Does that make me craaaazay??? Part III

(“Crazy” is still playing… I wish someone would quit playin with the repeat button!)

So, 22 days after the initial meeting… countless phone calls, countless emails and some other stuff I don’t want to count (so I call it countless), we finally go out. Forget the picture – I think the proper term is, “doesn’t do her any justice.” I should have made her drive so I could get some good looks in, considering how long it has been between opportunities to see her, but beggars can’t be choosers, eh?

Nothing too fancy for the first time out – dinner and a movie. Keep it simple, stupid.

Her: “Have you seen the new ‘X-Men’ yet?”
Me: “Actually, no, I haven’t.”

At this point, I’m shocked that SHE suggested the movie… it did come in handy since there wasn’t anything out there that I was just dying to go see.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t know many (many = zero in this case) women that would want to see a movie like “X-Men”, much less actually suggest it themselves – Bonus Cool Points have been awarded.

Here’s the ultimate – at the end of the movie, there was a huge thunderstorm going on outside (thanks to me washing my car 48 hours before… just outside of the rain check guarantee that the car wash place gives out)… I didn’t have to wait for the storm to end, or go out and pull the car up to the door for her – she covered up her hair and ran out to the car with me!

Up until this point, I was taking the stance that if it doesn’t work out, we’ll just charge it to the game (a Silkk the Shocker reference for you No Limit fans…) and hope that at least a new professional contact was gained. But what do I do now? I certainly had no plans of pursuing yet another relationship at this point. My past three relationships have all ended with less than stellar results, so I’ve decided that maybe I need to take a step back and rethink things. Get a new strategy together. There has to be a better way to date… or better yet, a better way to have a relationship. One where you’re not guessing what the other one thinks about you from minute to minute.
