Last Monday I met up with Happy. This marks the 4th girl I've met to go on a date since I broke up with Wendy. I have yet to have a second date with any of these people.
I'm not sure I can even call what I did really a date...
We arranged to meet for coffee. Thankfully, she picked a place right around the corner from me which was super convinient in case I needed to bail. I was a bit worried she'd be really ugly.
When Happy showed up, I was stunned. I will admit she was a bit a larger person than I'm normally attracted to, but her face was so pretty. I didn't have a hard time keeping eye contact with her.
So we sat down and chatted about stuff for a while. She seemed interested but then she asked me about what I was looking for on the dating website we found each other on. She was intrigued that I had just moved downtowna nd asked me if the reason I was on the site was to meet other people to hang out with. I slowly said "yes but...." ensuing I was also looking for something if it were to lead into it.
Then Happy started to tell me about a party her friend was having and that I would love her friends and I should go...
...Except she wouldn't be there. She had anohter arty she'd be going to insted...
I was thrown off a bit but didn't mind. I want to meet new peopel and i love randomness. However, i totally got the impression that
a) she was looking for anything
b) if she was, I"m not what she's looking for
I also havn't heard from her since except to tell me that the party was moved to a day I can't attend. I wrote a note to her saying that we should hangout some time but havn't heard from her since.
Well, it could have been worse, I guess.

Back Online
It's been exactly two weeks that I've been livingin my apartment and it's finally starting to feel a bit more like home.
I finally broke down a lot of the empty boxes that were in my room and replaced them with some furniture. I have a new desk for my new computer, as well as a bookshelf. It has yet to have some shelves with books so right now it looks like a giant coffin in my room.
The best part about my room is how all my firniture is from IKEA yet each piece is a different shade of brown...
I'm starting to get a feeling for my roomates. They seem really nice and friendly. RM1 is out of town this weekend so they apartment is pretty quiet.
I started to bike ride around the area and it's great. I even started to bump into people i know which is always a nice feeling.
Sheira has been calling me lately to hang out and do stuff. Unfortunately both times I was busy but I hope not to have a Victoria repeat. I don't understand why I keep having bad timing issues.
Meanwhile I have been in contact with someone online (let's call her Happy) and we're in the negotiating phases of when and were is a god time to eet up for coffee or a beer. So, Monday night may mark Date # 3 on my list of 10 different people to date.
I decided to go out on a limb on this one. Happy viwed my profile. I read hers and even though she had no picture, decided to give it a try. We started messaging back and forth. I get the feeling that she is a more laid back person who doesn't need to go out and get drunk to have a good time. She also seems big into foreign films and culture.
We then exchanged e-mails and phone numbers. I have yet to talk to her or meet her in person, ans as of yet I have no idea how she looks. I know most people will insist on a photo first but the last person I met online, the photos did no justice at all. So whats the point?
I feel a bit guilty though. I did a little bit of research on this person. At first i google searched and facebooked her e-mail address but no luck. I figured out it must be what she uses to meet people online and it is not her personal address.
When she gave me her phone number though, Google gave me a hit with her personal e-mail address, thus giving me her last name. I then put that in Facebook and found her. Unfortunately, it was all for nothing because I can't see anything except a tiny pic of her in ski clothes (i.e. no face visible) until i add her as a friend.
It's scary, though, the possibility of stalking someone on the net.
