The last few weeks have been tumultuous to say the least, hence the blog-slackery. I'll start with the men (of which there seem to be many - my psychic told me I surround myself with men as a sort of protection. Living, breathing emergency hand rails).
The guy who was all needy (before I went to Vegas)? Well he came into my work last week and now he's been texting me saying how good it was to see me and that we should do lunch or grab a drink. Remember how I told you you were needy?? Ya, you're not helping yourself here.
Then there's a guy I'll call Tiger (he's a golfer) we've been out several times and he finally kissed me a few weeks ago (after I lost a game of pool). He's really sweet and I've actually known him since I was 15 or 16. We used to work together as cooks (I flashed him some bra one time for extra chicken fingers), and he'd drive me home from work but we were always just friends.
Anyway, it's been almost two months that we've been "dating" and he still hasn't tried anything. It makes me wonder - is it because he had a religious upbringing? (His parents are Jehovah's Witness' but he's pulled away from that and deems himself "unsure religiously". Still you have to wonder what he retained from that), so is he maybe unsure how to proceed? Is he just a gentleman? Do those exist?
Then there's Pseudo. I saw him again last week. We went for a walk and then back to my place and while we were doing stuff that doesn't involve sleeping* he said "I love you, Alice" just like that.
So I obviously ignored him, since I suck at life. Well and he'd had a few drinks and I was stone-cold sober so it really wouldn't be fair for me to take advantage of a weak moment.
Needless to say I've been thinking about it all week. I'm visiting my sister and her family in Victoria until next Tuesday which has been a welcome and much needed vacation. I have no idea what I'll do when I get back, but I'll worry about that when the time comes...

I've been dating someone efor about two months as well, and he's a complete, utter gentleman. He JUST kissed me last week! But it was really sweet. YES, gentlemen exist!
Like we were saying last night, at least your life is never boring! Gentlemen exist. I think normally they're nerds, but maybe ex-Jehovah's Witnesses make good candidates too. ;) Crazy about Pseudo. As if your dating life wasn't already complicated enough?
Oh, this is actually a better link, and the one I was originally going for. Of course I found it after I hit post. ;) http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/66795671.html
Wow so many boys, so much to do. Your life is definitely more interesting than mine. The second guy sounds great. Sounds like you're more interested in him, I say give it a time and drop more subtle hints maybe?:)
Men and mixed signals . . . grrr, story of my life!
I'm with P. What's with men's mixed signals? I mean, that's something reserved for women. It was US who tortured men with mixed signals, not the other way around. PURE craziness.

Mmm, CALL ME if you're in Vancouver (aka, come to Vancouver!!)
We can discuss ALL THIS while being far from stone-cold sober.
<3
Whoa, sounds like you got an array of different personalities in each guy. My guess would be that the super religious guy has a) never had a serious relationship, b) isn't sure what he wants or c) is just scared.
Just sayin' ;)
I'm always learning things on your blog, like "gentlemen exist." Haven't seen one in a looooong time, but nice to know they're out there.
