Ok guys… I need some help decoding guy-speak. I’m quoting here from someone I know. I would like to hear what you think he means–in detail. I have my own ideas, but I feel like I have wandered into a foreign country without knowing the language.

She’s smart. Wicked smart. And sometimes just wicked. We have knock-down, drag-out battles of wits and bravado. We are consistently turned on in each other’s presence. She walks with the grace of a dancer, and dances with the grace of … well let’s just say that it would make a weaker man nervous.

Her sultry sass is a match for my mischievous mayhem.

At a high class dinner party, she’ll play the coy little girl, Miss Prim and Proper; all the while planning the precise moment to use a single word that would make a sailor blush; then she’ll continue the conversation so smoothly that everyone’s wondering if they misheard her. Simply put, she fills an evening gown with the attitude of Tank Girl.

Well???

It was another late night going into a few more late nights at least until Monday. I think, anyway. Another date. It was probably the craziest fun I have had in a long time. He really likes video games, so I told him I would kick his butt boxing on the Wii. I did. And also in tennis and bowling. He then kicked mine in DOA2. Humiliating loss. He’s more fun than anyone should have. He likes my cats, and they like him–even the ones who hide whenever someone else is in the house.  My mind keeps reminding me of the night before…hmm.

I’m a bit sleepy today after a lack of sleep last night. No, nothing exciting to report there. Just couldn’t sleep. I did have another date last night though. I have been feeling some slight trepidation. Ok, not so slight. It’s a bit disconcerting to be really open about who I am and who I have been since I wonder why anyone would want to be around all of it. There’s a feeling of running away and running toward. I’ll have to let you know which direction wins. Right now, toward is winning.

I know I like to be in control or at least feel like I have some control over a situation. I realized last night while talking about swing dancing that I have no problem giving up that control on the dance floor. Now why I can’t elsewhere, I have no idea.

I like my men on the naughty side. I already suspected my date was a bit naughty. What I really wanted to know is if he is deliciously naughty. I certainly got my answer.

It wasn’t just one, but there is one I want to talk about. I don’t know what he was thinking at the time, but that last kiss wasn’t only felt on the lips. How does that happen? Is there a direct line from lips to…? (You’ll have to fill in the blank here. This is a PG-13 blog.) Must be for me with this guy. I can’t remember a single, short kiss ever having that effect.

Since Mr. Fab asked for details, here is what I have to say about my date. It was lots of fun, and we will be seeing each other again within a week. It may turn out to be excellent. We seem to match quite well. Hard to really say after a first date, but I’m not beginning this one thinking it will end or how it will end. We spent just over 3 hours together–talking, eating and laughing.

I will have to be on my toes with this one though. I know it has been a long time since I have met someone so quick-witted and clever.

Well I’m quite upbeat for a Monday. I had a great call with a recruiter at a company about a position there. It sounds like a good fit, particularly in the culture. I also have the possibility of a date in the near future.  I realize that sounds odd but because he had to get off the phone right away, the when didn’t get worked out. Things are looking up around here!

It appears that some glitch caused one of my dating profiles to disappear. I wish I had the time this weekend to fix it, but I don’t. Currently I’m hoping that it can be restored. I really don’t want to do it all over again. No answers to my questions from yesterday’s post. Perhaps no one has been by to read? I’m off for another weekend seminar. At least this one is local.

Yesterday I received an email about an audition. Now I’m just waiting to hear back about what time to show up. I have been doing a little research for this particular audition by asking everyone I know a few questions. I am asking them here as well. Feel free to leave answers in the comments–honest or silly.

Well I survived the trek to San Francisco three days straight for my weekend leadership training seminar. I decided to drive each day so I could sleep in my own bed and save some money. My hybrid only used slightly over half a tank of gas. I’m not sure what to tell you about the weekend. I sat next to an interesting guy from Los Angeles for part of the seminar. Sitting next to him helped lighten up my mood. It can be easy to get a bit too serious. Frankly, not long after sitting near him and his flirting, I wanted to jump him. I was good though and didn’t. Today I’m left wondering if I missed an opportunity there.

My cats are happy that I’m home. The two youngest, Max and Zach, turned two on Sunday. They had treats on Friday. Their pictures have been posted previously.

I did notice that when I was talking to a friend this morning that I already sound different. It’s amazing that I noticed. Typically everyone else notices before I do.
