!" I told him I would. After a hug and a kiss on the neck from The New Guy, I was off.
Before I even made it home, The New Guy called me to "keep me company on my drive home." He told me I looked really cute tonight. We talked for a half hour about random stuff - pool, dance and then his dream the other night. At one point, he says, "We should just get naked already!" I reminded him that I have my requirements and then he laughed and said how he was the one who said we should take it slow in the first place! I agreed and said that I thought it was a good idea though and I like how it's working. He agreed and said I had a point. After chatting for a bit more, it was time for bed.
So that's the big update for now! I'm surprised I met some of his friends. That's pretty cool. Or am I reading too much into that? What am I to make of him telling me he had erotic dreams about me? It doesn't bother me, I think it's hot! As long as he's into me more than in just a physical way. But if that were the case, I don't think I'd be meeting any friends, right? Okay, I need to chill!

Action-packed weekend
This should be a busy weekend. I'll be going out tonight with either MJ or Bra Girl and then early tomorrow morning, I'm flying to DC to throw a bridal shower for Best College Friend. I get back into town early Sunday afternoon and should be hanging out with The New Guy then.
Talked to the New Guy yesterday afternoon for a bit. He asked me out for Saturday night, but I told him I'd be out of town, so that wouldn't work. I had gone out for drinks with some work clients on Wednesday evening and told him how he was almost on the receiving end of a "Tipsy Text," but I spared him. He asked why I spared him and I told him I didn't want him to feel like a piece of meat because I didn't see him that way. He laughed and said that I can not see him as a piece of meat, but he wouldn't mind being treated like one every once in a while. LOL! He told me next time I should definitely "Tipsy Text" him, he would enjoy it.
Last night, I went and observed a tap dance class for adults (not of the X-rated sort) because I really miss taking dance classes. So, I'm going to do it! Can't wait to start classes again. Anyways, after getting home from that and then getting sucked into "Rock the Cradle" on MTV, I took a shower and was getting ready for bed. The New Guy text messages me asking if I'm still up. I replied back that I am. So he calls and we ended up talking on the phone for almost 2 hours.
It's crazy how long we can talk for and the conversation just flows. He's amazed at how I'm not like most girls in my viewpoints on things, but I assured him that I definitely have a girly side and I'm definitely a girl! He kept saying how he wishes I was at his place talking instead of over the phone. I should have said that I would drive over there, but I just wasn't thinking. Oh well. We talked about everything from movies to relationships to marriage to sex to psychology to music. I told him how the whole "taking things slow" thing is a challenge for me, but a good one. We talked about that for a bit and he said that sex always complicates things, so it's better to really get to know the other person and make sure you want to take on the possible complications. Finally, at 2:15am, it was time to get off the phone and go to sleep. I told him if I go out I would text him and let him know, otherwise I would call him when I get back into town on Sunday.
So that's all for now. This is going to be quite a hectic weekend, but that's good, especially since I've been having very low-key weekends for the past year!

Taking it slow...
I'll just lay it out right now before I start with my update... The New Guy is the best kisser EVER. There we go. On to the update.
Wednesday night, The New Guy came over to my place and we chatted for a while. We listened to some of the music he and his band have been working on in the studio for the past couple of weeks and then put in a movie. Even though I was trying to sit on the couch first so he could be the one to pick seating arrangements, he managed to always be the first one sitting on the couch! I just sat in my usual spot and then asked if he was comfortable. Being 6'4", he said that tall people always look a bit uncomfortable when they sit. I offered him my spot since it's on the chaise part of my couch but he said he was fine. He said that he didn't bite and I could sit closer to him if I wanted. He finally took me up on my offer of sitting in my more comfortable spot and we sat next to each other on the couch and watched the movie, him with his arm around me.
Something very unusual happened about halfway through the movie though... My cat is a very social cat, but by social, I mean she'll say hi to people, but doesn't let anyone but me pick her up and hold her and will certainly not lay on anyone else's lap but mine. Halfway through the movie, my cat jumped up onto the couch, walked into my lap and continued walking into The New Guy's lap. He petted her for a minute and then she lied down in his lap and full on passed out. Ri-dic-ulous. She has NEVER done this to anyone but me. I was in total shock and told him that. Even when I got up once to get water, she didn't even look up, just kept on sleeping. Once the movie ended, New Guy picked my cat up and put her on his chest. I was like, "She's not going to stay there, she'll jump off in a second." Oh no. Not only did she stay there, but she just put one paw on his chest, one paw curled under her, looked up at him and started purring. I was like, "Are you kidding me?!"
