Sunday nights are busy for the site. Mondays don't prove much different - fifteen new messages since last post. One from a guy working the scary movie angle again. That's cool, but I don't like him. I think I'll just delete him. One guy says "If I see another profile entitled 'lookin for mister right, not mister right now' I just might shoot myself." Cute, but ehhh ... I thought it was looking for Mr. Right Now and if he turns into Mr. Right that was just bonus? What do I know? Another prize ... "I am visiting for 2 weeks and am looking for someone to hang out with. Interested?" I think I just read booty call from that ... thoughts? Another guy says "long time no see." Yeah, I don't even remember this guy. For the love of God, I hate guys and their come hither look!! Also, I hate when guys initiate with "How are you doing today?" That honestly gives me nothing to go by. They need to be more creative. For the record, it's nice to be on this site and not be the one doing the chasing. Granted there have been some fairly cute guys in my "I'm curious" searches. I haven't initiated yet though since I'm doing all right so far. As many messages as I've received, I still want to say to some of these repeats that I'm STILL not interested! Here's a good one: "Hi sexy. You look like my next friend." It's cute, but he's gross. DELETE!
The latest with CDG ... well I hadn't heard much from him since our makeout session. That could be normal or I could be reading into things. Who knows? Taking advice from my guy friend that men want to feel needed/wanted, too I decided to bbm him and see what he was up to last night and see if he wanted to do something. He replied "Are you cooking?" I owed him a dinner, so I checked the pantry and sure enough I had some stuff to make pasta so I replied sure. He came over around 7:30 and we ate, sat in my backyard and talked for a bit, then once the mosquitoes came out we headed inside to watch a little TV - not one move. What gives? He had told me earlier in the day that he thought he might be coming down with something, that his throat was feeling a little scratchy earlier in the day. I blew it off at the time. Just before he left ... at 9 ... he leaned over, gave me a kiss on the mouth and said thanks for having him over. He said he didn't want to get me sick before I left on vacation (tomorrow). Umm ... ok. Since when has that ever stopped anyone? Is it just me? I'm a little confused. I guess it's been a while since I've been in a relationship and we know this whole dating thing is new to me, but shouldn't there be a tiny bit of action going on? That was technically date six after all if you count movie night. Thoughts out there in cyberspace??
In other news AG has been IM'ing me again. On Monday he mentioned that he was still out-of-state until today. He also said that he really wanted to see me when he got back. Today we chatted for a bit and he tried to convince me that I sent him a drunk text on Saturday. It was kind of cute, but I know better than that. I might drunk text and be silly, but I've never sent a racy message. I know ... I'm boring that way. Sorry! During his trying to convince me he said something to the effect of that's why he said he wanted to see me when he got home. He was rather flirty today - it was definitely interesting to say the least. Later in the conversation I said that I had just assumed he'd put me in the friend category. He said we could talk about that later if I wanted to. I told him I was in no rush as I was just taking things day by day. He mentioned that he really liked to take things slow as there was no turning back time or going backwards. That makes sense, but wow ... I bet if I told him I wanted to give it up he'd be right on board. I'm speaking from most perspectives of men (sorry!). Later this afternoon he said he wanted to see me this evening. I had plans to come home, pedicure, and pack for tomorrow, but sure, why not? Just as soon as he said that something came up with work again. I told him I'd text him after my workout and confirm just in case he had to back out. Sure enough he did. Lack of interest, better offer, or truly work-related? Who knows? I've been fine thus far without him. We're supposed to catch up when I get back.
WG sent me some text messages yesterday and IM'd me again today. Yesterday he was wondering if he should be worried that he was trying to date me yet I was on the date site every night. UGH!! I was on because I was talking to a cutie first of all, second of all ... ummm ... isn't HE online, too??? Annoying!! He mentioned that he would be patient and think of me while I'm gone. I keep thinking I have to let him down gently, but maybe I just need to let him down. This being new I have no idea how to, but I'll figure out it. I'll probably end up being a huge bitch in the process, but I'm not sure how else to do it.
There's a new guy ... he watches lots of sports so we'll call him cute sports guy or CSG for short. He really is a cutie - nice eyes, nice teeth, and a beautiful smile. He lives somewhat further from me, but hey, we can make it work if we like each other, right? Our first date is supposed to be next Saturday and we're supposed to do drinks and a movie. I'm excited about it. I'm trying not to get my hopes up since it's more than a week away (still time to cancel) and I don't want to have any expectations whatsoever and potentially end up disappointed. I need to chill just a little bit.
Well, I'm on vacation until Sunday evening. Unless anything eventful happens while I'm away I won't post until I get back.

Been Busy
Since my last post I've had eleven more messages comprised of " Hey there, you might make an interesting friend." You're damn right I would. j/k Also there's "Hello beautiful. I would like to get to know you better. So if u don't have a problem dating black guys can we be friends?" Here's the winner for the week. I don't think we can top this one "i came across your profile from search, i am new here and would like a friend ship, currently i am in USA staying for a week in a business trip and to see my brother who study finance master degree, while i am in your city right now, i would like to have a relation ship with you build on respect and understanding, and if possible romance ... if you agree reply to me and i promise to take care of you....." Riiiiiigggghhhhtttt ... we're going to accomplish all of that in a week??? Seriously? lol Mind you - he's attached no photo. Maybe if I'm lucky and we hit it off I can be his bride and he can whisk me away to his foreign country. Yay! Oh the possibilities!
