It’s been two weeks since my last post and I have lots to update about.
Two weeks ago I finally had a date with the reporter I met at speed dating. We just grabbed a drink and watched his college team play football. Sports—specifically Big 12 football—have become a theme of my churning. When I used to meet a guy we would discuss the usual dating conversation topics including my job. I work on a very polarizing issue so I usually end up having very interesting, sometimes awkward conversations immediately upon meeting a new person. With churning this really hasn’t been the case. Maybe it’s because I met a lot of the guys on speed dating where we were given questions to answer that were not “what do you do?” and “where are you from?” In any case, I seem to be talking sports a lot.
So my date with the reporter was surprisingly fun. Very casual, I wasn’t dressed up and I wore my glasses. I actually double booked him and met up with the another guy later that night. Pretty sure things with the second guy are not on the road to progressing into a relationship, but with all the other churning distractions in my life, I can relax and just have fun!
For the record: He already had a drink when I arrived so I ordered myself one from the bar and paid, then he bought me a drink when he refilled.
