Life's a beach

I met this guy on facebook who I knew had a few common friends with me, but long story short, we really didn't know each other.  We talked for a while and exchanged numbers.  One night when I was out at the movies with a different guy, I received a text inviting me to a place in a different town where him and his friends hung out every week.  When the movie was over, and the coast was clear, I texted back saying I would come.  Sometimes I can be a fearless woman and just go for what I want.  But, of course, I called my friend and alerted her of where I would be!

I met up with the guy, and we really hit it off.  He asked me out for dinner for the next night and everything.  We hung out practically every weekend and were having loads of awkward fun.  We finally planned a beach day, which was much anticipated by me because I had never been to this beach, but also because I'm not in tip top bikini shape...so I was stressing quite a bit.  Oh by the way, this guy's job was about being physically fit. Ut oh.

When we got there the awkwardness, but niceness continued, even after I revealed my not-so-beach body.  There was something missing still though...He was quiet, wasn't having fun in the water and was sleeping in the sun.

Finally we watched these birds attack these boys' chips that they left behind while they went to go splash in the water.  The birds were feasting on this delicacy.  It was really funny actually...even the guy I was with recorded them tearing apart this bag and fighting each other on his phone.  By the time the boys returned, there wasn't a crumb left...not even the bag was left.  To break the awkwardness I decided to continue the joke and annotate what the boys must be saying to each other in regards to their missing snack.  I also said how it would be funny if the birds flew by one last time and just dropped the bag off for the boys.  C'mon...how is it not funny to think of a bird flying through the air with a big Mondo chip bag in mouth, then strategically dropping the bag off to play the boys.  Well...my guy didn't even laugh.

Later when I met up with my friends, I was telling them about how he didn't laugh at my bird joke.  That really designated with me.  I'm a funny girl, why didn't he laugh?!

Anyway, I texted him later and could sense things were WAY different.  I just guessed he didn't appreciate my muffin top... I didn't hear from him for days and didn't expect to hear from him either.

I either wasted my money for signing up for the gym 2 weeks prior to the beach, or I really needed to start using that gym membership to avoid another incident such as this. Damn, that sucks.
