Nerds Dating and Reproducing

Lovers and friends, I have rejoined the world of daters. I just joined a website called It's Just Coffee dot com, which was FREE (always a plus). I had been giving serious thought to Match dotcom because I'd done it before and, while not successful, worth a shot, especially since one of my new co-workers was having some luck with it. But this site is free and I'll try it first to see if anything comes of it. Myspace hadn't been doing a bad job but I need to widen the scope. Actually, I just need to get away from it because there are memories. Hurt-y memories. and bad habits. Of checking ex-boyfriend pages.
So, moving onward, right? Right?!? Where is the encouragement of my loyal friends? You know who you are! You put me on this damn challenge to begin with. The least you can do is send me some electronic encouragement!

Oh, that reminds me. I did me some old-fashioned kinda meeting/greeting stuff last night. I went out with some of my new co-workers for trivia night in this bar in South Boston (where the Southies live). Yikes, trivia is huge here, who knew? Anyway, right behind us was this group of 3, 2 guys and girl, competing in the trivia challenge. Well, the questions were hard, so there's a lot of joking and whispering our answers so the other team doesn't get it, etc. And we get kind of a sparse but easy conversation going with them. And I definitely made eye-contact with one of the guys. I thought he was such a cutie. I thought I was imagining "interested" eye-contact back but I'm never sure about that, until one of my co-workers told me that he was definitely eye-ing me up. He seemed shy so that totally made sense to me. We told them that we were going to be there next Friday for Trivia Night again. And even tho the bar doesn't serve food after 4 pm, isn't all that much to look at, is pretty empty, and only serves Coors Light beer, the entire group ensured me that we are going to go back next Friday because this guy made eye-contact with me. My co-workers are nice people.

That must have given me the confidence to sign up for It's Just Coffee. Oh by the way, I'm supposed to plug the site, by posting Brainy Personals. Check it out.
