Someone Noticed Me!

Logbook Entry : 00039
February 25th, 2010

So, other than meeting Emily back in Syracuse, I hadn't met anyone else. Suddenly, it would seem that since my picture showed up on television the other day, I had started getting emails from girls telling me that they had seen me on television and was wondering if I wanted to hang out sometime.

The email that stood out the most was from a girl named Nicky. She told me she lived in Manchester and worked at a local bar down there. She suggested we get together there, since it was a really nice spot. I emailed her back and told her I would like that. We arranged to get together that night.

As I stood outside the bar, I suddenly felt kinda ill. Butterflies were attacking my stomach and I almost headed back home before she even came outside to find me, but before I got a chance to bolt, Nicky found me. I introduced myself as we headed inside. We talked for awhile and ordered some food. She ordered a salad and I ordered just a side of fries. I wasn't really that hungry. We talked for about 10 minutes before our our food showed up and then something happened. I couldn't believe what she said. She asked the waiter if she could get some bacon bits for her salad. I stared at her in shock. I can't believe she asked that! Did she not realize what she just did? It was at the moment, that I had to leave and that I felt that it wouldn't be a good idea to see her again. She at that point realized what had happened and apologized tons. She said she should have been more considerate and hoped that maybe I would reconsider and hang out again sometime. I told her I didn't feel comfortable with that idea and left. I took notice of the front door and headed for it never looking back.

So the night was a disaster. This email from a girl I didn't even know, didn't turn out to be such a good idea. Problem was, when I got home, I checked my emails and found that 13 other girls had emailed me inquiring about whether or not I would like to go out sometime. You know, not that I don't like the attention, but I hope this doesn't happen to much. At the same time, I hope that it helps me find someone that I could spend the rest of my life with. I'm not crossing my fingers, but lets just see where this goes! Now who do I reply to next!