So ... AG is back. I got a text message from him Thursday evening saying hello and what's up. On Friday, he sent me an IM and said he'd been out-of-state dealing with work stuff. I guess that explains that. I'm still not sure what his deal is. He asked me if I was going to be around Friday night (which I wasn't) because he wanted to see if he could get a ride from the airport. I might have done it if I wasn't busy. On Saturday, he first sent me a message on the site saying "Hey hot stuff, want to go for a ride on my motorcycle?" I replied "Oh yeah, baby!" lol Later in the afternoon he gave me a call to see what was going on. We talked for a little bit on the phone. Yesterday we sent a few text messages back & forth. Who the heck knows? Boys are weird! Not that we're not, I'm just saying. I'm going to keep him in my back pocket and continue to be friendly. I don't want to marry the guy, but I should continue keeping my options open until I figure out what the hell I'm looking for.
Meanwhile on the CDG front ... I went over to his place Thursday night. He finally made a move and we made out like high schoolers. He's a great kisser, but that's all you get (no we didn't have sex, but for future reference I probably wouldn't give you that much information anyway). I'm not one to kiss and tell. Well, not unless I really know you. ;) We bbm'd a little on Friday. I was out of town this weekend so we were supposed to get together this evening, but we didn't. I didn't chat with him on Saturday and today after I got home, I didn't want to bother him. He asked how my weekend was and I said good. I elaborated a little bit and asked if he'd had a good one. We didn't talk much. Either he's not that into me or he plain forgot we were supposed to do something (or something that has absolutely nothing to do with me). Either way, I'm not going to be a girl and sweat it. I was tempted to ask if we were still hanging out, but I didn't want to seem needy or make him feel obligated so I just dropped it. I don't think we're there yet.

Falling Behind
I meant to update yesterday, but I got busy. Sorry about that! Let's start with what's been on the site the last few days. I have twelve new messages. Looks like I've got me another phone number. Woo! lol I'll pass thank you. Here's another guy with his toys - a boat, a 4-wheeler ... ehhh. Someone else has two bikes - pass! Unless he wants to share them and let me ride one? Nah - pass. I replied to a very cute guy with a pretty descent intro message. He hasn't responded back to me yet though. Ohhh - here's a winner. "Looking for a Lifetime Commitment" guy ... I think I'm going to pass on him. He has pretty eyes, but overall he looks like an 80's rocker. His hair is way longer than mine - that would just be weird for me. "Hey honey - can we braid each others hair?" I promised you stats and since inception I've had 105 prospects. Wow ... that's a pretty high number considering I've become online friends with one of them and on a date with three of them, one of which seems to so far be a perfect gentleman. That equates to about a .04 percentage. Pretty crazy, huh?
I'm still trying to figure out what to do about or rather how to handle WG. Again, he's a really nice guy, but I think because I don't take rejection well, I don't even know where to begin. One of my friends told me I should send him a text message. Isn't that mean? I might as well write him a post-it note. lol Yesterday we IM'd for a while. It started off pretty innocent, but then transitioned into how my time was difficult to get and how he was trying to be patient. I've seen him twice and I have trips planned with friends and family and right now I'm making me a priority. If I find someone I really like, yes he will be a priority. But he's at home writing a book ... granted that's work, but I don't have that much free time so I try to squeeze people in where I can. CDG is very convenient because he lives so close so it's easier to do something spur of the moment. Even if WG was a convenience, I don't think I would be into him. Plus he seems to want to move things along very quickly and get serious fast. I'm not quite ready for the wife and kids thing next month. He flat out asked me if I was looking for a relationship at this point in my life. I think I answered honestly when I said that I wasn't "looking", but I was not looking either. That right now, I was letting life takes its course to see where I ended up.
If you know anything about me, you know I'm somewhat spontaneous. My friends and family are the most important to me in the world. When I'm working, that's mostly all I think about and I even sometimes get obsessive - that's what makes me good at what I do. A significant other is going to have to understand that. WG seems to be bothered that I've got a lot going on in my life right now. I do. He also seems sort of clingy and that's the last thing that I want. Yes, it will be nice to one day be someone's whole life ... when we get there, not right away. At one point in our conversation he mentioned that he thought I would make a good mommy. I have no idea why. I've talked to the guy for maybe six hours tops?
On to another subject, I know you're dying to hear how dinner went Sunday night. It was very nice. I thought it was sweet that he reciprocated my game night invite to cooking me dinner at his house. He made a pasta and it was very tasty. I arrived just in time to eat, but spent the first few minutes playing with his super cute dog. His home is very much a bachelor pad. He's got a poker table, pool table, foosball, nice media room - a bit bigger than mine, his backyard is very nice; he's got a pool. He's very handy, too. Spent the morning landscaping his front yard and built a bar in his home just because; I didn't ask for a tour of the rest of the house. After dinner, he asked me what I felt like doing and gave me a list of options; I opted for a movie. His dog snuggled between us stealing as many kisses as she could during the movie. It was cute. He was a perfect gentleman though - he didn't try anything at all. After the movie, he walked me downstairs and gave me a hug goodnight.
