Coconut Cream Pie

I just got home from a date. A blind date. The girl who cuts my hair decided to set me up with a guy whose hair she also cuts. He is a nice guy. We went to the Museum of Art on campus and wandered around looking at paintings and artwork, I don't think he was really all that interested in the actual art though which is okay. I could have gone off about the different pieces if he wanted me to, but no questions were asked. Afterwards, we went for dessert, I ordered a slice of coconut cream pie, one that I don't normally order but I figured I should try something new. We had the normal first date type conversations.

I've been set up on a few blind dates by friends, co-workers, and acquaintances in the last few years. I appreciate their thoughts but I usually question their thought process as to why they want to set me up with a particular person. I have found a similar characteristic with just about all of the guys that I have been set up with and every time that I find that this is the reason for the set up, I am not usually very happy or ecstatic about the date. People, personality is not based on height. Just because I am short does not mean that I should be set up with someone because they are short as well. If you want to have me go out with a friend of yours, please make sure you are wanting to set us up because our personalities would go well with each other and not just because of our height.

Now, I do appreciate the thoughts and going out every once in awhile is nice to meet new people and to just get out so thank you.

I've also figured out a little bit more about myself and dating. I like to listen, I feel comfortable in silence, I also like to talk about just about anything, but I feel weird if I'm the only one talking. I feel weird typing all of this out, but it's something I've been thinking about lately so why not? I'm very easy going so I go along with just about anything. If I'm not saying anything, I think it worries people, I've been trying lately to not be so quiet, I'm doing well, but then I deal with the opposite problem in I feel like I'm talking too much.

Ok, that's enough random info about me.
