The Phoenix Dating Scene

Life goes on so they say. I have been forced to push through all the bullshit and continue living. Like I said in my previous entry, I revamped my online profile on the dating site and I listed everything I could possibly think of that I like in a woman and all the interests I have. I also listed all the specific things I don't like. I was hoping that if I did that I would only attract the kind of girls that I really like. I still have been getting some messages from girls that after I talk to them a bit, I realize that they are not my type at all. I have been having some success though. I went through and did a meticulous search of all the girls on the dating site and I sent out a lot of messages. It has been a while now since I sent those out and the way I see it, the messages I have got from them is all I am going to get. So what I am doing is keeping my eye on the new users. You can see all the new girls that have joined the site in the last 24 hours and send them messages. I like to message the new girls because I think they are more likely to respond than girls that have been on the site for a month or so and have been getting lots of messages on a regular basis.

I have been having pretty good success since I started this daily messaging thing. You do have to send out quite a few messages just to get a couple back but that is understandable. They are very picky. You know what I find funny? Everyone says that they are really picky... yeah duh everyone is picky, especially when it comes to relationships etc. Anyways, I am actively talking to about 6 different girls right now and they all seem to be different personality types which I think is a good thing because it is allowing me to see the differences between then and formulate what kind of personality I like the most. I am an equal opportunity dater lol. I have manged to go out on a couple of dates but let me tell you about the last date that I went on because it went quite well. I met this girl named Katie and she is a really sweet girl. She is 22 and she is in business school still finishing up her MBA. You are probably picturing this classy mature woman but really she is super immature in one moment and then outspoken and refined in another moment. I guess she reminds me a bit of myself.

I met her at this coffee shop called Mama Java's Coffee House. It was pretty cool and chill inside, a bit funky like most coffee houses. I had a mocha like I always get and she ordered a latte. I never understand why people order lattes I mean they are nothing but coffee with milk. She is really cute and we sat and talked about stuff for a very long time. It was only 2pm when we met but the next thing I knew I looked at my watch... well the clock on my cell phone I mean because I don't actually wear a watch but I want a nice one don't get me wrong. I asked her if she wanted to continue this date by going and grabbing some dinner. She said sure so we went outside and grabbed a taxi and went to this place called Rosie McCaffrey's Irish Pub. I wasn't going to take her to a nice restaurant because neither of us were dressed for it so we went to this pub, ordered a pitcher of beer and some food. I had a really good time drinking and eating with her. Next thing we knew it was nearly midnight so we got out of there and hopped in a taxi and headed to her place to drop her off. I was really hoping she was going to invite me upstairs and when we got there, she did exactly that. I was really nervous as we rode the elevator up to her apartment and I was thinking how can I make my move on her when she grabbed me and missed me. We fooled around on her couch for a few hours then I took a taxi home. It was a great night and I have been chatting with her everyday since then. She wants to get together again this weekend.
