The When Harry Met Sally Theory

Ok.

So I'm sharing my adventure with him. I'm bound to feel a connection. I'm not attracted to him but I wonder if we'd ever get together.

Is this all because of the 80s film When Harry Met Sally?

Is this all because they've put it into my mind that every friendship with a guy is doomed to being more when I wouldn't necessarily want it? Does that mean it's back fired?

Watch this space.

Aussie guy and Scot guy oh and Travelling Partner.

Ok, the title does make me sounds like I get around but...

One thing I want to say is never ever make the mistake I did. Use a Condom. And don't worry Kay I'm fine I just had a worry. But no one should ever have to worry. Stupid Douche guys!

So I texted Aussie Guy apologising and stuff then he asked me out but I'm busy so he thought I was blowing him off so meh... this one's not a keeper. My mum will be glad since migration to Australia is not on her fav things for me to do.

Ok. So I met a Scottish guy, he lent me his hoodie and we spent the whole night debating politics, law and ethical issues. It was the most awesome thing ever, we had an amazing intellectual connection but... I'm not attracted to him. I admire his intelligence but I'm not attracted to him.

Oh and my travelling partner, my family thinks I'm "with" him, his family thinks he's "with" me... but I'm not attracted to him and he's not attracted to me. Question though: Can a guy and girl just be friends? Watch this space. I've got about 5 months to figure this one out.

I miss Kay,

Cat

Recap on the guys

ok, I just read my last entry and I really didn't tell anyone what happened next.

So.. THE guy found out that I liked him. Not that I wasn't being blatently obvious, anyway he was alright with it and we are now just mates. But watch this space. I totally believe in the "When Harry Met Sally" theory.

So if you hadn't guessed The Boss is the guy that keeps flirting with me. He's now the ex boss and keeps giving me compliments, this makes me feel guilty for publishing this on the ether but still it's entertaining to read.

So he keeps calling me cute, told him I didn't like it and he said that he just means it in the way that I'm attractive but innocent.

That's what he thinks!!!

Oh and Guy 1 (the guy who says he'll miss me) was annoyed at me for not saying goodbye. This made me feel awkward since yet again... no atraction.

So the update is is that I still haven't found a man. I still haven't found a man who's not wimpy.

Well except the Aussie guy. :)

Australian Guys

Ok, so I admit. I'm a week into Australia and I've already made out with a guy at a bar.

Firstly, he was Australian and the accent is just gorgeous.

Secondly, he was a typical bad boy.

Thirdly, he was buying my drinks.

Does this mean that I'm easy to get? Does this mean that I am a sucker? Does this just mean that I'm having fun?

And to put the record straight. I didn't let him in my pants, and I did leave unexpectedly.

Does this make me a whore?

You think that's bad??

I am not attracted to this guy in the slightest and find him a tad creepy- is it mean to talk to someone because they compliment you?

Does this make me a pricktease?

Cute

Ok. I have one more guy to introduce to you. His name is "The Boss" and as you can tell he is indeed my manager, and boss. Why is it that as soon as you are leaving guys are all over you? I mean this guy is the guy who interviewed me, employed me and tells me what to do at work. He is the one who stood on the line. (I think that's the right phrase). So anyway, I was going out on my leavers thing and it'd got to the stage where there were roughly 5 guys and 2 girls. I was drunk, he was drunk, usual things didn't occur since THE guy was there. But after I'd gotten to sleep The Boss text flirted with me and I reciprocated since I have a flirty nature, meaning it to be harmless. However ever since he's taken extra interest in me and has given me the BOMB of calling me.... CUTE!!!

Cute has always been my description and I hate it. Cute is a flower, cute is a baby, cute is a bunny rabbit. Therefore Cute is not a girl who's feminist and actually has a back bone.

I asked THE guy if he thought I was cute and he said no. He agreed that quirky is a better description. This is why he's THE guy rather than The Boss.

Oh and guy 1 was there, he disappeared through most of the night and then suddenly turned up in the end wanting a lift home from THE guy and wanting me to sit on his lap!

How demeaning!

Anyway, I've decided that in Australia I will have to live down this stereotype as much as I can since I really don't want to be "cute" for much longer.

