So I’ve dubbed this summer as the Summer of Melissa…I’m focusing on me and changing my life. Changing up my workout routine, getting control of my finances, and most importantly, NOT dating. I’m not looking, I’m not trying, I’m just worried about myself.
And you know what? That feels awesome! I’m running, biking, weight-training, doing push ups and planks (and am starting to see some results 12 days in!) I’ve paid off 2 credit cards and am on track to be debt free by (hopefully) the end of the year. I’m happy and I’m buzzing right along…enjoying my summer.
However, you know what’s strange? When you’re not looking for it, romance DOES have a way of (trying) to find you. Case and point:
My co-worker has been wanting to set me up with this guy that comes on our Midday Forums (community interview segments during the 11am news) for awhile. It never worked out. I was dating someone, he was dating someone. I told her I wasn’t really interested this last go-around, but she still persisted. So 2 weeks ago she conspired and got my business card with my cell phone number to him, (with my permission) and she eagerly awaited the “good” news.
I will tell you that I immediately wrote him off. I figured he wouldn’t text or call. But he did! He texted me Tuesday while I was working at my PT job and we ended up talking for an hour and a half that night…the next night, and the night after that as well. He asked me out to dinner Wednesday night and we have our first date tonight. He’s totally pursuing me and I should LOVE that…and I do. But….(and its a big but) he’s a little odd. I’m not sure if I’m physically attracted to him, but I do know that we talk easily and he makes me laugh.
We shall see.
We’re going to dinner at my favorite Thai place. I’m not too heavily invested in this; if it works out great. But if not? Well, its still the summer of Melissa and I’m just fine with that!
Happy Monday friends!
