24 hours nearly as eventful as Jack Bauer’s

Last weekend (Friday night- Saturday night – 24 hours) have been quite eventful. As the title suggests it was nearly as eventful as Jack Bauer’s.

First of all I went to a colleague’s house for dinner on Friday. This was supposed to be purely platonic as it was supposed to be a response to a dinner I had at my house a few months ago, that involved a lot of people. When I turned up at his house I was surprised to discover that I was the only guest at the dinner. I couldn’t believe that I had not picked up on any vibes that he may have liked me. I was not left in any doubt when he started playing with my hair. I subtlely moved away from him as I thought I was misreading the situation… … until he attempted to kiss me. I had to ask him WTF he was doing. The rest of the evening went more smoothly. I was left wondering why I stopped myself. He is not unattractive, has a good job and a bit like Mr A- just not my type, I have tried to hook him up with my friends cos he’s really cool just not for me. Nothing has been said about this incident since, but its really strange.

Following on from that I went to one of my best friend’s 30th birthday meal on Saturday with much apprehension. I’d had a terrible day, having spent most of the day in hospital following a car accident. The evening was not that bad, as I had the pleasure of sitting next to a guy who my friends call Pretty Man. He is absolutely gorgeous. So gorgeous in fact that I was unable to concentrate on my food as even his tone and voice are beautiful. As a consequence I did something I have never done before. I asked him for his number and I’ve called him.

Fingers crossed, as I have decided that I am in lust. Apart from looks he is a really nice guy, well spoken and lovely manners and we seem to be able to talk easily.

When Mr Right is so so so not The One

I went on a date last night with a guy who on paper is absolutely perfect and he appears to worship the ground I walk on.  You might ask what’s the problem then.

Well for me the biggest obstacle to anything substantial occurring between us is that I don’t fancy him.  I used to.  Kind of many many years ago, but unlike other guys I have dated he really does absolutely nothing for me. There is nothng wrong with him- he is not ugly, he’s about the right height, etc but I feel absolutely nothing when I see him.  Nothing that is apart from the fact he irritates the hell out of me.  Not in a “I want to kill you kind of way” but rather the fact he’s so nice and a bit boring.

One of my best friends has tried to analyse what is wrong with me.  For the purpose of this I will refer to him as Mr A.  Mr A is the kind of guy that would get a lot of attention if he had an advert on match.com or any other dating site/ page.  He has a great job, is solvent and well educated.  My mum and friends like him.  I can’t ever imagine him mistreating me.  However, as my best friend’s boyfriend said on listening to my woes  he imagines I would end up messing about on Mr A.  Would I, probably as I couldn’t make any promises as there are other guys I
