I've now heard it all!

I get a hall pass for not posting for a few weeks. 1) it's the holidays and I've been busy 2) I've had the worst cold, turned bronchitis I've ever had, and 3) I've been dealing with crazy people both personally and professionally.

Here's a quick recap of my last 2 dates:

1) I told you I was meeting him a few weeks ago. He's the newscaster from Topeka. Apparently, he's also a black jack dealer at Harrahs. Found that out when I met him. He was a nice guy but completely self absorbed (in the 2 hours we sat having drinks, I think he may have asked me 1 personal question). He also has the craziest schedule I've ever heard of. Basically, even if I wanted to date him, I would probably see him every other Sunday in the month that end in Y. In short...not worth my time.

2) I went on a lunch date with a guy that seems to have some promise. Not so much when I met him. Complete dork. Sometimes dorky is good, but he was a little much for me. Needless to say, that one started and ended over lunch (that was last week sometime).

Since then I've not put much of an effort into putting myself out there. I have a girlfriend wanting to set me up with a co-worker/friend of her's after we get through the holidays. I'm actually looking forward to that. She knows me pretty well. She knows him pretty well and I trust her judgement that we'd be a good match. Being set up by friends is far different (and much better) than the online crap shoot.

And speaking of the online crap shoot, this is probably going to rank up there as one of the best-worst stories ever. I mean EVER. The good thing is, our 'relationship' never went beyond talking online:
We started talking about a week ago. Exchanged a few emails and he asked if I had a yahoo ID so we could chat there. I decided to get on there and see what this guy was all about. I learned he lived pretty close to me. He's a high school teacher in the district I live. Seemed very cool and very normal until a conversation unfolded Friday night. I downloaded messenger to my phone so it was more like texting and didn't force me to sit on my computer to talk to him.

The conversation started turning sexual pretty quick. I called him out on it and told him I really wasn't into that as I didn't even know him, never met in person, etc. He apologized and said he was just very open about that topic as he was raised that way. I told him great but I wasn't interested in having that type of conversation with someone I don't know.

And, the below conversation unfolded after he told me he was raised in very openly sexual household. When I asked what that meant:

HIM:  I used to walk in on my parents all the time. At first it was an accident.
ME: At first???
HIM: Well, the first time I walked in I turned real quick to leave but my Mom called me over and asked if I had any questions. I had a few.
ME: Did she answer them?
HIM: Yes. She said sex was something to be ashamed of and they wouldn't try to hide it from me.
ME: So you would watch them? (at this point I'm amazed, grossed out, but like a car accident, can't turn away)
HIM: Yes for 2 hours.
ME: um....gotta go.

Like me, you're probably speechless. Personally, this isn't 'normal' to me. At all. Like not even close. I can now say, I've heard it all.
