It's On!! For Now...

I texted "med student guy" last night when I found out that girls' poker night was canceled. I hadn't heard anything from him by quarter after 7, so I decided to put in a movie. The post-Super Bowl exhaustion set in halfway through the movie and I fell asleep. It was the weirdest thing - I woke up, realized the movie was over, sat up, and the phone rang. It was "med student guy". I answered and we were talking for awhile.

Neither of us really remembered talking to each other Sunday night amidst all of the celebrating (apparently he was being supportive of his Steelers fan friends so he was celebrating.) So we covered our celebrating and where we had gone to watch the game. He told me that DeJuan Blair (phenomenal Pitt basketball player that he says he's friends with) was in the parade as he was invited by Charlie Batch. He also told me about the incident on the elevator on Monday when he had an errand downtown and was getting harassed by Steelers fans because he was wearing his Cowboys coat. I can't believe he owns a Cowboys coat...

"Med student guy" said he was feeling better, but still having a hard time getting around to get to class, get errands done, and get to physical therapy. I made mention of us finally getting to meet and he asked what I was doing Friday. I don't think I have any plans (if anyone is reading this and we do have plans, let me know - I'm going to have to apologize and reschedule, but then again if you're reading this then you'll understand why.) So Friday it is! Not long after though, he asked if he could call be in 10 minutes because he wanted to go get a drink, and never called back. I hate that - I'm always afraid that he's fallen down and hurt himself.

Friday - take two. I'm really hoping that this Friday he doesn't call me as I'm getting dressed again and reschedule. I won't be able to take it if he does. And unless he reschedules for Saturday or Sunday, then I'm not going to the basketball game on Monday. I was asked earlier today why I wouldn't, because it sounds like a great first date. I have to meet him before we go to the game. Aside from the general pressure of meeting someone that I'm really interested in, there is the pressure of being at the game where we can't really talk because I'll be into the game. Maybe we'll hang out afterward, but if we don't click in person like we do talking through various other forms, then I'm that girl who just used him for basketball tickets. And potentially really great basketball tickets. On top of that, if the seats are really great seats, then I'm already going to feel like I'm on the spot since everyone in the arena is looking towards the court and I will hopefully be very close to the court. I know - I have created too much pressure myself. I can't help it...overactive imagination. I'm keeping that in check in other ways so I think you should give me this one.

Regardless, I am really hoping that this time Friday will work out. And that Monday, if not before, I will finally have a second date with someone that I really like.
