Ebbs and Flows

The last week has been a flurry of random moments...

- I heard back from EP. He wants to meet up this week. I wrote back and then haven't heard from him.

- Remember the grad school guy I met a few weeks ago who I did the Google Background Check on? (Oh, he needs a name...let's call him Westpoint Guy -- that's where he did his undergrad) WG and I went on a few non-descript dates (probably why he's gotten little airtime on the blog) and then I left for vacation. He sent me a few text messages while I was away and then he dropped off the face of the earth for about a week. Which I wasn't too brokenhearted about...and then of course, I get a random text message from him today saying we should catch up again soon. Buh whuh?

- Guy #1 (see December posts) and I are also still in contact but I've decided that is going nowhere beyond friendship. We did hang out for awhile in Oct and Nov but not so much in the last two months except for an occasional Starbucks run when I'm at work. So random...the other night he sent me a series of text messages (you know the kind when the first message exceeds 160 characters so it goes into a second text message -- which in his case, went into a third) saying how glad he is that he met me and how great he thinks I am. It's so weird...I think he's really lonely. That or getting really creepy.

- Here's the best. I get a call from my mom tonight because last night she saw some documentary about same sex couples wanting to have kids via a surrogate parent. She goes on about a male couple who was looking for a woman to carry their child and my mom says, "And you know what? One of dee men looked JUST like [fill in name of my ex]! I thought I must call you because deees guy looked like he could be his twin!" Now wouldn't THAT just be a winning break-up story...boy and girl go separate ways after dating for a few years; boy and girl lose touch for a few months; girl's mom calls her to say she saw boy on some educational cable channel with his same-sex partner trying to have a baby. I can hardly wait to TiVo it.
