I have 2 dates now planned…

Thursday night (tomorrow) will be with Circus Guy. Not sure exactly where we will be going or doing, but we’re meeting in an area where bars and cafes are plentiful, so I’m happy with the spontaneity of choosing as we go. He actually text me last night (I’d already gone to bed) just to make sure I hadn’t forgotten about him! Only saw it this morning when I was up at 5am, so I waited until a more reasonable time this morning to text back. I’m really interested to see how this one will turn out.

Friday night is meeting Irishman2. Bit unsure about him still, but I am going to take a chance. Looks like we’ll meet up in a bar in the city. I’m determined to go to the beach on Saturday, so I’m not too keen at this point to drink too much. Plus I don’t want to spend too much just after getting back from overseas….unless he’s paying of course! I think I might actually catch a bus into the city after work and then home again, rather than drive. Then I can scull down a couple of drinks before I leave home. I get the feeling I’ll need to be buzzed when meeting this one. There have been a lot of similarities still between him and the first Irishman in terms of some of the things he’s been saying to me. And because of going through what I have with the first one, I can’t help but think of this one as being fake. But what do I have to really lose at this point?

Now all I’m hoping for is to set up a date with The Barber. I think him and Circus Guy have been my favourites so far. He mentioned a ‘Sunday session’ last week so I’m kind of hoping that he’ll bring it up again. He’s stayed in touch so I’m hoping we’ll build up to a date soon.

The other guys have somewhat dissipated, so I’m searching for more.

Oh effsicles, what have I done?

This new Irish guy has now set up a date with me for next weekend. He seems super keen and strangely getting in a week early!

I’m going through some inner turmoil here…

First up, he lives down the coast - that’s an hour and a half drive away. So, of course he suggests we go for a drink as a first date. In making this suggestion, he then points out the fact that if we’re going drinking, he’ll have to check into a hotel somewhere.

SOUND FAMILIAR?!

Then he suggests the movies as another option…for tomorrow night even!

SOUND FAMILIAR?!

Then he keeps saying lovely things like, “I’m really keen to get to know you, and maybe I like you”

SOUND FAMILIAR?!

I’m not falling for your Irish charm, Mr Irishman2! This is not going to be an easy ride for you! (pun unintended)

He also doesn’t use any punctuation in his text messages!

SOUN….ok, I guess I’ve made my point.

But why must they have to be so similar??
