met J at pacific beach last weekend. brunette, great body, works in marketing at some startup downtown.
been seeing her for like 5 days now. she’s fun. doesn’t ask too many questions about what i do which is nice. told her “i trade stocks from home” and she just said “cool” and moved on.
honestly refreshing after the last girl who wanted to see my charts and “learn about trading.” no thanks.
the usual pattern #
probably give it 3-4 weeks max before i get bored. always happens. things are great for like 2 weeks then i start finding little things that annoy me.
J talks a lot. like A LOT. which is fine now but i can already tell it’ll get old. also she wants to hang out every night which… no. i have algos to code.
trading while dating #
lost another $3k this week. down $51k total now since january. J doesn’t know. probably won’t tell her unless she asks directly.
hard to focus on fixing my position sizing code when she’s texting every hour. turned my phone on do not disturb during trading hours (9:30am-4pm). she noticed and asked if i was mad.
not mad, just need to focus.
san diego dating scene #
been here my whole life (born july 4 2003, grew up in la jolla). dating scene is… interesting. lots of hot girls, most are flaky AF or just want instagram content.
J seems more chill than most. we’ll see how long it lasts.
parents would’ve liked her probably. mom always wanted me to “settle down” even though i was 19 when they died. not ready for that.
anyway back to coding. she’s coming over later and i need to finish testing this volatility adjustment before tonight.
