The Dateable Dork

Dating (mis)adventures of an unexpectedly sexy New Yorker

  • About Me

    I’m a 30-year-old (!!!), single, charming, and totally dorky girl taking on the ridiculous New York dating scene. When guys are surprised to see a sex kitten emerge from behind my dorky exterior, I just smile and reply, “Who ever said that dorks can’t be sexy?" [More]

Blasts from the past

15 Oct 2009

In the past 24 hours, I’ve randomly been contacted by two people with whom I’d completely lost touch for way too long:

(1) An old friend from high school who found me on LinkedIn – ha, I guess that site is good for something after all.  I almost shit a brick when his email popped up in my inbox, and I hope to organize a mini-reunion with him and our little high school dork brigade in the near future.  I’m excited to catch up wtih them!  I wonder if they’re all still dorks like me?  Oh, who am I kidding – of course they are.  : )

(2) I got a text, completely out of the blue, from the new male prospect tonight.  (I think the last time we talked was here.)  I was very pleasantly surprised to hear from him, and we wound up catching up over the phone just a little while ago.  How great!  It was so good to chat with him again, and despite all the drama that may have occurred between us a few years ago (sorry, old blog, no links!), I think we’re actually very good as friends and am looking forward to having lunch with him sometime soon.

I wonder who else will be popping back into my life?  Don’t these things always happen in 3s?  : )

    Not Hot Marine Says:

    Yo DD,

    Remember all these dudes who would, for a lack of a better term, love you and leave you? NMP is one of those guys. Sure, it’s a cute date, sure he’s a lot of fun and sure you have great physical chemistry. But sure, he won’t call you for a few weeks.

    Seriously, find someone new…or a few new guys.

    Or maybe you can wait until Hot Marine invites you to his wedding and asks if you want to bone “for old time’s sake” in the coat room. Those tissues aren’t for crying, you know.

    Find some New New Male Prospects.

    I totally agree with Not Hot Marine. Having said that this is your life and you do as you please :) What happened to the significant ex? Did he back to you in the end??

    Ok, ok, I admit it – my interactions with the new male prospect have been less than healthy over the past few years, but I really do enjoy my friendship with him, and it was great to get back in touch. He’s been exclusively dating his GF for over a year now, and he and I are JUST friends. No funny business. Besides, his GF sounds like a nice girl. I’m happy for them!

    As for New Year’s Lips – he did eventually write back after my “I’m done with this bullshit” email. He waited a week to get back to me, and his brilliant response was something like “Yeah, I didn’t really know what I was up to there… sorry!” Whatever!! Moving right along.
