Crazy Curious

So now that I am in a relationship Curious has decided he is interested again.....LOL! It's like he wants the challenge or something....I can't figure it out. Now he is back to e-mailing me and stopping by our office all the time again! I have come to the conclusion that he is a wack job - still nice but definitely a wack job! He went to Vegas this week with some girl and he actually sent me a message that he wants me to be jealous of that.....I about fell out of my chair laughing and then my boss of course wants to know what's so funny....then she about died laughing too! I could care less about what he does or if he's dating anyone. So he will continue to keep stopping by I'm sure and I'll continue to keep laughing at Crazy Curious~

Magical Weekend!

What an amazing weekend! Friday night DD came down to see me....we had plans to go out to a movie after I got off work but my asthma was acting up so he came down and we just rented a movie instead. Loved a night in relaxing and cuddling! He is so caring and sweet.....always seeing if there is anything that he can do for me.

Saturday I went up to his house, meet his Mom and his dogs too! His Mom is very nice and sweet! We took his dogs for a walk, watched the sunset, had dinner and ran a few errands. We also went to Fashion Island and saw the big Christmas Tree there....sat on a bench and just talked and people watched. It was the perfect night! When we got back to his house we decorated his tree....or more like he decorated it and his Mom and I got the ornaments ready. Oh, his Mom bought letters that were ornaments that are the first letter of your name for their family and she bought one for me too! I thought that was so nice that she included me with their family :)

Sunday I had lunch with my two best friends and did our Christmas gift exchange. My Disneyland pass had just expired so I asked for gift cards to renew it. I was super excited when I found out that DD had a pass as well! So we decided last night to go to Disneyland for a few hours! We had a blast! Went on a few rides, ate dinner and people watched again. I love that we can just sit on a bench and hang out....it's so comfortable and fun! We bought an ornament there for his Christmas Tree and the cashier said "Have a magical night" when we were leaving.....we both smiled and I said it's been a magical weekend....lol. Things could not be any better and I'm always smiling cause of him!

Awwwww......

DD drove me into work this morning.....save me time with traffic and then he'll take me home after...so sweet! After being at my desk for two minutes I got a text from him saying "you look really beautiful this morning" - totally made my day :)

He just amazes me in so many ways....it feels like we have been together forever.....that things just flow with us, so comfortable and we both share what's on our minds. There is no worry about anything or holding something back cause we're afraid we might say the wrong thing......we are both able to say whatever is on our minds and it's such a great feeling finally! I'm so excited to see where things go.....there is potential for something great with him!

Updates....

So never met Aquaman....I met DD earlier that week and we totally hit it off! I sent a message to Aquaman letting him know that I had met someone and was canceling our meeting. He sent back a very nice message saying that he actually met someone too so that worked out well!

Back to DD :) He is just amazing in so many ways! I have a really good feeling about him but still kinda have my wall up to protect myself....just bad track record this past year! I don't get that feeling at all about him...he is always letting me know how he is feeling and what is on his mind. It's so different and awesome for a change! We're both always looking forward to the next time we can see each other. He's always letting me know that he's thinking of me. He is such a gentleman and old-fashioned which I love! Last night he came over for dinner, met my brother, and then he paid for dinner for my Dad, brother and us too! It was so sweet and thoughtful of him....we had a fun dinner with some of my family! I'm really excited to see where things go with us and am very hopeful....I was starting to give up on dating and just be over it for a while but he changed that for me :)

Amazing!

I got this text message today from a number I didn't know and it says...

"Hey it's "Apples", new phone number is....."

So I replied with "U can delete my number now...."

His response "Wow ok"

I kind of wanted to reply back with "why do you even need my number?" but not worth my time!

Double Dimples!

So I'm bummed I already used the name "dimples" before since I met someone new who has dimples on both cheeks! My boss and I were trying to come up with a name for this guy and we came up with "Double Dimples" or DD!

A little history about DD....he messaged me on the not so premier site....I almost didn't reply cause his message was short but after reading his profile I decided that I would. I really liked what he had to say, how he's here to date and for a relationship, not into games, wants a future, is into family and has two dogs :) He lives pretty close too which is nice. We've been messaging back and forth all the time.....he texts me in the morning and night and is just so aware of things. We pretty much have the same views about dating....hate it! LOL! We're both very open, honest and up front about things which is amazing! Both of our friends have been telling us that we're too open from the get go and felt that someone out there will appreciate it and understand it. Well, we both feel that we totally understand that about each other and are really excited about that!

We are meeting tonight for the first time....but it feels like we've known each other for longer. We talked on the phone for over 2 hours last night and I was up late....very late compared to my bedtime during the week....lol. I'm really excited for DD.....I was excited for Apples but this is just different....hard to explain but amazing so far :)

Photo guy...kinda weird!

He's just kinda creeping me out.....haven't heard from him since the other day and he messages me on-line and wants to talk photo stuff....that's great and all but there's more to me then just photography.....lol. Yeah, kinda over it and maybe getting to know him.

Oh, can I say "kinda" any more? ;)

This is a good one!

Just got a message from some guy that said "Okay lets get married"

Thanks for the laugh dude!

Oh, this is starting to annoy me....guys can add you as a favorite and I then always remove it....but then they add u again....do they forget that they already did that and it didn't work?? I don't get it...if you already made me a favorite and then I remove you....get the hint!

Aqua Man!!!

So I'm kinda using this guy's profile name as his name here....it was longer then Aqua Man but I'm shortening it to that :) He sent me a message the other day and we've been messaging back and forth....he can compose a sentence (This is a challenge for most.....), seems nice, has a career that he loves (coaches swimming....hmmm...another coach...might be a half red flag...lol). Oh he has his Master's degree too and lives really close. He asked yesterday if I wanted to meet up this week sometime and we have it planned for Friday night. I told him I can't stay out too late cause I have a 7 AM flight on Saturday morning to go to Seattle and he said that was fine cause he had to get up early the next day as well. Not sure where we are going or what yet but at least he is a planner :)

Feel free to leave comments....

