I’ve been keeping secrets from you dear readers. With all my tooth talk the past two days, I failed to mention that I had my second date with “That Guy I Think I May Be Into,” who shall hence forth be known as Dr. D.
Yesterday I met Dr. D for lunch in the Meatpacking District. It was a sunny, spring afternoon and we spent it outside on the patio at The Park.
Now, in the interest of me actually liking this guy and wanting to continue to go on more dates with him, I hesitate blogging about him or our date. That being said, I still have no problem writing self-deprecating things about myself…
Honestly, sometimes I wonder how guys can date me. Yeah, my friends tell me I’m a great catch, blah, blah, blah… But you know what, I act different around my friends than I do my dates. I’m very comfortable with my friends. I can be goofy, funny, even a little kooky-crazy.
However, around guys, I still get super shy. And unfortunately, shyness often translates to boringness. I think that’s why I hardly ever make it past 2-3 dates with a guy. They think I’ll start to get more interesting… but I never do.
Sometimes I think it’s self-sabotage. I shut off all personality on purpose, just to keep myself safely single forever. But such is not the case with Dr. D. I am honestly trying my best to be more outgoing and personable. Hopefully, it’s working.
We already have plans for a third date, and he invited me to a show the first week of June. That means he’s stuck with me for at least 2 1/2 more weeks. That should give me plenty of time to prove to him I am a charismatic, vibrant, young lad and not a emotionless, unloving robot.
Beee-booo-bop. Does not compute.

have you ever considered telling him that you’re shy and that you enjoy spending time with him…but you’re especially shy around people you like? then you can easily segue into the people who you loathed and had no problem being bitchy to at first since you hated them and then grew to love them… yeah. bc i want to meet him too eventually. ;D
GO TEAM BK!

Having observed you playing cards / boardgames / Taints n’ Ladders over the years, one TRUE characteristic about you is that you are one competitive Son of a Gun. Which means that all you need is a little competiton to bring out your colorful claws. Give me his email and I guarantee you the fight of the century. Game on, beyontch!
