Coffeeshops and conundrums

Last night The Founder worked late, while I was fraternizing at the gym... and he still stopped by the store to get food to cook dinner for us, while it was my job to get the movie and it took me longer to do that than it took him to get the food! (I got a phone call, then I couldn't find the movie, then Blockbuster couldn't find my name...) See what I mean about feeling like I contribute nothing to the relationship?

Nonetheless, he keeps on wanting to spend time with me, which continues to surprise me. And I'm starting to like it! Tonight we both have work to do (I have homework, ahem), so we're going to go to a coffeeshop--part of my research for an upcoming article in the mag--with wifi and do our work. SO cute! (Gagaciously cute)

Am I the only person who thinks Coffeeshop is one word? Spell check keeps redlining me for not putting a space between, but I think if I do it just because a shop of coffee, not a veritable hangout! Maybe that's just me.

So Mr. Everything and I are corresponding about our parties and it turns out he's playing in the same 3-on-3 bball tourney I am this weekend, which is why he won't throw his party on Friday night and come to mine on Saturday. Understandable. We're going to beat his team though--my team is shaping up quite nicely, and we're even practicing tomorrow.

Of course, if it comes down to it and I have to reintroduce Mr. Everything and The Founder, do I drop the boyfriend bomb? It's not how I introduced him the first time around, so why would I do it this time? At the same time though, I don't want to lead Mr. Everything on... argh. Quite the conundrum. This is why you don't label people! And despite my telling The Founder that I now call him my boyfriend, I haven't since. Ironic.

Since when did I lose my ability to type a title into the Title box? Anyway, the title was going to be "maybe we'll just skip over the beach" because, well, I don't feel good, have drainage in my throat, and it is a result of the tiredness stemming from the damn beach, and then the hanging out with The Founder.

I think The Founder is pretty into me. He came to my volleyball game, came with my team to a bar afterward, then we went and played one on one basketball... now, I played college basketball and have continued to play since--I'm no slouch. He may be taller than me, but I am probably better. I was up for most of the game when I suddenly remembered that beating a guy at basketball has never had positive consequences for me. So I stopped trying as hard, and what do you know? He won--but barely. Purists might say that I am a wimp, and I HATE it when guys don't play their hardest against me. But the male ego is too fragile a thing to let a basketball game hinder...

...which means big things, people. Former college basketball players are not generally in the habit of letting people beat them...

To top it off, we came home and made dinner together (um, my fridge is a total bachelor fridge, so dinner was a salad and frozen veggies dumped in a pan)... super cute.

But I'm so not ready to be dating again... I don't have enough time for myself when there is someone else in my life!
