Oh what a nice little tea party we have here

Yup sitting around messing around on the interweb, writing some ads and drinking scotch while my roommates and their boyfriends enjoy a nuclear dinner. Not that I'm bitter... just a quandary regarding my latest girl du jour. So I raised my standards of what I'm looking for in a girl and, as Erin pointed out, with that comes a smaller dating pool and more competition.

Had lunch again today with "Summer" and it went really well. The thing is that afterwards I was talking to a co-worker (also a single guy on the "make") who happens to know her. He mentioned that he knows that a lot of other guys at work are interested in her. I guess in such a large company there have to be the "hot girls". But the thing is those guys he knows to be really shady and are courting quite a few other girls. I guess I don't want to be lumped in with those guys, because 1) they are really sleazy 2) I have a feeling that girls can see through that and 3) I'm so much better than them. Come on now, wearing a tight t-shirt and having washboard abs is a lot easier than making a girl laugh at a pirate joke.

I'm totally hitting on all cylinders regarding wit and humor, but I'm wondering if I'm out of her league. I'm pretty easy on the eyes, but I'm sure hot girls look at guys differently. I definitely think that a non-cafeteria date is in order to see where I stand. My advantage over the office-dunderheads is being sincere.

Oh and the kicker was that the ATM was broken so I ended up buying her lunch...
