Went on another date tonight.  Sort of last minute.  As in she called me at 6 and asked me if I was free (I was playing videogames at the time…so I left immediately).  We didn’t really click.  Either I am too weird or she was too weird.  I can’t quite tell (I am hoping it is her).  It is interesting how certain people draw out different personalities in one another.  Tonight I was high strung.  I am normally high strung..but in a relaxed manner.  Tonight was just no good.

I have been going on a few different dates lately.  Some have been great…most have been bad.  Not bad in the “she had one arm and looked like Ronald Regan” bad.  More that I just didn’t like their personality and every word that came out of their mouth was poison to my ears and made me want to goudge my eyes out.  But that’s not too bad.

Of the few dates I have been on, only one girl had enough “promise” for me to make time to see her again.  Hopefully I can see her a few more times to form a good solid opinion of her.  She seems nice enough…..but then again..they all do at first.

I went down and visited my Dad this weekend.

It was nice out.  We went to the beach.

Every time I see my grandmother she always asks me about my “love life”.  She tends to ask me when the whole family is around as well expecting an answer right then and there.  Somehow this always seems to turn into a giant joke.  This weekend was no different.  She asked and I of course told her the truth.  I didn’t have one (love life that is) at the moment but I had been going on dates at least.

She then questioned why it was taking me so long to find a “good girl” as she put it.   She thought it had something to do with what I wore when I went out.

“Michael…you don’t wear that when you go out do you?  You look awful right now, so drab.” - (I was wearing a hoodie and I hadn’t shaved.)

“No.  I actually do look nice when I go out.  I know that is hard to believe but I am not new to the dating scene.”

“Have you thought of wearing bright colors.  Girls like bright colors.  You need to wear a RED shirt. Red would really win them over.”

“Red….I don’t really do red to well.  I am very pale.  It makes me look sickly.  I stick with earth tones reall….”

“Actually my mother always said if you can’t figure out what to wear go with the eyes.  You should try wearing blue as well”

“I do wear blue from time to time. I actually think I have more blue than any one color, but like i said I generally try to stick with Earth Tones…you know like greens, browns, and…”

“No no…you really need to get red shirt.  You know it should be a collared shirt, right?  You realize I mean a red collared shirt.  Not a t-shirt.  I am sure of it.  A nice red flannel shirt would do it for girls.”

“Flannel…like a lumberjack.  I don’t do the lumberjack look it makes me…”

“Should I ask if they are asian…these dates?”

“Um…..two of them were white….they weren’t all asian”

“I knew I shouldn’t of asked.  What is it with you and asian girls?”

“I don’t know..something evidently”

This went on for a good 20 minutes….god help me.
