Prospects and guess who

So, the other night, out with friends, one leaned across to the other and said "we've got to find Tony a girlfriend!"

It made me laugh. Have I become so pathetic?

To be honest, I think I'm working some angles my self.

There is a girl, one I have been set up with, whom I called last week, and we are supposed to go out this week. Nearly impossible as her only free time is my busy times. Still, maybe I can talk her into drinks after 10. If she feels like staying up late one night. So, there is that.

Then, there is a girl who I have been chatting with over the myspace. She is the one I met and asked out, only to be rejected. Well, we type to each other about three times a week. It's gone from goofy jokes to serious talks to wishes and dreams. I think she is totally cool, but she is a mom with 2 kids and I don't think she is looking for the same thing I am.

Too bad.

There are a couple of girls who are in one of the classes I assist. They are both single, and I think have a bit of a crush on me. I can't date them while they are students, but the class they are in ends in two weeks, and it isn't an ongoing thing. So, I might make a move. They are youngins, but seem really classy and mature. I invited both of them to my sketch show tonight.

There is a girl who I briefly met last week, who is in a troupe with one of my friends. I saw her, and thought she was cute, and we were kind of making eyes at each other, and then I found out she was in the troupe with my friend. So, rather than be a guy who hits on a girl at a bar (cheesy, sometimes) I opted for going through my friend. I'm not sure about this girl. I have since found that she was in the Navy. That seems like too much testosterone for me to impress. Still, who knows.

Then, not as an option, but just as a thought, I have a returnee. I am back in a show with TO. I had truly managed to displace her spell over me. It sort of took two months of just removing myself from her presence. Then, we got cast in this show. We've done two shows, and I try to not talk to her much backstage, but I'm not ignoring her. Well, each time, she makes a point of coming to me to talk.

This past week, she bought me a drink before hand. It was the drink I would always have before our other show. I asked if she was flush with money these days, and she said no, she just thought I was special. Red flag! I smiled, and left the room. I must admit though, that girl is perfect when I look at her. Something about the sparkle in her eyes. If I ever see that in another, who is single, I am jumping on that, because it is magic.

So, I'm not obsessing over TO, so don't worry, but she is back in my life again. I think however, I am in a stronger place this time. I feel options out there, and she becomes not so important because of that. Plus, those options don't have boyfriends, which I have come to find is a problem.