The movie left us hanging as if there were a sequel. So on Monday I tried my darnedest to find the follow-up because we really liked the movie. I decided to sent him a bbm telling him my findings. I told him I was trying to download what I thought was the next in the series and he told me to wait because that was "our" thing. After my workout he sent me a bbm asking if my download worked so we continued our dialogue. He told me he'd keep Tuesday night open for me regardless of whether I got the download to work then asked what I felt like doing. I told him to dream about it and see what he came up with.
Yesterday morning he bbm'd me and told me he had no luck dreaming and asked what I felt up to doing. Later in the afternoon he asked what I wanted to do for dinner. I replied with "Paris or Barcelona because I haven't been to Spain yet." lol We ended up staying local since we both had to work today. After I got home he bbm'd me asking me for my phone number. Seems that we hadn't yet exchanged numbers this whole time. Too funny! He called shortly after that and we decided to meet at a nearby restaurant.
Dinner was good. I had never been to the restaurant. We had a great conversation with no awkward moments. He decided to tell me his off-color joke he used to drive one of his first dates away. I thought it was funny! It's highly doubtful I would have been offended on our first date. After dinner I prepared myself for a move thinking maybe, just maybe tonight? But nooooooo! Once I got home I thought about it and sent him a "thanks again" bbm and "good night". He replied that he was actually considering kissing me, but decided not to because of what we ate. lol It's kind of cute that he mentioned it. I replied with "Are you sure it wasn't me?" I told one of my friends what he said and he said "Yeah ... rookie mistake." ha ha Next time ... I'm out of town this weekend so we're supposed to do something when I get home Sunday afternoon.
More later ...

Yesterday ...
... was an interesting day. Per my usual Saturday routine I went to work out in the morning. When class let out, I had a bbm from CDG asking how my week was and what my plans were for the weekend. Keep in mind we had previously discussed meeting today for dinner. I replied with lunch, grocery, game night, then Sunday was free because my other event was canceled. He asked what kind of games we were playing and added that he wasn't inviting himself. I told I him I was hosting and if he didn't have any plans he was more than welcome to come over. He said he'd let me know. Later, he was too cute. He asked me how we met because I think he was concerned that my friends would think it was odd. I didn't care. The friends that were going to be here already knew that I went out with him and how we met.
After my work out, I came home and got ready for my lunch with WG. Again, we had some good conversation, but I'm not really feeling it with him. I've decided he's in the friends category ... assuming he even wants to be my friend. Now I just have to figure out how to tell him that. I'm not very good with bad news and well, I'm not saying he's gaga over me, but no one wants to hear that they're just "friends" you know?
After lunch, I checked my phone and had a missed call and a text message from none other than AG. I have an odd addiction to scary movies and he thought of me Friday night after he'd seen one and wondered how the heck I could watch them because it scared the living crap out of him. I called him back, but no answer so I sent him a text and told him I was putting the movie on my list to watch and couldn't wait to hear all about it. It's hard to say what the heck's going on with him after all.
Later in the evening, guess who showed up to my house for game night ... spontaneity earns him a few points. He got along well with my friends - more points. Positive feedback from my friends ... definitely some more points. It turns out he likes playing video games - yeah, more points. Apparently he cleaned up and put food away in the fridge while I was in the bathroom, too and the mother load of all points - he didn't make a move on me when I was drunk. I remember holding hands just before he left, but that was it. He sent me a bbm this morning to thank me for hosting. Later in the afternoon he sent me a message telling me he had a few things to take care of, but was hoping to be finished early enough to cook me dinner if I was interested. The guy cooks??? Wow, he's really racking up the points if he can cook. I'll keep you posted.

Short and Sweet
Today was an interesting day. Six new messages in the last two days. I had a few prospects email me again. The most interesting of the day goes to the guy that didn't have a profile picture, but wanted to meet. He further noted "I am willing to meet in a public place for like 20 minutes so we can see each other and see if we want to continue to talk from there." So ... we're putting a 20 minute time limit? First of all, I'm not interested in the guy, but if I'm going to give up my evening so that I can meet him out, he's going to give me more than 20 minutes of his time. At the very least and out of courtesy, even if we're not a good match, he should take a little time out of his schedule. I get it, maybe we're not into each other. It's hard enough though to try to figure someone out after a couple of hours of chatter, give someone the benefit of the doubt and at least give them some of your time.
