The Sweet and Sour

By My So Called Love Life

What I’m listening to: Lady Gaga (of course)  

As it’s the first time meeting me fellow Pickv’s, I will let you know a bit about myself. I work in promotions here at Pickv.com. I am the one who is going to try to make it out to all of those singles events. So if there is some major singling and mingling I will be there! 

Also, I am single myself, so is any one out there on the look out for a nerdy blonde girl who may or may not blog about our date? ;)  We’ll get back to that in a second. 

So, talking about first impressions… I myself had a couple of first encounters this week. 

I had two dates this week. One was with a sweet Fireman that was smoking hot and I can only imagine how he looks in his fire suit. Though, the chemistry was not even a fire hazard. Our date was sweet, we met at a frozen yogurt shop. I do have to say our conversation felt artificial and unsweetened. We talked about our family, work, and school. Though, there were some sparks of hope. Especially when the topic of music came up. He asked me who I was currently listening to at the moment. Since, I am unashamed to say Lady Gaga has been ruthlessly been put on repeat on my Itunes. I blurted it out like I was a musical rebel. Though, I know Lady Gaga has been everyones’ sweet addiction these days. He smiled and gave me a high five. Sadly, his response was a little to complacent. He said he listens to everything. This marked him in the box of people pleaser. Way to hose down my hope Fireman. I know I shouldn’t be so judgmental, but how can I like you when you don’t even know what YOU like. I like people who are passionate about themselves, this means being passionate about the foods they choose, the music they play on the long commute to work, that book that changed their life, or the movie that brought luster back into their souls.  

If you don’t have passion for life, why would I want to be passionate about you? 

So on to my second date with Doctor ego. Doctor ego looks great on paper. He’s smart, funny, and oh so good looking. I would definitely put on make up for my Doctor’s appointment with him. If Doctor McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy had a little brother it would be Doctor ego. Doctor ego and I met at a frozen yogurt shop too (different yogurt places from mine and the Fireman’s). When I first saw him he made my stomach jump up with excitement. The conversation was light, he made me laugh and made me wonder. Though, a guy like this could be just playing me or he could be really interested. The worst part is he knows his best attributes and his worst. Yet why am I drawn to this man that is full of cockiness? Fireman was sweet and polite, where Doctor ego said whatever was on his mind, even if it wasn’t within the dating guidelines of proper etiquette. He knows what he likes; he likes The Killers which I had blasting in my “hoopty” Ford Taurus all through High School. He wants to take me out to Indian or Mexican food. My two top foods I want to have with me if I ever had to eat only two ethnic dishes until the end of time. Is this a match made in killer Bollywood movies heaven? Hmmm… stay tuned, from my experience on watching Grey’s Anatomy McSteamy is a real heart breaker….
