Dear Brahmin in Boston,
Update: never heard back from Hot trainer. :( Maybe I'll drunk text him when I'm out in Fanuiel Hall tomorrow.
-HLMN
So here's round two for you:
Name: Nerdy guy
How it's going: This guy has some real potential. We went out on our first date to this really nice French restaurant in Coolidge Corner. He wined and dined me, total gentleman. We may or may not have hooked up that night. Adorable blue eyes and dimples. I'm completely smitten with him. Downfall: we both work crazy hours. Me with my nutty jobs and he works for an IT start up company which means early mornings and late nights. So we haven't really been on any other dates. It's more like I go over we watch a movie and fall asleep. But right away I told him, I am not a booty call. I refuse to be treated as one and he totally respected that. I even tested it when the first time he called me to just cuddle and watch a movie, we did not mess around at all. We kissed a few times then just went to sleep. Sometimes I don't know if this guy is real or not but I'm keeping him around.
Name: English Major
How it's going: FINALLY someone that I can be totally nerdy with and talk about books. I know I have a huge obsession. But HELLO, I was an English major too and reading has been my obsession since I was little. I mean I taught myself to read. Oh right, you want to hear about the guy. Well, that's how our convo started, books. Then we went out on a date and seriously my face hurt from laughing so much with him. Cute, super funny and we just clicked instantly. We can pick on each other and dish it out. Shoot, I even wore my ducky rain boots on our first date and splashed through puddles when we walked to find a bar and he thought it was hilarious and liked me enough to take me out again. We had a good time again, this time he kissed me. We had plans to hang out last weekend, but I ended up having to cancel because the roads were horrible in the snow and I prefer not to die no matter how much I like a guy. Sadly, I haven't really heard from him since. He sent me a text the other day apologizing for being MIA, just everything is crazy right now. But I personally think that he's just not that interested maybe. Major sad face there because I had a lot of fun with him.
Name: Mafia Man
How it's going: So nothing too exciting here. He lives in the North end, we had drinks, talked, got dinner and coffee and he drove me home because he kept me out past when the T runs. He was nice and sweet. HOT bod. But I just felt like I couldn't be my wild crazy self around him. We went out to dinner again near me, he stayed the night and we've talked since but I'm not actively pursuing him just because I feel like I have to rein myself back and I don't want to be with someone like that. I want someone that will run wild and crazy with me.
AND last but not least (I still am shocked by this one)
Name: HS guy
How it's going: This is a long story. So about a month ago while browsing matches on OKC I run into a guy I went to high school with, who also happens to be my very good friends cousin, who also happens to live in Boston. I freaked, I didn't click on his profile or anything. Called his cousin and was like OMG you will not believe who I just found. I didn't want him to find me which is why I didn't click on his (because you can see who has been checking you out). Well about two weeks ago I get a message from him saying "HEY are you HLMN from high school?" OH HEYYY yep that's me. I'm flipping out because I was SUCH a loser in high school and he was one of the hot popular guys. So here I am like fuck, he's found me what do I do. I casually respond. We make plans to meet up. I'm scared shitless because I've known him since 7th grade, but haven't seen him since we graduated and I'm a completely different person. I'm FUN (and he even concurred). So I go to his place. FUCKING SHOCKED when I run into his roommate whom I also went to high school with. I just chug a couple glasses of wine so I can chill the fuck out. We sit, catch up and talk and he's actually a great guy. We laugh and hit up some bars. I obviously stay the night because I'm toasted. I don't know what to expect from him because he's always been kinda a player (or was). But he texts me two days later saying he had a good time, then I hear from him again and we hang out Tuesday night. This time no roommate around so I'm more relaxed and seriously, we just had a good time. He's a funny guy and I can completely be me around him. The more drinks we have the more we talk about our past hook ups etc. I tell him about living with Class 5 clinger. He tells me about never having a gf, but how now that he has a big boy job (literally) he seems ready. The only thing that worries me about him is that he knows I'm a relationship person and I know he never has been. So my question is, where could this possibly go? I guess I just need to wait and find out.

SHE'S just not that into you
Okay, I need to put a quick little rant in here instead of a new list of guys because of something that happened this weekend.
Friday night, my friend L and I dressed up and hit the town to have a girls night out. She invited a guy that she had been talking to on OKcupid to meet up with us, which was fine because he brought friends along with him, one girl and one guy and they were a lot of fun. The two of them chatted it up all night and they had fun. I drank a lot (but no BO's!! yay!!! I was in control!!!) and danced around. Made friends with his friends. Made friends with the cute guy from Finland in an doubly nerdy/cute green cardigan. I just like to make friends. I think that for the most part I'm generally a nice person. However, if you're a guy this does NOT mean I am flirting. Just because I'm not interested in you does not mean I'm going to snub you and not talk to you all night, especially if we're in a small group of people. I'm going to be friendly and get to know you as a person.
