Only Mildly Painful

I went to see Swan Lake tonight with Doug. The ballet was beautiful! I haven't seen a ballet in SO long and it truly was very sweet of him to ask me. It was mildly painful between us, considering that I already gave him the stop sign. He is so sweet and he's really handsome, but I have a difficult time being myself around him. Not that I have the best track record with the men I've dated, and maybe that's the reason why I should go for someone like him, but I just want someone edgier. I need someone who can put me in my place when necessary and I definitely don't think he's that guy. In fact, I think that's going to take a miracle man.

We met up with some other work friends after the ballet, which I thought was going to be awkward, but it was fine. We had a drink and then split...it was getting late.

So basically, the evening was a take it or leave it situation. I never understood those girls who date men for the tickets or games or any other perks that happen to come along with the guy. I'm much more into that person's company and how I interact with them, which I think is probably good thing. So I'm glad to be over that hump with him, so to speak.

On another note, I texted with GABF today! He seems cute and funny and I dig that he's into his family. He said he'd call tomorrow, so maybe I'll have a date later in the week??!!

I'm off to bed...nighty night!