One guy was sort of cute and seemed descent so I replied to him. His initial message asked how I was doing. I wasn't sure exactly how to respond to that so I found something off of his profile and commented on that. We had a small dialogue going and he seemed nice. He asked me where I worked, told me he worked at the post office, and what, if any, plans I had this weekend. I told him game night and a crawfish boil ... then he asked me what game night was. Ummm ... ok. I said "Well ... a group of friends get together and play games." Seriously?? I didn't think it wasn't obvious, but whatever. Then he proceeded to ask me where the crawfish boil was. As if I was going to tell him that! He later asked how long I'd been on the site. I told him just a few weeks. Before he shut down, he said "Fun, I can call you sometime." Now why didn't he ask? Is that wrong of me to infer things about that comment? Am I jumping to conclusions? I would have felt more comfortable if he asked me for my number or asked if I minded if he called. No ... he just said he could call me. Well I know he can ... anyone can. I don't know ... I usually don't give out my number until I've set up a meet. By the way, here's a shout out to my cousin - she asked me if post office guy told me he wanted to "lick my stamp" lol She's funny! :)
Ohhh ... a new cutie added me to IM. He's a couple of years older than me ... that's cool. He lives about an hour away though so if we end up liking each other that will definitely become a factor. He seems like a nice guy so far. I don't have a nickname for him yet - we didn't chat quite that long. So far we seem to have some of the same interests. I had to cut him short because I had to leave work, but I told him I'd be online tomorrow and how nice it was to "meet" him.
That's it for tonight.

Round Two
Not much new to report. AG is still AWOL so it's a good guess that that's it for him. Current theories suggest that I wasn't going to be easy so he didn't find a need to continue meeting. That's cool, I've blocked him on IM. He can text or call me if he gets bored. Guys are weird ... and they say we're complicated!
I decided to blow off the Cowboy. We were supposed to meet for dinner tonight, but I'm exhausted and honestly taking a walk, watching a little TV, and posting my thoughts sounded way better than wondering what he was up to. Besides, he never IM'd me to confirm, so I took that as he just wanted to get in my pants. No, thank you. He was cute, but if I'm that hard up for a one-nighter, I'll just go to a bar. It's probably safer that way anyway! lol
Let's see ... I chatted online some with WG. He asked when he got to see me again. We planned our second date for lunch on Saturday. I didn't want to make plans too soon; I'm not that eager. Besides, I've got plans Saturday night so he can have me during the day for a few hours if he'd like. He's supposed to get back with me because he might have a family conflict so I'll keep you posted.
I also hadn't heard from CDG since Monday night (he sent me a quick bbm to say hi while I was on my meet). I decided to bbm him this afternoon and see if he still wanted to meet up this week since I still had a few evenings free. I gave him the days I was available and he chose Sunday night. On another note, one of my friends asked me how my date was with him. I said "it was fine." He said I sounded disappointed. I didn't think I was disappointed. I think I'm confused because I'm not sure how this is supposed to work ... but disappointed? He said he could tell on my face when I responded to the question. I still believe that you don't quite know someone on the first meet so I can't quite say yet if I'm gaga over him. As of yet I haven't been enamored with anyone like they have been with me. Just kidding! :) Time will tell ...
I've had six new messages. Two are real cuties and had a nice profile so I messaged them back. We'll see if either leads to anything. I've had a few repeats that have sent me a message which is interesting because they keep writing the same introductory email and it's just as boring as the first time. Do these guys forget or do they just not know how to approach?
One guy showed all his chocolate loveliness (he was African American) ... he was posing for the camera with this dreamy De Barge stare. He had on this gold shimmer shirt with a white background ... yeah, picture that. He had a nice body, but from the photos, you can tell he was in love with himself. Another guy took all these "shower" photos - they were self-portraits with his iPhone ... gross! I'm deleting any and all come hither looks. Guys ... even if you DO have a nice body, I don't need to see it right away - I don't even know if I like you yet. Your body is not going to mean a damn thing if you're a psycho or a jerk!
No date plans until potentially Saturday, so unless something interesting comes up, I probably won't post for another couple of days ...

WG
Dinner with writer guy was good. We met at an Indian restaurant with a very nice and quiet atmosphere. Again, he's a lot better looking in person than in his photos. Does that mean going forward that the cuties aren't going to be as cute in person and those not that cute are going to look better in person? Interesting ... I only say this because I'm still somewhat leery of some of the guys on this site. I'm working on it and I've made some progress. For me having trust issues though, I'm pretty proud of myself for putting myself out there and meeting new people. I haven't been too entirely nervous just yet.
We sat, ate, and talked for about three hours. He said I was cute and he was having a good time. I said thank you, I was, too. We had good conversation and took it as a sign that the restaurant was closing when they started turning off the lights. lol He's a few years younger than me, but he's very well educated and although young, he seems to have lived a lot of his work life to the extent. He loves to travel, so that's a plus. He's a big movie buff, another plus. We talked about some oldies, but goodies and seem to have very similar tastes. He loves news, politics, history - me not so much. I like history to an extent, but news is just so depressing sometimes.
He's a door opener ... good - his mama taught him some manners. It was cute ... during our conversation, he kept twisting his words and said he was flustered probably because he was so nervous. I asked him why and said it was no big deal. I guess I've had so many job interviews in my lifetime that talking comes pretty natural to me. Essentially that's what this is, right? An interview?
