"Au Revoir"

Well, It seems as though I'm still on the mind of Youngin'. Last night out of nowhere he IM's me.  In case you forgot, this is the younger, shorter, "guy" that is moving for the summer. What I left out last time, is he's moving to the very same state of someone that I briefly had a long distance fling with. Oh yes, not only is he moving to the same state, but the very same town.  Awesome. They also share the same first name. I believe there is a website dedicated to these types of situations. FML.com I think. Who wants to take bets on them becoming the best of friends?!  We know they at the very least have one thing in common. 

Anyways....Youngin' apparently wants to get together before he leaves for the summer. He leaves in two weeks. Apparently he thinks it's a shame that it didn't work out last time we tried to meet. Yes, that was quite a shame. In no way did I dodge a bullet with that. Oh wait....yes, I think I may have. Hmmm...it seems as though my next two weeks are pretty full. What. A. Shame.  

 

"Let It Rock"

So there is flirting and then there's......well just no need. Take that however you like.
I have two guys I'm talking to. One is currently in the line up for a date. I will give you the low down on them in a moment. First, I must update you on the most recent ridiculous adventure I have decided to take which will make this blog even more readable! I signed up for a website called crazyblinddate.com. Yes. I. Really. Did. So here's the deal with that. It is run by OkCupid. You fill out info for where you want your date to meet, the preferred calender date, and time. Then you fill out what you are looking for in your "potential" and give a little about yourself as well. You can do this solo or as a double date with someone you know or don't know. I am going to be doing this as a double date with someone I know. You know who you are and thanks! You then give your cell # which they will NOT give to the other person but use it to let you know where you will be meeting your date. The date will receive the same text. Best part of this. You receive the text about an hour before you have to be there! See, this is where it becomes a little ridiculous. I think I just signed up for another dating reality show and the camera's are going to pop out when it's over.....just you see.
Ok back to the boys of now. So we have LV. I briefly mentioned him in the last blog. LV has a tendency of trying to come off as sexy. Instead, it has become mostly awkward and a little creepy. I actually don't think he is, I just don't think he knows how to play. When getting to know someone it's ok to flirt and be a little coy. I mean you do want to appear attractive! However, you don't want to over do it. You can come off trashy and it also leaves nothing to the imagination Ladies, If men are good at anything its how well they know how to use their imagination. Please, let the men work a little.
This rule also applies to men when flirting with women. Example. "I want to give you a bath." This is no good.
1. I hope the woman you are talking to knows how to bathe herself.
2. You don't know her, she does not want you all up in her relaxing bath time!
3. FYI generally when you do first meet a woman, you shoot for coffee or a drink! Not bath time! 
So....Hey, LV. Read this. Take some notes. Maybe next time when "flirting" with a woman, you will know what's ok and what's not. You unfortunately have been declined...by me.

Next....We shall call this one After Hours. Yes, definitely After Hours. After Hours is a stock broker by day and "Guy in a Band" by night. Oh and has a beautiful tattoo sleeve. Oh heavens. Oh dear.  

I have been talking to AH for a few days now and so far...pretty good. A little bit of dork. I like that. A lot bit of a tattood band guy. I love that. Has a successful job that he actually likes. I very much appreciate that. Oh and he likes to go out and also likes to socially drink. Those two qualities were missing from the last super exciting date I had....
There are a few...well traits that I don't love but I still need to get to know him before I squash this. He has a cat, I have a dog. Why this bugs me I'm not sure. But, it's part bobcat...and well that's kind of interesting. Next, he admits he likes to snuggle. I wish that this was the first guy to admit this. Unfortunately this is not the case.
Here's the thing with snuggling, at least for me. I'm not huge into it first of all. I also didn't think I would come across a lot of men that were. I can handle it, when we have been together for awhile. I don't snuggle or cuddle with people I don't know. Hell, I don't really snuggle with people I do know.  Although I am unsure why he did feel like sharing this information with me,  I can't hold such a ridiculous thing against him.  Unfortunately for him, I will not be snuggling on the first date, or second.  If there is a snuggle attempt put on me. END.OF.DATE.
I will be going out with After Hours to the Science Museum sometime this week and will hopefully have my first double blind date this Friday. Wish, me luck!

"Crack A Bottle"

Awww....today I received the best Cupid email so far(insert sarcasm here).  They sent me a birthday email with a picture of a delicious cake and all!  It was their way of reminding me that I am not getting any younger and that I am still single and "looking for love"....Joke is on you Cupid. I'm turning 25 again. HA!

Well I had my rescheduled date with Tall.  Yeah, it was that good.  Where do I begin.....

First of all, when you make plans for dinner, BE ON TIME. Especially when the night before you canceled on me with very short notice. I think we all remember how that evening went. I have to take a train and a bus and manage to get there early. Just saying....

So eventually Tall shows up. Let me tell you this, this man is TALL.  My heels had nothing on him!  Unfortuantely I don't have any crazy date story with this one, other than it was just ok.  I started off by ordering myself a glass of wine. He ordered a Sprite.  That's fine...until I find out he does not drink. At all.  Again, totally fine. Until you start preaching to me that you don't need to drink to relax or to have a good time.  Oh, well why the hell have I been drinking then?  Could someone please inform me why you do drink??? I must have missed the memo.  At this point I have now flagged down the waitress. "Another glass of wine please".  It's going to be one of those nights....

So here's the lowdown on Tall.  He does not drink ever.  He golfs when not working and reads about golf when not golfing.  He thinks that if you move out of the suburbs to the city it is because you need to be constantly entertained. That's correct Tall, and we entertain ourselves by drinking.  His ex-girlfriends dogs name is Warren. He likes to snuggle at the end of the bed under the covers in between Tall and Tall's Girlfriend. I mean ex! Sorry I was little confused with their current status.  I also have about a half an hours worth of more information on the dog if you feel you need it. He's never been to a concert...b/c he just doesn't like music all that much. THIS was by far the most disturbing thing I heard all night. I don't understand. How do you not like music!?!? And lastly, he mentioned that all of his friends are married with children. He mentioned this 5 times.  "Waitress, another glass please. Oh and the bill would be great!"

So that my friends was my date. The date that was rescheduled. The first and only date with Tall.

Next up: LV.  LV is a 28 year old who edits films. Oh and he works at Louis Vuitton part time. So LV.....what kind of discount do you get.....