Please feel free to leave comments on my posts....if you want to hear more about someone in particular or just random questions :)

Photography Stalker = Photo Guy!

I'm turning photography stalker into "photo guy"! We ended up chatting on-line for a while last night and he is really nice! He is really into photography just like I am so it was fun chatting about pictures and where we have been before to take pics. We friended on FB and I stalked for a while....lol.... and I'm still talking to him so I guess he passed that test. He lives a good half hour away which is fine with no traffic but there is always traffic to where he lives. He works a lot to so not too keen on that....just makes it difficult sometimes. We'll see what happens with him and when/if we meet up sometime.....Oh and his name starts with a "J"! Dimples and Apples name started with a "J" too....this could get confusing!

Photography Stalker!

So in the past hour I have received 5 new messages from guys on the not so premier site. Only one worth replying too....haha! He sent me a message asking what photography equipment I use...that was it. So I sent a basic reply back....and he replied right away asking what equipment I have....does all he care about is my camera?? LOL! Just seems so weird.....oh to top it off....I sent him a message before and he never replied and deleted it (you can see if a message was deleted...lol)...I guess he forgot about that...but I didn't....hehe!

I'm waiting for him to reply to my list of equipment....too bad I just couldn't attach an excel spread sheet with everything listed out....including purchase date and price....that would have been hilarious!!!

Wonder what his next message is going to ask??

Dating is tiring!

Talking with one of my really good guy friends tonight and sharing dating stories....he is on the premier dating site too and is having a heck of a time too. We are always sharing stories and laughing our butts off about some of the people and what they say or do....it actually is quite therapeutic!

So we were saying how we both have a first date with someone new this week and how tiring this is getting.....talking about the same stuff and just being awkward on a first date....both people are so nervous. Well he said this to me and I got a chuckle from it.....it summed it up pretty good so I asked him if I could post it on my blog :)

"I am almost and close to just saying 'screw it' and don't want to look anymore and go on dates with new people..it's sooo much work and effort and for what..just to have someone not communiate back with you and play all these mind games.....my tolerance level on 'dating' is almost out of fumes...lol"

Thanks D for summing it up so well :)

Apples is back in the dating scene....

So tonight I was showing my family some funny profiles on the not so premier dating site and guess who we came across....Apples!!! So guess the crap he told me of him not wanting to be in a relationship is full of shit! He's back on and it says he's looking for a relationship...... hmmmm. This is why I hate dating....all the a holes that lie to you!

We had some good laughs and thought it was so classy!

Blah is Blah...

So I think that is his nickname...Blah! The guy I met on Thursday night....that is his for sure his name....Blah! So when we said good-bye on Thursday night he said that we should get together soon and go to the dog park with our dogs. Sounded great to me....and even after texting a bit later that night still sounded great. On Saturday afternoon I texted him basically just saying that I hope he was having a good weekend and it needs to stop raining so we can go to the dog park soon. I thought it was simple and nice.....and I still haven't gotten a reply back. Guess I know where he stands.

This is what pisses me off....not the fact that he didn't reply but the fact that he said he wanted to meet up again and mentioned it more then once! If you really don't want to see me again then that's fine....wether it be no chemistry, we just didn't click...whatever it's totally fine but don't say that you want to get together again when you really don't!!! Why can't guys have the gut (I kept that G rated....lol) to tell you they are not interested or how about this dialogue if you are not interested:

At end of date -
Guy - it was really nice meeting you! (And NOT let's hang out again soon!!)

Is it really that difficult???

Hmmm.....

Came across this on a profile and chuckled.....needed that laugh on a Saturday night!

What you should know:
If you look at my profile and dont say hello, I wont care.
If you dont reply to a message I send or delete it before reading it, I wont care.
If you express no interest in me what so ever... wait for it... I wont care.

Dating online means that even a 2 or a 3 can be judgemental about anyone they come across.
If you want to really meet people from online grow some thick skin and be an adult if you dont fit someones high standards! How many of you women get hate email from people that cant STAND you've chosen to ignore them? lol

Why are so many women driven to write how they don't want men to contact them if they are looking for a bootycall or sex? Seriously? A disclaimer in your profile? Lol A real woman has figured out that men are driven to think about sex 24x7 it's simply genetic! A man that tells you different is a liar! Honestly what man would truthfully tell a someone they just want to get laid? If your're realistically trying to meet someone of value on here work on being a good judge of character then make a leap of faith, that the person will rise to your expectations!

Not so Blah anymore!

After meeting with this guy last night (I still need to think of a name for him.....) I'm not so blah about him....lol. He is very nice and genuine.....so down to earth and quite cute I must say! The pictures didn't do him justice compared to in person. He has a great smile and when he smiles his eyes light up....very cute! We met up and just had a drink and talked....for 2 hours. When he walked me to my car he said that we should definitely go to the dog park soon with our dogs....he has an adorable dog too! We texted a bit last night too so I think it went pretty good ;) I'm looking forward to getting to know him more!

Gremlin is in the house!

Gremlin decided to e-mail me this morning.....very random. All he said was "Have you won me the lottery yet??" If only he knew that my boss and I got a good laugh from it :)

Now I'm kinda Curious about "Curious"

So not exactly sure where to start with this one.....lol....but Curious is still persistant as ever and he has told me that he "will get ahold of me somehow"......I replied with you're so confident! He has always been really sweet and always making me laugh.....something about it makes me wonder about him. Not sure what's going on other then he will not give up. My boss has already said that I will cave...... break my rule of not dating a guy I work with and go out with him. I still don't know about that but I think she might be right.....maybe eventually. We'll see.

Blah!

So I'm meeting someone new tonight from the premier site and kinda just blah about it...not really excited but I got talked into still going just to check it out and meet someone new. It's so going to be an interview....on paper he looks great! But so far from the pics I have seen not super hot but decent looking.....maybe not exactly what I like?? I'm not looking for anything serious right now but figured why not go meet new people.....you never know ;)

Classic!

