Many Things To Share

Well, a lot has happened in a relatively short time. I’ll start with the good and end with the crappy.

*Exercise*

I’ve started working out (again). I know that exercise and I do not get along, but I made a commitment this time. I even wrote up a contract with expectations, dates, and reminders to myself about why I am doing this. So far, it has been working out well. I’m heading into Week 3 of my contract and work out 6 days a week doing at least 60 min of cardio, weights, and ab exercises (on an alternating basis of course). I’ve started losing some weight and think I look a little bit better already.

I decided to put on some shorts today, a chic top, let my hair down, added a little mascara, eyeshadow and as soon as I stepped outside I got hit on by 4 guys in a span of 5 minutes. I was shocked by the attention since that is something that has never happened to me in my life before.

*Social Skills*

Last night, I went to a friends get-together for her brother-in-law’s birthday. He turned 23 and I am 23. You might think, “That’s perfect Bremoni!  Go and talk to this guy, he might be the one!” The reality is that I am ridiculously shy with guys who I think are attractive. He was attractive, therefore I acted like a mute idiot. I was pretty nervous throughout the entire party, but I tried to talk to some people, if only for a little bit.

While conversing with my friend’s father-in-law, the subject of his missionary work came up. It caught my attention and I simply thought they were religious. Later on, the subject of Temple came up. At first, I thought they were Jewish (Now that I think about it, the correct word is synagogue right?), but then I remembered that they did missionary work. I then came to the realization that my friend and her family are Mormons. Yeah, Mormons!

The subject of my singledom came up as a topic of discussion with my friend and her husband. They suggested I might try going to some church dances to find a guy. Bless my friend’s heart, but I haven’t been to church in almost a decade. I have never been baptized, in fact, as a child I made it my mission to try to weasel my way out of going to church.

The family is very nice, but way too wholesome for me and my heathen ways.

*Romance*

Concerning The Quiet Physicist…well, I thought things were going well.

We had been texting for a little bit, but eventually made it to the talking on the phone phase. We talked to each other on Friday night for about 30-40 minutes. We seemed to get along fine, there was chemistry. Near the end of the call, he asked me if I wanted to meet up for drinks that night. I was actually on my way to the gym when he called (that and I had been up for 12 hours and was way too tired to try to get ready for a date on such short notice), so I declined meeting up that night, but told him I’d be interested in meeting up later this weekend or on some other date. He asked me if Sunday would be good. I said sure. We both said we would look forward to meeting each other Sunday. We hadn’t set a time yet, but I assumed we would talk either Saturday or early Sunday to confirm time and place.

On Saturday, I heard nothing from him and to be fair, I was busy getting ready for my friend’s get together.

Well, today is Sunday and as I type it is 6:49 pm Pacific Standard time and I haven’t heard a word from him. I called him twice early Sunday afternoon, but the phone didn’t even ring. It didn’t go to his voicemail either since he hadn’t set one up. I later sent a text asking him if he was still free to meet up today. I’ve been checking my gmail to see if I received any messages from him.

Nothing.

I am bummed and pissed.

Even if he called me now, I wouldn’t go out tonight. I have to get up at 5 am for work. I need my 8 hours of sleep. I need advance notice for this reason (usually 24 hours min., but since we had already agreed on a day, 4-5 hours notice before meeting up would have been fine with me).

What bothers me more is that we have been communicating for about 3 or 4 weeks now. I know that I have talked about guys just disappearing and how that sucks. Still, pulling the disappearing act during initial contact is not as bad as compared with someone who you’ve invested some feelings and time with though. It just feels like I have been wasting my time with this guy who I thought was interested in me, but now it seems he really wasn’t all that interested in me.

The day started off great, but now…

*Sigh* Time to pull out Bridget Jones’ Diary and give myself hope that there is a guy somewhere out there for me. I need to get away from my computer for a while.
