My guy from Alaska

You know him as Alaska. We met almost a month ago... finally spent some quality time together.... He's cute!

He texted me on Friday night (just like he did last friday, too).... "we went to the bar and you were'nt there..."

I wasn't planning on going out friday, but REBA'S BACK. She also called me from the bar to come join her. She's been in New York for a month and this was her first night back... So, I got up and started getting ready for a fun night of karaoke.

So, i texted Alaska back... you should come back to the bar, i'll be there in a few. Yes, Alaska was one of the six guys I sent a drunk text to on Wednesday... "you have a really cute butt." LOL

At first he wasn't going to since he and his friends already left to go some place else... But at about 11 pm he called me. He said he was coming back.. just him without all his friends. Was that still okay since i was going to be meeting my friends, he asked. Yes, i told him. :-)

He showed up with his brother.... they are a crazy bunch. I mingled with many of my friends that i haven't seen in a while... then hung out with Alaska and his brother. Sooo much fun. His brother looks almost exactly like the guy from Scrubs. So much, that i felt like i was in an episode of Scrubs.

So he tells me what he thought when he got my text at 1 am on Wednesday. He said it woke him up. He thought, what it's a wednesday night!?... His brother said, and then he woke me up to show me the message... then they went back to sleep. I apologized (kinda) and didn't tell him how i sent that same message to 5 other guys, too.. If it's any consolation, i sent it to him FIRST. LOL... Reba said, yea when loony and i get together we sent all kinds of drunk texts. LOL....

We also talked about the first night we met... I kept staring at his table but he thought i was looking at his friend Shorty. He said they were trying to set him up that night.... (there were 5 of them that night). So another friend came up to me saying, my friend Shorty is checking you out. and I said, I'm interested in your other friend. So this guy goes back to his pals and says.. Shorty, she wasn't checking you out.... Alaska said he was even mad... til he found out I was interested in HIM!!! His brother said, see you always meet someone when you're not trying...LOL.... and i made a mental note... (so Alaska said, he MET someone....)

Blah blah... it was a lot funnier when i was there... I had a great time with Alaska and his brother. So, I went back to their place afterwards. Me and a friend went to hang out. Turns out they have the old old Nintendo and we played Super Mario Bros 3. I haven't played that game in 10 years but it all came back to me while playing. So much fun!!!

And Alaska was very respectful... he wanted to hang out outside of the bar, but didn't want me to feel uncomfortable. He didn't even make a move... We just snuggled on his couch while playing and he fell asleep snuggled next to me. Then I went home.

So, should I wait to see if he calls. or call him so he know I'm interested... or send a friendly text about "we should do it again some time...." or some other reference to Super Mario Bro 3.... like how we couldn't beat this one level on world 3. One half of my brain says I should wait patiently til he calls or texts me... but another side of me thinks i should let him know i'm interested.. because i hate waiting.. LOL.... anyway, i had a great time.

I just wrote a fun message about drunk texting because when it happened to me I thought of you!! Hope you don't mind!!

Anyway,
"One half of my brain says I should wait patiently til he calls or texts me... but another side of me thinks i should let him know i'm interested.. because i hate waiting.."

Patience is my vote.

Do you want one who really wants to date you, finds you hot and treats you like gold? Or do you want one you constantly have to pursue who ends up disappointing you?

Your value increases as they have to work to plan and ask you out.

I know that patience is the much harder choice!! But you can do it!! Keep us posted......
