Update-2.8.08

I'm officially 30 and life couldn't be better.

Aside from having the most wonderful family and friends, a job I enjoy, a nice home, and lots of great things on the horizon to look forward to, I have several new dating prospects that I'm really excited about!

The quality of matches from the dating site has been grim, at best, these last few weeks. I found myself getting discouraged and frustrated, and turning my attention to checking out guys at the gym and the grocery store. I've already learned my lesson dating gym guys (my closest friends may recall the Chaz debacle and the crazy story of my one and only date with Jim from the gym), so maybe that guy at Publix is a better prospect than the hottie in my cycling class.... anyway - none of that matters because other avenues have proven to be much more promising!

I had the GREATEST dentist appointment yesterday. Who says that??? Especially when getting a filling redone! But it's true. A little background - my dentist, and his entire staff, is gay or lesbian. Some are more obvious than others, but it's a universal thing there. Anyway, as I sat down in the chair, my dentist and his technician (who is a total Queen) were gathering their tools, etc and the dentist says to me "Girl - why aren't you married??" My response - "I just turned 30 yesterday and asked myself the same question!" What IS the appropriate response to that question?? Then I continued with "Do you have any good looking, eligible patients you'd like to introduce me to?" AND HE DOES!! He and the technician, and the hygienist on the other side of the wall who overheard the whole thing, told me all about this patient, Joe, who has been coming to him for years. He's apparently really nice, talkative and friendly, and takes good care of his teeth and gums (hilarious - but of course, they would know!). He's my age, an architect, and has beautiful blue eyes. They were all raving about how good looking he is - the dentist went so far as to say "If you meet him and tell him I said this, I'll deny it to the end, but he's got a rockin' bod and the tightest ass!" I almost fell off the chair - so funny!! So I just threw the question out there "Do you have a photo of him?" I had forgotten all about having my own photo taken there several years ago. So after having a quick "Is showing his photo ethical?" debate among the three of them, they pulled his photo up on to the monitor that was hanging from the ceiling. I think my favorite quote during that part of this experience was the dentist telling the technician to "Click on his thing! Click on his thing!" And, after realizing what he said, he was like "Uh, yeah - we'd like to click on his thing!" So funny!! Joe is really cute and looks like a nice guy - and yes, his eyes really are a great, bright shade of blue. They also showed me the close up of his teeth - kinda' creepy - but they are, indeed, nice and well-maintained. :) So I told them that if Joe was open to it, I was open to it. We'll see what happens... I think anything coming out of that will be a long-shot, but you never know! And even if nothing happens, the dentist visit experience of yesterday makes for a great story!

I've known about the second guy, Dave, for nearly two years. He's the colleague of one of my closest friends. She wanted to set us up 2 years ago, and it never worked out. She approached him yesterday and learned that he had just ended a several-month-dating "thing" and that he was up for meeting me. She gave him my information and he's going to contact me next week. Fun! Unfortunately, I'm traveling for work most of the week, but it will be fun to start communicating with him at least! She said he's very cool and even if there isn't any sort of spark, that we'll most definitely have a nice time together. You're probably wondering so I'll tell you before you ask - I have no idea what he looks like, and he doesn't know what I look like either.

And lastly, there's Brian (friend of sleazy coworker). I sill haven't heard back from him regarding happy hour next week (Friday), but I'm trying to be patient since he told me that this week was going to be out of control for him.

That's it for now - hopefully, I'll get some dates on the calendar again in the next few weeks and have more exciting things to report!