OK.....REALLY.......you only post one picture that is 2 years old and wearing a wedding ring??? I had to copy the ring part and post it as well.....and this was one of my matches on the premier dating site. Profile was archived immediately!

Love it!

So I was randomly going through some matches to find some funny material and came across this guys profile.....I have to agree with what he has said!! It is amazing how many guys can not compose a sentence or use spell check. So, here's his blurb....I almost want to message him and comment on how much I agree!!!! LOL!

Based on the ladies responding to my profile, it looks as though we need to set a few requirements. Let us start with these:
1) You are not homeless and you do not need to go to the library to access the (insert dating website here) website
2) You have a bachelors degree... this requirement is included because it seems as though a large percentage of the population can not put together a sentence. For the few ladies that think "wazzup" is a word, please consult a dictionary, if not for me do it for yourself.
3) You are some what attractive... I am not asking for something out of this world, but someone that does not need to take a picture of themselves from 30 feet away
4) Your profile does not contain a picture of you blowing a kiss at the camera... and if you have one please do not go and delete the picture just to comply
5) Has a career and actually can support themselves financially
6) This last item is a FREEBIE for most ladies on POF, except the one girl that keeps inviting me to ride with her on her motorcycle equipped with a side car. So if you have a motorcycle with a side car please move on, there is no way in hell I am riding in the side car and wearing those goggles you see in old photographs from WWII.

Finally, I hate to include this one but age. If you are 45 and above, I am sorry but I am too young for you and will not play the role of a boy toy.

WOW....that's all I can say to this one!

I don't even know where to start since I'm still laughing! Got a message from some guy and his screen name is "your chocolate".....first time I laughed! Then his message says this.....

" Just sending some luv to you to begin your week. Give me a shout sometime. Peace Dionne"

Peace!

Um....Nope!!

Received a message from a cute guy and it said this:

"hi, you are so amazingly beautiful. would you be interested in getting to know each other?"

So I read through his profile and his profession is "Adult Entertainer"......hmmmm, let me think about this for 2.2 seconds.....sorry, no! Just couldn't get past that he actually listed that but then again at least he's being honest!

Flip Flap??

I received a message from a guy on-line and all it said was "you're stealing my heart"......hmmmm......so being curious I replied and asked why/how and this is what I got:

well you are stealing because:
1-when I was going through your profile I reliazed how normal you are
2-There is no annoying, offensive, arrogant comments
3-How normal are you photos
4-I like your flip flap! :)

Flip flap....not sure what that is but I'm assuming it's the picture of me in my flip flops??? yeah no clue! Oh and this genius claims to have a PhD......HA!

Oh the laughs are already coming....

So, found this blurb in a guy's profile....

****** CHANGE OF PLANS *******Due to the retardation level of the majority of females on here, I WILL NOT message you first. If you come across my page and want to talk, dont be shy, message me...but please no one word messages. make it something interesting. I may check out your profile, if you checked out mine, but i wont write you first. I am all for chivalry, but women killed it so blame your kind! lol

Retardation level.....I'm still laughing!!

Few more details....

Just a few more details about Apples and what happened last night that I think you will laugh about.....at least I did. It's funny that he said that things moved too fast for him and I agreed but reminded him that he was always the one wanting to hang out at the beginning and I would push back but that since he was ok with it I went along for the ride. The thing that cracks me up the most is when I asked what his schedule was this weekend so I could get a few of my things back....like my beach chair, sweatshirt, etc, he said that we could meet up! Seriously, you do not want to be in a relationship with me but you want to still meet up with me?? Um heck no! I told him he doesn't get that option anymore and to leave my stuff outside the door and I'll pick it up when he's not there.....I'm still floored at this one!

So, I'm moving on with some good laughs behind me and hoping for better luck! I'm not looking to get into another relationship soon but will go out on first dates just to see what else is out there and of course for some good laughs :)

Hmmmm......just got an e-mail that someone added me as a "favorite" on the not so premier dating site....time to go check that out!!

Back to the Dating World.....

To make a long story short, things with Apples were different these past two weeks. I asked him last week if everything was ok and he said yeah. So I finally called him out on it tonight....over the phone none the less......and he said he didn't want to be in a relationship right now. I asked him did he know that when we first started dating and he said no which I think is total BS....I'm not stupid and have this intuition that scares me sometimes!

So now look forward to more blogging about my crazy dating stories and with my luck there will be a lot of them and no relationships.....lol.

Oh.....poor Curious!

He just doesn't give up!! He e-mails me all the time at work, still stops by the office and thank god the other day when he walked by there was someone already in here so he kept walking. As soon as that person left my boss and I just looked at each other and laughed....we were both thinking the same thing.....LOL! I hardly reply to his e-mails....but I think I'm going to have to be mean and just stop replying all together.

Now this is funny.....one day I was out to lunch and I guess he stopped by so my boss got stuck talking to him and he said to her "I wonder if she will notice if I turn that picture around" (meaning the picture of Apples and I on my desk.....). He is so random......poor guy!

Dimples......

I've been really busy and haven't had a lot of free time to update but will soon :)

So this morning I checked my e-mail and I had a communication request from the premier dating site......I had stopped all communication so this guy and I were matched back in the beginning of September....lol. When I logged on I checked to see who has viewed my profile and Dimples had viewed it last week!!! Really?? I thought that was so interesting and I want to know why he was checking out my profile....

Poor Curious.....

I thought Curious would have gotten the hint that I'm with Apples since I have a picture of us on my desk at work. It worked for about a week since he didn't stop by to say hello...but a few days ago he was back to his old self. He then e-mailed me today and asked how I was doing. I replied a while later and said that I wasn't feeling good and looking forward to spending a mellow night cuddling with my bf :) He then said that he thought I might have had bf (even though my boss did tell him I was dating someone) but he didn't want to assume. Oh geesh!

Then he asked why I've never said anything about my bf.....um hello, pic on desk in a frame and the guy doesn't look like my brother??? He then procedes to say "I don’t really get jealous, hardly ever actually, but strangely enough I am a little bit. It kind of feels weird, lol" Those were his exact words!! So I replied with "I really don't know what to say...." cause what do you say to something like that??

