So an update on the new Mike..
So we have seen each other almost everyday…it’s kind of nice because he is really attentive and sweet like in a teasing but friendly way.Last night we worked in the lab pretty late and I ended up skipping the Steve Lopez talk because well I was exhausted and I needed to drive him home as he is still sans car…so last night we went to Wegmans and wandered around the store and grabbed some Chinese, and this is when I started my weird internal conversation. So he pays veryclose attention to everything I do and say and react to…which is nice but also a little off putting ya know? Like does he jot it down in a journal? I’m not sure…ok so back to the story
We’re at the Chinese bar and he is watching what I am putting in my take out container and when I look at him he’s like what and I’m all what? So I walk away…once we’re in the café eating he notices that I pick out my vegetables…I can’t help it they looked kind of gross, like sat under a heat lamp too long gross…and so he’s like oh you don’t like vegetables do you…and I’m like well just these and he’s all oh that’s too bad…and so internally I’m wondering if he’s judging my eating habits or just making an observation…
So we finish and wander around the store and we stop in the bakery because he’s looking for some weird frosted animal cracker cookie things…so I grab two rolls for sandwiches for school tomorrow and he’s like oh good for you and I look at him perplexed of course and he’s all you chose wheat they’re good for you…and I’m all well I chose wheat because white tastes like nothing…and he’s all because the nutrients are taken out…so I continue to process this…like I kind of wanted a cheese roll but I decide not to get it because I wonder if he’ll judge…like is it judging am I just being psychotic because I have food issues? Is he secretly counting the fat grams and calories and wondering if I make healthy choices? Or is he food obsessed because of his former chubby kid life?
The last incident happens after he gets a giant case of Guinness and we wonder past the soda and he says just ignore it, it’s not good for you anyway…and I stutter step because I am more than slightly surprised…like umm hello you’re going home to write a paper and get wasted and I can’t get a diet coke with lime because it’s the devil?
That’s the recap…it makes me slightly anxious because I like to eat what I want when I want…but I guess at the same time he cares about my health? I don’t know if I am trying to make allowances for him or if I am just overreacting? This is a normal girl thing right? To care about what people think?
I should also mention he has a giant whey protein mix container and giant bottles of vitamins in his apartment (along with pie and cookies, it’s a weird mix)…maybe he’s projecting his issues? Or maybe he’s socially awkward and was trying to make conversation? I have no idea…
Ugh! Crush gone!! He's a total lame head for those comments!
