Double Digit Day

As far as dating goes, I’ve been a serial loser all my life. I could never get it together. As a result of my recent surge of online dating winks and icebreakers, I managed to get not one, but TWO phone numbers on Wednesday (with one of them that may turn out into an actual date this weekend). For a loser like myself, that’s HUGE.

I’ve been wanting to take it slow after getting my panties in a bunch over Kilo Tango. So I started e-mailing with Juliet on Yahoo! Personals and we exchanged IM names. I’d see her online a few times, but either was too nervous or didn’t have time to start a conversation. Well, I actually did today, we talked that morning she asked what I was doing for the weekend, just random small talk bullshit. She mentioned that she really wanted to see the new Indiana Jones movie. Then during the course of the conversation, I asked if she was going with a bunch of people, she said she was going alone. An alarm went off in my head, this was my in. I sort of snuck in an attempted witty comment if she needed a wingman to go with her to the movies, she said sounds good and I found myself in the weird position of a woman actually responding the way I wanted her to respond. I got her number and said I’d call her near the end of the week.

Number two came about via Match.com. I winked at Alpha Charlie (who just happened to be a Facebook friend of Kilo Tango, though I won’t mention that to her until I have to) and she responded with a wink back and I e-mailed her. I got a response early Wednesday morning and she mentioned if I IM’ed. I responded yes and with my screen name. I got an IM from her that same today and we started going back and forth for the rest of the afternoon and got her number also. So I called Alpha Charlie late, late that night and we must of spoke for more than two hours. What I don’t like about her so far is that she talks WAY too much and doesn’t let you get a word in at all.

Also on Tuesday, I’ve been IM’ing with Kilo Victor from Yahoo! Personals and we’ve agreed to tentatively meet up next weekend (after she gets back from a weekender). I didn’t get her number just yet just so I can take this all in and not screw anything up.

Anyways, I’m very proud of myself this week. We’ll see how this all pans out once I start meeting people.
