Still got it

I know it's only been 3 days, but I had a totally eventful 3 days! On Saturday, Ryan invited me to hang out, so I suggest we see a play. I wasn't sure if this was a date, cause, well, he was just like 'let's do something' and that's not exactly what I expect when someone is asking you out, but whatevs. But it was so totally a date. We drove 45 minutes to a neighboring town, ate dinner, and saw a musical. And I'm going to sound like a total dork, but OMG he held my hand and I sound like a middle schooler but it made me happy and I don't even care. I sent him home early cause he had an early church service in the morning, but I suspect we will see each other again soon!

Sunday my Mommy came to visit me and we rearranged my house. Because change is good, right? And if you're going to make one change, may as well make as many as you can all at once. Yeah, idk. it makes more sense in my mind, shut up.

So, yesterday was paintball. Sometimes it surprises people that I'm willing to crawl around in the mud and risk getting shot in the face with paint, but everyone deserves a good catharsis! I thought Cam would be there and I could shoot him a few times, but he bailed. He claimed he was sick, but idk, that sounded a little sketch.  Anyway, there were a few hotties at paintball, and since I never miss out on a good opportunity to work on my flirting game, I brought out my biggest smile. And apparently my skills were on par, cause I got 2 phone numbers last night. Boom. And now I have dinner scheduled for Thursday, and a future date at an unspecified time with the other guy (yes, I know, whatever!).

In other news, my coworker, Gianna, broke up with her bf this weekend. She's constantly in a revolving door relationship with him, so idk if it will last, but in the meantime it's great to have someone who can totally relate. So we can sit and gossip about boys together and I love it.

BTW, Jessalyn's new boy toy also broke up with her. So I can see this dynamic duo getting into some sweet, sweet trouble in the near future!

Step 1

I totally jumped back into the world of dating. And you know what? I love it like crazy! It feels like I'm back in college which I totally loved and idk why I've been so nervous!! But yeah, story time!

Ok, so I usually post about everyone else, and I'll dish a little, but today's stories are mostly about me, because I'm in a special place right now and I want to.

So, last week, I, Chloe, got on Tinder. Something I was like, adamantly opposed to. I'm not so totally into the hookup culture... at least in theory. But I was lonely! And pitiful! And not very Chloe. And I wanted people to text. I'm a texting fiend and without Cameron there, it was like every work day was 30 hours long. And I think maybe my coworkers were getting tired of me stopping by their cubes every 30 minutes. So something had to give, and why not my standards, right?

And I was totally prepped for all these creepers to appear and have to unmatch constantly. And it's so not what happened! I very specifically put in my profile I was looking for texting buddies only. I mean, let them weed me out rather than vice versa. But these guys who responded? Nice guys! I mean, I got the creepers too. But only like 3 out of 20, I consider that a success.

And now I'm talking to 4 very nice guys. And I'm not so bored! So, yay! I may even try to meet one or two later this week. Because you have to push forward with life, amirite?

Also, yesterday I went out to a nice little happy hour with 2 of my church ladies, and our old music director, Ryan. Ryan and I have been friends for a while and always a little flirty... lots of texting back and forth, but never anything deep, whatevs. But yeah, I've had a thing for him for a few months.  Anyways, we all got done eating and drinking, the night was still young, so I invited Ryan back to my place for a nightcap, and he came! We drank and played my oldschool Nintendo for a while, then he suggested we put on a movie. So we picked something incredibly stupid and cuddled up on the couch. And I just said screw it and started kissing him, and got some great feedback... we both had some aggression to get out, and we had some fun releasing it! Needless to say, he was there til about 4am. Not a bad way to get over a breakup! I haven't figured him out yet though, so I'm not sure where this is headed, but I'm down for FWB in the meantime.

Monday is paintball day, I can't wait to cause a few bruises (and get a few of my own!).

I suck

You guys, I totally suck, I know it.  I'll do better, promises.

It's just that like life kind of calmed down. People started growing up. I didn't get to hear all the drama and where is the fun with that?

But don't worry, I'm back, and things are starting to get juicy again.

So, biggest news, Cameron and I broke up. Last night. It was totally the worst, because I really do love the guy and he is a total sweetheart and a good person. But we don't share the same views on a LOT of the major issues right now, and it led to a lot of fights, and would lead to a lot of future problems and I don't even want to think about what would happen when i had bebes. I mean, i'm totes cool with a good compromise, but Cam's more stubborn than I am. so yeah. Time to jump into dating again, which I'm kind of excited about.

I'm about to meet Aria for dinner, because that's what BFFs do when you are hurting... they make you eat ridiculous amounts of Chinese food and wine while having a bitch fest and encouraging you to hit on the hot server.