After a few minutes of small talk about movies, I moved the cat away and The New Guy and I made slightly nervous small talk. The New Guy then went in for the kiss. After kissing for a minute, I told him how relieved I was that he was such a good kisser. He busts out with, "I didn't know I was being graded on a rubric!" Awhh, how nerdy of him!! I told him how when you wait for something, you start wondering about what it is going to be like. We kissed some more and then he asked how he was doing. I told him he was acing the test. Let's just say that The New Guy really likes Single Girl. He kept saying how he was sorry for putting his hands all over me, but he loves how I feel. I told him there is no reason to apologize, but that there would still be no sex unless I'm in a relationship. There was a mention about sex a little later, and I said something about maybe we'll find out someday, he responded, "Hopefully!"
After making out for a while, we talked again about how it's good that we're taking things slow. He said, "I really like you a lot, so I'm glad we're taking things slow. There's also another reason I want to take things slow." I was like, "Yeah, what's that?" Then he told me that about 4 months ago, he got out of a serious relationship. He said that he doesn't want to jump quickly into something super-serious, so it's good that we're taking things slow, but he really likes me. So, I was shocked, but I still asked what happened, just so I would know. He said that it ended amicably, but that they both knew it wasn't going to work out and that it wasn't meant to be. I told him that I got out of a serious relationship in January, but I'm already moved on, so there's nothing to worry about there. The New Guy and I continued making out for a while and then around 1am, it was time to call it a night.
I've already talked to The Professional about all of this and she reassured me that it's a really good sign that he's told me this, that it definitely means that he really likes me and I'm definitely not a rebound. If I were a rebound, he wouldn't be taking things slow. If he didn't like me, he wouldn't be bothering to share these things with me.
Talked to New Guy on Friday and we made tentative plans to hang out on Saturday, depending on how far along he was with the work he had to get done. He was going out with some friends on Friday night to celebrate the anniversary of a friend's passing.
Friday night, I went out to dinner with my friend Bra Girl and then I went out to a bar with MJ and a couple of her friends. I drank for the first time since July (I've been on medication for my migraines that can effect alcohol), but not too much. Around 1:45am, MJ, one of her friends and I were about to go on stage to sing karaoke when The New Guy called. I couldn't really hear him very well, but I told him what bar I was at and that I was actually drinking and about to sing karaoke and I would call him back after the song. We sang and it was hilarious. I was being a bit of a diva and getting annoyed because the other two girls weren't singing on time, but it was hilarious. I called New Guy back after the song and he said he was downstairs, so MJ, her friend and I went downstairs to meet him.
The New Guy told me he didn't want to take me away from my friends or break up the party, that he was just around the corner and wanted to stop by and say hi. I told him not to worry, he wasn't interrupting anything. MJ and her friend were wasted anyways and MJ was too busy flirting with the bartender to care! The New Guy was having trouble getting a drink at the bar, so just like when we first met, I stepped in and helped him get a drink. While waiting, he snuck in and kissed me, very cute. Sigh. At one point, MJ turns around and says, "So (New Guy), get this!" New Guy pretends like that's not his name and says, "Is (SingleGirl) dating some guy named (New Guy)?" Here's where my brain thinks like a 13 year old girl and starts squealing and saying, "OMG! He said we're dating!!" Calm down Single Girl.
After hanging out there for a bit, I offered to walk him to his car. MJ and her friend were going to take a cab home, she lives on the other side of town from me. So we walked to his car and then he was going to give me a ride to my car. (I was fine to drive, I had only had half a shot and a beer all night.) I asked him if he had been trying to get a booty call and he said he wasn't, he had wanted to stop by and say hi and chat. We got to my car and made out for a few minutes. He said how he could do this forever with me. Finally I said that it was getting late and time to go, so we said goodnight and he said he'd call me the next day.
