Its a Boy Train!

I think it has been confirmed: I don't know how to be single.
I am simply unable.
Exhibit A:

1. At the end of the semester, David and I were pretty much a couple. We acted like it, but knew things were done at the end of the semester.

2. Upon returning to Waconia, Andrew and I started hanging out immediately. Things were going well..like I thought it could go somewhere. But, as always, there was something a little off with Andrew. I don't know how to explain it, but he has always been a difficult person to open up to; therefore, having a deep relationship is next to impossible. Even after seven months of more or less being together, it has not gotten better. It erked me alot, because I felt like a REAL connection shouldn't have to be worked for that hard. The height of this feeling happened at the very end of January..coincidently, I was going to a wedding in Iowa on that last weekend. I left for the trip with the understanding with Andrew that we were not a couple. Essentially, a hall pass. I'm not saying that was my intention, but thats pretty much what it turned into.

3. So I go to Iowa. First of all, the wedding was beautiful! Afterwards, there was a dance, which was pretty much just twenty-somethings drinking. So, I got pretty intoxicated. Not smashed but comfortably drunk. There were cute guys there and as a single lady, I will never turn down an offer to dance. So I did! The dude was frickin' cute..but I felt bad. Poor Andrew was oblivious, but I had made no promise and I wanted to have a good time.

The next day, I went to talk to David. And surprisingly, it went really well. For the first time, I can honestly say that I was not tempted by him at all..there was no attraction there. So I believe my David chapter is now over.

The next night, the girls and I decide to go down to Okiboji and hit up the bars. Carla's cousin Shane goes to school in Sioux Falls so him and a friend came down to party along with a few guys from upstairs. The night was awesome. The bars were packed and we danced and drank all night long. Once again, I got drunk, but again, I was not smashed. At the beginning of the night, I was dancing with this horrible 30-something stranger, so I begged Shane' friend, Tyler to save me. From that point on, Tyler and I were having a good time together..definitely hitting it off. I get a few more drinks in me and then we move onto the next bar. At this point, I am on the smashed side of things. Definitely not thinking clearly. So one of our boys, Craig starts dancing with me. He is pretty cute and definitely a chick magnet, so I was flattered he wanted to dance. All of a sudden, he starts kissing me. Afterwards, he moves onto the next girl and I go into a mild meltdown about how I have a crush on Craig. It was sooo stupid, because I really don't like him like him. I JUST thought he was cute...but alcohol makes people stupid. Tyler was the DD so needless to say, he say and understood the whole thing. I felt bad, because I knew he was into me, but i was kissing someone else.

The night was pretty much over at that point. At the last bar, Tyler and I started dancing again and after a while, I was like "what the hell" and we started to make out. When we got home, I passed out right away and then had to leave early the next day.

The next day, I got a text from Ty. He was clearly into me, but I wasn't so sure. In lay man's terms, he's a bad boy. Like the drinking, sex having, smoking, grain elevator working bad boy. After a while, we started to talk on the phone..and now I think I am falling for him. I may be a bad boy but he is amazingly easy to talk to and perhaps one of the funniest people I know. I love to talk to him, but I am still not sure if starting things with him would be a good idea. I am hoping to being working in Sioux City soon, and he is going to move to Sioux Falls, meaning that we would only be an hour apart. Its sooo tempting, because he seems like such a good time.

So there ya go, once I cut ties with David and count out Andrew, a new guy comes along who really wants to make something of us. I promised myself that I would be single for a while because of all the shit that went down in 2010. But Tyler is a fresh start. An oppertunity to date someone and be honorable- no cheating, no flirting. Just an honest relationship. I think I'm gonna give it a try. But ONLY if I move to Sioux City.

I fear.
