It's been awhile but I'm still in the game. Let me catch you up.
Mr. Skinny and I definitely were on a date that Friday. We had fun, but he's so awkward and really he's going to have to stay in the friend zone. He's asked me to hang out a few more times but I've been legitimately busy and it just hasn't happened.
Mr. PharmD stopped calling after date two. Not sure why, but I was still dating Mr. Sports so I wasn't really concerned.
Mr. Sports and I ended up dating for about four and a half months- not bad for me actually. However, as we were clearly never exclusive I'm not sure that it counts for anything. Things sorta just ended there too. We had kind of an awkward situation on our last date so I'm not sure if that contributed or not. We're still friends on FB and still comment and or like each other's things but thats about the long and short of it. If he needed a date to a wedding or something I'd say yes but I think it's clear now that he is not looking for anything serious and that I am not willing to push for it with him.
This brings me to Mr. PhysEd. I met him through OkCupid and we met up for drinks and a bite to eat after work one evening. He was nice enough and I enjoyed talking to him but he lacked drive. I need a man who knows where he's going in life even if he's not there yet. He has to have a plan in place! This guy didn't and at a few years older than me that was a definite turn off.
Currently I am communicating with Mr. MBA. I haven't met him yet, but hopefully will this weekend. He is a case of me expanding my dating horizons. He had visited my profile or something like that on OkCupid which alerted me to his presence so I checked him out. He was cute, he was educated, he had a son. Wait, he what? It took me a minute to think whether I should give him a wink or what have you because up until now a kid has been a deal breaker. But I decided I need to be more open and at least let him know I was moderately interested. Well so far so good. I find him interesting and by far the most aligned with my relationship and life goals out of all the guys I've dated in recent history. We've decided that we're going into this assuming things will work well and taking it seriously. This is a new strategy for me but I feel good about it. Our lines of communication are open. So we'll see how our first date goes. Hopefully the chemistry we have online and on the phone is there in person. Time will tell.
Stay tuned for ideas for great dates in Cleveland!
