So why is now the time when all the boys seem to come out of hibernation? I thought we were heading into winter, not out of it.
After my first date with the new guy, I went to a wedding where I reconnected with a friend I've known since high school, but never saw a lot. He invited me up to the "after-party" in his room, but I politely declined, knowing that it couldn't end well. However, we've been emailing back and forth pretty much every day since. That's really all there is to that. Well, except I think he used to have a thing for me, but he's geographically unavailable. So he's definitely in the just friends territory.
This week, my summer fling texted me saying he was back for the holidays and wanted me to visit him at work. I gave noncommittal answers or just didn't respond to his texts. I find out through the power of Facebook that he is single (unlike his "on a break" status this summer). Last night, he texts again and I finally ask, what are you after? "Seeing you. I miss your Pam-ness" (of The Office) and "I'll make you feel like a college girl again" (for some reason, that statement really creeps me out).
Today while in the Finance department talking to a couple friends, one of them blurts out, "Are you single?" After a hesitating "Why?" from me, she continues, talking to the guy behind her, "And you're single. You two should date!" Where did this come from? I hear from a fairly reliable source that he was hinting around at my dating status. But he's not my type and I allowed that conversation to end in awkward laughter.
Why all of this now? Is there some sort of radar that guys pick up that tells them: OhMyFancy's attention is diverted by another male! Must try to gain it!
I'm flattered by the attention because, well, who wouldn't be? And as tempted as I am to hang out with the summer fling since it would be a fun power trip, I don't want to screw up anything with the new guy.
Seriously, about the radar though. Guys? Is there some signal that girls put out that says, I'm heading into romantically unavailable territory? And don't tell me it's a lack of desperation in our auras because LOMB girls are not those types of girls.

For some reason this wedding "after party" instantly made me think of The Office and Andy's hurt. you know. Anyway, was this a sexual innuendo for the two of you? Or was he actually having a party? Group hang outs in hotel rooms are pretty fun!
Yes, I do think that the interest of guys rarely comes from one guy. For me, it's more 2 or 3 or nothing. If you don't think you can juggle, don't do it. But you aren't exclusive with "new guy"... YET. I've seen girls get hurt when they treat it like they are and they aren't.
Also, I'm curious what is your type? I've noticed you say a few times a guy "isn't your type." I may try to take a stab at what mine is, because I know OhMyPassion did a while back...and I'm not sure I 100% have one.
