New year, new me and
two new men.
2017, the year of
another reinvention. The year I get back on the health track. The year I stop
being single.
Well maybe best 2 out
of 3?
New Year's Eve I had
planned to go to a casino, drop $40, have a drink and be home before midnight.
Ya know, the usual. Before I headed to the casino I drove out to a Pokémon hot
spot. Yes, I became a Pokémon hunter. That even sounds pathetic to me.
Anyway. While I'm
arriving someone sends me a message on plenty of fish. Normally I just glance
and delete. But this dude was local so I responded.
Introduce online
small talk. Blah.
I mentioned where I'd
be and that it'd be a ton more fun than his folding clothes. He was dense and
didn't pick up the hint right away. Once he did, he agreed to meet me at a
karaoke bar.
He said he'd meet me
around 10. I got there around 930. I sang a song and as 10 approached I figured
he'd be like so many other douches I've encountered and he either wouldn't show
or tuck tail and run.
He did show however.
He texted me and I guess I saw him before he saw me. When he didn't come to
join me at my table, again my mind went to the other douches. Finally he saw me
and joined me. He even paid for the 2 beers, one was before he got there even.
The evening was
filled with drunk watching and attempting to get to know each other over the
singing.
I did get a peck at
midnight and a decent kiss at the truck to end the night. And he's still
texting me.
In fact, he came to a
basketball game and took me to dinner after.
And he's still
texting me.
Enter the 2nd dude.
I've known this 2nd
dude for years. He's hinted off and on the last couple months picking up
something with me. He hinted more action in the sack and less romance. I'm just
too damn old for that game and too long single.
Well he started
texting more this week and met for lunch one day.
Both seem to be
wanting something real and both keep texting.
My bestest friend
doesn't seem to think the one is good for me at all. Says he's a player and a
user. She doesn't know the other at all.
I'm willing to keep
my options open at the moment. I don't want to close any doors. I
Really want something
real and lasting in my life. Maybe 2017 is my year. I can only hope.
