... That I didn't want!!! or ask for!!
Scenario:
My mom set me up on a date. Yeah, already a bad idea right? But I figured why not try it out? I had just started dating again I wasn't really meeting anyone new and I had met the guy once before so why not! Not like it was a blind date with my mom's co-worker's relative. Oh hindsight how I wish you were foresight.
The beginning of the night went really well. The "date" went well also. He picked me up from home. We went to this sushi place and it was yummy! They were closing so we went to Denny's for dessert. Since we were having fun we went to this other Japanese place and before we knew it, it was 2 ish?
The problem wasn't the date. Or him for that matter I guess. The problem was when I started thinking, Hey, this guys kinda awesome. We could end up being really great friends.
And there it was. He was mentally friend zoned. I don't know exactly when or where it happened but it did. I just didn't see us getting any closer than we already were at that moment. I thought he was on the same page. I mean there was no connection! I thought!
Apparently, we were on two very different pages. Maybe two different books because when he dropped me off at my door I was going in for a hug and the next thing I knew I was being kissed!
What the ef word! How did I send out the wrong signals? Was I being too friendly? Did I not lean away far enough? I GUESS NOT!!!
The moments that followed were awkward. The kiss was a peck but it was enough to make the next words he uttered cause me to shy farther away from him in reluctance to say "Not anytime soon".
"Well I had fun, when can we do this again?"
Goodness never I hope.
The kiss at least. I would have been okay with us hanging out again as friends. He was a great guy. Just not great to be my guy?!?! I don't know I just didn't feel the chemistry.
Why do I consider this a fail? I failed at properly displaying that I didn't see this relationship going any further than friendship. What was I supposed to do though?

Minor DELAY-mas: STITCHES!!!
Minor DELAY-mas: STITCHES!!!: "Okay. I've been trying to find something to say other than LMAO or LOL. Honestly, it's getting lame. Here are some reason's why. 1. No one..."
Times when I feel most Single
http://thoughtcatalog.com/2011/the-times-when-i-feel-most-single/
I haven't got through reading this yet but from what I have read, I LOVE IT!!! This guys got me in stitches agreeing to everything he's saying.
I feel most single when I'm getting ready to go somewhere and I'm dressing up really pretty. Then I realize I don't have anyone to dress up for. Seriously what am I doing? Dressing up for the hot guy who isn't noticing me? Yeah, there's more but I want to read this guys thought catalog first. ENJOY!
You know you're fail when....
Wow... I was hanging out with my gay straight friend. He's my gay straight friend because he supplies the companionship of a gay friend who is COMPLETELY platonic but he's straight. Not many people understand our relationship but if you have a gay straight friend, you know what I mean. Okay, then before that I was talking to my cousin; this is what I've learned from talking to them about my first free drink from a bartender EVER!!!! (Read about that in Social Cues)
I FAIL!
According to my gay straight friend I am one of the flirtiest girls he knows EXCEPT when it comes to guys I might actually be interested in OR might actually be interested in me.
According to my cousin, he knows how to flirt with men better than I do.
Case and point:
GSF tells me the perfect line to have said to the bartender to get a conversation going INSTEAD of running away.
"So do you give free drinks out to every girl?"
OR some sly remark similar to that. What ever so I couldn't come up with it on my own because I FREAKED OUT! I got nervous I wasn't sure?!?! It's like that Ikea commercial, when the lady thinks she's getting everything at way too good of a deal that maybe she's stealing stuff. It's not a bargain, IT'S A STEAL!! So she's running out the store calling to her husband to start the car because she thinks she's stealing. Yeah, that's how I felt! Lame but I don't have cool moves. Deep down in the cockles of my soul...

The Other Paramedic's Fail
So this time I myself did not fail. HE failed.
We were taking my gma from TCC to another facility and I was a little stressed because I didn't want my gma to leave that facility. There was also just a lot going on that day. I was at my cousins graduation. Oorah!! You're a marine cousin!!! You're amazing I love you!!!
Right so the story. I rushed what should have been a two hour drive and turned it into about an hour and a half with a little traffic. Also, I just wasn't in the happiest of places and I'm sure it was visible to the world. I tried to stay calm but so much was rushing through my mind. Like, how am i going to get to the viewing later if i just gave my cousin my car? What is this new place like and will they take care of my gma? I wonder how my stressed out mother is holding up. Just you know A LOT!
So we're in the back of the ambulance and he's asking me questions about my gma. Relevant questions. Any recent surgeries. Illnesses, allergies the like. he was trying to be kind and keep my mind occupied but I could tell he was also trying to ask me out because every so often the conversation would turn to me. Questions like so what were you doing in San Diego? What are you doing this weekend?

Minor DELAY-mas: Persephone
Minor DELAY-mas: Persephone: "This isn't done yet. I'm still working on it but I really like it and I've been dying to type it up and share it with you all!! I'm keep wor..."
The Paramedic... and the other Paramedics fail.
For the record, I was thinking mostly about my gma.
My gma had been at a transitional care center for a while and on this particular day we were headed to the main hospital to get her swallow test done, basically just a test to see if the food goes down the right tube when she swallows. There were two paramedics or EMT's I don't really know the difference, but let's assume they were paramedics, one was a female the other a male. We were all talking and keeping a regular conversation going. I was mostly concerned about my gma but we were all talking about relationships and being single; turns out she's taken but he's not. He and I start talking about being the only single people in our groups. It seemed like innocent conversation but there were flirty looks here and there, sly comments. Honestly, he was cute, truly tall dark and handsome, but I'm not the type to just say "Damn you're cute we should go out sometime". Especially when my gma is right there! I felt SUPER guilty just mildly flirting with the guy. Every so often I'd stop talking to him and talk to my gma.
OH EM GEEE!!! I forgot the best part about meeting this guy. Well its the best part for you but not for me. I was thinking there was a reason I wanted to tell this story because it was epically funny but I couldn't remember why BUT now that I do, let's backup a bit.