Needless to say my boss and I got a good laugh from this!

Apples & I

That's right....we are officially a couple now :) We spent most of the weekend together which is so nice since it's hard to see each other during the week. We just hung out Friday night....cooked dinner and watched some of our tv shows from during the week...love it that we watch some of the same shows! Saturday night we went to Oktoberfest with some of my friends and had a great time.....people watching always makes for some good laughs! It was so nice that we could be hanging out with everyone but he was still holding my hand or something to let me know that he was there....so sweet! Sunday afternoon we went to a pumpkin patch to go pick out pumpkins for us (he suggested it and was so excited about it....love it!) and met my friend and her son there as well. It was so much fun to walk around together....pick out our pumpkins and of course take a few pics together :) We then took my dog to a lake for a nice walk...there is a nice trail and it's about an hour walk. He's so cute with my dog and my dog is not too fond of most males so it's a good sign he lets Apples pet him already! We had some good talks during our walk and it felt so comfortable.....hopefully there will be many more walks and talks like that :)

Since Apples is from WA and I lived there a few years ago, we're already planning a weekend trip to go visit our friends/family. We'll go in December and already have most of the plans worked out....just need to still check in with a few people to make sure they are available and then we're buying our plane tickets!!! We're both so excited and it will be nice to have a little weekend trip together :) I'm sure these next 2 months will fly by and before we know it we'll be in WA together!

What a shocker....

So of course the Italian e-mails me last Sunday at 9:30 PM.....hmmm...no surprise there! Just basic about work......blah.....blah....and that was it! Guess he just wants a new e-mail buddy! I still haven't replied and not going to....I don't need an e-mail pal.

I'm just all smiles!

Today is Apples birthday...so "Happy Birthday to my Apples" :) I am totally gaga over him right now.....he came down on Saturday...I made my homemade meatballs and made us meatball sandwiches. My Mom was able to join us for a late lunch so it was nice that he got to meet her as well (she really liked him too!) Then we just relaxed for a bit....so full....and then we hung out with some of my girl friends. My two best friends got to meet him and one of them already gave me the "approval"....lol. She made a comment on how sweet and caring he is....that he was always holding my hand and making sure I was happy :)

Sunday I went and watched one of his games....he coaches soccer...not sure if I mentioned that before. It was so cute to see him coach....you can really tell how passionate he is about it :) We then went to the Galaxy/Chivas game later that night...my first pro soccer game! It was a ton of fun....we took our first picture together and it's so cute! I'm such a dork...haha! I already got it printed today at lunch to give him a framed pic for part of his gift tonight. Then in November when he's not coaching every weekend I'm taking him to Catalina for the day...he already guessed that one....lol.

I'm so excited to see him tonight to go out to dinner to celebrate his birthday! I just love spending time with him :)

Apples is just so sweet!

Today I got the sweetest text from Apples....out of the blue! He said "Have 2 seconds so I'm just saying hi really quick".......how cute is that?? Totally made my day :)

More great profile headlines.......

Had to share these classic profile headlines.....after reading these you're supposed to want to click on their profile....ha!

Stalker's E-mail

Oh boy......he just doesn't give up! So I got into work this morning and I had this e-mail from Curious (he had sent it yesterday right after I had left work).

"Hi!!! Sorry I didn’t get to talk to you more today, just been running around fixing random stuff and making pallets upstairs. I hope you had a great day and have a good night."

Still haven't replied....but it's just funny how it feels like we're dating due to that e-mail. I'm thinking he needs to get a "gentle" e-mail that he has the wrong idea and to kinda lay off.

The Italian....ehh!

So the Italian finally replied to my e-mail on Sunday night....what a shocker.....I think that is the only free time he has is Sunday night at like 10:30....that is the only time he ever replies to anything!!! His e-mail was short, to the point and didn't say anything about wanting to meet up. I have given him my phone number twice in previous contacts and no text, calls, nothing! I'm totally over it at this point....he seems way too busy and plus I'm starting to really like Apples :)

Still haven't replied to his e-mail.......maybe I will do that tomorrow too.....maybe.

Gremlin and Curious strike again...and again!

I think Curious IT Guy is my new stalker! Friday I left work a little early since I was sick and I guess Curious came by and was chatting with my boss. Somehow I came up in conversation and my boss said that I was dating someone (Apples)....whew! So his first question was "Where does he live?" Who asks that?? The only thing I can think of why he would ask that is if it was a long distance and then maybe he thought he would have a chance?? I have no clue....boys are weird! He likes to e-mail me all the time....I reply here and there....taking my time. Oh, and he stops by our office all the time now.....my boss so called it!!!

So yesterday when my boss and I were leaving work and walking out together...guess who comes walking up the stairs as we're leaving...Curious! I barely said anything as we walked by and I started laughing! My boss said that he turned around and totally checked me out as I walked away.....hilarious that she caught him!!! Oh, and then today, he walked by.....I was working on something, and my boss saw him totally turn around again to look at me as he walked by.....this is getting kinda funny!

On to Gremlin.....haven't heard from him in a while. Then of course I get an e-mail from him this afternoon saying "Got swamped with projects and now that things are slowing down, realized I haven’t harassed you lately. How’s the heat treating ya?" (It's been really hot here!) Maybe I'll reply tomorrow....maybe.

An Apple a day does make you feel better :)

Since I was sick last week Apples and I didn't go out on Friday night as planned (hence I was blogging Friday night too...lol). But we did go out Saturday night! I went to his apt and then we walked across the street for dinner and saw a movie....typical date but it was so much fun! It's amazing how comfortable it is with him and how well we mesh together! We have very similar needs when it comes to dating so that works out very well....we both love to cuddle :) I left late that night/morning to go home and could not stop thinking about him and how sweet he is!

