ol' shifty eyes
so i really did intend to do this supposed "match blitz"... but then i had a good look around at all of my choices on match.com, and there really were not many interesting ones left. most of the guys on there i've eliminated for some reason or another. so i ended my subscription with just 3 guys i was emailing.
1. the bald smart guy
2. the tall red head
3. the seemingly dumb paramedic
bald smart guy sends awesome emails - very witty, good grammar, etc. so i meet up with the bald smart guy (soon to be known as ol' shifty eyes) at a total dive bar. this is cool because i like dive bars and the drinks are cheap. it's good that the drinks are cheap because i soon realize i'll be paying my own way this evening. oh well, that's kinda ok in this blind online dating sort of world.
i approach my date, who is seated at the bar. he spends the better part of the next hour making good conversation with me, but facing forward. weird, right? finally i suggest that we move to a booth that has opened up because i'm getting a kink in my neck from turning sideways towards him.
even once at the booth, he has trouble looking me in the eye. now i'm pretty sure that this is not because i'm so beautiful that it hurts to look at me. maybe he's just nervous, so i'll forgive him. but i can't stop looking at his eyes because not only are they averted, but they are kinda buggy. maybe this is why he is avoiding eye contact - the big, bug eyes actually are superhuman, and he gets a headache from looking at someone for too long. ok, i've been watching 'heroes', with it's silly super powers, too much.
and ladies and gents, we have another NPR listener here. i mean, i want to date someone who is smart...but not boring. he is tittering on the edge. one good thing is that he is really into music, so maybe that will be his saving grace. he has invited me to a show next week, so i guess i'll give him another chance.
