The weekend upDATE.

Sorry, punny title. I couldn't help myself.

It's been proven to me yet again the complete truth of the phrase "when it rains, it pours." This past weekend was one such example.

I have not been on a date in over 2 months (I realize this is not a significantly long amount of time, but it is an obvious break in my dating life), and the all of the sudden I was asked out on 2 dates on Saturday. Who are the current interests, might you ask? One is, of course, the ever-present Samwise who asked me on the first official date in the history of our friendship, and then enter a new character in the story, The Teddy Bear. Both of these men are absolutely fantastic and I'm pretty sure I could be in love with either of them.

The Teddy Bear is a man whom I have known for over 6 months and he is one of those people that you just feel completely comfortable and open with at all times. He is just so caring and a great listener and honest to goodness one of the funniest men I have ever encountered.  And he is just like a teddy bear: big and cuddly and makes you feel good about yourself. I've never really had any interest in him, until he asked me on a date and my brain was like, "Hold on, what? Hecks yeah. Let's do this." Seriously, one of the best, most simple dates ever. We got sushi and went to an archery range. Let me repeat: WE GOT SUSHI AND WENT TO AN ARCHERY RANGE. Yeah, he's got to be my soul mate or something. This was an outrageously fun date and I didn't want it to end. I want him to ask me on another!

And then Samwise... Oh Samwise. I'm sick of him. But I love him oh so much. His infectious laugh and adorable red hair are too much for me to handle. I seriously don't know what to do about this boy. He asked me on a date to his office Christmas party. However I kind of am terrified that the reason he asked me is because his best friend wanted to ask my roommate and he figured it would just be fun if roommates went with roommates on this date. That sounds like a very negative approach to this situation, but honestly that's what it feels like: we are such good friends that he feels like it doesn't mean anything to take me on this date and he's just doing it to help out his friend.
