It's been so long and there has been so much happening so fast, I have just kept postponing writing here. But at some point, it has to be done, so here it goes.
I'll start with the simplest of it all - Popeye. After their date, Electra simply did not hear from him again. She figured since she also had Fox, she would leave it up to Popeye to contact her.
And he didn't. We really don't quite understand why, but I have a theory that he had also decided to leave it up to her. And as these "I wont make a move until she does"-things go... it became the end of Popeye.
So at least this makes it easier for me to keep up.
Fox has seen a lot of activity though.
Last time I wrote, they were going to a comedy club, and the same night, I had the pleasure of meeting him. I must admit, the event took place after me having consumed several units of alcohol so the memory of it is rather vague but he made a good impression I believe. He was polite and friendly and perhaps a little quiet. He said he had the previous model of the cellphone I am thinking about getting. This, for some reason, I remember.
Anyhoo - after the comedy club they both went to Electra's place. They had wine and talked and it was pretty romantic and intimate. The appropriate setting for kissing, but there was no kiss. Electra half-heartedly asked him if he wanted to stay the night. Not half-heartedly because she didn't like him, but because she somehow knew it wasn't the right time. And apparently so did he - he said no to her invitation and they both spent the night alone.
The next day he texted Electra, telling her he liked her a lot.
Some days later, Electra and I went for some drinks. It turned out that Fox was in a bar only a few buildings away, and so we went there to meet him. He was with collegues and the bar was totally packed despite it being only 9pm. It was too packed for me, so I went to meet some friends, leaving Electra in the company of Fox and his collegues. Drinks led to drinks, and drinks led to touching, and several hours later, they both went back to Electra's again.
This time he spent the night - but they did not have sex. His hands did not even move close to any parts of her body that might be consideres erogenous zones. The perfect gentleman. I am not sure if this is good or bad.
This was the first night there was any physical contact.
The next day, he took her out on a proper date. The real deal, nice restaurant and expensive food - paid by Fox. They then went to her house to get the things she would need to sleep over at his place. And then they went to his. And they had sex and it was ok.
And in the morning, they woke up and they had sex again. This time though, he just stopped. Apparently, after a while, he has rolled off her and said "It's so hot in here"."And that was it. No previous warning, no attempt to make it up to her. He just stopped.
Please, never just stop.
Electra felt a slight worry developing. Malcolm had had his problems in bed, and she just didn't think she would be able to deal with that again. If Fox also had problems, she might have to stop seeing him. He would have to be pretty damn perfect in every other way in order for a sexual malfunction to be accepted.
Some days later, they met and went to an art exhibition. Afterwards, they went to his place and watched a movie, and it was the beginning of a boyfriend/girlfriend weekend. Electra spent the night and they had breakfast and spent the afternoon in a nice jazz cafe, reading papers, listening to a jazz band and holding hands. And as in every romantic movie, when the couple is not yet sure how they feel about each other, an old man came over and told them how wonderful it was to see two such pretty young people so much in love.
In the evening, they had to be seperated for some hours as he had plans, but he came to her apartment in the middle of the night and stayed there. He was in a mood she hadn't seen before, so happy and confident - and this time, sex was great.
Electra was extatic; he didnt have any problems in bed after all! A great weight was lifted off of her shoulders.
The next morning they had sex again. And unfortunately her joy disappeared, as it was over after only a minute.
She is still giving him the benefit of doubt though, it will take more than a few mediocre lays to push her away.
So that's the current situation: Electra and Fox are more or less officially dating, and next weekend, she is invited to meet his friends - all couples. A very adult thing to do.
I believe I forgot to mention that their first date was on Valentine's day... so perhaps this one is meant to be.

Wednesday was Electra's second date with Fox. He wore a white striped shirt and pretty nice jeans. She made it a point to check his teeth which were like perfect white pearls, and accidentally had a look at his crotch but couldn't draw any conclusions from it.
Things went well. Conversation was nice, they talked about their families and about his summer house on the coast and just about this and that. Again, he seemed to make an effort to avoid awkward silences and Electra found him a little hard to read. She couldn't tell whether he liked her or not (which of course he does, they all do), whereas she definitely liked him. Still, he seems quite "proper" and tidy and perhaps even mainstream, so that might be the catch? Or he might not be "proper", tidy and mainstream - it's too early to tell.
Their third date is tonight already. They are going to a comedy club this time.
Competition is tough for Fox at the moment though. Thursday night Electra had her first date with Popeye. They went to a bar and had some drinks and this is it:
He was cute, charming, more "troll-like" than in the photo (her words, I am not quite sure what it means. Come to think of it, she also said he reminded her of her grandfather...)
He was wearing wannabe-posh clothes but she could tell he was originally of - uhm, how should I phrase this - lower "social circumstances".
He looked at her a lot (and her cleavage) and asked her lots of questions. She told him she was also "dating" Fox, which he didn't seem too pleased to hear. Nice, white teeth. It was all very relaxing and fun, and he asked her why she is single, so she asked him the same. He said it's because he's picky, but she could tell he liked her.
He paid all her drinks, and just as she was about to order new ones, he said he was going to head home. This was at about 11pm, so he might be the sensible type.
All in all a good but short date, and she will definitely see him again. Perhaps on Sunday.
We've got ourselves a race.....

