A date with B

So on Tuesday I had a date with B.
He is a friend.
Remember the awkwardness of this night...and then my second thoughts months later here and here.


Well he asked me out for a date.
And since he had heard of all my sort of not so great dating stories I figured I certainly should give him a chance.
He suggested Terroni on Adelaide.


I didn't have the heart to suggest somewhere else though I had been there recently with MrConsultant (a different location/same menu) and previously before with MrKent.
I messaged him during the day to ask him if we were meeting at the restaurant or before hand (ie. what I was trying to say is "hey if this is a date...pick me up!")
He said "meet there...is that okay?"
So obviously I replied "sounds great :)" because I suck at saying how I really feel.


I was so so so incredibly nervous!
I was just a chatty cathy talking a million miles a minute.
He is pretty chatty too so that was okay.
We had some great food.
But I couldn't help but glance around and hope not to see MrKent or recall that date.
Anyway I quickly zoned myself back into conversation with B.


Afterwards he walked me to my car that was parked close to my work.
And as we stood there chatting.
I was nervous...and found myself saying "I had a really great time hanging out"...I mean I did but something about it seemed so automatic like it is my go to line after a date.
It's like I don't want to make the person feel bad.


And then I was panicky as I went to hug him but he was sort of leaning down.
And I thought well I can't kiss him.
So before I knew it he kissed me and then  I kept kissing him because I was so worried about it being awkward!
And it was fine.
I mean it was good.


And as I drove home I had a little bit of a freak out.
As in what the HECK am I doing?
Am I dating too much? Am I still not over MrKent? Should I take a break from all this dating? Should I move out of the country? 
Total freakout.
So obviously when I got home I reached out to Taylor.
Who instantly made me feel better by telling me "you're not doing anything wrong".
And it made me breathe a little bit easier.


Then Laurel messaged me ...here is how it went down.

Pravda= MrPravda, Dentist=MrDentalSurgeon, Ottawa guy=MrConsultant...just to help you keep it straight:)

The blank is MrKent

So yea safe to say I was having a little bit of a freak out!


Thank goodness B is going to Vegas/Cali on vacation so I can have some time to sort out what to do about him/this situation.
Part of me thinks I'm actually not ready for a boyfriend if that person isn't the right one.
But part of me thinks I'm so ready for a boyfriend if it is the right person.
I think I was/am bummed because I really thought MrKent was the right person.
Boy was I wrong.
What am I going to do?
Of course my ridiculousness had me lined up for a date the next night...Wednesday a date with MrPravda.

A Magical Friday

Did anyone else think Friday was NEVER going to get here?
That's how I felt this week.
A sort of yucky long week.


Anywho I was excited to meet up with Laurel for a girl's night of dinner and a movie.
We headed to Moxie's at Scarborough Town Centre (yup the same place from this Sunday date).
During the mediocre dinner (my food arrived cold and wasn't very good at all but the waitress was great and took it off the bill) we came up with a text for MrPhD.

I know I KNOW that is a horrible way to break things off.
However in my defense...we've been on a few dates over these last two weeks.
And remember on the last date last Saturday besides the back seat shenanigans during dinner he asked me how much I weighed.
I think that's kind of inappropriate.


So this week I've been sort of avoiding him...he invited me over for dinner and I made up a lame excuse of working late.
During the week he had such gems of messages like "Ok I had soccer tickets yesterday but you didn't get back to me"...umm okay what am I supposed to say to that?!
Overall I tried to just sort of fade out quietly but it obviously was coming time to break things off.
Plus I felt like he was kind of pushy (like the back seat parking lot thing he pulled the last time we hung out).


So Laurel hit send on this message before I could over think it and 
"Hey...been a crazy busy week.  Sorry I haven't really gotten back to you and I wanted to talk to you because I don't think I see this moving forward more than a friendship so to be fair I think we should stop hanging out."
And the rest of dinner my phone was silent.
With that Laurel and I headed to see Magic Mike.


