Time to update y'all.  I HAVE A DATE!  

I figured I would meet someone at one of my races...and I did.  Ran with a lady for a few miles - came across the finish line about 1 minute ahead of her, when she crossed the line I congratulated her and struck up a conversation.  

I said "we should go run sometime" and got her phone #.  I texted her today and the conversation led to a running/lunch date for this Sunday!  

cfahner - 2013-01-01 6:05 PM Guess I will chime into this thread, starting the day/year off with being informed that the girl that I had been seeing some just doesn't see it going anywhere and just doesn't know how to create that spark between us even though she does like me. I understand there really has to be that "fire or spark" between people but i guess it hurts more when I thought we did have something.

Thought for the weekend [saw this and wanted to share] ...

"Have you ever loved someone so much that you wanted to keep them hidden from the world and all to yourself."

"Apparently, this is considered kidnapping"

turtlegirl - 2013-01-04 2:42 PM I don't know to do with the guy I'm seeing. Mr. Perfect on paper but very socially awkward and has no tact. Only allowed to walk right now. I mentioned to him via text that it was depressing how I could get my HR up to 105. His reply? "That's pretty leisurely. I think I at least hit that walking to the metro every day." Yeah, well I had suegery 2 weeks ago and its all I'm allowed to do douche. Remember that huge bouquet you sent me??I also mention I've never seen Saving Private Ryan. Two days later I get a package from Amazon, with the movie. And when I said I miss doing IM this year, he asks if I want to do the new IMC. When I say I can't afford it, he says what if that didn't matter?Wait did you just offer to pay for my IM?? HmmmBut the boy has not touched me in 4 dates. Like not even held me hand. And had to get buzzed on the first one bc he was so nervous.Ugh. I think he actually may have Aspergers. That my teacher diagnosis anyways.

turtlegirl - 2013-01-04 4:34 PM Sorry it's attack of the iPhone. My computer is on the fritz. And yes. Hence my thinking that there is something very wrong here. Showers me with gifts then doesn't try anything. Abbie said "I'm a beard" heh.

Muskrat37 - 2013-01-04 4:49 PM

Could he be gay?  I'm not being a smart .  This is just weird.  Honestly, doesn't make sense.  Why bother going on dates?  Isn't moving around the bases part of the goal?  

Have you asked him outright?  Or maybe you should just take the initiative and make a move.  Grab his hand - move in for a kiss...maybe after the ice is broken, he will turn into an animal. 

AbbieR - 2013-01-04 4:54 PM

LOL "beard" = gay.  No physical contact after 4 dates...something's missing

Teejaay - 2013-01-04 5:03 PM Don't make the first move!!! If you truly are interested in him and letting him know and he's not picking up on it then .....seriously ....he is not exactly a "go getter". Doesn't sound like he is shy and wimpy since he seems to be able to say things to you that are bold and pizz you off. Something is off ....with him.

I just learned something new.

BrianRunsPhilly - 2013-01-04 8:27 PM

Me too, now I need to figure out how to work that into a conversation! This is almost as good as when I learned what fapping meant. My ex has banned my boys and I from using that word in her presence. Which, of course, means we use it every chance we get.

turtlegirl - 2013-01-04 8:39 PM Awesome. Good on ya. Now to urban dictionary I go...

nerdjock - 2013-01-05 2:40 AM

What's wrong with the chick making the first move?  I've been known to do it.  Don't see the point in waiting for him to do it.  If you want to, then do.  Some guys just get nervous.

Muskrat37 - 2013-01-05 12:15 AM

It is exactly what I suspected it might be.
