Hey!
I think I just got internet dumped. I've been wondering how this works on Chemistry. I had a feeling that they let you down so easily that you don't even know you've been let down. Previously Mr. Princess still appeared on my list of "Connections" now he is no where to be found.
No notification of my breakage.
Poor form Chemistry, poor form.
Even Berger leaves a post it.
Post Edit:
Ohhh I found out how I can tell if I've been sent to pasture. I have to go to my "Not Reallys" and scroll until I see that someone not really-ed me. Mr Princess said "I'm not a good fit." Hum, well put Mr. Princess, if not in a kind of lame and wussy way.

Post Game ReCap
First Date with Mr. Princess last night.
Rating: ♥♥♥
We played Trivia. We only had two players but still got 3rd place. I was pretty clutch with my knowledge of bad 90's bands and he knew some famous Asian dudes by name.
The first thing he said to me was, "you don't look like your picture." I still don't know if that was a compliment or a complaint. (Note: I didn't get red hair but perhaps it's slightly blonder than in some pictures)
Conversation did not flow easily. It wasn't exactly pulling teeth but could be the dating/dentist equivalent of a very forceful cleaning. Scratch that Tartar off!
Perhaps the art of in person conversation is dead? I know I'm not the #1 Pro of Stranger conversation but I at least know how to get a good volley on. (I hope you are enjoying all of these metaphors, if that's what they even are, it's been a long time since I've been in a useful English course, not you, Upper Division English for Business Majors.)
Seriously though, If I say something like, "I was doing volunteer work in Xtown, Texas." What might you say after that? Hint: The answer is not stare and nod. Still stumped? Let me help. Here are some ideas: "What volunteer work were you doing?" "With a particular organization?" "For how long?" "That sounds really cool, I volunteer at blahblah." etc etc. I think this is a serious problem, parents, teach your boys to interact with other humans, PLEASE. Write a song about that, John Mayer.
He bought my beer, which gave him a few points. He has a cool job of designing parts of the space shuttles. He doted on my correct answers; I enjoy basking in the glow of correctness. He texted me after saying he'd like to do it again; I guess he thought it was a good date.
Basically the conclusions are that it wasn't awful and I'm not sure why it wasn't as fun in person as it was in print; I had no burning hot spark of attraction but I will probably give him one more shot just to see.

Singleminded
Unless you are Sara, you might have forgotten that I have a date tonight with Mr. Princess. Not only do I need to look good and be charming but I need to brush up on my useless knowledge. We are playing trivia. It's been my experience that nothing wins a man over more than being able to recognize the elevator music version of Hot for Teacher.
I've already hopped upon the emotional roller-coaster from excited to nervous to convinced that he'd bail and have now safely arrived at meh. I feel like meh is a good place to be for a first date. If you are overly excited it just makes you feel nervous and act awkwardly. Dread, as we learned from Mr. Clean, makes you act aloof and bitchy. So meh is a happy medium, I hope, where I'll just be my extremely charming self.
I'm going to wear my green ninja scarf, so that will be fun. I might also have strawberry blond hair as I'm going to get my hair done this afternoon so we'll see.
This might be my only post today since I might be too tired to write post date (it takes a lot of energy to be smart and funny and hot, ::flips hair::) and I don't really care to think about any other dating today. Monogamous thinking has always been a problem for me. Darn.

Victory Kick, Woot!
It's a date! A date I'm actually excited about. Trivia at the Lobby. Trivia, tater tots and Agave Wheat? Dream date!
For my ninja team (if its captain even reads this anymore) Thursday night at 8. My safety is in your hands. My love life is in mine. Yuck, I need to stop watching the Bachelor it makes me lame.

Hello, I Like Monday
After a weekend of zero internet action, literally not one message or response on Chemistry, Monday has come in a like a lion, a sexy lion, RAARRR!
I have two new emails! Now I don't have to write a post about my generation and how we can't function without instant gratification because I got some and now no longer care about broad insight.
One email was from Mr. Princess and it looks like we might have a meet-up on Thursday. I'm actually very excited about this one. I even have dork smile about it. He is already funny and seems like a lot of fun. He likes cheeseburgers and trivia. Sara said I should tell y'all more about him but I can't really think of what to say. (That y'all was a hint)
The second email was from a guy I'd given up for gone. He sent a short one about how I seemed cool but he was worried we live too far apart. I understand that. So we'll see about that. I guess he deserves a nickname so he can henceforth be known as Mr. Fortfun. So not obvious.
Raarrr!

Just keep Swimming
When I quickly read my e-mail from Mr. Princess the other day I didn't notice the part where he asked to grab a drink sometime next week. Yes, a drink not a marathon date. Nice. Replied and agreed. This one is having some good potential and making me have a slight nerd smile.
I still haven't figured out how to get rid of those who "noticed me" whom I don't want to notice back, they are clogging up my matches and making me feel more popular than I am. It must be like facebook poking, pointless and kind of annoying after a few pokes.
Chemistry is telling me I have a "Hidden Chemistry" with one fellow... let's see how deeply buried it is. Oh he's actually kind of cute. Thanks Chemistry. Conservative... is it time to be open-minded about that? Scary, what if he tries to commandeer my uterus for my own good but then doesn't give me money for medical costs? Guess it's a risk I'll take.
Going down the list....
You say you are good looking but you don't include a picture. So either you are so good looking you are tired of being judged on your good looks or you are not good looking and also a liar. Hum...I'll ask him for a photo and decide later.
Guy seems cute but looks really different in all the pictures. Another Conservative, sigh. Where are my nutty but adorable liberals? Probably off corrupting the mainstream media somewhere... I can only handle one conservative at a time, sorry.
Weird this guy has a very similar opening line as the last guy. Something is rotten in Denmark.
A yes to a guy who may or may not be cute. (I'm feeling very vain right now)
A no to a guy with a little head.
Oh and I'll say yes to you because your headline is a DMB lyric.
Finished with that part. I have decided to get to know 3 more men. I should keep a running total.
Now to send off the quick step ones and then put off the short answer questions because now I'm worn out again. Good thing all of these potentials don't turn into real dates, I'd be exhausted.
I'm kind of curious if Chemistry doesn't tell you if you are rejected. I have some dudes who I started the process with but then they stopped replying. Did they reject me and Chemistry didn't even tell me? It's okay Chemistry I can take it.
Done. Feeling Accomplished.

Introducing Mr. Princess
I now have my first email from a second fella. He hasn't previously been mentioned because we went through the steps pretty quickly. His codename will be Mr. Princess. He seems funny and likes Almost Famous. Updates to come.
