I'm seeing that guy tonight. He's been texting me throughout the week and has made it clear he likes me. This makes me insecure. He'll find out I'm actually a loser! He'll turn out to be an even bigger loser than me because who else would like me? (He does have a slight air of desperation about him, he's certainly more invested in this than I am.)
I had coffee with Instafriend yesterday and she grilled me. What do I want? What is it about Big Hands that I like that this other guy doesn't have? Why don't I ask Big Hands out? Is there any potential in the new roommate?
(there was also a conversation about open relationships and swingers that stemmed from discussing a book she was reading. She's quite open to the idea, her husband is strictly monogamous but they've even discussed going to a swinger's club. I'm mildly scandalized! Instafriend doesn't know about my sexual experience since I was with Walrus when we became friends, and she's so comfortable with her own sexuality it would never occur to her that I'm having such troubles with it.)
Big Hands: he's smart, positive, has perfect grammar and has devoted his life to making a difference. How is anybody going to compare with that? He's clearly an extraordinary person. That fact that he's a huge dork only endears him to me. But I feel like I don't really see him clearly as a person. He's my 'unicorn' as Instafriend put it.
I just wanted to deal with moving out.
I am slightly hopeful for tonight. I will give this guy a chance. He was very nervous last week. I wasn't immediately attracted to him but to be honest, I think some part of me is saying 'Kissing! There could be kissing. Go get kissed, you idiot!'
Glad to hear you're giving this guy a chance. And neither of you are losers! Nobody's perfect - everyone has gaps on their profile of life somewhere. Anyway, I hope you get some nice kissing!
