I met up with "teacher guy" last Thursday. Going into it, I was pretty ambivalent about him. We hadn't had much conversation through email or the phone, and it took weeks to finally plan a date/time/place to meet. I was right to be ambivalent - "teacher guy" wasn't much for conversation other than the following topics:

1. Coaching track this season is not fun because he doesn't have anyone exceptionally good on the team.
2. Working out is his life and he has a ridiculously strict diet that causes him to essentially eat the exact same thing everyday. (He splurged going out to dinner at Mad Mex and after eating his entire burrito, proceeded to talk about how much time he would have to spend in the gym because of it. Then don't eat the whole burrito!!)
3. His family inconveniences him on many occasions - having to watch his parents dogs or his sister's children coming over (which, by the way, he makes the kids pretty much stay in his kitchen because god forbid they touch anything. They're just kids!!)

I was happy when dinner was over and I got to go home. He said that he would give me a call and we should hang out again. I'm glad that was a lie so far and I haven't heard from him and it will hopefully remain as such.

Unlike "med student guy" who kept messaging me. In the end, I opted for choice number 3 from the previous post. Before there's an uproar as to me putting myself in that situation, it turns out that the place he suggested (because I was rather ambivalent as to where but I laid down the law as to when - no weekends and not staying out late and not on days when I already had plans) is run by a guy I met awhile ago who used to hang out at the bar I go to in Oakland. I checked with my offline guy (details on him to follow) and the guy still runs the place in Bloomfield. So it will be nice tonight if the guy I know is there because I'll definitely feel safer. I didn't tell "med student guy" that I know the guy who runs it though. I'm sure he'll figure that out if he actually shows.

However, I'm kind of hoping that "med student guy" doesn't show. When I mentioned to my offline guy that I would be there tonight, he asked if he could stop by and have a drink with me. I told him it was a meeting (I didn't say what kind) so this should be interesting. I couldn't tell him 'no'. And I'm definitely looking forward to getting to spend some time with offline guy during the week instead of just the weekend. I also mentioned to offline guy that there's a chance that the "meeting" might be canceled since it was supposed to have happened a couple months ago. So I asked if he would be on Facebook (he can't read these posts thank god!) so I could send him a message in case it was canceled. His reply was that he had some errands to run today, but that he should be home by 7.

The only reason that I'm not too concerned about my offline guy is because I've known him for years and he knows that I've been doing the online dating. He has stated that he doesn't want a relationship (but I don't know if he means something else like "not right now" or "ever") and I told him that I am looking to date someone. But I know he's not dating anyone else and we have been spending all weekend together the past 3 weekends or so. And I'll probably see him this weekend and next weekend at Carnival. He said he wanted to come with me - does he know what that entails?

So hopefully everything will work out and offline guy won't be mad. I don't think he will be. I'm also really glad he's going to be there at 9 in case "med student guy" turns out to not be who he says he is because I feel very safe with my offline guy and I trust him, which are very big things for me. I'm curious to see how this night plays out...