Ok, just to get it out of the way and to narrow down the number of names, I am announcing that Electra has finally sent Billy the official text message saying they're just too different and the physical distance is too big. So that's the end of Billy too.
There has been no contact with Malcolm since he left her bed. This is probably both due to him being embarrassed by his poor performance as well as Electra having opened her eyes to yet another suitor...
Let me introduce Fox:
-190 cm
-30 years old
-Teeth not noticed, i.e. probably not too bad
-IT engineer
-possibility of lacking "an edge" but the first seemingly normal person Electra has met through meet.com
They met on meet.com a while ago I believe. Communication was slow at first but then got a bit more intense after the whole Mark thing, and Saturday they decided to meet.
As Electra entered the bar, she saw a guy staring at her from a bar stool. He looked terrible and nothing like in the photos, so she hid behind a pole and called me for advice/share her frustration. Turns out, as soon as we hung up, she discovered the real Fox, who was surprisingly pleasant. He was well dressed and had the perfect height. Electra was confused as to why he would send her such bad photos of himself when in fact he looked this good!
Conversation went easily with a few minor breaks which they both immediately tried to fill with questions about each other. Since they talked so much, Electra is unsure of whether he is interesting and fun or if she was blinded by the efforts to keep conversation going, or whether he seemed so great because she was so relieved her date wasn't the horribly guy at the bar.
Fox almost seemed too perfect, too smooth…
What's the catch...?

They have another date tonight, maybe we'll know more tomorrow.
Yet another newcomer is Popeye:
-186 cm
-30 years old
-no tooth information to date
-imports tires...? or something...
Their first date is tomorrow night, so I am looking forward to giving you all the details then!

A week has passed and things have happened. Too many things to give a clear account of, if not in a somewhat systematical order. Let's start where things stopped - Malcolm.
As it turns out, nothing happened between Malcolm and Electra. She joined him and his flat mate at an after party in their house. After drinks and whatnot, they went to bed. Electra insisting and Malcolm resisting. Malcolm was not sure it would be such a good idea but Electra disagreed. In the end she gave up and, after some hours of sleep, she went home in the early afternoon the next day. She did not hear from him all week, but invited him over for some wine this evening. He came, had wine, listened to some music, and left. Electra would like to have him as a bed buddy.
She has two theories to explain this craving (because it's definitely not his sexual skills):
1. She is no longer with Peter and needs male, physical contact. Malcolm is simply a replacement.
2. She genuinely likes him.
She hopes it is number 2.
As for Sebastian - he has not been heard from.
Billy, however, has been a loyal candidate. They sent each other messages every now and then, and had a nice lengthy conversation on Tuesday or so. He mentioned that they would be married in five years, which was a bit odd. He made her laugh, at times because of a joke and at times because of his farmer-Goofy voice. They still had a loose arrangement to meet on Thursday.
When Thursday arrived, Electra was deeply occupied with a new suitor (see below) and so she could not care less when Billy did not text her all day Thursday to let her know whether they would meet or not. When he finally called in the evening to apologize, she was chirpy and telling him not to worry. (For extra information on possible reactions, please see entry 2, section Sebastian.)
Electra is certain she is not interested in Billy but does not rule out meeting him, as she is curious how this type of person might look and act in real life. He texted her tonight asking how her weekend has been. She hasn't answered. Yet.
The new entry to the arena is Mark. Mark and Electra met on meet.com on Tuesday.
-188 cm (according to profile)
-35 years old
-teeth not noticed due to other appearance issues
-the best in his field of whatever he does
-damaged goods
They started sending each other emails, one after the other, and they got longer and longer. Electra wanted to meet right away but Mark was reluctant. He told her he is not good at meeting new people unless it's through work, and said he was still scarred by his previous relationship.
So they kept emailing. Several long emails at all hours. He also sent her a few songs he had written, which were wonderful. Unfortunately, he asked few questions about Electra but yet he seemed like the perfect man. He also seemed to be OK looking, according to his photos on meet.com. In one of them, he looked cute and perhaps a bit vulnerable, and in the other, he looked like an American jock, i.e. not so good. Still - everything else seemed perfect. He could even be The One.
Thursday night, they were emailing each other until 2 am and Mark decided that was the time. Time for them to meet. Now or never. He decided to confess that it wasn't him, but his cousin in the photos, and sent her a real one. He looked different but not too bad, so no disaster. However, it was pretty cold outside, and Electra opted not to meet him.
On Friday, he surprisingly sent her a message inviting her for lunch, and in a rush she got ready and ran off. The message I received from her after the date - which sums it all up pretty well - said:
Date over. He looked different that in the photo. Not very attractive. A bit strange but very friendly. I'm very uncertain. A lot shorter than I thought. A little belly, I think. Bad clothes. Bad taste.. He paid for lunch.
He later sent her messages telling her he thought she was great and beautiful, and that he really liked her. She, on the other hand, thought he was short and had a belly and was very insecure. He also made some weird faces sometimes, so returning the compliment was not an option. She said the date had been nice.
Since then they have emailed each other a bit, but less frequently. The seemingly perfect man has turned out to be unattractive, twitchy and with no style.
But - be that as it may - Electra always does her best to be a decent human being. So when he asked her if she wanted to go for some wine tonight, she agreed. She was about to cancel when she heard he was wearing sweats and a hoodie but then she gritted her teeth and accepted the invitation.
When they left, about 20 minutes ago, they passed the window.
From up here, he looked alright.

Electra dated Malcolm for approximately 3-4 months over the summer. Very good guy with occasional bad breath and average bed skills. Electra broke it off but they are still friends. .
Black eye project. A freak accident caused Electra to get a black eye a few days ago. This has proved to be an excellent attention drawer and ice-breaker, and must be used wisely for all it's worth.
