First off, hope everyone had a magical Christmas! It was the first stress-free Christmas in years. Layla and I had such a wonderful day filled with joy, peace and lots of love. She got so many new things I actually stole of few toys before she unwrapped them and I'm saving them for her birthday (am I horrible Mom or what? Stealing her Christmas gifts. He He He)
So tonight marks the third Friday in a row McScotty and I will attempt to go out on a date. Hopefully it'll actually happen, but I am certainly not holding my breath. I have been smart enough to plan a few backup options (can't let a good babysitter go to waste!). That said, we've actually gotten to know each other a lot better in the past week. I feel like I have known him for a while, even though we've only seen each other once. I'm really looking forward to spending a little 'face' time with this one...he might be a keeper.
On the other hand, I had another date lined up for tomorrow night (Sat) but cancelled it almost as quickly as I agreed to it. This guy was a piece of work. While he seemed really nice and normal at first. He's another match.com guy and we started talking earlier this week on match, then yahoo messenger. Our first conversation was very normal, very pleasant.I agreed to meet him this weekend but had reservations. The next time we talked he acted like we were dating. WTF? I kept telling myself just to give him a shot as I need to date a few more people before I can narrow down right? (right Will?) until....
The day after our second conversation he sent me at least 6 text messages and several IM's on yahoo, not to mention 2 emails. Um, hello? Desperate Much? Red Flag numero uno. Then I found out he was only seperated 2 months ago. Red flag dos.
THEN (and this is the best), when I told him my little brother was coming in town for the weekend he asked if he was staying with me. When I said no, he implied after we met Saturday night (for what I though would be meeting for a few drinks) he could just crash at my house. UM, NO! NO! and NO!. Are you crazy?
I decided immediately this one had to be shut off. So I did the mature thing...I emailed him (hey, it's better than just ignoring the guy which is what I would have rather done). I figured he at least deserved an explanation as to why I would agree to meet then back out. Maybe he can learn something before he meets his next 'victim'.
Enough on that. I am off to have a productive afternoon before my 'date'. Wish me luck (and knock on some wood that it actually happens).
