When Pablo Picasso started painting, he went through different periods. He had his blue period and rose period before finally moving on to the style we all know him for, cubism. I think I’m going through a similar phase in my dating life. When I first started writing this blog, I had just broken up with a girl who was a brunette, and most of the girls I have dated since then were also brunettes. Well, this week I think I have officially moved on to my blonde period. I had 3 dates, with 3 blonde girls, all of whom I was very attracted to.
The first girl had very short blonde hair, was cute and kind of hipstery. We had drinks and it was fun. We work in the same business so that gave us something to talk about. Overall, I’d give the date a B-. I’ll may go out with her again, unless I meet someone I really click with.
The second girl had long, wavy, magazine hair and was very hot. I did find out that some of that hair was not hers but extensions. We had a great time, but she is a high maintenance kind of chick, and we met at a bar, so I’m not sure I want to date someone like that, but she is hot enough to keep me open minded. I’d give it a solid B.
The third girl was cute, funny, quirky and interesting. We had a pretty good date and we actually got to know each other through meaningful conversation. Overall, I give this one a B+, and I’ll give her a call in a few days.
SO HOW WAS LAST NIGHT? It was a pretty good week, but I’m keeping my options open, as there are more dates to be had. I guess I’m still considering the greater Los Angeles area to be like my blank dating canvas.

Is this a date?
I met a girl at a party and we got along great. She is a friend of a friend and we flirted, joked around and laughed the whole night. She came to the party with another friend of hers and after a while her friend wanted to leave. She asked to see my phone and put her number in it.
I thought this was a great sign and my hard work that night had paid off. I called her a few days later and left her a message. She texted me back, and eventually I asked her to dinner. Well, when I told my mutual friend about her, I was told that this girl had a boyfriend. That’s weird to me because I don’t think a girl with a boyfriend would or should be putting her number (unprovoked mind you) into a guy’s phone.
Well, I decided I would go to dinner and try to figure it out. We showed up and I tried to make some subtle references to make it sound like we were on a date. I thought she did the same, but then when we ordered wine I said “cheers” and she said something weird like “to new friends,” but then immediately thought that was a weird thing to say and we laughed about it, but now I was again unsure what the dynamic was. Dinner continued, and we did have a really nice time and I did like her a lot. She went to use the restroom, and I tried to pay the bill before she got back. She must have only gone #1 because she got back before I could sign the bill. She thanked me and thought it was sweet that I did that.
We talked a little more, and eventually (in what seemed like an appropriate time) I in a cute but awkwardly charming way said something like "Can I be awkward for a second, but then we can move past it and enjoy our desert?” She laughed and agreed, so I continued “Well I have to say that I’m not sure if this is a date or not because I thought it was, but then (Insert name here) told me you had a boyfriend, so I wasn’t sure." She said that she did not have a boyfriend but that happened recently. I thought that was good, and at another point she said something like "I'm
sure we will get to that on another dinner date."
We did not kiss goodnight or anything but she said she had fun and we said we should hang out again. Later that night she texted me saying "Thank you so much again for a wonderful evening!" I responded, "It was my pleasure. I had a great time and would love to see you again
(texting while driving is what I'm doing and its dangerous)."
She didn't respond.
SO HOW WAS LAST NIGHT? I think it was a date, so I called her today. I guess now I’ll wait to see if she calls me back.

Rebound
Mentally, I felt completely emasculated after hanging out with “no sex girl.” I don’t think she ever saw me as a sexual being and I felt like I might as well have not had a penis when I was around her. I never felt like that before, and was afraid of getting pulled down into a funk, so I realized I needed to do something drastic.
A few days after the "non-breakup breakup," I went out with a new girl. I had met her while I was dating "no sex girl" but since I had already felt like that wasn't going to work out, I got her number anyway. She was cute and nice, but I didn't see her as someone I was going to get into a relationship with. We had a good enough time though and I made a move.
SO HOW WAS LAST NIGHT: I was kind of like Shaquille O’Neal -- I went for the rebound and it turned into a slam dunk. Just don’t ask me to shoot free throws.