I went back on Sunday to hang out for a bit....we were both tired so we watched some football, went and got dinner and then came back to watch the rest of the game. I might have taken a little nap....it was so nice to fall asleep in his arms :) I was cautious before but after spending more time with him I want to see where it could go....we just click so well together so far. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Another good laugh

So I saw this on one of the dating web-sites and couldn't resist not posting this blurb.....

"By the way, don't message me if you are a stripper, bartender, waitress, aspiring actress, a Scorpio, if you have a tiara on in any of your pics, or if you have implants, it just never works.

;)

Bonus points if you are petite, with tan skin, and blonde hair."

Really????

Getting closer to meeting the Italian....maybe?

So since the Italian was sick last weekend we didn't meet up. I sent him a message on Monday saying that I hope he was feeling better and all that stuff. He replied last night and gave me his personal e-mail....he said that he wasn't sure how much longer he was going to be on the premiere dating site. I e-mailed him this morning saying hello and glad that he was feeling better but now I was sick...go figure! His last name was in his e-mail address and it was quite obvious it was an Italian name :)

An Apple in an Orchard

A few weeks ago I received a message from the not-so-premiere site from a cute guy. His profile seemed normal and he actually put some thought into the message he sent me instead of the typical "Hi" or "You have a nice smile...hit me up"......it still amazes me that guys think I will reply to a message like that. So we messaged back and forth for a few days and then friended on FB and my stalking began on there.....lol.

We started chatting on FB for a few hours every night....found out he grew up in Port Orchard so he got the name "Apples". My friend and I have so much fun coming up with nicknames for guys :) So Apples and I went to Dave & Busters on a Thursday for our first date....when we first met he gave me the biggest hug and picked me up off my feet (so cute!).....we had a bite to eat and then went and played games for a while......it was a lot more fun then I was thinking....I was kinda nervous going into it...first dates are always nerve wracking! We laughed, talked and laughed some more....it was really comfortable considering it was our first date. It was getting late and I was getting tired so we decided to go. Apples walked me to my car so then I drove him to his and we said good night.......he is very sweet and gives the best hugs!

We text all the time which is fun and went to lunch the other day. We were supposed to go out tonight but I got sick this week so we might get together tomorrow depending on how I'm feeling. He is so sweet always asking how I'm feeling. We have a lot in common so far but I'm still cautious.....don't want to rush anything or get my hopes up too soon!

I hope to start feeling better soon.....third night in a row early to bed and not fun!

Prince Charming.....at work of course...sigh!

About a month ago on a Monday (Scary I remember the day of the week) I was wlking into work carrying a baked dish that I brought in for someone's brirthday. My hands were full and I was trying to open the door to cut through one of the buildings....so I had my baking dish in one arm and my security badge with other crap in the other hand....at the same time that I was opening the door someone was opening it from inside the building. It scared the living daylights out of me and before I could know what was going on there was "Prince Charming" saying good morning to me.....he had the most beautiful eyes and I was so caught off guard. If I haven't mentioned it before eyes are the first thing I notice about a guy ;) I think all I could muster out was "good morning" back.....I quickly walked to my office in shock....pondering who was this guy?? I had to find out who he was!

I got to my office and was all flustered....haha.....I explained what he looked like to my boss and she wasn't sure who he was either.....I just couldn't get over how good looking he was!! We later asked around and found out his name and what he did. We also found out that about every woman here is gaga over him....well duh! How could you not be??

So, I will continue to be star struck over Prince Charming whenever he walks by but that's about it :)

IT Guys at work....

So these two guys I did not meet on-line anywhere but actually at work! I would not date anyone that I work with so I guess I never get past the "oh he's a nice guy or cute" but that's just it.....nothing more since we work together.

We'll start with "Gremlin". Gremlin had helped me get my computer set-up and what not at work and then we found out we both had German Shepard dogs. I have two pets and am a total animal lover so anyone with a pet I could talk to for hours. We e-mailed a bit about the pets which was fine but then on a Friday right before I was off for the weekend his e-mail turned into "Here's my cell and personal e-mail......contact me this weekend and I'll make sure to reply" or something like that. I laughed....was shocked....and didn't reply. I didn't even write down his contact info. Really.....do you need to give me your personal e-mail and cell??

I went about my weekend and he kept e-mailing me the following week. Think he finally got the hint that I wasn't interested. I gave him the name gremlin cause he kinda looks like one....long, stragly brown hair in a ponytail and just kinda shabby looking. Nice guy to talk to about our pets but that's about it.

Next is "Curious IT Guy". The first time I met Curious he had to help me with something on my computer. Then a few weeks passed and my phone was dead so he was back to fix that. He came to the office when I had stepped out for something but my boss was still here. I came back a few mins later and he was almost done. So after he left, my boss said that he was asking about me. I guess he was sitting at my desk and said to her "what about this one (pointing at my desk)...is she married?" My boss said "nope" and that was it. I think that is when I walked in.....lol. Most of the women here are married with kids so there are not many single ladies in our department.

I guess later that day my boss and Curious were on some e-mail together and he asked her "Glad xx got fixed...now on to more important things....did she ask about me after I left?" My boss was laughing and called me over to her computer and I about died when I read it. My boss then said that Curious is going to be visiting a lot more lately....just watch! And sure enough she was so right!!! Randomly he will stop by.....hmmmm, this could get interesting!

The Italian :)

I was matched with "The Italian" on the premiere dating site....I'm just going to start calling it the premiere....lol. We were matched back in July!!!! The first thing that I noticed was that he was Italian of course (since I'm Italian)....it was so obvious by his name ;) I sent him the first set of questions and didn't hear back for a while....at least a week! The Italian is the same age, works in the same field as I do, loves to cook, family is important......seems great! I kinda forgot about him since it took so long to reply.....but we eventually went through the whole process....I recognized a pattern of when he would reply....Sunday nights around 10:30 pm! I'm guessing that he only checks it once a week ;) I knew that every Monday morning I would have a reply from him....lol.

So we got to the e-mailing stage and he suggested we meet up. I had just met "Dimples" and I didn't feel comfortable meeting and dating more then one guy at a time.....so I didn't reply for a bit...until a few weeks ago when Dimples told me he was going to go meet with his ex. Now I'm to the point where I'll go meet another guy at the same time to just see....it may only be one meeting...lol.

