OOTD

Re: OOTD

    There really isn't much to spill about the date, except I'm really awkward at it.  I mean, I've done my share of fooling around over the past year or so, but without the desire for any type of relationship, it was easy.  I could chat up the guys forever.  Now that I'm thinking I might like to have someone to do things with on the regular, I suddenly don't know how to talk anymore.

    Anyway, I was out with my brother and his friends at a bar on Saturday, and got to talking with a really nice and really good looking guy.  I gave him my number and he texted me that night and asked me out.  I met him for lunch yesterday, and it was just...awkward.  Like, I fumbled trying to think of things to talk about.  Mostly because he's adorable and I like him.  GAH.
    Awww.  I get that.  Booze is your friend.  Just enough to get loose.  May I suggest the following "my ex had a huge nut sack.  What is yours like?"

  • Shamwow! Why you be so cute?!

    I have never seen a bad picture of Jens.

    Oh, perhaps you have not spent enough time perusing facebook.

    Oh, vicki. It is supposed to be awkward on the first date. Just part of the dance, right?

    Or am I remembering dating wrong? I just remember feeling so awkward on the first date with Mr. Winged.

    Yes, I guess you're right.  Also, I'm realizing another problem is that I just haven't ever dated much. Brian and I had mutual friends that were dating, so the 4 of us hung out together during the awkward phase, making it really easy.   Plus, I still kind of have fat girl insecurities and find myself thinking, "WTF am I doing here with this hot guy?"

  • Sorry Jens, your hair still looks perfect in that photo.  I sort of hate you and by hate I mean love and want to be you.

  • Also, I love you, Christin.  Just so you know.  And not only for your fashion choices. 

    Sorry to muddy up the OOTD thread with my dating dramz.

    I get this. it gets easier though. When I lost all my weight and started dating it was just so odd and I judged myself when I realized no one cared.

    That's nice of you. :) I bet though, once you spent a day as me, you'd be like "Get me outta here, b*tch be crazy."

  • I LOVE your outfit Hezz.
  • imagesalimoo:

    Man, I could really go for a tuna melt.

    Cali, you look fantastic! I'm going to ignore the shoes and instead continue my feverish work trying to find a cure for foot AIDS.

    Wendy, you're like a celebrity, with your perfectly-tailored clothes.

    I have never seen a bad picture of Jens.

    I'm just rambling at this point.

    Funny you should say that, because I hemmed those pants myself and they look like shiiiiit. Kevin mocks my mad sewing skillz 

  • Also, Vicki, I was totally nervous and awkward on my first date with Kevin and we'd been friends for a decade. I thought we'd never get up the nerve to kiss. Good lord, it's not like I'd never done it before, but anyway, I get it too.

    Holla.

    I too have never really been on a date. And now people TEXT before they go out. Which is easier, but then the thought of seeing a person in live human form means both talking and looking at each other is kind of new, so it's even more intimidating.

    The whole thing freaks me rightthefuckout!

  • listen guys, i'm going to have to politely insist that the circle jerk compliments train keeps on chugging, at least for a while. for me, anyway, participating in an OOTD makes me feel a little exposed and vulnerable, like a newborn moose wobbling around on my ridiculous new legs. the positive reinforcement is VERY motivating!

    You are a grown woman over 30, you should be waxing your upper lip!

    If there's even a touch of fuzz, you must buzz.

    (well not buzz, but it rhymes better)

    My Jens boner is well documented. I feel creepy if I point it out every time something "comes up."

    Buddha, why are you so skinny and cute? I LOVE that scarf. I have been dying to get an infinity (tube?) scarf in a pretty pattern.

    Stop it, you. I cheated and tied the ends of a regular scarf together. Most of my infinity scarves are too heavy.

  • imagewingedbride:

    I could never wear Buddha's shoes

    Apparently, neither can Buddha. I just tripped and fell and skinned my knee. Woah is me.

    I'm glad I'm not the only dork who does this.  Brett noticed the other day and made fun of me.

    It makes them lay better!

  • I'm wearing real clothes today!  But I wanted to comment on everyone else's too...Claire wins, but I would wear everything that Shamwow and Katie are wearing. I like Hezz's boots. I like Buddha's jeans.

    Winger, you look cute!  Also, I found an OB in SA who is willing to take me if I see her when we come down in May.

    I swear I did not have a belly two days ago.

  • Ok so here's my outfit. I rarely wear pink but was feelin' it today.  :) I think I need a haircut, it's getting a bit too scraggly.

    P.S. don't ask my why the full length mirror is INSIDE the stall in the bathroom at work. Kinda awkward when peeing. lol

    Min so sad I can only see the top part of this picture. Does that happen to anyone else where pictures only half load? 

    Yay for finding a new ob though!! 

    ETA: why does my phone autocorrect I'm to min? Nobody starts sentences with min! 

  • Thanks guys!  And thanks for not commenting on my open fly.  I hate this Beband thing.
