On Friday I received the disappointing news that TT1 is engaged. Yes, the proud and generous beholder of a 100 mega-watt smile is scheduled to be betrothed to another woman. As happy as I am for her, I'm just a little sad that my daydream thoughts about me having a chance with him will now have to ve curbed.
On the other hand, this does solve my dilemma cocerning which Tower I should consider for my April dating goal (still not attained...). Best wishes to the soon-to-be bride and groom.

The truth of the matter
I've noticed one thing about the way women and men greet each other based on my recent experience at a local church.
Because of my postion, I am required to greet people when they walk by. What I've noticed is that men are more likely to make eye contact and smile more than women.
Week after week, this happens so I'm deciding that my new reasoning for terrible female relationships that we aren't friendly enough to each other. I'd have to do some more in-depth research as to why we aren't initially friendly to each other but I do wish that would change... And soon! Until then I will still be here greeting everyone.

Once again, the man needs a ring
Why is it that women have to wear a ring to indicate that she's scheduled to be betrothed, but men don't?
As the recipient of some unfavorable news about one of the twin towers-- TT1-- to be exact, I'm thinking of starting the campaign for men to wear engagement rings.
Simply through casual conversation I've managed to find out that TT2 lives with his brother and that he's moving to a new home and that if he does have kids, he plans to raise them in his native country... I also know he's going to Vegas next week for work but whether or not he is also engaged is a mystery.
I know that they are merely a distraction to keep my mind occupied and they probably think I'm weirder than all get out because I don't talk to anyone when I'm working out, but I'm extra friendly when I sit at my desk.
Either way it goes. If anyone had a chance of the people who do come through here and flirt, TT2 is the only one left, but even his future looks slim.
Hoping I have my final harassment of the day in a few minutes and that it won't last long because I've used all my patience and smiles for the week.

The only downside
The only negative aspect about TT2 is that he reminds me a LOT of my ex. And I mean A LOT!!!
They both have the same ethnic background and actually look a little similar in terms of build. Granted TT2 smiles a lot more and seems to have better people skills, but there are just some things you can't overlook that are eerily familiar.
The whole thing makes me question whether I'd even be interested in going out with him or even more realistic, if I had a chance... And while that almost sounds silly, I know it's a big ego thing but I just wish I had a realistic chance with everyone to whom I'm attracted.
Because of seeing TT2 almost everyday I've also begun to miss the ex a lot more. Now, we still have a good friendship and we do long-distance friendship well but whenever we get together it's like the force of attraction between us is so strong, it's really hard to resist and then we have to spend months repairing our friendship and getting over the hurt we caused each other all over again.
Further solidifying my downfall is that I've agreed to meet him for dinner tomorrow. We'll see if yet another Thursday date falls through. I told him if he cancelled on me I'd be very upset. He said he wouldn't. I say: we'll see... Lord, please, please help!!

Getting Warmer
So in my imagination things are starting to heat up with TT2 (Twin Tower #2)...
On Monday as I entered the building he and TT1 were exiting and he asked if I had his magazine. I told him yes, I did and asked if he wanted and he said he needed a little more time so he wanted me to hold on to it.
Today, I unfortunately ran out of my Elle magazines so I was left with the latest edition of Houston Magazine I picked up at a newsstand. When he saw that I was reading the Men's Style Issue he said he really might need to borrow that magazine.
While he was working out, I was able to glance at the receipt that was written out to him and see how his name was spelled. I figured if he was the true athlete he said he was, I'd be able to find him for sure on the internet. So I memorized the spelling of his name and wrote it down in the tiniest print possible on a pre-used sheet in my notebook.
Later as the TTs exited, I was trapped in a conversation with a less than desirable conversation partner so I took the opportunity to alert TT2 that he only had two weeks to get caught up on his reading before I left. It was only then that he realized I did not work for the church and I had to explain to him what I was doing there. As it turns out, he can actually put me to work because he does need to complete the information that we are requesting so I gave him a form. I told him if he needed help, that's what I was there for. He asked if I would be there tomorrow because he would need help, and I of course politely told him yes, with a smile. Let's hope tomorrow is a good day. I'm going to bed "early" so I can look good.

A start...
Last week one of the cuties of the duo I call "The Twin Towers" finally took a step to actually trying to have a conversation with me. He asked what magazine I was reading and then when I held up my copy of Elle, he joked that he reads the magazine too. Thankfully I was up for the challenge because I quickly retorted that he must like the articles as well and we laughed some more.
That same afternoon I was able to work out at the same time as he and the other tower and I saw with my own eyes just how buff (do people still say that??) or how in shape he really is. And I can honestly just say: MMMMMMAAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!
Yeah, just the memory of it sends me back. So that put another check mark in his category.
On the way out, he told me he wanted to catch up on his reading so I told him I'd hold on to the magazine until he was ready.
Not a complete knockdown dragout attempt at flirting but a small and appreciated step....

April's looking slim
So it's only seven days in but April is looking like I have slim pickings on trying to meet this April dating goal. Apparently, my date last week was an April Fool's joke because the date didn't happen and still has not happened.
I've decided to give up on it and if the guy does want to resurface, I'll let him. Otherwise...well I'm hoping something will come soon... *sigh* back to the drawing board.
In related news: despite saying that he wouldn't give up, March Date aka Mr. Recreational Pharmaceuticals has never called again- I'm very happy and thankful to God for that.
