Committed

I'm not any ones girlfriend just yet. But I want to know, when I am, what are the rules?  I said about a week ago that I'm not going to communicate with other men, but that was a little pre-mature. I have texted some past boyfriends, and I did meet a guy last Saturday night. Oh and that was nothing, trust me, but I did talk to this guy at a bar. And I have every right to do these things right now, Shorty has not taken that step to say we are in a relationship. When he does though, I can't be doing what I have been doing. And, I gotta say, it will be hard. I have been single for over a year now, I have single habits, ie texting men, flirting when I go out, seeing old boyfriends on occasion. So all that has to stop at some point, right?  Well, I'm pretty sure I'm ready to throw those habits out the door for Shorty. Pretty Sure.......NO......Definitely Sure! Yes, I can and will be strong. :)

Have Him At Hello

I learned of this book, Have Him At Hello from Oprah.com yesterday. I downloaded a sample on my Kindle App. Its just the first chapter but I'm already very intrigued by the author, Rachel Greenwald's ideas on dating and relationships. So, I've decided to order the hard copy book from Amazon. Can't wait to dig into this book.

Rachel is a professional matchmaker, and a successful one. She has done research on why men choose or not choose their mate. So far, as I understand from the first chapter, finding the "one" requires you to tweak some of your dating habits. Not change who you are, just think of the first date as a job interview. I agree with this idea.

I will let you know how the whole book turns out after reading. It may be a while, bear in mind, reading books lately has been taking me 3-4 months to finish. HAHAHA

Falling, Falling, Falling

It is getting better. I'm feeling my heart again. Shorty is and has been amazing. I'm one happy girl right now. So this is my heaven: Sunday mornings, lazy, sleep, laugh, pancakes, sleep, kiss, music, angry birds, kiss, sleep.

Well Dressed Man

Last night I saw Shorty in a Suit. And WOW, that was amazing. I just love when a man knows how to dress, and Shorty does. So I was thinking, what can a man wear that make most women swoon??? Here are my favorites ))) Enjoy my friends, Enjoy.

Classic, nice

Out of all the sport uniforms, Baseball is by far the sexiest

Classic, Simple White T

Cowboy, Rugged is Hot



Go Rangers!!

Our Great Seats at the Rangers!

Saturday was probably the best day I've had in a long time!  Planned to have a date with Shorty on Saturday night. Friday night, I met Shorty out. He wanted me to meet his friend that was in town. The three of us had a drink and hung out at a patio bar. Shorty said his boss gave him tickets to the Rangers Saturday game against the Yankees. This is a playoff game, its a huge deal, and I coveted ticket to get in Dallas. My first thought was, there goes our Saturday date, he is going to the game and now flaking on my again. But, yes BUT, he asked me to go with him!!! He said his friends will kill him for not inviting any of them, but he really wanted to go with me. I'm thinking in "guy world" taking a girl to a MLB playoff game is a huge deal. Right?

So, needless to say, it was a great date, great game, Rangers WON!, and great day. We had a blast. And, Shorty really opened up, we talked about "us", which he brought up. I'm feeling really great with where this is heading. I want to be with him. And he is finally catching up to me in the "feelings" department.

I've decided to stop talking to other men. Because 1. All the other men I do talk to are worthless anyway 2. I really only want Shorty, I don't think about anyone else anymore 3. I'm sooooooo done with being that girl that has 4 guys in continuous text conversations.

I'm not changing my Facebook status just yet to "in a relationship", and I'm not calling Shorty my BF, but I'm now somewhere in the middle of "single girl" or "girlfriend", and I'm liking being somewhere in the middle. I'm just enjoying my life right now. And I'm not putting any pressure on Shorty. If it happens it happens, if not, than not.

Date Night!!!-with no date ((((

(Meant to post this on friday, delayed)
I don't mind, really I don't. I rather be at home cleaning my closet than out drinking too much with people I don't like or on a date with a guy that I don't find interesting, just out with him so I had a date on friday night. No, I really honestly rather clean my closet. OK, OK, I really would like to be hanging with Shorty, but he is busy tonight, our date is tomorrow. Looking forward to that :) Here is a  pic of what I hope will happen tomorrow night......

Pi Phi T-Shirt

This is a text conversation I had last night with a guy who I dated about a month and a half ago. I really did like him but he pulled the old "MIA" after a few weeks. I thought this was funny because I just started lying to him when he didn't know who I was.  ---(these are my comments)

