For the past 3 months I keep intending to get this thing back up and running, but you know how it is (at least you know how I am!). As most of you know, I've thrown myself back into the dating world (why, I don't know, but it does make for some good stories). This time around though I have a partner in crime. One of my best friends has found herself single this past year so we are enjoying the single ride together. She was doing the online dating thing and having some pretty good luck so I decided to throw my hat back into that ring. Again, why? I don't know...there are just as many insane people on there as there were 2 years ago.
So here's a very BRIEF rundown of the dates (at least the ones worth mentioning) I've had in the past month:
Guy #1: One word...psycho. I didn't realize this though until attempted date #4. I had spend the afternoon and evening at the emergency vet with Sasha. Things weren't looking good for her and I was in no mood to go out with him. That and the fact he didn't call me until 8:30pm to figure out what we were doing (um, I'm not 21. I normally go out before 10pm!). Needless to say I didn't call him back until well after 10. He was hammered at his friends bars (red flag #3 and #4. Him being hammered at his friends bar was a reoccurring theme). After a few minutes of listening to him beg and plead for him to come pick him up (um, no!), he started telling me he loves me and can't live without me. And there is was...18 degrees of crazy! NEXT!
Guy #2: He insisted on meeting me out on an evening when I was out with girlfriends on the Plaza (and planning to spend the night down there at my GF's). I finally caved (I will admit, I was a little tipsy). First of all, he didn't show up until 11:30pm. Secondly, he took a cab. Red flag #1 and #2. I had maybe one more drink in me before I was ready to call it a night. He seemed to think we were going to close down the bars. Again, I'm not 21. About 10 minutes into the "date" (I really can't even call it that), he turned to me and says, "So, do you think it would be okay if I just came back to your girlfriends house and spent the night there with you?". Me: "Um...NO! NO! AND NO!". He start pouting and actually says, "well, I took a cab all the way down here and now you're going to leave me along?". Me: "Yes". I've never done this before, but I proceeded to go to the bathroom, conveniently located my the back door of the bar and 'accidentally' went out the back door and left him at the bar. NEXT!
Guy #3: THE.WORST.EVER. I mean seriously. I knew I had problems when he called and couldn't find the restaurant. He was in the parking lot right next to it yet it took him 25 minutes to find it. This guy was a train wreck. He looked and smelled like he lived in his Mom's basement. Remember when I used to post the 'freak of the week'"? If he had had his actual picture on his online profile, he would have been a candidate. The problem was, his profile picture clearly wasn't of him. He also fudged his height just a little...maybe about 7 inches (he hardly cleared my shoulder). I met him for lunch this past Tuesday. He walked in and I actually thought to myself, "can I pretend to not know him and walk out the door". The problem is, my pics online ACTUALLY look like me. After ordering I cornered our server and told him to bring out our order ASAP. It worked. The lunch date lasted 23 minutes. NEXT!
We'll see when "NEXT" is. This is frustrating. I will say though, I went on a really fabulous lunch date last week (one of my friends set us up). He's out of town for 3 weeks though and I haven't talked to him. We'll soon see what transpires with that. In the meantime though...I'm ready for the "NEXT"....