While walking across the grass to my car, I spotted MJ and her friend. MJ asked if I could give her a ride home because she felt bad making the guys that were giving them a ride home stop off at so many places. I said I would, so I took her home and then I went home and went to bed.
The New Guy called yesterday and we changed our plans to hang out tonight for a little bit instead of last night so he could keep working. He said he feels bad because he doesn't want me to take it personally, it's just that we met right in the middle of when he is trying to get the album finished and in two weeks when it's done, he won't be so crazy with working on it. I told him not to worry, I was exhausted from not sleeping much and I wanted to get to bed early anyways. We ended up talking for a while about some hilarious stuff.
Saw a movie by myself today, "21," really good. The New Guy called while I was in it, so I called him after. He thought it was hot that I'm independent enough to go to the movies alone. He said he'd rather spend more time with me than just an hour and a half tonight, so he wants to make plans for later this week, but he still wants to stop by tonight and hang out, even if it's just for a little bit. I told him that as long as he doesn't see me as just a piece of meat, it's cool by me.
So, he came over and we watched a couple of episodes of 90210. It was time for him to leave, he said, "I better get going and go do my work stuff," and I said, "Well, I guess I won't jump on you then!" He replied that I probably shouldn't because if I did, he'd be here all night. We kissed for a minute and I told him I'd try not to take it personally. He told me not to, that it wasn't personal, that he should be getting home and if we start going at it, he'll be here all night and there can't be any crazy sex on the bathroom floor or anything. I told him definitely not! He said, "Plus, we're taking things slow and we're also letting the sexual tension build." I laughed at this and told him that I thought the sexual tension was definitely already building. He laughed and agreed. So I kissed him again and walked him to his car. We have plans to get together again later on this week, maybe Wednesday or Thursday, so we'll see!
For now, I'm just trying to stay calm and not over-analyze everything. I just know that I really like him and I hope he really likes me too. I think it's good that we're taking things slow, as long as it's for good reason, which I think it is - I think he likes me enough to really want to get to know me and not rush into anything too fast. I've just never been in this situation before - where you both talk about taking things slow, but actually take things slow - so I don't know how to handle it. How does it work? I guess I'm just a little scared, but a good scared.
Wednesday night, The New Guy came over to my place and we chatted for a while. We listened to some of the music he and his band have been working on in the studio for the past couple of weeks and then put in a movie.

I told him that as long as he doesn't see me as just a piece of meat, it's cool by me.
So, he came over and we watched a couple of episodes of 90210. It was time for him to leave, he said, "I better get going and go do my work stuff," and I said, "Well, I guess I won't jump on you then!" He replied that I probably shouldn't because if I did, he'd be here all night. We kissed for a minute and I told him I'd try not to take it personally. He told me not to, that it wasn't personal, that he should be getting home and if we start going at it, he'll be here all night and there can't be any crazy sex on the bathroom floor or anything. I told him definitely not! He said, "Plus, we're taking things slow and we're also letting the sexual tension build." I laughed at this and told him that I thought the sexual tension was definitely already building. He laughed and agreed. So I kissed him again and walked him to his car. We have plans to get together again later on this week, maybe Wednesday or Thursday, so we'll see!
For now, I'm just trying to stay calm and not over-analyze everything. I just know that I really like him and I hope he really likes me too. I think it's good that we're taking things slow, as long as it's for good reason, which I think it is - I think he likes me enough to really want to get to know me and not rush into anything too fast. I've just never been in this situation before - where you both talk about taking things slow, but actually take things slow - so I don't know how to handle it. How does it work? I guess I'm just a little scared, but a good scared.

The bump was a pebble
Well, the little bump in the road about Partyboy was just a tiny pebble for me to drive over. Thursday night, I text messaged PB and asked what he was up to this weekend and he replied that he was swamped and what was I up to. I told him that I wasn't sure yet and wanted to see if he would like to go out for drinks some time. His reply was simply, "I can't." Mmmkay. What the hell is that? Not even, Sorry I can't? Just "I can't." No, "Maybe next week"? So, whatever, on to another. As Samantha said to me, "You tossed out a bone. He didn't bite this time. Oh well. Next puppy." Love it!
