Bitterness is so Sexy. Come to Think of It, so is Sarcasm.

So, yesterday's post wasn't elegant. Especially the part about the person I'm no longer talking to.  I can accept that.  I'm bitter.  I've always been a little bitter when it came to him, which should have been a clue, but clearly, I'm no detective. (where am I coming up with these corny jokes?)

So, last night, rather than work on my homework, I decided to peruse OkCupid.  I don't like dating sites, and am almost always disappointed.  But I try, try again.  I do know people who have met their mates on one site or another; I'm not denying that they can work for some people.  They just don't work for me.  

OkCupid allows instant messaging.  A guy messaged me, I checked out where he lives and found it to be not TERRIBLY far away, and engaged him in conversation for several minutes.  The end of the conversation went like this:

Dud:  My experience is girls grab on too tightly when I'm a great guy to them.

HBlue:  my experience is that guys who think they're all that are full of shit. lol

Dud:  What am I supposed to say? You'd be a fool to date me?
Dud:  I am confident in my ability to make a girl happy.

HBlue:  good. confidence is important

Dud:  It just takes me much longer than that to find out if she makes me equally happy - for the long run that is.

HBlue:  longer than what?

Dud:  Most girls fall for me before I'm sure I'm completely into them.

Dud:  That's why I like to warn them to take that part slow.

HBlue:  and how long does it normally take for them?

Dud:  A couple dates.

HBlue:  oh. I think this should be goodbye. not sure I could take the heartbreak.
 
Dud: Your sarcasm is overwhelming...

HBlue:  indeed. good luck to you hon. maybe you'll meet someone where the situation would be reversed.  I have homework to do.

He is, truly, a gift.  That is why he's still single.  Too many girls clamoring to his door.  Everybody wants a piece.

I went to the gym this morning, did some upper body strength training, both with dumbells and the pulley machine.  Then I jogged just over 2 miles at a 4.3 pace, with 1-2 minute walking intervals every 10 minutes or so.  I'm trying to work on my endurance for this half marathon.  I feel like I have to conquer it this year.  No excuses.  I'll need to get some hill work in next time I go to the gym, and do the step mill.  I'm supposed to run with my friend tonight, but I'm actually hoping it rains.  I'm achey and tired.  I don't think I'll be a good running buddy today, but I've crapped out on her too often, so I need Mother Nature to do the dirty work for me.
