Tabitha’s Neighborhood

location: harrys bar and grill

pros:

pulled out my chair, paid for dinner, etc. he's a really nice guy, successful, smart, etc. he likes music and plays guitar, likes to snowboard. finishing up his double major in marketing and economics in spring. owns a business that's doing really well. it's totally clear that he likes me. he complimented the way i looked and my hair. he looked nice, was on time.

cons:

he's really intense and works like 7 days a week. he has ADHD and it's totally apparent. my brother does, so i can spot it a mile away. he says he has just started a prescription for it about a month ago. but sometimes he seems really scattered. the date ran really hot and cold for me. there were times when we were totally on the same page and we would click, and other times where he seemed off in left field. part of me chocks (sp?) that up to him being nervous. he asked questions about me here and there, but he seemed to really talk a lot about work and his business...maybe because that's what made him most comfortable? for the most part, there was good physical chemistry, although that ran hot and cold for me coinciding with the conversation running hot and cold. 

red flag:

he's 25 years old and has never had an official girlfriend, his reasoning is that he's been so fixated on doing well in school and starting his business that it's just taken a back seat. he said that his business is nearly on autopilot and he feels like he can start dating, etc. i don't know how comfortable i am with this. i think the business would always come before a girl. we were making plans via text on saturday afternoon and i had an issue with one of my texts not going through, so as we were making plans, i started not hearing back from him. i automatically assumed i was having text issues. so i called instead and it went straight to voicemail. i thought maybe his phone went dead or something. turns out he was at work and something had come up and he just didn't respond. my question is why couldn't he have taken30 seconds to respond to my text and say "hey, i'm at work and things just got busy. i'll give you a call later". that's all it would've taken and i think that makes a bad impression and tells me that work comes first.

conclusion:

i think i might give him another opportunity. he has to initiate the date this time though. i kind of want to see if he can make an effort to make time for me. i think that talking about work for the majority of the time may have just been a little bit of nerves and i'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that. the whole never-having-an-actual-girlfriend thing kind of weirds me out a little though. 

....this is what it looks like, its quite big so I can fit all my clothes in it but also my mat.  I had a sports bag yesterday and my mat but what with my works handbag and my coat I was struggling to carry it all.  This bag has straps long enough to wear it in rucksack fashion.

Spiffy isnt it! and a bargain ta boot!

Yoga Kit Bag

...*punches air*.  Put in a make an offer bid on ebay for a really cute yoga kit bag it was £19 thats before £3 postage and I put in an offer of £15 and got it accepted so got the whole thing for less than the original price.  Woot!

....went really well, dispite the fact that it was raining and dispite the fact that the fireworks quite frankly sucked big time.  A snizzle and a fizzle and that was it.  My parents had bought though two huge blocks where you light one fuse and get about 10 fireworks going off they were really good it was more like we were having a display.  So I think next year we might get more of those.  We kept strugglign to light the fireworks because the stupid gaslighter kept blowing out.  Oh and then we had this pot of gravel to put the fireworks in but one roman candle fell over and started shooting fireworks in all directions.   This was added excitement especially when one nearly had my dads eye out! 

How do you use the Internet to stay informed about the things that matter to you?

Is it just my imagination but didnt we get asked something akin to this about a month ago?

So my work has started the new Yoga class at work, its FREE! so I went along last night, I really enjoyed it.  Im currently putting in a best offer on a really cool yoga kit bag so that I can put my clothes and my mat in the same bag instead of carrying two bags around with me.  Fingers crossed I get it.

guess who has a date on saturday?

this girl. glad i sent him a text.

ever since dean and i became facebook friends (ex-boyfriend, dean), he's been calling and texting.

today i find out he and his girlfriend just broke up and he wants to go out and celebrate being single this weekend.

crap. crap.

i don't want to date him. he's hot - but he's bad in bed, snores like no one i've ever heard before and had a girlfriend the whole time we were dating, which really is first and foremost.

ugh.

we'll be friends. that's it.

so if a guy asks for your number on saturday, texts you that night with an adorable "sweet dreams...", and you become facebook friends on sunday - when would you expect a call?

haven't heard from him yet...wondering if i should send a cutesy (yet clever) little text or something?

i don't want to appear over eager, but part of me feels like being a little forward couldn't hurt.

thoughts?

.....  Its forcast rain and its been raining this morning but at the moment its brightened up.  I want it to stay that way because its Bonfire Night tonight and we want to let fireworks off.
