Bikes and Boys
Well, I took the Watanabe to Bicycle Michaels so I can get the rear triangle widened to accept a standard non-NJS rear wheel. I’m also getting the tracks ends filed to accept a standard 10mm axle.
I can’t wait to get it back from them. I’m ordering wheels from IRO Cycles and getting various other parts from various other places.
So far it’s looking like this: Silver ITM Open 800 Stem, same Black IRO Wheels as my IRO, same Nitto B123 Drop bars as my IRO, haven’t decided on cranks yet.
Well, dinner went well. Then again, the last time it went well I didn’t hear from him for 6 months. lol
It was fun. I like him. I’m leaving it at that for now.
My neurotic mind is now comtemplating calling or e-mailing him, but should I wait? I think waiting is stupid, but if everyone suggests it, maybe it’s the best thing to do? Uhg. I really, really, really, hate dating. Especially when you’re just starting to get to know someone. I think this is supposed to be the exciting part. I’ll just replay different senarios in my head until I can’t take it anymore and then e-mail him. Then, I’ll stress over how I should have called. :/

Here’s the deal… all the ways to ‘play it right’ have to do with making a non-perfect relationship last longer. If you are both in the same place at the same time, screw ups, faux pas, and other social errors will be forgiven.
In the first month of my relationship with Pallie, I invited her to the B Christmas party. I worked the morning shift (Rick Dees, I beleive) from 6-10, and didn’t exactly sleep the night before. I ended up sleeping into the time I was supposed to pick her up. Major faux pas - she thought she was getting stood up. She forgave me and we had a great time. You can ask Stacey for details on that night! I think you had already been thrown against the wall and weren’t at the station any more. Or were you?

Yeah, I totally get that. But, when you (at least I) really like someone I tend to stress out about it and think that any move I make (or not make) will instantaneously wreck whatever chance I had at making it “work.” Granted, I know full and well that if someone is interested in you that chances are they’ll contact you ect… I think we all know the reality vs. what we do. I mean, it’s been a week since the date and he replied to my email (yes, I emailed him) and said he had fun too, but hasn’t mentioned a follow up invite. Do I A) assume he’s being polite and not really interested and forget about it or B) say fuck it and ask myself. There’s the rub.

So what? You’re the woman in this thing? You have to wait for him to ask? What if he’s waiting for you to ask? Man up. He gives you the ‘let’s be friends’ and you move on, or maybe something good happens.

You’re right. You’re right. I’m just totally a chick when it comes to dating. I’m always waiting around for them to ask me out, and they never do. Then, when I break down they always tell me they were waiting for me to make a move. I HATE that. Uhg.

See what manning up a growing a pair can do for you? When the wife and I got together, I offered to take her to the Depeche Mode concert - big shot radio guy I was. She never called until the day after the show. I asked her out for later in the week and she said she was going out of town, so I broke the cardinal ‘rule’ - I asked her out for that night - and then broke another ‘rule’ by taking her to a place that I had never been. F the rules. Damn the man! Save the Empire!
