Freak Out

I'll update you on the dates and call backs in second, but first, I've got to tell you how freaked out I am. Please tell me I shouldn't be and that I am just being stupid. Here's the story:

A guy I went to middle and high school with friended me on FB last week. He's apparently (from what I can tell) just recently joined. He sent me a note with his request about how we went to school together and he hoped I remembered him, etc. Sounded a little canned but nice. So I friended him. He immediately sent me an email via FB asking how I was, what I was doing, and telling me he was now a screenwriter and he'd be more than happy to share is scripts with me if I was interested. I didn't respond (it was Friday afternoon and I had a busy weekend and didn't get on FB all weekend). On Sunday he sent me the exact same email but this time to my personal gmail account. I was a little creeped out, it's like, leave me alone, I'll respond when I can. So I responded to the FB email that evening. It was short and sweet and I didn't give him a whole lot of information. He never responded but since then just about everytime I get on FB he immediately IM's me. Today he asked me if I worked from home (strange). If you saw the dudes picture and knew the type of person he was in school you'd understand my concern (he pretty much fits the profile of a serial killer). I did a little digging and found out all his screenplays are horror/murder flicks. Great. Also found out he lives in Overland Park. Great. And even better, he apparently (from what I can tell online) still lives his parents house(probably in the basement). So....for some reason he has me freaked out. Like he's gonna show up at my house and turn one of his screenplays into a real life experience. I'm so freaked out I set my house alarm ALL THE TIME. Not just when I leave and sleep, but when I take a shower, when I'm upstairs doing stuff, etc. I've also contemplated making up some hair brain story the next time he IM's me about being really tired because I've been moving all day (and telling him I moved in with my make believe boyfriend). I'm thinking that may scare him off. Please tell me I'm just being stupid (but first, go to my profile on Facebook...he's the last person I friended and look at this picture) !!!!

Okay...now onto the reason you probably came here to begin with...the post game report. I was a little suprised last night when Date #1 (drinks tues night)texted me to tell me he had had a dinner date with another gal and felt more chemistry with her so he'd like to see where that goes. Whatever. I can't say I'm all that upset. He was really nice and very safe. I knew people that knew him which is always a good thing but the fact I knew his ex-wife creeped me out a little. He didn't really knock my socks off and I wasn't all that excited about going on a 2nd, 3rd, 4th date with him. He was just...safe. Plus he was a tad on the short side for me and balding.

Meanwhile, I was really wasn't expecting to hear from lunch date yesterday. I had myself set up for a let down. I really felt like I probably wasn't his type. He comes off as being the type of guy that would probably go for the tiny, little blonde barbie girls (and could easily get whomever he wants...he pretty much looks like Ken). Layer that on top of being super successful, fun, athletic and yeah, I was thinking I probably wouldn't hear from him. But I did! He texted me last night and we went back and forth for quite a while. He told me he was really glad he had met me. We joked about how much territory we covered in an hour lunch (it was seriously like rapid fire). That was another reason I thought I wouldn't hear from him, I thought maybe I told him too much (come to find out, he thought he had done the same). I actually told him Farhad's name...that right there is usually enough to scare men off...I think at that point they begin to question my judgement. It was hysterical when I told him his name though...he says, "that makes me think of Far-quad from that Disney movie". Anyway, that apparently didn't scare him off. We haven't made plans to see other again. Might be a little challenging as he has his son until Sunday night, leaves for a work trip to the East coast Monday morning, then headed to North Carolina next weekend for a buddies wedding. Regardless, I was happy and little suprised to hear from him so soon after our little meet and greet.

That's it. I'm out. Let's all pray I don't get butchered into bite size pieces and shoved into a suitcase.