So, now the Italian and I are e-mailing to try to figure out when to meet up...this past weekend he was sick so we'll see what/if anything gets set up for this weekend :) I remember how excited I was going through this whole process last month so I'm excited to see how it is when we actually do meet up.

I'll keep you posted on the Italian :)

I don't even know what to say to this......

So my friend that I have mentioned before that lives in WA either was matched or came across this profile....she shared it with me and I couldn't pass it up.....had to post it!!! At first I was just going to post a few lines....but the whole thing was just incredible!!! So, I'm posting his entire "About me" section! Get ready for a good laugh :)

Not bothering with a description of myself anymore, ya'll just look at the pics anyway. Oh well, in any case, words do me no justice :P.

This place sketches me out these days. But feel free to write if you:

A) Have the ability to write coherently in the first place.

B) Are possibly interested in getting off the fkn computer and actually meeting sometime.

C) Don't have drinking, clubbing, or hanging out with friends listed as interests or hobbies. Nothing against those things, but they are not interests or hobbies. If you think they are, you need some real ones.
C2)Do not use the phrases "live life to the fullest" or "love to laugh" anywhere in your description. I'm serious. So cliche.

D) Are not a massive pro/college sports fanatic. Sorry, but in most cases I can't bring myself to give a sh!t who's playing/winning/going to the superbowl/world series/final four/whatever. I have little interest in watching grown men play with rubber balls in my free time...Call me crazy.

E) Are HWP and fairly attractive.
E2)Have pics where you can actually be clearly seen to be HWP and fairly attractive. I don't want to go out somewhere to meet someone who lists their body type as athletic and has myface angle pics, then be surprised when Fatty McButterface shows up. Hasn't happened to me yet but I've heard stories, heh. I definitely prefer some curves to the super skinny waif look but it's gotta be within reason. Notice curves is plural, just one big curve is not a good thing.

F) DO NOT HAVE KIDS. Sorry single moms, doesn't matter if you meet all my ridiculous 'requirements' but this one. It's a dealbreaker. Good luck with that and I sincerely wish you the best but I have no interest in being anything more than a friend.

G) Just want to call me a jackass for what I wrote here. I could use the laugh :).

Think I'm picky? Yup, typical perfectionist virgo

Are you still laughing....cause I am!!!!!

Oh, my friend looked up what "HWP" meant.....cause we didn't know...."height, weight, proportional" !!!!!!

Ok.....I'm still laughing!!!! Oh....the best part - he wasn't even the slightest bit cute or good-looking...HA!

A guy with "Dimples".....

"Dimples" caught my attention the first week of August on-line....on the more in depth personality profile site...hehe. He was very cute (dark hair, dark eyes....my fav!) and had a great profile. We went through the communication steps in about 2 weeks....about average I guess. We started texting each other on his birthday in the middle of August and actually agreed to meet up later that week for our first date :)

Dimples made plans for us to go to brunch that Saturday in Laguna Beach. Things were going so well during the week (texting, etc) that I told him I was going to go to the beach after and if we both thought things went well he was more then welcome to join me....told him in advance so he could prepare since he lived about an hour away. So met at this really cute place in Laguna....he was even cuter in person (Bonus!) I was a little nervous for some reason....but brunch went really well....conversation was good and it got more comfortable :) We then decided to go to the beach after!

So I took him to more of a local beach where there wouldn't be too many tourists and we were there about 4 hours! We talked, laughed, went down by the water, put sunscreen on each other. It was a blast....we grabbed some food real quick and then he had to get going to a friend's engagement party.

We both had said that we had a great time! The following Friday we went to a baseball game with a friend of mine, her son, her sister and her boyfriend. We got there early and had so much fun walking around and just talking. There was fireworks after the game and fireworks starting for us! It was just so much fun and I was starting to feel that there would definitely be more dates in the future :) So we kept texting, flirt texting (if that is even a thing...lol) and decided to meet up for dinner the following Wednesday. I met him at his work and we went to dinner and walked around this old town area. Again, so comfortable and fun! We sat on a bench for a while after dinner and just talked and laughed....I thought I could do this more often with him! He gave me a kiss at the end of the night before I got in my car...just a peck but it was so cute cause I was totally not expecting it! I was so excited about him!!!

Then that Friday I was off work early for Labor Day weekend so we met up for lunch. One of his friends actually joined us and I had a great time! Dimples friend was really nice and I guess gave Dimples the thumbs up....LOL! Well then things got weird with Dimples over the weekend....just totally different mood in texting. A few days of this and I asked if everything was ok and he said yes so I just left it at that. We then had dinner that Wednesday night and it was awkward...I knew something was off. We split the bill which was weird too! Then when he walked me to my car he told me that his ex called him and wanted to meet to talk. I only knew that they broke up about 8 months ago. I then asked why they broke up and he said that she left him for another guy. Ugh! Dimples then proceeded to say that he didn't know what he wanted and needed to figure it out. I thanked him for being honest and respectful that he wasn't going to date both of us at the same time. He then tried to put the ball in my court and I said No, that I was interested and that I think he's a great guy! He then said that we have so much fun together...blah blah was all I was hearing at this point as the sadness was kicking in. I told him to figure it out and let me know and that I would give him his space. So I went home talked to some girlfriends and listened to them that it's better now then later if it were to get more serious. Ok....so I kept telling myself that.

So the next day I texted him just saying hello and that I was thinking about him and that was it....I wanted him to know that I was still interested in him.....but I wasn't going to contact him anymore.....even though I really wanted to! The very next day he texted me TGIF and hope I had a nice day! So I responded with Hey there....great to hear from you...I wasn't expecting that and day has been good.....I left it open and haven't heard from his since.

So I have been assuming that he went back with his ex but there was still something that I just couldn't get over....we only had been on a handful of dates...but he was a great guy that I wanted to see where things might go!

