just from the first date, we seem to have totally different personalities. It's weird. Not a lot in common. But, that's just the impression i got, so we shall see.

Sounds like it went okay. Ask her out a second time and see how it goes.

Alco, you have to appreciate the guts this girl has: 1) she made the first move, 2) she gave you her number, 3) shes trying to put up a good image so that you dont think she sucks. Couple that with your 'meh we'll see,' and you can appreciate the nerves that she has. So of course shes not going to be all chill cuz shes wondering if you think shes gross or whatever.

Man up and take some charge here. I guarantee she'll feel more at ease once she sees youre responding. Either that, or start dating guys.

Good call, Manny.

It's pretty rare when the first date flows smoothly. And, in this case, neither one of you even knew if you both considered it a date or if the other one wanted it to be a date. It's not easy to relax under that kinda pressure.

Cut the girl some slack! She was nervous. Ask her out again and if it's just meh again, at least you tried.

i texted her this morning and said that i had a good time, and we should do it again sometime, and no answer. So, yea....

So, i'm thinking i should see if she responds to that or whatever, and if she doesn't just leave it at that. I don't want to seem desprate or whatever by saying that and then calling her again....

Plus, i did call her initially before the date b/c i think texting is kinda gay, but she was apparently at work and didn't have voicemail on her phone.

I mean she's a cute girl, and i would go out with her again a few more times to see if it improves, but i don't want to keep saying we should if she doesn't want to really either? I don't think she's gross or anything like that. haha. See what i mean?

Of course, she could be sitting there doing the same thing i am, so who knows.

agree?


man, i'm starting to sound like matthew here. hahahahahhaahah!!!!!!

5-13-08:

Really good workout today! I worked 7:30-1:30 after closing last night, so needless to say i was exhausted, and hadn't eaten much today. so my pre workout drink consisted of:

Starbucks 4 shots of espresso+vanilla over ice+ energy packet (this stuff is "A blend of B vitamins, guarana, and ginseng for added energy." but i believe it also contains taurine and some of the other stuff that's in monster energy drinks)

So...

Power Jerks w/ straight bar:
155x1
166x1 (this flew up FAST!)
177x1 (5lb pr)

182xmx2 (just not getting enough leg drive on this)
155x3

Front Squats:
155x3
166x1
171x5 (big rep pr!)


Pushdowns: 3 sets
DB Power Cleans: 2 sets

1 Arm DB Rows:
90x8
95x8
100x8

very good workout. I'm getting more confident in my press, and my form is getting better for the jerks. My triceps and legs are getting stronger. I made the mistake of not doing front squats the past few weeks. I noticed when i was doing them, my press and trap bar pull was moving up as well. When i added them back in, SURPRISE my jerk starts moving again.

I can't wait to go to Chad's in a few weeks and jerk the 10" log finally!