I went out both Friday night and last night. Don't know what's gotten into me lately, I've just been in the mood to be out. I guess after not really going out at all for the past year, I'm feeling the urge to be social again! I think I'll stick to just one night out a week though, last night I just wasn't feeling it as much as Friday night. But I think where we went out had something to do with it too, the place was packed and the guys were so skeezy. Last night before going out we went bowling which was so much fun, haven't done that since college.
Friday night, I went out with MJ to the laid-back bars near where I live. First, we went to a different area to meet up with some of her other friends who were watching a band at a bar, but MJ's license had expired a couple of weeks ago, so the guy at the door wouldn't let her in. Douchebag. So we went to the laid-back bars.
There, MJ and I were getting hit on by random guys, some that looked like they could be 19 years old, it was pretty funny. They couldn't understand why we weren't responding to their advances and at one point, one of them says to me, "So, just because I'm 3 years younger than you, I don't turn you on?" Poor thing. He just wasn't getting it. Then he proceeds to say, "What if I like older women?" What a dumb boy, now you just made me feel really old. MJ was really struggling when trying to deal with one of this guy's friends, so we made our escape. We ran into one of MJ's guy friends at another end of the bar and while MJ went to the bathroom, I went to the bar to get drinks.
Up at the bar, I met the guy who is now my date for Thursday night...

Freaking Hot!
I had another crazy night last night, I didn't get to sleep until 5:30am this morning. So, I'm warning you now, this is a long one and at times, not G-rated...
Security Guy offered to get me on the list for a sold out concert in town if I wanted to go (even though he isn't in town, he helps manage this particular artist's tour), so I called up my friend from college, MJ, who is a fan of this artist to see if she wanted to go. She was up for going, even though her and her boyfriend broke up for good yesterday. Around 7:45pm, I picked up MJ and we made our way downtown to find parking near the venue. We went to will call, showed my ID and we were given front row tickets to the seated part of the venue. Woah. Pretty friggin cool. Thanks Security Guy! MJ was quite impressed, so I gave her the backstory on Security Guy. The concert itself was fantastic, she was on stage by herself, so that took some balls on her part and she's very musically talented. After the show, we went back to my car and tried to leave the parking garage which took for-ev-er. I think we sat there for a good half hour. MJ and I came back to my place so we could eat something before going out to the bars for the night.
After a snack, MJ and I headed out on the town. We got to one bar and proceeded to try and get drinks. This bar was ridiculously packed, so these two guys got MJ her beer and me my water, very nice of them. We were then obligated to talk to them for a while even though neither one of us was interested. Plus, none other than Partyboy was at another bar in the area and wanting to meet up with us. After a round with the nice guys, MJ and I left the bar and went to the bar down the street that PB was at. We got to that bar and met up with PB and some of his friends, including James, from the other night. PB had had a few drinks, so he was quite entertaining at this point and very gropey (is that a word?), but I like that. At one point, PB went to the bathroom and MJ leans over to me and says, "Wow, he really likes you!" PB kept taking little opportunities to kiss me or my neck or just have his arms around me. He was like, "I like that I don't have to watch what I say or censor my personality around you like I do with other girls. I can just be myself. That's why I like you so much."
After hanging out for a while, we discovered that James had never been to the seedy club up the street where strippers go to retire. MJ, PB and I are like, "We're going there now!" So, after paying the tab, we started walking towards my car to drive to the seedy club. James and MJ were walking ahead of PB and I, so PB took this opportunity to stop me and grab me for a kiss in the middle of the sidewalk. After kissing me, he decided to pick me up and carry me to my car. Being that he was intoxicated, I was not exactly thrilled about that, but since he didn't fall or drop me, it's okay now. We stopped at an ATM for the guys to get cash and then it was on to the club.
We get to the parking lot and James was having second thoughts. PB was like, "You can wait for us in the parking lot, but you might get shot!" So James followed us inside. PB bought James a very interesting lap dance from one of the strippers. James was absolutely traumatized. During his lap dance, I found out that he had never even been to a regular strip club before. Poor guy! This was his first experience. The stripper literally punched him in the face with her boobs. PB and I made out a couple of times there, not during the nasty dance, mind you. We left at closing time, 3am. We dropped MJ off at her apartment and then dropped James off at his place so he could disinfect. After PB attempted to have another parking session in the same parking lot again, I drove back to the area where the bars were so PB could find his car. Problem was, his car wasn't where he thought it was. Yeah, after driving around for 15 minutes, we found it on another street. Then it was time to figure out where to go from there. At this point, it was 3:45am and PB had to get up to go to work for two hours at 9am. Instead of being sensible, PB and I proceeded to have another little session.
