"Josh"

Next: "Josh"

I met "Josh" this past weekend through friends. A few of us decided to venture into DC this past Saturday evening and one of my close friends decided to invite two fellas out with us after attending a BBQ. I wasn't really looking to meet anyone that evening, especially since I was the only girl out of 8 guys (I seriously need some more single lady friends, going out with guys is fun, but totally cramping my single-lady style). My friend showed up with the fresh bait and I honestly didn't think anything of it. This little fishy wasn't hungry.

We started off at one joint and then decided to mosey down the street to another bar I had never been to; I just wanted to try something different. "Josh" and I had spoken some here and there, but it wasn't clicking with me that I might find this guy interesting; I was being oblivious. It wasn't until we were at the next place that I really started to chime in; this guy was pretty awesome. We started to chat more and more, and the more I listened, the more I found this guy pretty awesome. There were a lot of things I liked about this guy; he was really smart and on just about every topic as well. He mentioned he's a Philadelphia sports team fan, which I wasn't thrilled about, but at least he didn't like New York (sorry, I despise them). We chatted a bit about work, college, music (which I am awful at, I am so tone deaf) and just about anything you would ask when meeting someone for the first time.

Eventually, it got late in the evening. Thank goodness, because some of my friends were noticing that "Josh" and I were flirting quite a bit but they decided to throw in the towel and head home. Finally, after most of my friends had left except two, I was really feeling this guy. I really wanted to kiss him, but didn't want to make it obvious. Just when I thought two of my friends weren't looking, we both leaned in for a quick kiss. Wroooong. I'm 99.9% sure that both of my friends saw this event. I felt kind of bashful but really wanted to kiss this guy more, so I dragged him to another area of the bar/dance floor and we kissed some more there. He was a phenomenal kisser. It had been a while, and several dudes later, to finally meet a guy who knew how to kiss.

Eventually it was quitting time and we decided to head out. Earlier in the evening we discovered that "Josh" lives in the same complex as my friend, which happens to be about three blocks down from my apartment. Since we were so close, he and I decided to split a cab ride home. However, we didn't exchange numbers. I was kind of bummed because I thought we really hit it off well enough that maybe we could hang out again. The next day later, I noticed my friend and "Josh" were now Facebook friends, so I toyed with the idea of friending him also. I decided to take the plunge and ended up sending him a request, but I guess to make it less awkward/obvious, I also friended his roommate who I had met that same night, abd he was also a cool dude. Eventually a few days later, I noticed he accepted.

That's pretty much where the story stops. I'm not really eager to pursue more of "Josh" mostly because I felt as if he were really interested, we would have exchanged numbers and I would have heard from him by now. Oh well, at least I met someone out and about through friends and it was a nice change of pace. Maybe we'll run into each other again. Who knows.

For now, I'm just going to keep swimming.
