"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??