WOW. That's all I can say.
WOW.
I can't remember getting so turned on by making out ever. It was so freaking hot, I just don't know how to explain and don't think I can. I think about it and adrenaline shoots through me and my heart races. We would stop kissing and I wouldn't even be able to talk. I couldn't even think straight or see straight. I felt totally intoxicated. I was like, "I am so turned on right now. You're driving me crazy!" His reply was, "I haven't even begun to drive you crazy." At one point, we both got out of the car and he pinned me against the side of my car and we just went at it. Before, I could say things, they wouldn't make sense, but words would come out. This time, we'd stop kissing, and pardon my language, all I could say was, "Fuck" or "Oh my G-d." Then, he picked me up, wrapped my legs around him and kissed me. He put me down and started kissing my neck, down my chest, lifted my top a little, and kissed down my stomach. I had to stop him then because I was about to lose all control.
My heart is racing all over again as I'm typing this because the picture images in my head of last night are flashing through my head right now.
So, we finally parted with a promise to continue on another night when he didn't have to wake up early and we could fully enjoy ourselves. Once I got home and was about to get in the shower, PB called to make sure I got home okay. Also, to tell me how badly he wants me and how much I turned him on and how he wishes he were with me about to get into the shower too.
Needless to say, I didn't sleep very well last night, in between dreams, some dirty, some not, I would wake up, turn over and then have another flashback and not be able to fall asleep again for a bit. Partyboy text messaged me this morning just to say hi and see what was up. I told him that I didn't sleep very well, but it was okay and that I'll see him again very soon.
Today I met up with MJ and some of her friends at the park where we just hung out for a few hours since the weather was gorgeous for a change. MJ's new roommate is actually a girl I used to take dance lessons with growing up, so that was funny.
Anyways, time for me to relax and enjoy some tv! Hopefully there will be more Partyboy stories to come!

On a Roll?
So, I had quite the unexpected Friday night. Seems like Single Girl is suddenly VERY attractive to the menfolk. Got a call from a guy I shall nickname Partyboy, who used to be at Shabbat dinner at The Couple's house when I would go there for dinner. He and I always got along and would laugh hysterically through the whole dinner. He's a good-looking guy, but nothing ever happened because one of us was always in a relationship. Since The Couple moved to LA and now Tennessee, Partyboy and I hadn't seen each other in months and months, I can't even remember when. So, he wrote me a note on Facebook saying we should hang out and I gave him my number. He called me Friday night to invite me out with him and one of his friends. Being the old lady I am, I usually don't go out on Friday nights. I'm usually just too tired after the work week to get dressed up and go out somewhere noisy. But lately I've been feeling like I need to get out more, so I told Partyboy I would go out with him and his friend since they were going to a bar near me.
Around 11:30 I met up with PB and his friend. We sat at a table on the outside patio and it was just like it used to be. I was laughing hysterically, as was PB and his friend. I had only planned on going out for an hour, but before I knew it, it was 1:30am and PB was asking where we should go next. By this time, we had moved to a table inside the bar. I looked at my phone and PB had text message me, "You look really hot tonight." Well now, PB! I texted him back that he's looking pretty good himself. We decided to go to a very seedy club up the street that's known in town as the place that strippers go to retire. Before going there, I went to use the restroom. Partially to fan myself. Goes to show how long it's been for Single Girl. All I could think of was that scene in the first episode of "Lipstick Jungle" if any of you have seen that. WOW. PB had also gone to the restroom at the same time as me, so I wouldn't have been surprised if that happened and was secretly hoping it would. But it didn't. He was waiting for me in the hall when I came out of the restroom but didn't make a move. He drove to the seedy club with me in my car and had his friend follow us in his car. I thought for sure he would make a move then, but he didn't. Boys. He did ask me if he could take me on a date. I told him he could.