Here's the trailer...as IF you don't know.

Yup. It pretty much was exactly what you think.
We enjoyed it thoroughly.
At least I had some good laughs.


During the previews they had the previews for one of the movies I'm most excited for.
Pitch Perfect.

Yup I'm kind of a nerd!
Afterwards I dropped Laurel off at home where we had some fun girly gossip chatting until late over a glass of wine.
Right before I was leaving I remembered to turn on my phone 
(had it off during the movie).


And got these gems of texts from MrPhD....you can see the last of my text message.

Ummm okay....especially the "not cool" part.
I felt like responding..."sorry dude but you made me feel kind of uncomfortable" never mind the whole bad kisser thing.
But I didn't.
I'm pretty sure I won't hear from him again.


So that was my Friday night.
How was your's?
Tonight have a big night planned with drinks out for a birthday party with one of the CanadaCrew (one of Laurel's friends).
Laurel and I are going to get all dolled up.
Should make for fun times...I'll keep you posted.

Drive in Date

So last night I went on date number two with MrPhD.
He came up with a fun plan to head to the drive in.
I haven't been in years!

Pic from here.

We stopped by the store to grab some Mike's Hard Lemonade.
Because what would be a drive in experience without sneaking in some fun beverages.
Plus since we've been having AMAZING weather it the Lemonade seemed like a great option.

It was hot out and we were all giggly about how this seemed very high school.
What better for dinner than... burgers and fries?

So we grabbed a patio seat at South Street Burger Company to eat before we headed to the drive it.

It was a cute drive in out in the middle of nowhere far from the hustle and bustle of downtown.
We decided to see Ted which had us laughing but definitely a very risque movie.
Here's the (WARNING Rated R!) trailer

So we settled in to watch it with our Mike's Hard Lemonade.
The second feature was the Avengers but since it was a "school night" we decided to head home around midnight.


I did like that he held my hand.
He also tried to awkwardly snuggle me in the car (but kind of hard to do because of the console between the driver and passenger seat).
We did have some good talks.


And then he leaned over to kiss me.
And he's kind of a sloppy kisser...just saying.
Or maybe I'm just a little bit awkward...or maybe we just need to work on that.
I just found myself pulling away a little bit.
I also am obviously initially the most awkward make out person ever because I get so nervous and worry about what the person is thinking!  


Darn I just don't know about this guy.
I'm totally having a hard time figuring this one out.
I think part of it is that he seems a little more rough around the edges.
He is clearly very smart and well traveled but I'm curious to see how he handles himself in different situations.


By that I mean how does he handle himself in more formal situations.
I find it incredibly attractive to be around a guy who can handle himself in many different situations.
From a hockey game to the work place to a formal evening out.
If a guy is sort of smooth in these situations I find that incredibly sexy.
I'm not sure MrPhD possesses that...but he might.


He did tell me I was pretty last night.
Which I obviously really liked.
And I'm more so just trying to relax and have a good time and not stress about things too much.


We generally do seem to have a decent banter going on right now.
So I guess we'll see where it goes.
I think we are going to hang out again Friday night.
Is it weird that I'm sort of apprehensive about this?


Oh yea and while on my date MrDentalSurgeon called.
Oops I totally forgot that I said I would be home after 9:30 and would have time to chat.
But then the drive in plans came up which had me out later than I thought.
I just listened to his voicemail and he said something about making plans to get together soon.

I just don't know when I'll have the time... between MrResident tonight, MrPhD Friday, MrConsultant Saturday afternoon and a girl's beach picnic on Sunday.
I'm one busy girl!


Do I try to go on two dates on Saturday???
That just makes me think of that episode of SATC when Charlotte goes on two dates and totally gets caught.
Hmmm probably not the best idea.


And if you noticed I quickly filled up my weekend.
I'm obviously trying to avoid Jacob coming up here.
And the best way to do that seems to be to go on lots of dates.
I'll keep you posted!
