How embarrassing...

So I don't know why I let these kinds of things happen to me. Ugh.

If you haven't read my previous blog about McGorgeous, then you must do so before reading this one.

I could honestly say, tonight was easily a classic "most embarrassing" moment of my life, but a huge amusement to my friends so I guess I don't mind so much. If you guys get a kick out of it, then I'm all for it.

Anyway, so after an amazing show at the Shoreline with HEART & JOURNEY (seriously AMAZING), my girls and I wanted to grub and drink... some more. We headed over to T.G.I.F for some AMFs and Mojitos (yum right?), and the hostess sat us conveniently at the window.

At this point, it was only my friend and I waiting for two other friends. We were just sitting, talking about the usual girl stuff, and who do I see walking on the other side of that window? Oh yes, you guessed right... McGorgeous. I'm sitting there, apprehensive, we have our moment, heart skipping...

Cue cheesy music again! "Dream weaver..." You get the point.

Really though?

"Out of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, [he] had to walk into mine..." (Casablanca 1942. If you didn't know. Watch it).

So there he is (God knows his name). At the bar. Looking "easy on the eyes," as always.

I start sweating again.

F*ck.

This is when the other two girls join us. We're eating and enjoying our calorie-loaded food, and he gets up to leave with his friends. I let my ladies in on the story, then out of nowhere he passes by, knocks on the window where we were sitting, smiles, and waves to me.

I've never spoken to this guy in my life! We only have our moments in class. But nothing more.

So what do I do? NOTHING. Ugh. Stupid me.

All these thoughts were processing. "Is he waving to me? Oh geez he's beautiful. Wait... Is he waving to the person behind me? I'll look stupid if I wave." Can you imagine all these thoughts in the shortest period of time possible? So I gave him this smug look out of stun and confusion.

Why?!?! Everyone was looking at me like, "Ummm... Crystal, do something!"

But I didn't do anything! I'm having flashbacks. Weird instant replay moments.

Grrr I'll just bury my face in my laptop during class, hoping that he might have been too intoxicated to remember.

=/

Yuuup, only me.

Eyegasm!

This is wonderful.

So you're sitting quietly in class wondering what you're gonna eat for lunch right?

"Okay maybe I should get Togo's. No wait. I want Quickly's. Hmmm no that's fattening..."

For some reason, you snap out of it and a force field starts pulling your head towards the door, and in he comes.

(Note: For any of you Grey's Anatomy fans, you know what I mean when I say McDreamy or McSteamy. Yah... this guys is McGORGEOUS. No joke.)

Wind blowing. Slow motion.

Cue cheesy music. "Dream weaver...I believe we can reach the morning light..."

AH haha

ME: Oooo... girl.

Rox: What?

ME: Uhhh... hello

Rox: (She laughs) shut up

ME: *sigh* Wait... I think I know him

Rox: Really?

ME: (I laugh.out.loud) I think we used to work together at Chili's

Rox: Nice.

I exchange smiles with him

*Awkward turtle*

ME: I think I'm sweating...

F*ck.

Round and round we go.

... Like a carousel. At some point, it comes to a full stop. The cycle comes full circle, and you're forced to take a closer look into the past. You look over all the new prospects, the "what-ifs and what-could've-beens," and even old flames. Have you ever thought about how many types of guys have come and gone in your life? This is my take on the "Male Taxonomy." (Note: This is for entertainment purposes)

I want to start with Needy Ned who just never really got it. No matter how honest or upfront, he just brushed it off. You get a response that may sound like, "I'm sorry you feel that way... So how about dinner sometime?" There's a difference between being persistent and being obnoxious.  Relax. But you could have someone like Nice Guy Nick to change perspective. He's sweet and endearing, and very cordial in his invitations, but... well he's TOO sweet. Borderline boring sometimes, and so close to the "friend zone," might of as well just call him "Bro." This is unfortunate if he's really into you. Just make sure he doesn't turn into a Ned.

Now, you may have also encountered the Prince Charming Charlie type of guy. Okay. I'm sure we've come across many. Charlie makes you giggle like a school girl. Sickening right? Beyond gorgeous, knee weakening, flirty. But you get that feeling in the pit of your stomach, and a red flag comes up. Then you find yourself with a Lusty Leo kind of guy who is an evolved form of Charlie. Can you imagine? Not only is he all of the above, but Leo is PURE bad boy, and you like it. You're instantly intrigued. He's dangerous. You're curious. It happens ladies. Just remember, it's okay to look, but touch at your own discretion. 

As you go about life, you're more in touch with who you are. You learn what you want and what you don't want, and what you're deserving of. Then one day, you meet "Mr. Right Now" Ricky. Ricky is great. You guys have fun with each other, you have a lot in common, but you just know that he's not the one you imagine yourself ending up with. "Ricky, it's not you, it's me. I'm sorry." 

Now you struggle with the question, "am I ever going to find HIM?" and you go back and forth with yourself, wondering what is wrong with you, and you give up the search. Then, by some miracle, you meet Perfect Peter. Peter is everything you want. Handsome, funny, understanding, friendly, the list goes on. It was as if you dreamt him up in your head, and *poof* he's right there. So you invest. You give it all up.  You wait... and wait... Days pass, weeks, and months. The conclusion... absolutely nothing. "Did I do something wrong?" Not at all.  "He's just not that into you."

Come on! Really? So now you find yourself here at these cross roads, overwhelmed with all sorts of emotions, wondering why the tables have turned. No, not karma. Just a Sick Cycle Carousel. One day, it will come full circle at some point, and you're forced to take a closer look. This time, at yourself.

Thanks for letting me share.

 

Misogynistic bastard.

This cartoon reminded me about what happened today. I'll spare you the details. I'm just seriously errked.  

Times are changing though...

Watch out boys!

Here we come.