The seedy club was quite the sight. I got hit on by some guys there too, but I certainly was not about to be picked up in that place. We stayed there for about 40 minutes before deciding to call it a night. PB and his friend begged me to go out with them again soon, they had so much fun. I promised them I would, that I had a ton of fun. PB picked me up and twirled me around and I gave him a kiss on the cheek. As soon as I got home, they both text messaged me saying they had a great time, PB adding that he was still up if I wanted to hang out. I declined the offer telling him to call me another time if he wanted to hang out.
Partyboy text messaged me a few times yesterday just to see what I was up to and then called me at 11:30 to invite me out. I told him that I was way too tired after being kept out until 3am the night before and not sleeping very well. He was being persistent, but I was not going to budge, especially since I hadn't been feeling too well all day. He finally said okay. Then about 45 minutes later, PB calls again to try one more time to get me out. Still wasn't happening. Then he says, "I should have kissed you last night." My jaw dropped. Sorry, I know it's been a while since I've gotten butterflies, but that turned me on, I guess it's easier these days! But, it still wasn't going to get me to get out of bed. Plus I would have to shave my legs. I told him he should have kissed me, but he didn't, so he'll have to do that next time. We have plans to hang out Tuesday night, so we'll see what happens.
The Security Guy and I have also been messaging back and forth. He's such a sweet and funny guy. So we'll see what happens there.
I'm just not ready for anything too serious right now, so this is all exactly what I need.

Naked Men and Music
Had such a great weekend with Best College Friend (BCF) - it was so nice to see her and hang out, it almost felt like we were in college again. She got in on Saturday afternoon and after relaxing for a bit, we got ready for dinner and met up with Crazy Girl for fondue. We had a hilarious time at dinner and flirted with the very young waiter. To show how young he is, I give you this funny little story. Crazy Girl decides to order an alcoholic beverage to drink with dessert and before giving him her ID, we tell him how he just made her night by carding her and thank him for that. He then glances at her ID and gasps and says, "Woah!" We burst out laughing, she's only 28, and then ask how old he is. We then find out the poor kid was 20. No wonder he thinks 28 is old.
After dinner, we took BCF back to my place and tried to get her to change into a more revealing top to go out in. She thought we were just going out to a bar or a club, but little did she know we were taking her to the all male, naked strip club. BCF, being the very conservative girl that she is, had only brought sleeveless turtleneck or cowl neck tops to wear to go out in at night. Not something you would wear to a strip club. We tried to get her to wear one of my more revealing tops, but she just wouldn't have it and would only consent to wearing a less revealing tank top of mine. So, since it seemed like she was getting mad, we just let it be and set off. I pulled up to the strip club and when she saw we were there and not a regular dance club, she was so excited! It was hilarious! She was bouncing up and down in the seat and clapping her hands. Then she says, "You should have made me wear one of the slutty tops!" Too funny. After being inside for a while, we told her we were buying her a lap dance. She resisted until I told her that she would regret not getting one, just like she regretted not wearing a "sluttier" top. The stripper we chose for her came over and she tells him, "This is my first time, so be gentle!" Wrong thing to say! He gave her quite the dirty lap dance. It was hilarious! All in all, it was a fun night and some guy at the club gave me a shirt he got that said, "Got Dick?" on it. I gave it to BCF to give to her fiance. Heh heh.
Sunday we were exhausted. I guess we're just not used to being up until 3:30am anymore! So we went to the mall to go to the playground, aka, Sephora. Then we saw "27 Dresses," totally adorable. Can Katherine Heigl please be my friend? She seems so cool!
Monday we went to see our favorite band in concert. It was so amazing, I can't even begin to describe. We managed to talk our way into a radio station meet and greet with the band which was just beyond words. Finally got to talk about one of my favorite songs with the guy who wrote it. Crazy. The concert was fantastic, we had 9th row seats and then the band's security guy remembered me from another show and got us from our seats to stand at the front row. Insane.
BCF had a 7:30am flight to catch the next morning, so it was all over pretty quickly. But it was definitely a crazy fun weekend.