When the evening was over, we talked by our vehicles for a moment. He said he had a good time and thanked me for hours of conversation. I told him thank you for the evening (he paid), then he asked me if I'd like to do it again sometime. I said sure. We're supposed to catch-up online tomorrow.
Comments or questions about dating? I don't know if you can really figure out a person on the first date. I think it's possible to get that weird, creepy feeling where you know you never want to see that person again, but what about if you're just not sure? What if you need a couple of dates to figure it out? At what point do you go all in or decide it's time to cash out?

Last Few Days ...
I finally heard back from AG Thursday night. He replied saying his boss was evil and asked how my day was. I replied, then that was it - no word from him since. He wasn't on-line Friday and none today, either. Maybe work is just really, really crazy ... I shouldn't worry. It's not like I'm waiting around for him. Yes, it's quite possible that he's just not that into me. :)
I spent some of Friday chatting with writer guy. He ultimately asked me out to dinner so we're meeting tonight. We chatted a bit online today so we're confirmed, just trying to nail down a place to eat. I really should stop setting up meets after yoga. I'm going to exhaust myself.
CDG bbm'd me yesterday and asked how my weekend was going. I told him what I had done and asked how his weekend was in return. We had a good banter going on for a few minutes then called it a day. No mention of getting together again, but the ball's in his court and I will patiently wait until he brings it up again ... I think.
Seven new messages. One guy says I have a celeb shot photo. Another guy is really cute, but didn't say much. He just wanted to know what profession I was in. I suppose if I strike out with my current prospects I can message him back and get more info. After all, he did initiate contact, right? Let's see ... this one guy writes that he's also brutally honest - and white. lol Funny. He gets points for being funny so I'll reply to him. The others I'm not so interested in.
Nothing more to report. I'll be back after dinner.

Uh oh
Today was a very busy day. It started off kind of slow in the morning. I started going through all of my messages again and deleting the ones that I surely didn't want to reply to. AG wasn't online so I didn't hear from him all day. As a girl I'm over analyzing wondering if maybe he was "hiding" from me online. That's ridiculous, right? Whatever - I'm a girl and that's what we do! Let's see ... I have one new email buddy who's a loan officer. I guess for consistency we'll call him "loan guy"? I have two new IM buddies - "writer guy" and my new Facebook buddy who we'll call "concert guy" because like me he's traveled to a venue just to see a band.
Now let's just see if I can keep these guys straight! Loan guy or LG emailed me a little. He's new to the site, too. Nothing terribly exciting there, but I thought I'd nickname him now just in case. Writer guy or WG and I talked online for a bit this afternoon. He used to be in real estate, got bored, and decided he wanted to write a book. Ehhhh ... he sounds sort of boring to me. Don't get me wrong - I love to read, but his book is about politics and well, that's just not one of my strong interests. He's traveled to a few different countries as well. He wanted me to send him a pic of me since my Doppelganger isn't too clear. I don't know. I'm not sure I'm into him yet. Yes I know, I'm being mean again. But really? A writer? I know ... I'm weird and you're asking "Well isn't that what you're doing here? Writing?" We'll see what he has to say tomorrow. After all I might be giving Cowboy a chance, right? Well I think I am anyway ... you would think I'd be a little more picky. I'm only potentially giving him a chance because his profile picture was cute.
Concert guy or CG from now on ... he likes to travel, likes to travel to specific venues to see concerts - points for that, and he owns his own business. While working for the man doesn't take away points, this is definitely a bonus. Extra points? Hmmm ... I don't know. It will depend on whether or not he starts to brag about his success. Time will tell. He asked me if I had a type. I don't know! I think I know more of what I don't like than what I do like. He said he would be interested in chatting with me later and to send him a text message (gave me his number). I'm honestly not in the mood for new people tonight. I'm exhausted from this week.
Out of State guy (OOSG) messaged me again today. He's a huge flirt! I told him I thought he was a player. He said players told lies to get into girl's pants and he's been nothing but honest with me. I suppose that's true. He's such a flirt though. I flirted back and for giggles told him that he needed to watch out because what was probably going to happen was that I was going to be his online buddy for years, then he'd fall in love with me and we'd finally meet, get married, have kids and live happily ever after. He laughed. I'm glad he has a sense of humor about that. I don't think he thinks I'm a weirdo - at least not a harmful one. It's sort of nice to have another outlet to discuss dates/life and not have to worry about being or feeling judged because he doesn't really know me. He's starting to get to know me pretty quickly though.
I've been asked whether I like AG or CDG better. Honestly, right now, I have no idea. I can't figure AG out and there seems to be this mysterious side to him. Forgive me, but damnit I like a challenge - it'll probably end up being the death of me. He's a brunette, too. I think I'm finding that I like brunettes over dirty blondes, but I'm not 100% sure on that yet. On the other hand, CDG seems rather genuine. It's still too early to tell, but he seems to have his life pretty well figured out. In guess in reality, who really has their stuff all figured out? I know I don't - I might never.
