the craze of spring
so it's really in full effect now.
i've been startled to be getting some responses to both my personal ad and my friendster account. admittedly, i had something to do with this. i've updated them both recently, and added the picture of me in the hubcap, which is turning out to be popular.
i really thought these guys had been seeing me for so long, that i was just totally old news to them, and i wouldn't get any response.
now the screwed up things are a) i'm kinda busy and b) i already know someone who i want to go out with, but i am being a huge wuss about asking him out. at the moment, i am using the excuse that i'm busy. but the fact is, i'm afraid. maybe that fear is an instinct-- maybe i know he doesn't really want to be anything more than friends. i think that's a distinct possibility. but as christa says, there's only one way to know for sure.
in the meantime, i'm enjoying email conversation with a few guys who seem nice and smart and interesting and reasonably sane. and who aren't 22 year old goth boys. it's actually a nice occasional diversion from my work, something that doesn't take too much time, sort of like this blog.
as always, i like the attention...

where can i see this alluring hubcap picture?

ok, i've added a link to the photo, in the blog entry itself.
as you can see, it's not all that alluring! i'm not sure what it is about it.
theories:
- maybe they think, oh, a girl who's into her car! cool!
- to the informed, it makes it look like my car is an old beetle or bus. that'll bring 'em out of the woodwork every time...
- it's the only full body shot of me so they get a chance to see that, despite the fact that i don't list my weight, i am not really big.

wow, that's a cool photo! i can see why it'd attract attention (besides the reasons listed above).

I know this is kind of a cliche, but what about asking the guy to something that isn't all that date-like? but is still just the two of you. it might take some of the pressure off.

i think if i asked him to do something that's just the two of us he would be completely wise to my intentions. and it would feel like a date no matter what.
that said, i think this is a good fear to get over. still, i will probably wait until after roswell anyway, because i actually am busy.

ok, so a) your comment won't post right away because i have to approve it first and b) you might get a server error but your comment probably posted anyway and c) previewing doesn't work so i've removed the preview button.