Otherwise, things have been pretty much the same for me as far as work and the guy situation. I think I am going to write up a profile and get on jdate. I haven't dated in almost 2 years, so why not start dating again just to get out there. I can correspond with guys in Florida as well as where I am and just see what happens. I will be sure to make it clear to any guys I meet where I'm at that I see any potential in that I plan on moving soon, that way there isn't any misleading.
I went out to lunch with a new friend today and had a great time. She actually gave me some great insight into the jdate scene where I'm at, so that was actually kind of funny. She's also good friends with a girl who was friends with the guy I dated before The Swimmer. Such a small world! She invited me to see some band with her and some friends tonight, but I had too much work stuff to catch up on and hadn't even eaten dinner when she was on her way to the venue, so it just wasn't going to work. I'm hanging out with her on Friday though, so it should be fun.
On a sad note, my tv is having some issues. Not my cable, but my actual tv. And it's only 2 years old. The repair guy can't even come out until next week, so I'm stuck with the volume too loud until then. And, yes, my remote has batteries, it's not that! So soon I'll have to make the decision - fix the tv or try to sell it for what I can get and buy a new one? How come my Mom has a 20 year old tv that works perfectly fine, but these new ones break so easily?!
After dinner, we took BCF back to my place and tried to get her to change into a more revealing top to go out in. She thought we were just going out to a bar or a club, but little did she know we were taking her to the all male, naked strip club. BCF, being the very conservative girl that she is, had only brought sleeveless turtleneck or cowl neck tops to wear to go out in at night. Not something you would wear to a strip club.

So, since it seemed like she was getting mad, we just let it be and set off. I pulled up to the strip club and when she saw we were there and not a regular dance club, she was so excited! It was hilarious! She was bouncing up and down in the seat and clapping her hands. Then she says, "You should have made me wear one of the slutty tops!" Too funny. After being inside for a while, we told her we were buying her a lap dance. She resisted until I told her that she would regret not getting one, just like she regretted not wearing a "sluttier" top. The stripper we chose for her came over and she tells him, "This is my first time, so be gentle!" Wrong thing to say! He gave her quite the dirty lap dance. It was hilarious! All in all, it was a fun night and some guy at the club gave me a shirt he got that said, "Got Dick?" on it. I gave it to BCF to give to her fiance. Heh heh.
Sunday we were exhausted. I guess we're just not used to being up until 3:30am anymore! So we went to the mall to go to the playground, aka, Sephora. Then we saw "27 Dresses," totally adorable. Can Katherine Heigl please be my friend? She seems so cool!
Monday we went to see our favorite band in concert. It was so amazing, I can't even begin to describe. We managed to talk our way into a radio station meet and greet with the band which was just beyond words. Finally got to talk about one of my favorite songs with the guy who wrote it. Crazy. The concert was fantastic, we had 9th row seats and then the band's security guy remembered me from another show and got us from our seats to stand at the front row. Insane.
BCF had a 7:30am flight to catch the next morning, so it was all over pretty quickly. But it was definitely a crazy fun weekend.
Otherwise, things have been pretty much the same for me as far as work and the guy situation. I think I am going to write up a profile and get on jdate. I haven't dated in almost 2 years, so why not start dating again just to get out there. I can correspond with guys in Florida as well as where I am and just see what happens. I will be sure to make it clear to any guys I meet where I'm at that I see any potential in that I plan on moving soon, that way there isn't any misleading.
I went out to lunch with a new friend today and had a great time. She actually gave me some great insight into the jdate scene where I'm at, so that was actually kind of funny. She's also good friends with a girl who was friends with the guy I dated before The Swimmer. Such a small world! She invited me to see some band with her and some friends tonight, but I had too much work stuff to catch up on and hadn't even eaten dinner when she was on her way to the venue, so it just wasn't going to work. I'm hanging out with her on Friday though, so it should be fun.
On a sad note, my tv is having some issues. Not my cable, but my actual tv. And it's only 2 years old. The repair guy can't even come out until next week, so I'm stuck with the volume too loud until then. And, yes, my remote has batteries, it's not that! So soon I'll have to make the decision - fix the tv or try to sell it for what I can get and buy a new one? How come my Mom has a 20 year old tv that works perfectly fine, but these new ones break so easily?!
