Life is hectic nowadays as I have too much on my plate at work and at home. With that said, no real complaints in the females department. Got a buncha numbers over the last few weekends although only one amounted to something of substance. The rest were fake #s, girls heading back to college too soon, or my phone died and didn't save the # properly or didn't go to voicemail when they called.
Harmony
I am downstairs at Crocodile Lounge swaying on the dancefloor. I had only been this venue once previously while hanging out with Robin and her friends a few months back. Me and some friends decided to check it out as I was getting tired of the rolling dress codes based on your skin color, and the lack of compatible women at other venues.
To be honest, things weren't looking that great here initially either. Although there were a few girls dancing and drinking, none really caught my eye. However, three girls pass me and one of them catches my attention: Natural hair, skinny, cute face. All systems go on my end.
As she is walking by, I reflexively grab her wrist. She slows down considerably and checks me out and then slowly starts to walk away, but as if she doesn't want to. I tighten my grip and pull her to me and we start dancing. Just so we are clear, that move works for me very very infrequently lol.
We dance for a few songs and my d!ck is trying to burst a whole through my pants. I knew it was going good between us when her friends had gotten a drink from the bar while we were dancing, and then said something to her in passing, and disappeared. If she wasn't interested, she would have left with her friends or they would have 'saved' her.
In-between the grinding we end up talking a bit as well:
Harmony: What do you do
macallik: I work for XYZ and do ABC. What about you
Harmony: I am an OB GYN
macallik: You look at vaginas all day? That is like my dream job.
Harmony: *laughs*
To be honest, she has probably heard that joke a thousand times. Ah well, it seemed unique in the moment. Can't remember much about the convo to be honest as it happened like 3 weeks ago. Plus, the C&F is so entrenched in my day-to-day conversations that I don't even realize/remember the sh!t I say after it leaves my mouth.
So we continue to dance and talk in before she says she needs to meet up with her friends. I ask for her # and she gives me her phone and so I type in my first name and save my "Last Name" as: Super cute guy you met from the club.
I go to meet my friend and cruise the scene some more before eventually running into Harmony again. We dance some more and I am still getting a good vibe so we head outside to talk a bit more. Isolation ftw. Great thing about Wicker Park is that it is full of restaurants that have chairs and benches outside, so we find a seat next to the venue and talk for about 20 minutes before her friends decide to relocate.
We text throughout the following week and hang out the following Friday. We meet up at M Lounge for drinks and conversation. When I got there, she was sitting at the bar having a drink. I slide in on the stool next to her and we talk while drinking. No lulls in the conversation and found out a lot about her. Good stuff overall. Eventually I decide to go somewhere a little bit more uptempo so we swing over to Tantrum which is about 3 blocks north. We had another drink there, listened to the latest trap music, and bumped into imaginemypotential who couldn't get in because he wasn't dressed properly.
After this spot she was down to keep the night going. I told her we should hang out at the beach by Navy Pier (great for a nightcap downtown if you live far from the loop btw) but she misses the exit and so we end up going trying to figure out what else to do. I suggest going back to her place as an option and she decides on doing that.
We are looking at tv in her living room when she says that she is tired and there is nothing on tv so we should just turn it off. Holy open 3s Batman. I can take a hint so we relocate to her bedroom and rotate between fooling around and talking.
This past week, we texted throughout and hung out again on Friday. This time, it was just pizza and movies at her crib and I spent the night again. Still not sure where I want this to go but it is fun regardless right now. Definite quality and at the top of my list right now in terms of who I spend time with and make time for.
Mackenzie
We have hung out a few times since my last update. Basically we are kinda back to where we were but things feel different for me. I no longer view her as someone that I might eventually have an exclusive relationship with when I am ready to retire my dating jersey, it is more like she's someone I like hanging out with and for the most part get along with. It is weird because now when we hang out in public she initiates hand holding and the likes.
I am a little concerned because I will be moving soon and will likely be within a 15 min walk of Mackenzie. I plan to run amok in Hyde Park with all of the black professional females that reside there and I don't want to have any last minute drop by's involving Mackenzie or her meeting a chick I am fvcking in the neighborhood.
She is #2 on the roster now and will probably never be #1 again but is still quality.
Ella
This is the girl I work with. It is weird because everyone in the office knows she is engaged and she reinforces this in conversations she has with them, but she always ends up at my desk one way or another. We basically have lunch dates 2-3 times a week and have hung out after work once or twice as well. It had gotten to the point where we were spending more 1-on-1 time together than girls I am fvcking lol.
Sometimes it is harmless flirting when we talk, but other times, I can read between the lines and see that what is on her mind might be more than that. We joke around and I get standard responds about how big my ego is and what not like most females will say, but other times when we hang, she has been known to switch gears and go for rapport, with questions like "So what kind of girls do you like macallik? Do you like girls who are <insert character traits that she has> or do you like girls that are <insert traits she doesn't like and has told me she doesn't like>?
People have seen us taking lunches together and the fact that she is always around me. During an office drinking get-together where Ella wasn't present, a coworker cornered me and bombarded me with questions about the two of us, and how much Ella looks like she likes me. News got back to Ella, but instead of thinking that us being together would put her relationship in jeopardy, she is concerned with office politics, so we still hung out, but for a while, she would leave work ahead of me and meet me outside of the building instead of walking out together.
Ella is quality and has a traditional outlook on dating that makes her good plate material. However, having a fiancee means she isn't worth any solid investment of time at the moment. She is ideal to hang out with when I don't have plans, but I definitely wouldn't cancel any plans for her.
Dionne
This is my other coworker. She is cool to talk to, but I am not as interested in her as I was. When I was cornered by a coworker during our drinking get-together, she started asking questions to people about me and Ella hanging out but nothing too serious. She works on the other side of the office but still finds her way to my cubicle a few times a week. Not nearly as much as Ella but still enough for me to notice. I haven't been in contact with her as much coz I have a heavy workload and my hands full with Ella nowadays at work.
Robin
Hit me up two days ago when I was sleeping over Harmony's house. I hit her up the next day and we texted a bit but she stopped responding when she found out I was sleeping over a girl's house the previous night. I am not interested in attempting to feign a relationship or monogamy to sleep with Robin so it is what is it.
Megan
Randomly called me last night and then hung up when I answered. We texted after that and caught up on a few things. She asked me how my search for the perfect girl was going and then we talked about her relationship a bit. She said she feels like she is ready for marriage and children but not sure whether her boyfriend is.
A part of me wanted to run a boyfriend destroyer pattern but I decided against it and just gave her some heartfelt advice. We weren't really compatible so no point putting more pressure on what she believes is her true shot at happiness. I still remember how good she looks naked, and she had a promiscuous path before she 'found Jesus', so if she loses Jesus when her and her bf breaks up, hopefully she finds my d!ck lol.
Amber
Kinda invited me to hang with her on Thursday for Friday. Blew it off to kick it with Harmony.
More when it happens