Well, at the end of the night we were leaving and L's man and his friends were straggling in the bar. I walked out because we had to catch a cab. Apparently, I am really good at getting cabs and within 2 seconds I had one. L was trying to wait and say by to her new man, but the cabbie was getting pissed and about to leave. So we jumped in the cab and went on our way. He was a little upset that they didn't get to say good bye.
But what REALLY bothered me was that he thought I was being a bitch because I ran away so fast. He thought I was trying to ditch his friend who I had been hanging out with all night (along with the girl too, but apparently that isn't an important detail...) He was like why did she flirt with him all night if she wasn't interested. I was NOT flirting. Also, at one point he had at one point told me he was V, and I jokingly told him we would find him some ass that night and L's man said to her that I was being mean because he was just being honest with me. Still, I was just being funny and talking and making conversation and we were drunk. None of this adds up to flirting nor does it mean that I was INTERESTED. God, why can't a girl just be nice to people without it being misconstrued as it being flirting and that I want them in my pants?? SERIOUSLY. I don't WANT to be a bitch. I like making friends. But maybe guys just have egos that are too big to realize that.

Round One
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, the new year is proving to be crazy busy!! So for this round, after my disaster with
Name: Skater Boy
The scoop: Online dating has gone to a new level with its smart phone apps and that's how I came across skater boy. The OKcupid app has gps tracking so it finds matches in your area that you can meet instantly (I guess it's really good for those just looking to hook up). But that's how Skater Boy found me. I checked out his profile and he was cute artsy and has an adorable dog (that I pretty much just want to break into his house and steal). Things started off great, we hung out a couple afternoons and grabbed lunch, he saved me from crazy drunk guys at the bar and drove me home in the morning. We cuddled and hooked up. Had drinks. Just had some chill fun. But then he turned into a huge flake. We would make plans and he would never get back to me. This happened actually just last week. We texted about getting together sometime during the week, he asked what I had in mind, I asked if he wanted to see a movie. Nothing. Still never heard from that fucker. I don't like flaky people anyways.
Name: Hot Trainer
The scoop: I actually thought this one had promise. There was definitely a physical attraction. See first date: practically jumped on each other at the bar. We knew the same people because of training and the best part was even though he was a big meaty guy, he went to a music school and had his appreciation for the arts. I thought he was a real winner when he asked to hang out one Sunday and I was going to the Nutcracker with some people from the dance studio. I had an extra ticket so I offered it to him, or offered meeting up afterwards for dinner. He took the ticket! I was fully impressed and he was so nice to my crazy friends at dinner and they all hit if off. Sadly, I haven't seen or heard from him since then. He went away the next weekend, the weekend after that was Christmas and then New Years. I was the one to always initiate the hey what are you doing this weekend. So I figure I'd wait to see if he was still interested. Guess not. Major sad face because he was SUPER hot. At least I can give myself a pat on the back for that one.
Name: Filipino Guy
The scoop: So I came across a Filipino guy and I figured I would give the motherland a shot. I have NEVER dated an Asian guy in my life and this one was decent looking and the same kind of Asian as me!! Perfectttt. We went on FIVE dates, yes count them, FIVE. And I barely got more than a peck on the lips. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN??? He was in my apartment ALONE until like 1am one night and NOTHING. Either he moves super slow, or he's gay. Seriously, after the last date when he didn't kiss me at all I decided it was over. I can handle moving slow, but he was moving no where.
Name: Aussie
The scoop: What self respecting girl wouldn't take up the chance to go out on a date with a tall sexy man with gorgeous blue eyes and a HOT accent?!!! Ok, like most girls I have a HUGE fetish for accents. My ears literally perk up when I catch those sexy Irish, British or Aussie tones, especially when it's from a sexy sexy man. I just want control myself. We literally spent a whole weekend together, the first date was perfect. Dinner, brought me to the Top of the Hub (which was a bit romantic for a first date but I'm such a sucker for that stuff) and then the next day we went to a museum and had a bottle of wine at his place and of course hooked up. To top it off he was just the right amount of nerdy. Sadly, I texted him last week to hang out and he decides he has baggage and is still in love with his ex. God, even the good ones are damaged. The freak part of it is, we're going to the movies tonight together because I told him it's okay, we can just be friends (or maybe I can just at least lust over his sexy accent). I'll let you know how that one goes.
None of these guys were horrible. No girlfriends, no asshole-ish ways. They just weren't the right ones. It gives me hope for Boston guys.
