Hipster Dan: Great Expectations

Despite my best efforts* I have developed incredibly high expectations of my first date with Hipster Dan.  Not only that, but Hipster Dan has more or less admitted his own high expectations.  During the past 3 days we have been messaging back and forth with varying frequency, but at least 5 or 6 times each day.  We haven't talked about anything in particular but we have realized we have even more in common than we initially thought.  Further, he made a statement in one of these messages that made me oddly happy:

"Is it weird that I'm excited to meet you?"

I'm obviously just hyping this fella up in my mind and only bad things can result, however, I decided I'm very pleased that a. he is excited to meet me and b. he is ok with admitting this to me in advance of our meeting.  It seems like such a simple, nothing sentiment, but it was far more forthright than 99% of the messages I have received.

Alas, we will imbibe beers tomorrow in a hipster dive bar.  I am idiotically nervous and can't decide what on earth to wear.  Normally, I don't think too hard about that, but I'm acting like a dumb, dumb idiot. :)


*Actually, I really made no effort beyond telling myself not to.

Thunder-man-dome: Two Men Enter, One Man Asks Me Out

Well, friends and family, it has been 2 months since I've posted.  In those months I have been living the exciting single life: sitting on my ass and occasionally cleaning the house.  I began and finished a cardigan, I spent some time with my parental units, did some serious babysitting (in the middle of that, actually) and saw a comedy show or two.  I know, try to calm your jealousy.  You can continue to read my blog and envy my glamorous, action-packed life style.

Two weeks ago a non-horrifying gentleman, AfroStan, messaged me.  He was so not atrocious that I decided I didn't mind the fact that he is at least 2 inches shorter than me.  Despite my pledge to date all applicants, I have had an issue agreeing to go out with those shorter than myself.  Plus, AfroStan, has a lot of hair and his photos suggest that this particular feature may very well bring his height close to or above mine.  However, we will likely never know exactly how tall AfroStan is, because the dummy stopped replying.  So, screw you AfroStan!  Just kidding, I hope you found a beautiful and talented internet lady.

Theeeeen, I got a message from HipsterDan.