Fast forward to today....I was thinking about him earlier.....I think because I had a dream about him last night....don't remember what the dream was about but I remember waking up and thinking about him. So today I texted him "Hey there....haven't heard from you so I'm assuming you're working things out with your ex?? Let me know...I would totally understand...hope your doing well :)" He replied right away and said "hey! I was just thinking about you. Looks like we are going to try to see where things go, so that is where I am right now to be completely honest...." UGH! So I replied with "ok...I was just wondering. Thanks and good luck". Why did he have to say "I was just thinking about you".....just makes me more sad when he said that in the same sentence that he's getting back together with his ex.

I am so bummed right now....I guess I really did need this closure. So, no more Dimples...sigh! Hopefully he doesn't get his heart broken again and hopefully I can find and date someone who actually knows what they want....HA! This now makes the 3rd guy in a row that I have been dating that doesn't know what they want.....why is this becoming a pattern??

Addition to previous post....

So I continued to read this tool's profile cause I was curious what other crap he could put in there and had to share this as well.....

"P.S. No offense but if your a girl that has a picture of you holding a beer and partying cause you think it makes you look cool then just move on cause I am not into the white trash party scene."

OMG.....I am dying laughing reading this!!!!

I had to post this!!!!

I could not pass up this line....I was eating lunch on my break and I got an e-mail from one of the dating web-sites that said someone had marked my profile as a "favorite".....very interesting. So I log on to check it out and remove it and this is the first line of his "About Me" section....

"First all, sorry for having pictures of me and my ex but I really don't have many pics just by myself"

I almost choked on my food I was laughing so hard!!!! My boss then asked what was so funny and she had to come see it with her own eyes....her comment "does he know he can crop a picture?"

Hilarious!!!!

A guy in San Diego.....

I couldn't even remember this guys real name at first so I gave him the name of "SD" since he lived somewhere in the San Diego area....haha! I had totally forgot about this date....must have been that memorable huh? Finally made it to the stage of meeting with someone for dinner on a Friday night....yippeeee! So we had dinner which was fun....lots of laughs through dinner, smart guy and funny. After dinner we went to the beach and walked on the sand for a bit....I love the beach so anything by the beach is just amazing to me! We had some good laughs and then decided it was getting late. Hugged good-bye and he said he would call me soon. SD said he had a busy weekend so I didn't expect too much that weekend...I texted him Tuesday night if he wanted to meet up for a quick dinner since I was going to be out of town the coming weekend and he said he was busy....ok, I got it. But a-hole, don't say your going to call when you don't plan on it!!!

That is so annoying to me! If your not interested then fine, say something like "talk to you soon" that is more open-ended instead of "I'll call you"...argh!!

Yeah so that was the end of that....it was so memorable that I forgot about it and couldn't remember his name for a while...haha!

Update to previous post....

So, the guy who has the headline "Here fishy fishy" sent me a message!!! His mesage was this:

"when you "fish", when you enter your search criteria, do I pop up on your screen? "

Really??? You send me that message and expect me to reply?? HA!

Had to post that real quick :)

Had to post these....

So I couldn't pass up these awesome profile headlines.....from reading some of them you can probably figure out what site they are from ;)

*Here fishy, fishy

*I put the toilet seat down

*Witty comment coming soon to be headline

*What you see is what you get

*Like 'em book and street smart

*I need a sexy brainy freak

*I am a badass!

*Really really ridiculously good looking

*Just looking for a fresh catch!

*That's what she said

*I've never been in jail

*Any women of substance left? (Yeah I'm going to click on your profile now....)

*Hope I catch a whale one day

*Swim a lap with this fish

*If you love it, set it free

These ones I thought got some credit for their creativity....

*Insert cheesy headline here....done!

*We can say we met in Paris

*We're not fishing, we're going sharking! (I got a good laugh from this one)

*I enjoy blah blah blah

*The guy above me is lame (probably my favorite)

I will have to do another post with a few lines from actual profiles....it's just incredible!!! But thought these would be a few good laughs to start off with :)

Maybe an East Coast guy.....

So now we're caught up till the end of June of this year. I was communicating with a few at this point and most will quickly get closed after reading some of their answers. For example, I asked a guy a question that basically asked about physical appearance and what not....his one line response was "Duh - I'm from San Diego of course appearance is important to me" I think my jaw hit the ground as I started laughing and closing out his profile! Really....you're on a dating web-site and your trying to win over the girl......not a good way to do that!

Ok, so back to "Jersey". We had gone through the process...blah blah....met up for drinks the first time. He was even cuter in person which was nice but also very sweet! I do think that guys that grew up on the East Coast have a different way about them. We ended up going out on 3 dates....nothing special...very nice guy and easy to talk to but nothing ever happened.....kinda like it just faded into thin air. No bad stories with Jersey....just was gone....lol.

I do have to mention something funny.....I have created a separate group in my FB chat window called "stalkers".....no joke! Since I like to always friend them first to investigate if they bug me and drive me nuts always wanting to chat, I'll put them in that box and then then never know when I'm on-line ;) Once I know if it's a no-go then they are deleted but usually hang out in the stalker box before hand.....kind of like a holding tank - HA! These poor guys.....

"One-track Czechy"

After a whole month of boycotting this on-line dating site I decided that since I already paid for it I should just use the services....right? So, I logged back on, turned on my matching again and said a prayer this time!

The next victim lived close and seemed to be a nice guy (again). We did the whole "communicating" process and decided to meet. We went to the pool and just hung out for a few hours....had much better conversation then I did with Blogs and he seemed way more normal. Oh, except for the fact that when we first saw each other he stuck out his hand for a hand shake! Yes, you heard me right, a hand shake....who does that??? Well I guess I wasn't really expecting a hand shake like a job interview but oh-well.