Well I sent AG a text message just to say what's up. I asked where he was today, if he had a rough day, glad tomorrow's Friday and have a good evening. No response. Maybe he's out on a date? lol Conversely, CDG bbm'd me asked me if I was doing ok, asked if I had an ok time last night and if I had any interest in getting together again and said he was completely cool with honesty. Yes, I liked him, I'm just trying not to get all gaga so soon. I'm still nervous about all of this. I replied yes and thank you again and to let me know what his schedule was like. He hasn't responded yet so I will patiently wait until he checks his calendar. I'm in no rush.
I now have some plans for this weekend, but none involving any of these boys. I understand CDG for having company, but AG ... I have no clue. O'well. By the way, I haven't seen any comments yet. Feel free to post your thoughts. Right now I've met both AG and CDG ... it's no competition by any means, but I'd be interested in hearing who has more points and why from someone else's perspective. :)

Misc Ramblings and CDG
What's with guys and their motorcycles?? Seriously? Many of the guys on this dating site have photos of them with their bikes, with their boat, or even better, they're wearing a wife beater trying to give the come hither look (GROSS). I think it should be a rule that I don't reply to anyone that has photos of them with their toys. The come hither look is definitely a big creepy no-no.
I finally cleaned out a bunch of mail I had from my "prospects". Doppelganger sure does get a lot of crap from weirdos. I saved a few thinking I would reply after tonight's meet. That's silly though, isn't it? The weekend is coming up and as of now I have zero plans. I went ahead and responded to someone. He's since added me to IM. We'll call him ... "Cowboy" since he's told me how much of a country buff he is.
So far Cowboy seems nice. He's new to the area - only been living here for about two months. I've been online with him for all of two seconds and he asks me what I'm looking for. I told him I was just browsing ... like at the mall. He proceeded to ask me if I wanted to watch a boot leg and grab a pizza. I'm down with the pizza, but a boot leg? I'm not ready for that yet - not with a total stranger. I'm not ready to be alone in someone's house with a potential weirdo and I haven't even given him my last name yet. He could be really nice, I'm just being cautious. I really should buy some mace ...
He proceeds to tell me he's a really good catch, not to toot his own horn. So I replied with "So am I." I don't think I'd start with that, but maybe he's just lonely because he's in a new place. Who knows? He seems nice enough. So far he's said I'm funny and wants to know when I can hangout so I can make him laugh in person. I told him I could meet on Tuesday at the earliest. Per the trying to make myself not so available rule, that seemed like the best day. Besides, I don't want AG to come back with another last minute meet.
We talked a bit more and he proceeded to mention that he's a good kisser. Well all right. Again, I don't think that's something you open with. I mean, if we're even going to get to that level, wouldn't you not want for me to get my hopes up? I'll tell you if you're a good kisser or not. Why would you want me to think you are and then be utterly disappointed if you're not? That hardly seems fair.
Some miscellaneous messages from the last couple of days: "hello,hello i like what i have readed and would like to know a lil more about you if possible." Ummm ... I don't know about that. I can forgive a bad speller, I'm not sure how I feel about proper English. I shouldn't really be so mean though, should I? One guy asked if he should dye his skin because I prefer Caucasian and he's African American. lol At least he has a personality! I also got a "You look fine" and my favorite ... " I can only imagine what it would take to please a woman like you! God help that bastard whos attempting to try!" Wow ... how is that at all relevant? By him sending me a message, isn't it implying that he's trying? There are some weirdos out there!
On the other hand, CDG bbm'd me confirming time and spot for our meet. Unbelievably excited I could hardly get through my workout without looking at the clock. I was running so late that I didn't even have time to shower. It's a good thing I don't sweat much! I had just enough time to come home, toss my hair around, do a quick towel bath, throw on some perfume, some jeans, and a cute top and shoes. I was only two minutes late.
We met at a restaurant/bar. He gets extra points for taking me to a place with grub. He had asked me earlier if I wanted to go to a restaurant in case I was hungry after my workout ... total extra points for being considerate. He also got points for having a couple of beers and allowing me to drink a couple of glasses of wine. I like wine. :)
He's about as cute in person as he is in his photo. He looks just a tad bit different, but he's still cute. I'm not sure what crazy hair style he's got going on, but he's got a nice smile, nice teeth, and some pretty blue eyes.
We sat and started talking about what kind of work I do. It turns out that the kind of job I do ... well, his company is getting ready to have a need for my kind of services. That's pretty cool. It would be crazy funny/interesting if I ended up working at his business. We talked about all the places we've traveled to with work. He's been to many of the same countries that I've been to so we had quite a few stories to share on that front. He mentioned that one of his favorite places/countries is the same as mine and he's been to just about every continent that I've been to ... way cool.
We got the why we got divorced talk out of the way. I was comfortable. We had a great "meet". He asked me what I was looking for on this site - why I signed up. I told him it was sort of by accident and honestly I wasn't "looking" for anything. I was just going through the motions seeing what was out there and that I was perfectly content being single. I wasn't looking for a husband - been there, done that. I wasn't looking for a "good time" either ... I was just out and about trying to be social. He accepted that. He told me I was his fourth date from the site ... that his mother actually got him on to the site because she had met a few people on there.
