Okay, so there are a lot of dudes but all very preliminary and no one that's like wow, I want him.
Let's start off with everyone's favorite
Don't worry, you'll be glad to know I haven't talked to this waste of two years (or possibly even three depending on how you look at it) of my life in ages. I kind of miss his mother, she was so sweet. Weird, no?
He went and got himself a girlfriend. I'm really happy for him because he deserves someone awesome BUT I miss hanging out with him so hardcorely. I think I'll call him this weekend.
It seems everyone is going and getting themselves a girlfriend. Again, happy for him. I need a man who doesn't freak out at the prospect of a hypothetical question... Or the prospect of seriously dating a jew for that matter.
Now on to the new folks:
Okay, he did that whole way too into me way too fast thing and it flipped on the bitch switch. Gotta love that bitch switch. I don't think I had any romantic feelings for him anyways.
So I was kind of dreading meeting him because he was too obsessive and said weirdass shit to me like "I love you" right off the bat. Anyways, we went out for korean barbecue a few days ago and I actually had a lot of fun. One thing. He sets off my gaydar like mad. Now I know it was kind of bashed to pieces by art school but he reads a ten out of ten on it. Very confusing. This is making it hard for me to be sexually into him. But I had so much fun with him.
This guy has almost EVERY video game my heart desires. And a sexy TV for me to play them on. Could it be love? Haha actually I only hung out with him once, and it was less of a hangout than me taking over his television for at least eight hours and playing to my hearts content... as he drifted off to sleep. What kinda dude allows a stranger into his house and feels comfortable enough to fall asleep?! I don't know... But I kind of want to find out. We send amusing text messages and emails back and forth and had a staying up endurance contest, which, of course, I won. He owes me free skydiving once it's back in season. He unfortunately lives at the train-stop-of-doom. I dubbed it thus because the one time I was there, I was quaking in fear at the over three hundred spiders on the platform. Will I be taking the train to see him? Unlikely.
So, before we did the actual meeting we did the talking for ten hours straight online and giving up sleep thing. I love when I find people I can talk to like that. So yeah, there may have been a little pre-meeting crush. Anyways, we went to play pool. He bought me drinks, which was sweet. I kicked his ass on the first game and then steadily went downhill from there, but in the end became what we dubbed the "Champion of the Night". I have a sneaking suspicion he let me win. We made fun of bar art together, and it was magnificent, but then he pulled out the I really should get home to Leo (his dog) line. Really? Anyways, he walked me home (even though the bar we were at was right by the train) and was a perfect gentleman. Didn't try for a kiss or anything, just went for a hug. Now does this mean he's a pansy? Does this mean he's not interested? Does this mean he's respectful? Who knows. Although Probably not the last two as a few days later I got a drunken text message that I think was hinting at a bootycall. I told him to go home to his puppy.
Kind of stopped talking to him, except for the occasional message. Too sad.
I was so into him for no real reason. Well that's not true, we had weirdass things in common and could talk for hours and it seemed like minutes. Anyways, he was too busy for me and I don't want to feel like I'm the only one trying to get together. Officially have let this one go, unless he magically gets his act together.
He just got back from New York. I'm not romantically interested in him as far as I can tell, but I am interested in his extra 360 that he told me I could steal. Would it be wrong to take it? I don't even know if he's into me, although my ego tells me that he is.
Now I am very confused by this one. Okay, so a little back story- Last year during finals week I was pretty much in the studios for three days straight. He was there with me. He's funny. I'm hilarious, but you all knew that ^.~ Anyways, we got along pretty well. He knew I had just broken up with James (uhhh, which number breakup was that?) and had to witness some pretty heinous phone-calls, one in which James was all YOU NEED TO TALK TO ME and freaking out in general and would not listen to I really don't have time for this, I have to finish my projects for finals. Anyways, Fred is sitting across from me for this conversation and says "Just hang up on him, you really need to finish your work." and of course James hears a man voice and goes all crazy psycho oh are you fucking this guy, he totally wants you. Anyways, enough of the obnoxious ex phone call, I finally managed to end it and got back to my work. The Flakester was an absolute lifesaver and helped me with a few things, like drilling the correct angle I needed to stick the dowel rod in. One early morning after studioing non-stop he walked me to the bus stop and said something along the lines of "are you going to be here this summer? Would you like to maybe hang out?" I said yes, and then was promptly confused about whether he meant hang out or go on a date type thing. Anyways, he totally flaked out after that and I just kind of let it go. I saw him again in the foundry a couple of months ago when I went to pick up one of my JET recommendations and he was like "Holy crap you're still in Chicago?!" and seemed all excited. I have to sneak off while he's in the middle of pouring so instead of actually saying goodbye send him a text message saying we should hang out. Later that day I get a text message saying "yeah sneaking off eh... Sounds good to me! I can tell you want to fight, but I'm just glad to find out you're in town." We made plans to hang out and play a drinking game to watching battlestar galactica the night before I went back to Boston for thanksgiving. Of course the day before I get a text being like "I'm so sorry, I can't make tomorrow" Cut to a few days ago- I receive a rapid succession of text messages from him saying "I just got back in the states from south america its been a while since we last spoke i guess ive been way too flakey and busy to be of much use to anybody but i'm still looking forward to some of that philly show you promised to introduce me to when i get to chicago want to hangout drink and watch some episodes?" and there were a few more back and forth texts which I won't make you all read, anyways I asked him when he would be back and... He never responded. So what is this guys deal? What do you all think? Anyone? I'm sure my Zero readers will have tons of insight into this type of thing.
So I was kind of getting close to this one, told him all about James and his bi-polarness and douchebaggerie. I was starting to really like him, and he's the only one of these boys I've kind of been fooling around with. A little. He says he has to tell me something in person. Cut to later after some other activities and oh here comes the secret. Surprise, he's bi-polar. Am I a bi-polar man magnet? Am I just into these bi-polar folk? Is there something exciting about brain dysfunctions?! At least this one's on the meds. Anyways, I don't think I can do another relationship with a bi-polar man, but I also feel evil for cutting him from the roster for something he can't control. Dilemma.
We went to hookah. He was really funny. Totally seemed like a stoner, although he doesn't smoke anymore and apparently went to rehab for marijuana? Anyways, I had a lot of fun. Oh, and he's one of my people. I pulled out the do you have any diseases I should know about before sharing this hookah pipe with you and he said "only Jew.". I giggled. After hookah we came back to my place and watched some Curb. He went for the kiss, I did the tilt head away thing, he pulled out the fast "sorry" the night went on. I liked him enough to kiss him, I just didn't want it to turn into a makeout session. I also would feel weird if I kissed all these boys, so I should wait to get to know them better. Or something. Unless they lose interest due to lack of kisses. C'est la vie. Oh, he also downloaded cinema paradiso for me because I told him I wanted it and it was too expensive to buy. Sweet, no?
Him and I go together like hummus and falafel- deliciously. I want him to be my new best friend. We are scheduled to do a food challenge of epic proportion, possibly this saturday. More on him later, I'm freaking exhausted.
So is that enough boys for you? I'm probably forgetting some. Oh well, I can always edit them in. Tomorrow's episode- meeting a film making jew for some tennis. Tune in.
