It is nice when you stop overanalyzing your behaviour-- especially now, in our twenties, when it seems like so much of it is about "playing it cool". Blah. Yeah, it is a weird line between the awful scary jitters and the sweet giggly ones. It is nice when you stop overanalyzing your behaviour– especially now, in our twenties, when it seems like so much of it is about “playing it cool”. Blah.

But about six weeks ago, I met this guy at a party (I sort of knew him already through work, but I only officially "met" him that night) and we ended up having a bit of a kissing session. I wouldn't let him stay with me that night and I wasn't really sure if I wanted anything to come of it anyway, but then everytime I saw him things were awkward. I decided to email him and be nice just to clear the air and started to realise that I actually really liked him, because I never really "spoke" to him at the party I didn't know how funny and clever he was and so on. I ended up giving him my number last week and we have been texting quite a bit but I don't know if he's stil interested or not and I don't want to huniliate myself by just coming out with it and saying I like him in case I get rejected! And I can't understand why I'm 29 years old and almost wondering if I should try and get my friends to set something up as if I AM back in high school!!!

I've been seeing a great girl for several months now, and recently I was knocked on my heels by a startling revelation: I'm more afraid of something working out than of something NOT working out. Call me your typical scared-to-commit guy, but the prospect of meeting that matching-bathrobes, grow-old-together kind of girl is terrifying to me. See, if it doesn't work out, I know exactly how I'll handle it. I'll round up the guys and go paint the town in drunken revelry, then call that girl I've flirted shamelessly with for the past semi-odd months and revert back to the college version of myself (which, admittedly, isn't too far removed from the present version). In short, as juvenile as it may be, I'll be just fine. But if it does work out... well, I just don't know. I know I want to find that girl I'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with. Just not right now. So instead I'm filled with this jumble of feelings that all add up to me being scared. It turns out those old "I wonder what she's thinking right now" jitters weren't so bad after all. How's that for getting deep, Maris? Guess I'd better tune in next week to make fun of eHarmony...

I don't do the dating thing, because I hate it. I am much happier when it's totally comfortable, when you know all the quirks and can let each other be. I'm not sure when that happens, and I know you have to go through the awkward bit first, I just can't face it again at the moment. I was in a long term relationship (4 years) and I’m now single.