We ended the evening after a good two and a half hour non-stop conversation. I think he's definitely worth seeing again. Any questions, feel free to ask. I'm not sure I covered everything. I forgot to ask him what kind of music or movies he liked. Next time I suppose. Like AG he's divorced with no kids. We talked about his bonus points for posing with the dog and he showed me a picture of his "baby". All was good and positive. He said he was having a friend come into town this weekend, but maybe next week we could get together. I said that sounded good and he leaned in for a hug. It was a good, tight hug, too.
I'm looking forward to see what tomorrow brings with all this business!

He also got points for having a couple of beers and allowing me to drink a couple of glasses of wine. I like wine. :)
He's about as cute in person as he is in his photo. He looks just a tad bit different, but he's still cute. I'm not sure what crazy hair style he's got going on, but he's got a nice smile, nice teeth, and some pretty blue eyes.
We sat and started talking about what kind of work I do. It turns out that the kind of job I do ... well, his company is getting ready to have a need for my kind of services. That's pretty cool. It would be crazy funny/interesting if I ended up working at his business. We talked about all the places we've traveled to with work. He's been to many of the same countries that I've been to so we had quite a few stories to share on that front. He mentioned that one of his favorite places/countries is the same as mine and he's been to just about every continent that I've been to ... way cool.
We got the why we got divorced talk out of the way. I was comfortable. We had a great "meet". He asked me what I was looking for on this site - why I signed up. I told him it was sort of by accident and honestly I wasn't "looking" for anything. I was just going through the motions seeing what was out there and that I was perfectly content being single. I wasn't looking for a husband - been there, done that. I wasn't looking for a "good time" either ... I was just out and about trying to be social. He accepted that. He told me I was his fourth date from the site ... that his mother actually got him on to the site because she had met a few people on there.
We ended the evening after a good two and a half hour non-stop conversation. I think he's definitely worth seeing again. Any questions, feel free to ask. I'm not sure I covered everything. I forgot to ask him what kind of music or movies he liked. Next time I suppose. Like AG he's divorced with no kids. We talked about his bonus points for posing with the dog and he showed me a picture of his "baby". All was good and positive. He said he was having a friend come into town this weekend, but maybe next week we could get together. I said that sounded good and he leaned in for a hug. It was a good, tight hug, too.
I'm looking forward to see what tomorrow brings with all this business!

Boys, Boys, Boys
So check this out. This weekend AG added me to Facebook, right? I didn't really troll around too much. I looked at a few photos and found out that he'd been in a relationship recently as per FB. That's the thing about FB, huh? You really can't have very many secrets.
Yesterday I got a little bored at work and decided to read his wall posts. This is what I get for being nosy ... I discovered a message on his wall from someone I used to hang out with a few years ago. She doesn't exactly have the best reputation so imagine my surprise when I saw they knew each other. Talk about being bothered! It's too soon to bring it up, but I don't know if I can handle dating someone that's most likely slept with her. I have a friend that still talks to her on occasion, so I figured I'd ask her if she had any scoop. Lo and behold my worst suspicions were confirmed. They're no longer FB buddies so I don't think there's any way of her knowing we know each other, yikes. One of my friends says that the past is the past and if I end up really liking this guy I should give him the benefit of the doubt and ask him to take a " test". lol I don't know ... it's just such a small world.
Today was an interesting day. I woke up in a great mood, did a little workout, got to the office and chatted a bit online with AG. We talked a bit throughout the day, mostly work stuff. We're both fairly busy right now so we didn't talk too much. He did ask me if I was available tonight. Against my own judgment I said I was available. I need to learn how to say no - what's wrong with me? First of all I was tired, secondly I really needed to get my rest. Regardless, I didn't want to say no to the company.
He asked me to meet him at a smoothie shop. Yeah, ok ... that's fine. I was sort of perplexed because I thought that the second date was supposed to be more of a dinner thing. Again, I'm new to this so I really don't know. Maybe this is normal? Regardless, that's where we met. He bought me a smoothie and we chatted out on the patio.
We started off talking about work and our different jobs. He asked me how long I had been married for so I told him. We didn't talk much about his past relationships. I guess I didn't really ask much. I told him that my ex and I stopped hanging out and honestly what was the point? He asked if the divorce was my idea. Yes, it was. I told him about a time a couple of years ago when one of my client's asked me to go hang out for a concert and I had such a great time that it wasn't fair because here was someone I saw on a daily basis that didn't appear to be into me, but clearly liked my company. I was single, yet I wasn't. When you get to that realization that someone you hardly know wants to hang out with you and your spouse, well ... it's almost like he could care less ... what else was I to do?
