Playing With Matches

What started as a means of chronicling the online dating experiences of two picky yet adventurous almost thirty somethings has turned into a chronicle of all that is, was and has made up their collective dating histories. Our two original daters are now joined by several other fun, breezy, sassy gals, and Playing With Matches is now a missive on dating misadventures, a cacophony of ups and downs, turmoil and bliss. With a bit of snark mixed in here and there.

Tick, tick, tick.

Another great weekend with EE. Excellent.

I decided a while ago that EE and I are in a strange phase of our relationship right now. I know concretely that we are seeing each other exclusively. We see each other multiple times per week. I'm very happy with where we are. But, of course, the question still remains...where are we going? And, despite the hours spent together this weekend, I couldn't bring myself to ask or inquire. Again, how does one bring such a thing into a conversation?

In reflecting on the weekend, as I watch the marathon of my favorite t.v. show of all time which my dear TIVO recorded in my absence, I realize that there were a few moments this weekend when I fell a little further. I'm still fighting it. I can feel myself resisting. Because, LBH, it's too scary to fall when you don't have a clue as to whether the other party is falling, too. Thus, I resist.

But, when he holds you close and rubs your back in the morning...or when he's itemizing lists of his favorite moments of the weekend...or when you realize how very much like your father he is...well, it gets a little bit harder.

And the deadline keeps getting closer.

my mom always tells me to just have fun. don't analyze.

ha.

i think it's the age. i never worried when i was younger "what we are" now it's kind of a time management thing. i've wasted and seen too many friends waste time on things that had no chance of going anywhere because of the other party.

it sucks especailly when you are nothing but exclusive. i totally need the dtr at that point. when you can still date and play around with others it's much easier to be breezy.
