Have you SEEN me?

Formerly Not So Much. . .the daily musings of a 26-year-old PYT whose self-love is superceded only by her obnoxiously endearing ability to remind you at all times just how fabulous she is. Guys too stupid to realize how lucky they are to be graced with her presence? Woman with 4-pack abs climbs onto the elliptical trainer next to her? Arrives at Chick-Fil-A at 10:37, only to learn she has missed her opportunity for a chicken biscuit? She throws all these setbacks off with disdain. . .after all, have you SEEN her??

Ok it's been several days since I had an obsessive guy post

This one's not obsessive, just irritating. Ok, so 24 year old Keith, as he will always be known, called me Sunday, as Me revealed in comments somewhere below. I was in Atlanta going to to meet Me for dinner so the conversation was short, maybe 10 minutes. I asked if I could call him back, and he said sure, but this week was sort of crazy cause they're having this training thing for his company and they're going to dinner several nights this week, he said Monday Tuesday and Thursday. Well, so then, I said, "Why don't you call me back this week when you get a chance then?"

So even though I had said that, I took a chance and called him last night about 9:30, and left him a message, "Hey it's Molly, I know you're going to call me when you get a chance, but just thought I'd try to catch you. I'll look forward to hearing from you tomorrow, I think you said that you didn't have dinner plans with your company that night. . ." I wanted to reiterate that I wanted to hear from him, since our first conversation was so short. So, sure enough, he calls me at the stroke of 5 today. I am clearly still at work. But after establishing that I will not "get in trouble" for chatting with him, we talk about 10 minutes, and then I ask if I can call him back, is he going to be around in a bit. Sure, he says, he may go to the gym, but he should be back after that. So I call at like 8:45 and leave a message, and he hasn't called back. Hello, phone tag much? Now, the boy is calling me, and it seems that he's calling me at regular enough intervals and returning calls and all that, but damn, now we go back to tomorrow where he has this dinner engagement again. . .and he didn't call back tonight. . .is it wrong and/or unlikely and/or ridiculous to hope that he catches me tomorrow, even if only for a few moments, to make plans with me for the weekend? Cause clearly we're incapable of having more than a few minutes' worth of conversation.

There is no question here. I know that I'm doing the polite thing and returning calls and not making myself too available. I resisted the urge to call at 10:45 and remind him of my and Sadie's bedtime. And he did call right at 5 today, which is pretty forward (and not too terribly "breezy"), so if he really wants to get in touch with me tomorrow, looks like he's not afraid to do so, even if it means calling at a semi-sketchy time (like, during work hours). Thoughts? I just really sort of like the 24 y/o, and I'd like to hang out this weekend! (Although I have been forbidden from asking, "So when are you taking me out?" which is fine, since I don't have time to squeeze that in anyway! ;-)
