It's been an interesting weekend so far. Friday was the "date" (more on that later), and then Saturday I went to see the college a capella group perform on Main Street. That was interesting, but the sound engineering absolutely sucked. That was unfortunate because the a capella group actually seemed like it had some talent. Oh well. It was interesting to watch. After that my roommate and I went to see Blues Traveler with a bunch of our friends. That was pretty cool. It was the first "big" concert I've been too - there were like 700 people or so. Blues Traveler was pretty cool, but I liked the opening band much better - Robert Randolph and the Family Band. The bassist for them was really really good. He played a funk style mostly, and was very good at it. He reminded me of Victor Wooten (who I also saw in concert) in some ways, but wasn't quite as good. After that I went up to one of the dorms to visit a friend, and then went to one of the frats, who had just finished the pledging process. That was ok, but rather exhausting. Overall it was an interesting night. Today I was supposed to be at a track meet, but the bus left at 7:15 (which would mean I needed to get up around 6), and I got back at 2. So I didn't wake up in time and consequently missed the bus. We'll see what my coaches say on Monday.
So onto the date - it was a wonderful time, with a wonderful girl, and that's about it. I took her tanning first, then we went to dinner, and then to see "American Dreamz," which is a pretty good movie. It was a fairly relaxing time, and very fun. The only bad thing was the mis-communication I had with my ex about what time the car needed to be back (see previous entry). The girl, call her Jen, is quite a character. We had some good conversations, but I realized something that really disheartened me - we really have nothing in common. There are a few common interests, but that's about it. She's an art major, and will be transferring next year to another college. She's been accepted to the opposing school that is in the same town as the one we're at now, but her parents are really opposed to that. They want her to be closer to home. This means that even if she and I start a relationship, as unlikely as that may be, it won't work out. There are like 3 weeks of school left, and then summer break and she lives at least 4 hours away from me. That would be rough. Also there's the fact that I think she just considers me a friend. She has called me cute on numerous occasions, but I really am not good at detecting sarcasm on stuff like that, due to high school where absolutely no one was interested in me. Therefore I think that everytime someone compliments me, they are making fun of me. This is bad.
I also really don't know what I actually feel about her. I know I'm attracted to her, but do I want a relationship? Do I want a friendship with intamacy (fuck buddy)? or do I want a "one night stand"? I think its a toss up between friends with intamacy or a relationship, but I feel the need to know how Jen feels first. The reason that I get the feeling that she thinks of me more as a friend is the fact that she didn't think of the dinner and a movie as a date (the topic came up that I have only been on two dates other than that one, and her response was "This is a date?"). Also, I see her at parties and things and she kind of ignores me, but only slightly. Maybe I just read into things way too far. Overall I'm just way confused.
Oh well. Life will go on.
