Datestravaganza part II
Sooo...
After shaking of the Saturday night date I met Matt in Santa Monica Sunday morning at 10am. He runs Sat and Sun up there and invited me to join him for his post run dip in the ocean and lunch. He usually then walks around the promenade and heads to Barnes and Noble to peruse books with a cup of coffee. I am thinking way too good to be true AND he read my diary. Barnes and Noble with coffee is my favorite guilty pleasure!
I parked my bike on Temescal Canyon and I was looking to see who was at the beach and I heard a "Crista" and I didn't recognize him from his pictures. Shirtless and stretching in his joggers was Matt #1. He came over and I flinched... I don't know why, I think I just didn't register what he looked like. He was reasonably attractive but I wasn't attracted right away. But man, I enjoyed myself. We really didn't do anything, not even lunch. We walked back to his car so he could change into board shorts. He pulled out two Gatorades and offered me one unapologetically pausing to gulp some almonds to refuel. A man who brings gateorade... I can get behind that. He pulled out his shorts and I turned away. I said something to the effect of "let the nudity begin". He laughed. Good. Didnt' freak him out. We walked back to the beach with his tarp and just laid out for about an hour. Such easy conversation and he is confident and smart. ANd he compulsively buys books... like me! He's an IP attorney (patent law). he's a triathlete and just ran his first half marathon in June. long story short we ended up splashing around in the waves and then I had to go to work. No physical contact... just a couple I had a good times ending with a we'll talk soon. It's funny after the first ten minutes I was attracted to him. hmmm. Nice teeth and I'm not going to lie, teeth are important! He is like the first normal guy I've ever gone out with.
Non committal and vague... just the way I like them these days. Safe, easy. We'll see...
Today I had coffee with Matt #2
hockey player, tall (6'4!), adorable and kind, open and funloving. But I fear, not all that deep. Not that he needs to be overdramatic... but I caught a few to many bro's and yeahs. I don't know, it was really easy to hang out with him, so we'll see. He might become a nice friend. I liked him.
Tommorrow... i know, i sound like a freaking revolving door. I swear this has never happened before. Tomorrow Ryan from Pennsylvania (who happens to be in town for that month at USC) and I are getting together after his 8am lecture. THEN and this is the exception, after the show I had planned on going to see Raphael's hockey game (my aerial partner.. married, safe, no worries) and Joseph, a server at Pirates who's asked me out for like 3 months now, is going with me.
Joseph is the exception because he works at Pirates and I had made a rule about that. I have been aware of him for many months. He's kind and seemingly genuine and hard working. He has very politely been asking if I want to go riding with him sometime (he rides a motorcycle). I said yes a few times and he smiled but hasn't managed to ask for my number or set up a time. Then he got in a motorcycle accident.. no riding for Joseph. He's been making small talk with me lately and he has such a sweet energy to him...but he works where I work, ugh. So on Saturday he asked me how Raph's game was last Tuesday and I asked if he wanted to go to one with me... they're every Tuesday. He said yes, yes, this next Tuesday. and that's that, I thought I should just put it out there. So I haven't seen him since and I know he's working tomorrow so I just assume he's coming.
All these boys. Where did they come from?
Funny, I had two odd dreams too in the past couple days. One involved Casey and I just know my subconcious is still dealing with him sometimes. The other one though... I was dating my father! a bunch of stuff happened but at one point my father and sister and I left the house to go to McDonalds. Inside my dad asked me if I was about to break up with him. I had been uneasy the last several days because I was going to break up with him, I didn't feel right, I felt like I was being drowned. I said yes, i was going to break up with him and he started to berate me and my sister too. I looked up at him and cried "I want a Father A FATHER! Is it too much to ask for you just to be my Dad?" He and my sister walked out and drove away leaving me there. It was such an awkward dream.