Somehow we also started talking about finances. It was a light discussion, but we talked about emergency funds, savings, mortgages, his car note, moto note, etc. It was an interesting conversation, but we didn't get into too much detail. Overall he sounded responsible. We were only there a couple of hours and he did this "Well it's probably about that time." I wasn't sure what to make of it. There was maybe one uncomfortable pause, but we were both tired. I don't know what to make of it. I guess we'll find out if he we IM tomorrow. lol
On to another subject, I spent most of the afternoon IM'ing with out-of-state guy. He's way cute and ehhh I figured he sought me out, why not have a little fun? He made me blush quite a few times. He's a huge flirt. Called me "hun" and "babe" ... this is so good for my self-esteem! We had the most random wild conversation. Given that we'll probably never meet, it somehow felt like a safe zone. Somehow we started talking about my rack then he said since he knew my size it was only fair that he told me his. So I now know the length and girth of some random cutie online. It was pretty funny and no I'm not going to share! Well, not unless you know me personally, then you can ask and I'll think about it. The conversation got to the "when are you coming to visit?" stage. It was hilarious. By the time we were finished with our conversation he said "yeah, if we do ever meet there will probably be so much sexual tension" because we're probably both all talk. It's not that we made any promises, but he was asking questions and I was answering them honestly, so it turned into a little more detail that I had imagined.
Meanwhile, I bbm'd CDG and asked if we were still on for tomorrow. I'm so, so excited about meeting him. It's silly that I'm giddy like a high school kid about it. For all I know, he could turn out to be a real prick. I won't know until I try though and right now I've got nothing but positive vibes. On a good note, since I'm meeting him after my workout tomorrow, he said that we could meet at a restaurant in case I was hungry. I thought that was sweet. See? He's got so many extra points already.
I sent him a photo of me. Yes, it was a very cute and sexy headshot of me. That's one of my favorite pictures. I sent it under the pretense of "that's all I have on my phone" and "you need to know who to look for tomorrow", but really it was more of a "yeah, think about me tonight, lover." :) That would suck if it backfired and he decided to cancel. I would be so crushed!
Now ... what the hell am I wearing tomorrow??

Small Update
Another five new messages for the day. My favorite of the day is "I am trying not to be intrusive, but I am trying to get noticed by you" as he asks me to read his profile. Intrusive? Forgive me, but I thought that's what this site was about. With the exception of my profile picture, I am sort of putting it all out there for the world to see, right?
Analyst guy (AG) was entertaining last night. He sent me a text message asking me what my last name was so I texted him back, told him, and asked him if he was trying to stalk me. He said yes. ha ha He was looking for me on Facebook. He asked me to tell him his last name. I was in a silly mood so I replied with "Why? Did you forget?" and asked if he was testing me because I already had his last name from his IM name.
Later in the evening AG sent me a picture message on my phone and proceeded to flirt a little. He said he couldn't stop thinking about me; I asked him if he'd had a little drinky and he had. Nothing terribly exciting in our text messages though. I just thought it was cute that he was sort of drunk texting. It was mostly random chatter about how my family visit was going and what he was up to.
This morning cutie dog guy (CDG) sent me a bbm. It was surprising because I hadn't heard from him since I replied to his email about meeting up Wednesday night. Did I mention that I'm really looking forward to our meet? I was a little giddy when I got his message. He asked how my weekend was going, mentioned how beautiful of a day it was, and said he was out riding his bike. I know, you have the same question as me - Schwinn or Harley? Well, what do you think? Another guy with a motorcycle ...
If I've accomplished nothing else from this site, some way, some how I'm going to have to get on a bike soon!

Continuing On
Yesterday was a good day! The out-of-state cutie added me to IM and started chatting with me. He is really, really cute. He is now my Facebook buddy, too. If I'm ever in his parts and still single, I'm so getting together with him for dinner. I imagine he's a little flirt and he probably knows he's good-looking; he keeps calling me hun. :)
On another note, cutie with dog added me to his Blackberry Messenger (bbm) ... life is good! We've also been e-mailing trying to coordinate our schedules so we can meet up - yay! He wanted to meet up on Sunday, but I'm out of town until Monday. He suggested since I live so close to him that I go shower after my workout on Wednesday and we could meet up at one of the dive bars. I responded with a most definitely. What is it with Wednesday nights?
Back to analyst guy ... I forgot to mention that he sent me a text after our initial "meet" and said that it was nice to have met me and he'd see me online on Thursday. I replied likewise. After I got to work, he IM'd me and we chatted a bit. I told him a goofy story about my life and he told me he couldn't wait to know me better. I should have responded with you, too, but instead I replied with something corny. I'm partly nervous about getting his hopes up if I like cutie dog guy more. Is that weird?
I've received 9 new messages in the last couple of days. As an added bonus, now when I login to the site my profile says "Sexiest User". I'm not sure what that's based on, but something tells me it might be the number of messages I've received. I'm still trying to find the stats on this site. Sifting through, a couple of guys look really cute and I'd like to reply, but I sort of think I might have my hands full right now. If I end up liking both cutie with dog and analyst guy, things could get really interesting. I know, I know ... it's something I wanted (dating), but again, I've never really dated and I've always been a one man kind of woman so the concept is somewhat foreign to me.
The most entertaining message of the day goes to "If you were a new Sandwich at Mcdonalds you would be called Mcpretty" ... I don't even know what to say about this one. lol The guy looks weird, so I will be deleting this message. My other favorite is "you seem like a guy in a girls body." That was pretty funny and original. What he meant by that was that I sounded a lot like him in my profile. He looks descent in his photos, so I might message him back.
My, my, so that's three new potentials for the day. At least my social calendar is filling up ...
