just going for it

despite that sometimes i do find online dating too tiring, i just try to deal with it and go for it.

i have been emailing some new guys from the new online dating site and started talking to a few more guys from the original online dating site i joined. kinda just feeling my way through things.

last night i met up with the academic for dinner and then chilled out for some drinks and live music. he's leaving for a 2-week business trip / vacation on friday and wanted to catch up before he left.

it was a pretty nice time. i think i might be finding him more physically attractive than i initially thought. but then there are times when it seems like we don't have much to talk bout. he just seems so serious whereas i'm known to be a lil silly at times.

still not sure where all this is heading.

just before i go

in the last few months i've been IMing this guy who i got to know via the online dating site. i think the problem with me and online 'dating' is that i am actually pretty contented to just IM someone without really feeling the motivation to actually meet up.

so i've been bored recently. and i admit it, i was looking for some 'action' which i never got. so even though i knew i wouldn't really be getting the kind of 'action' i was looking for, i agreed to meet up with the academic later last night for a drink when he suggested.

i'm glad i went. he was better looking than i expected (though still too short) and we enjoyed pretty good conversation. sure it was slightly awkward in the beginning as it always is with first time meeting ups especially of the online variety. but i quickly settled into some level of comfort. he seems like a nice enough guy. but i'm not sure if i'm blown away. i guess i'll have to wait this one out a lil.

in the meantime, i hope that i get some 'action' while i'm off on my 2-week vacation. i'll be travelling alone overseas to meet up with some friends including my best friend.

and yes, i just realised that i'm flying on 9-11.
