Soup and Salad… and boy talk

I have been really good with my meals this week (except for that pizza slip on Monday night). I’ve had breakfast every day, and I have had soup and salad for lunch (yay).

Enrique told me to try to get some chicken with my salad so I have enough protein to keep me going through the day. I’ll follow that advice next time. He also suggested fish a couple of times a week. That’s going to be harder to stick to, but I’ll keep it in mind.

I had lunch with a good guy I know from school, whom we’ll call Feivel. He’s one of those guys whom I can talk to with no effort. He’s funny and keeps a conversation going without monopolizing it or talking too much about himself. He’s so sweet, nice and responsible. I could totally see the "me" from 10 years ago being willing to go out with him back then, so I must think he’s a catch. Then why doesn’t he have a girlfriend? I will try to invite him to more mingling opportunities in my circle. Heaven knows I have enough single friends for him to meet. The question is why won’t my friends see in him what I see? (they’ve met once before)

I have a theory that girls don’t like to be fixed up with your/my single guy friends for the same reason people shy away from buying a house that has been in the market for 120 days: "if nobody has snatched it by now there must be something wrong with it."

May I say that my house had been in the market for 90 days before we put an offer in, and it ended up being absolute perfection. In the same way that not all that glitters is gold, not all that’s dusty is trash.

Oh well, their loss.
