Back In The Swing of Things
Wow, so its April already. That makes me very happy, as you can tell, March was definitely an interesting month for me. But its a new month and time for a new me. I'm definitely moving on and putting all of March's madness (ha ha) in the past. And what better way to move on from a breakup than to meet someone new? Honestly, I was getting tired of sitting around and thinking about things too much. I've decided I need to think of someone new and concentrate on that. After signing up, or just simply reactivating, some of the online dating accounts I used two years ago when I met Elena (thank you match.com, not paying too much attention to that one!) So after a few weeks there are two girls that I'm talking to a lot recently. One I met on eHarmony which is supposed to scientifically match you up with someone you're compatible with after you take an insanely long personality test, and the other I met on JDate, a website for Jewish singles. (Hell, never dated a Jewish girl, I figure I might as well see what its like).
In the name of not divulging too much, I'll simply refer to them by initials, as most people do in instances like this. eHarmony girl is K, JDate girl is A. Here's a little about both.
K is my age, 26, she lives a few towns over, not too far a drive from my house. We actually went to the same college upstate, until I transferred my junior year to be closer to home. She works in the corporate office of a bank, working with real estate closings it seems. She came on really strong and I think has since backed off a bit, but I like talking to her. She's funny and we have some interesting conversations. Haven't spoken on the phone yet, but I'm sure thats going to happen soon. She's tall, like 5'9" which is a bonus, as I've never dated anyone over 5'3".
A is 23, soon to be 24, so a little younger than me. She lives a little closer to me than K does, but lives with her parents whereas K lives with a friend of hers in an apartmnet. A is currently going to law school at nights, right down the road from my office actually. She just started working at a law firm basically right down the road from one of m firms office, so we have that in common. She's also tall, like 5'10" and loves dogs (both do actually). We've talked on the phone, for a good chunk of time yesterday and today. I'm hoping to actually get together with her soon, for like coffee or a drink or something, so we'll see if that happens soon, maybe even tonight, who knows.
So I guess you can see who I'm leaning towards, but who knows, that could change and they both may not want to know me further. What matters is I'm getting back out there and at the same time, trying to be more confident. I remember I was nervous as hell when I first asked Elena out on the phone, but today I asked A if she wanted to go for that cup of coffee or drink like it was no big thing, so that felt good. So things are definitely improving over here, and I'm happy.
Have a great weekend everyone, hopefully I will too.

Oooh, first dates! I'm definitely not jealous about the first date jitters - but first kisses (and other stuff...) I'm SLIGHTY jealous about just because it's so exciting! I hope you like one of them :)
