An Update

I'll give you and update on my dating "score."

Match.com dates: 0-2

"Real World" dates (i.e., girls that I didn't meet through a computer): 0-3

I have been on anywhere from 1-4 dates with these women, and it's been interesting.

I have just started talking to a girl that my aunt introduced me to. Disadvantage: she's only 23. Advantage: she's 6' tall. (For those of you that don't know, I'm 6'3".) We talked for the first time last night and it went pretty well, and I'm planning on going out with her sometime next week. I have learned a while ago to have exactly zero expectations when going out on first dates. My hope before any given first date is about 5%. It makes it a lot easier that way.

One odd thing of late, I have seen 3 very attractive black women (1 from Texas, 1 from Kenya, and 1 from Nigeria) in the past 3 days at 2 of the clinics that I work. And they were all single. Hmm, maybe I should go back to black?

On a completely random note, I'm working in a clinic in Dallas today. The office manager here is very cool and we get along very well. She told me that there was a client that she thought that would be good for me to date. I told her great, because I'm up for dating pretty much anybody once. I'm not desperate, but I think that it's pretty easy to be too picky, and you never know who you will be attracted too.

Back to the story, I told the office manager to set it up. And then she said very loudly, "What are you gonna say to her? 'Hey Baby, you wanna take ride in my HUMMER?'" There was a client on the other side of the door, and since the doors are made of rice paper, the client heard her. Not exactly a professional thing to say when a client can hear.

Well, I'd better get back to "working." I really don't see too many patients at this clinic, which is kinda nice.

Keep on keepin' on.