At the end we gave each other a hug and said we'll talk soon. We texted back and forth a bit and met up again the following week. He had lived in the Czech Republic for the past few years teaching kids English which I thought was awesome! Or at least that's what he told me....haha! We rented a movie and cooked dinner together....love that! But then it was obvious real quick that he had more on his mind that I did not approve of. I was ok with a kiss but nothing more and he just couldn't seem to understand that when I said "You need to stop" that it really meant stop what you are doing! It's like I was telling a pre-school kid over and over again that just didn't understand. I got the impression he wasn't too happy with me...who cares. I left as soon as the movie was over and we texted a bit after that and I stopped replying to his messages and he finally got the hint.....I'm not here just for hook-ups!

So here he got the name "one-track Czechy" as he had a one track mind and then the Czechy since he lived there for a while....LOL!

Two strikeouts with this site!!! Who's next??

A guy I named "Blogs"......

So, the first night of signing up, I got a request from someone. Hmmmm.....profile seemed normal (I'd only seen a few at this point...) and pics were ok....didn't get that "OMG...he's hot" but he was decent in the few pics he had posted.

**Note to anyone else on these dating web-sites....make sure there is more then a few pics on there and hopefully they are current pics ;)

We went through the initial question phases pretty quickly....started on a Friday night and within 24 hours later we were already to e-mailing. I was very upfront that I did not want a serious relationship right off the bat and did not want to rush anything. We eventually exchanged phone numbers in later e-mails, said we would talk soon and I then went out with a girl friend that night. Well, I guess "soon" in his dictionary is like an hour later! I got a text from him....ok, maybe not so bad so I replied when I could. We texted a bit and I went about my night.

Sunday morning, and I've now cyberly known him for what 30 hours, I get a text that he wants to go out to dinner that night and that he called in sick for work so he was available. WOW dude......really, call in sick to work?? I was at the beach and he kept pestering me so I finally agreed against my gut feeling.

I walked up to the restaurant (not one I would pick for a first date but whatever at this point....) and he was much shorter and did not look the same as his pics!!! I'm a really short girl, 5'1" to be exact, and he was barely taller then me which is fine, but don't lie about it in your profile....idiot! Oh and the pics were not even a few months old...more like a few years old! So annoying! Within the first 20 seconds I was already annoyed....not good!

Dinner was ok.....conversation was ok, it flowed but I was finding out how weird this guy was! I could not get out quick enough! I made up the excuse that I had to go pick up my Mom to get me out of dinner at the end and then he has the guts to say to me "Well, I can hang out while you go pick up your Mom and then we can hang out after"......I tried so hard to not laugh out loud! I said no thanks, I was tired and wanted to get to bed.

Home I went (I dodged a kiss thank god!!!!!) and I immediately contacted one of my guy friends to fill him in. We signed onto Facebook (FB) to chat....I told my friend that if this crazy guy signed in that I would sign off and call him. I like to friend request someone before I meet them in person to stalk their profiles....you can find a lot of interesting things on there ;) Well what do you know....crazy guy signs on and messages me before I can even blink! He is now questioning why I'm on-line when I said I was going home to bed....really, you are questioning me?? He is getting pushy, more annoying and saying things to make me really un-comfortable! He already wants to set up another date (not happening in my book) and is already treating it like a relationship....this guy has some nerve! His messages in the chat window are getting nasty and mean if I don't reply right away. Mean while.....I'm copying what he is typing me and pasting it into the window of my guy friend that I'm chatting with! And here the name "Blogs" got created!!! Blogs would type so much into that tiny window that I would have to scroll and scroll to find the end of one entry! Really??? Now I'm getting scared.....so I finally tell him point blank that I don't want a serious relationship, not with him or anyone. He gets pissed, blocks me and deletes me as a friend on FB = SWEET!!!!

Blogs wasn't done though.....he won't drop it that easy! The next morning he then texts me this long message apologizing for being rude the night before and that he really wants to be with me. Ok, now it has been about 30 hours since we have cyberly known each other! I do not reply of course.....

Oh Blogs makes another appearance.....he calls me the next day from a blocked number!!! I picked it up since I was expecting a phone call from an HR manager about a job. I could not get off the phone for 20 minutes....it could have been a 3 minute conversation....

me - I'm not interested in you

him - is the physical attraction there more for me then you?

me - yes!

Still, Blogs continued to apologize and I told him that he scared me and he needs to leave me alone! He finally ended it with "Well, when you decide to date call me".......sounds good - CLICK!

I can breathe now....but then I realize that he works for the cell phone provider that I have.....awesome! I checked my bill with a fine tooth comb for any changes and still do.....and god forbid he looked up my address and did something to show that he did.....that would not have been good!

So, my first on-line experience turned into this.....A guy I named "Blogs" and with that I boycotted this on-line site for over a month!! I turned off the matching and didn't even log-in....I was done!!!!

Where to meet people??

The big trying to date question....where do you go to meet people?? I work with mostly women and I wouldn't date anyone at work, I don't go out to bars that often and if I see a cute guy at the grocery store I'm not about to approach him....way too shy! Although I am getting a little braver so you never know what I may do....haha!

On-line dating.....another one of my friends that lives in Seattle met her husband on a popular dating web-site and I mostly have heard great things. But do I want to go through that whole process??? Well, I was talked into it. I wasn't planning to date back in May, but one of my friends said it may take a few months to find someone so I said why not, life's short and I will never know unless I take that chance. So, on an exciting Friday night I spent it signing up on-line and creating my profile....you know the one with the big personality test? ;) I was impressed with that and it seemed like there would be quality guys on there....hmmmmm!

And so the adventures began.....that same night!

The beginning.....

I have experienced quite a few funny adventures this year in dating and sharing them with my friends has been memorable....we have had some great laughs!! So, talking with one of my friends that lives in Seattle (who is also starting a blog about dating) we thought blogging our mishaps would be fun....and maybe sometimes therapeutic? LOL! I'll have to go back a bit to get you caught up but it will be worth it!

So, my past two relationships ended with the guys not knowing what they want....I'm starting to wonder what is wrong with me? I've been on the dating scene for about 5 months now. I do know what I want out of life (at least I think I do...) but I still have hopes to find my guy and that we can make each other happy :D This is my journey to find it!

Enjoy and I hope you have as many laughs as I have~
