doglove, I know you made it clear that you were just looking for a friend. Did he seem interested in that? Would you want to be his friend?
The past few weeks have been dragging. Next week I'm off on vacation. So, OF COURSE this week is moving the speed of molasses.
I am not sure, he said he would be interested in meeting up to walk the dogs together. The way he kept talking last night though, I don't want to give this person the wrong idea. The guys at work are telling me that apparently my "niceness" comes across often times as flirtatious and bubbly, but I made it clear last night I was not looking for a dating situation and that I was looking to meet new people to hang out with that shared my same interests. IDK honestly if this is the type of person I'd like to hang out with either, he talked a LOT. Hence the headache at the end.
Yikes, a surprise first date sounds like no fun doglove. I vote you try out the meetup for introverted women anyway tonight.
I finished the scarf I've been working on last night! I still need to sew in the loose threads and then I'll be completely done. I'm proud of myself for finishing "on time."
Yesterday evening I also went to my second acupuncture treatment. He left the needles in me for at least an hour and a half! I feel so much less congested and I can actually sleep, despite the prednisone! I think I even dozed off while I was there. I hugged him a couple times at the end of the treatment because I felt so much better.

If you do want to meet up, I would just make it clear. Say something like "I just want to make sure that we are on the same page. I'm just looking for new friends. I'm not looking for a relationship."
Hope you feel better pinkplasticdoll - I had to take headache meds this morning. Blah!
I vote no on this gut becoming a friend of this happens one more time (if you even meet up again). No one needs friends who give them headaches right from the start.

Well to be fair, I'm sure I got the headache because I was stressed out about doing a meetup (stressful to put myself out there) and also not eating until it was over.

Fair enough. One more chance for him then, I suppose.

Yes on the positive side - the take away was that I focused on myself, how I felt during the interaction and my observations after the fact. I didn't worry what he thought of me, if he liked me, etc. So I think overall the situation was a win for me in that regard.
Another random: one of my coworkers, who I've known since 2007 from another job, wants to set me up with someone. The guy he wants to set me up with is another coworker and I'm pretty sure I know who he has in mind. I only agreed to try out a friendship, nothing more. Both of these men are in the same program as the one I used to have a crush on, p&g.

I'm looking forward to the week being over. My biannual project is so close to being done I can taste it and I'm ready! This year has been an especially hard one. I can't wait to be able to concentrate on my normal every day tasks!
I'm also considering inviting the guy I met a few weeks ago to a movie. We haven't talked in a few weeks though so I'm not sure.

What's the harm?
No harm, really. I'm just being shy... I'm kind of "out of my element" in the dating world. A casual hanging with friends at the bar is one thing. A solo date is a little more intimidating.

Doooooo Eiittttttt!
I probably will. I just have to talk myself into it first. ;-)
I have a therapy appt at noon and then it is straight to a 2-hour meeting. So let's hope the therapy isn't too draining so I can focus and not look like I went through the wringer.

I am eating leftovers from my favorite Mexican restaurant in the whole world. They had a posole special and it is seriously amazing but so spicy! It is clearing out my sinuses so well though. I should mail some to tiramisu!
I have successfully weaned A from her pacifier. It helped that she bit the top off so it's been broken and I've been putting her off telling her I'd fix it.
They are hanging holiday banners on the light poles out front. I hope they string up some lights too.
