Yep, any of those would adequately describe what I think of myself right now. Or all of the above even.

So last night yours truly decided to bite the bullet and went to meet this blind date I've been talking to for a few weeks now. Going in already kinda liking him, I was evidently nervous. Plus I had just gotten off work and did not look my best. Doh.

We decided to meet at a busy intersection, mistake number one.

Then we headed out to dinner. My mistake. Since dude had already eaten it ended up with him watching me eat. That was quite a disaster. This is after me taking 30mins to order my food, thus giving him the impression that I didn't like the place he chose.

Alright so we were talking and the conversation was good. Me trying to keep my mouth shut and let the guy talk while he yaps away. It went very well for awhile, he seemed engaged in it and I thought it was interesting. Cool.

After a lil while more I realize that he's talking about other girls. Uh-oh, not a good sign. Everyone knows that you don't talk about other girls or guys if you're interested in who you're with right. Oh, shit, oh, shit...definitely not a good sign.

He wanted to talk a bit about relationships and his past experiences on dates and whatnot. Err...what the hell.

Another tell tale sign of how well a date is going has to do with how much touching there is. Minimal. Well it didn't help that we were sitted in an awkward position at the restaurant. Gahhh!

Oh-My-Fuckin-God. How difficult does dating have to be??

So we lasted about 3 hours. Not bad for a first date. At the end it was I who fucked up I think. Please bear in mind that I've been very, very tired lately. We walked back to said intersection, I avoided his eyes and mumbled, "give me a call sometime." And get this, I turned and walked away. He mumbled, "sure."

What is wrong with me?! That is so NOT how you say goodbye to a boy you want to see again. Oh my gawd!!! Idiot!

So yeah I had a good time, would love to see him again. But today is the next day and he hasn't called yet.

lol. Who the hell knew it could be so tough. This is way more work than I had signed up for!! lol