Update on status of guys.

Ok, so this guy I confuses me the most. He is the guy that I simply said hello to and then ended up having a request for a date. Well.. I have news.

I am seeing this guy on monday. I am going to see the guy in person. The one that only needs an introduction to be hooked. I will therefore question him, subtly of course.

Just watch this space.

Anyway, guy 1 keeps saying he very much is going to miss me. And asked me how he is to prove it. Wanted to avoid embarrassment I simply said he should have to. This makes life interesting. I mean I see him at work but I never say anything more than I do with other men. He simply likes what I say. Very interesting. Apparently I make him think, Apparently this is a good thing and apparently this is a reason to miss someone who you don't even see but someone you would keep in contact with the same way you've maintained for only about a week. Well, apparently. He likes me enough to go out of his way to see me at work tomorrow even though we are on opposite sides of the work place, literally. Weird, this is kind of empowering.

Ok, so as a principal women can make up their minds, well this is a quick way of explaining guy 3 the one who's supposed to be the one who's genuine. Well, genuine doesn't kick you in the ass and say I'm bored give me entertainment, genuine should be I will miss you. Shame the guys are mixed up. Isn't this a punch line in a joke?

So keep watching this space girls and you find out whether guys are meant to be questioned.

Anyway since there's been an absence of Kay for a while I would like to update you on her status as well. She is going to embark on an adventure of her own on monday hers involving a new job, home and hopefully new men due to the women to men ratio in her chosen path. I wish her all the good luck and don't worry she will be keeping you updated personally as well. Just give her time to settle in!

Much Love,

Cat

Cat returns. Topic: Flirting

Okay, As usual I was totally oblivious to the drama that I caused. I apologise. I didn't block anyone facebook stopped working and I do indeed have a potential other man. However, I will come to that later.

So the topic today I have chosen due to recent events is flirting. Due to this experiment I have tried to calculate the perfect way to flirt.

Things I have tried:

1. The hard to get

2. Teasing

3. Blatantly obvious.

I have three guys that believe they have a chance with me. (This is the persona of Cat talking not my genuine characteristics, I'm nicer than that) Anyway, the one that's worked the most is the Teasing approach. I have joked my way into a guy confusingly texting me asking if I was flirting. This has gotten to a new extreme in technology where teasing on facebook chat has caused a text asking the nature of the facebook chat. U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-E-A-B-L-E!!!

If you have ever seen He's Just Not That Into You you will realise that we can indeed be dumped on 5 different technologies but ladies... we can also flirt on them!

So anyway, back to point one: teasing worked the most. I joked my arse off and managed to get a questionable answer.

However, guy 2(blatantly obvious): this involved one brief greeting then a sucession of text conversations. I am shocked about this guy. I met him through a friend at a bar, this is not an unusual thing I know but wait.. all I said was hello and my name and that I will go see where my other friends are Kay being one of them. After this he asked the shared friend about me and in her excitement she gave me his number. that's it. One greeting. No Flirting no nothing. Just my genuine friendliness. U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-E-A-B-L-E!!!

So the text conversations ensued. This meant a friendly text in the morning for so far 3 consecutive days and also texts as soon as I'd finished work. I will admit that I am not used to this is in the slightest and on occasion I have been the one to text people first. One too many occasion. So not only does he like me from a few seconds brief encounter but enough to create a morning and evening of him. U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-E-A-B-L-E. However, a date was arranged of sorts and no reply text. Befuddled am I. Anyway, more on guy 2 later just watch this space...

So the third guy... This is the guy that I like. The genuine deal. The one who I actually am sort of seeing. He is the one that I have changed my status for. This is the tricky story. This is the story of being the reliablity. I know I have used a succession of short sentences however this is to exaggerate the need I have for Tension and simplicity on the complication that is the third guy.

Anyway, he's the guy that is everything but nothing. He is the guy that I don't have. Basically I changed my status on a hope and a wish that he will see that being friends with me is not cool.

But however it's not to be.

This is the one I am mourning for.

Yet, Kay will maintain only being a sis on facebook since the lesbian jokes have stopped. for a brief period anyway.

Love you guys muchly,

Cat