Diane: i never think about you
MIA: ha, who is this? my phone decided to go swimming in a pool recently.
D: you know a ton of people from 918---(my tulsa area code)?
M: Broken Arrow or Bartlesville? ----(neighboring towns of tulsa)
D: WOW
M: Jenks, Muskogee? I have no idea. Just googled 918. I do like this game though.
D: Let me refresh ur memory. We had a one nite stand and it was the best nite of my life. Soooo Hot. ---(lie)
M: So this is a girl....from somewhere in northeastern Oklahoma...w/ a flare for sarcasm.
D: your warm
M: I give up
D: Idiot or Asshole?
M: Just messing with you. I have your pi phi shirt by the way. are you out tonight? I'm watching what about bob in bed. -----(By the way, i've never been in a sorority so that wouldn't be my Pi Phi shirt)
D: Oh god I've been missing my pi phi shirt. ----(lie) Im home now.
M: Don't you have like 40 of them? Not a bad trade for "the best night of your life" right?
D: I need that shirt back. Its part of my amazing collection of sorority shirts that I will pass on to my grandchildren
M: I'm having it framed in a shadowbox to commemorate things
D: Oh, to remember the best on night stand ever?!?!? I like that. I will be waiting for the UPS man to deliver it.     God I miss phi pi. Good times. Good times.
M: I'm keeping it... on my wall....between sorority T's of my conquests from Muskogee and Bartlesville.
D: Nice. OK girls are easy. Be proud of your many OK conquests. I am proud that I'm a slutty sorority girl.
M: Wanna do it again?
D: Oh yeah
D; Come over
D: Now
M: No wheels till tomorrow. You come here. ASAP
D: MIA!!!!!
M: Stalemate, sucks
D: Ok honestly. Who do you think this is?
D: Names!?!?
M: Now I'm worried. Why don't you just tell me??
D: Hint. Thats not my phi pi shirt. so not that girl
M: I really don't have a clue who this could be. I have like 4 numbers in this phone. It was fun playing 20 questions though. Night.
D: Chicken Shit
M: Who IS this??
D: HAHA
M: DCW----(im guessing some other girls initials)
D: Diane, God
D: More of a player than I thought
M: Good God. Threw me. Was more than a one night stand.
D: I liked F%$^ing with ya. It was entertainment :-) night
M: Ah the delights of phone loss and sex with girls from Oklahoma. Messing with you too. I once got to third base with a girl from Henryetta. Did take ma about ten texts though. Fun. Night night.


He is an idiot. Never talking to him again.
Happy Friday!!!

Why can't it ever be a clean break????

I just spent 30 minutes trying to find an article I read on-line about breaking up in this day in age. Couldn't find it!!! UGH. But the run down is basically, now with technology, ie Facebook and Texts, its harder and harder for couples to really end things. It always gets dragged on and on because we can view each others FB profiles and send a quick text to start things up again. After I read this article, I realized, I have only one time had a clean breakup(since the invention of FB and Text), all the others still linger for months or years.

So, last night I got a text from my X. This is not just any X, this is the one, he broke my heart over a year ago. We talked marriage, and at our 2 year anniversary it all ended because he couldn't commit. So in this year that we have been broken up there have been texts, me looking him up on FB(seeing him with his new girl)(double ugh), him saying he wanted me back, then slamming the door in my face. Its a long, and very painful story of "us".  I haven't heard from him in 2 months, and now a text. I'm so mad at him for texting. I felt like after all this time I was getting over it, then I get a text and it brings it all back.

My question, would we have had a clean break if it wasn't for FB and cell phones, and texts?  I'm thinking YES. I miss him immeasurably, but the fact that we can somehow communicate so easily is causing me more pain than I need.

OH, and by the way....I didn't text back. Pat on the back to me!

Smitten

I just went on a trip to California for my cousins wedding. It was a nice trip overall, I helped out alot so it wasn't all that relaxing, but I didn't mind.

So I've traveled enough, taking flights by myself, and I have never met anyone on a flight worth even remembering their names. I typically put my headphones on, and try my hardest to not even make small talk with anyone. The trick is never give eye contact, and the moment you sit down only say "hi" then pretend to sleep. I've got it down to a science.

Well, I've never had a seat next to an attractive man, until Monday on my flight home. I saw him in the aisle before he even sat down, and I thought in my head, "please god, have his assigned seat next to mine". Well, he sat down right next to me and started talking to me. He was a bit cocky, but outgoing and funny.

Needless to say, I was shocked when the announcement was made to prepare for landing. That was the fastest 3 hour flight of my life. We talked the entire time. 

Before landing, County Boy(remember I like to not reveal actual names), asked if I would have a drink with him at the airport. He had a connecting flight but had sometime for a drink. I sorta hesitated, but said I would. His flight was soon, so we didn't have a lot of time. But as we had a drink, his flight kept getting delayed. So, he finally had to get on his plane, we hugged goodbye, I started to walk away, and he grabbed me and said he had to kiss me, and it was AWESOME! Felt like out of a movie. :)

So, I'm Smitten. I mean, this was a chance meeting, and I can't stop thinking about him. We are now friends on FB, and he asked for my phone number, and has text me. He lives in Nashville, so I don't think anything can come from this. Oh, and another small detail I have left out, he is 23, I am 30. He is an aspiring country singer/songwriter. This has TROUBLE written all over it. But, I liked it, it was romantic, he is very attractive, he is talented, he is fun, he is different, and that's the best part.

Nothing will come from this, but it was a good story.......
