Boyfriend material?

Happy news to report! I got a new laptop! Admittedly, I am typing this at work right now, but it's still nice to have something other than my iPhone at home to access the web. It's been a long time since I've been without a home computer for 2 weeks. Anyways, I got the new aluminum 13" macbook and I ♥ it so far!

Ok, so now for the good stuff. It seems like 2 out of the 3 match.com potentials have officially fizzled out. Mr. Officer has been leaving me random facebook messages but no longer texts or calls. Weird. Also, MBA/CPA guy sent me an email on Saturday about possibly meeting up. An email? Honestly? On the weekend? Next.

Now, BL on the other hand - different story. Things are going well - very well - so well that it's almost scary. He may in fact be boyfriend material.

Friday - he made me dinner. It was really good. Then we went to a party hosted by his co-worker and I got to meet the partners in his firm and a bunch of people. It was fun. Saturday, I had girls night and he lives close to downtown so he offered a ride home if I needed. He was out at dinner with a friend and then went home to do some work. (The life of a Plaintiff's lawyer.) I had planned on getting a cab but I got way more drunk than expected at map and liquid and the thought of finding a cab at 2am was daunting. So I called him. When I got into his car he told me it was like I was drugged. I was fine at first and then I was just out of it. He had to pull over so I could puke out the door and he took me home and put me to bed where I puked on myself again so he put me in the tub and changed my sheets and put me back in bed. If that's not all he made me breakfast in the morning and stayed with me until 1:30 the next afternoon to make sure I was ok. Classy. I was soooo embarassed! Believe it or not I never get that sloppy drunk! I think I just got excited b/c it was the first time in awhile many of my law girls were out.

For the record when I say I'm not sure how I got so drunk I mean it. I only spent $10 and my friend "Bella" who I thought was buying my drinks only spent $10.

Anyways, what a great guy. I'm starting to really like him and this weekend he pretty much functioned as a bf. This is very scary to me b/c it's been 3 years since I've had a real bf. I also have only been seeing BL for a couple weeks now. I told him I like to take things slowly. I guess we'll just see how things go. The girls and I are planning a group Valentine's date at Momocho for couples and singles alike. I invited BL and he seemed pretty excited about it.

I really just wish there was a crystal ball for relationships that would let you know in advance if it was going to end in disaster. Wouldn't that make life oh-so-easier?

More updates!

I really hate to be so brief but I am crazy busy at work right now. I'm going laptop shopping Friday but I can't keep ya'll in suspense until then now can I? My love life in a nutshell:

Mr. Officer: Not much to report. This is very disappointing. Nothing but random meaningless texts all weekend. The last text I received at 2:48 am early Sunday morning said [Miss Fabulous]! so I wrote back [Mr. Officer]! first thing in the morning when I woke up. Not sure what that meant so I sent him a text last night that simply read, "You don't call me anymore = :(". He called me immediately. He informed me that "phone devices work both ways." Is he right? Should I have called him? I mean we've only hung out twice. I think the ball is still in his court as far as phone calling goes, ESPECIALLY since he is the one with the crazy sleep/work schedule. I've done my part by responding to texts and sending him a good luck text for his Friday soccer game. I am really just thinking the maturity level is not there. Boo.

BL: Lolita on Saturday was amazing. The food was great and I think we really had a good time. We went to Market Ave after for another glass and not only would he not let me pay for a thing but he insisted on dropping me off and picking me up at the door so I wouldn't have to walk in the snowy cold as there was no valet at Market Ave. Now this is where it gets interesting.... he has not only invited me to a party on Friday where several of his co-workers and partners from his firm will be (and they are "so excited" to meet me) but he has invited me to lunch on President's Day b/c I told him I was off of work. Planning dates two weeks in advance is a bit scary to someone who's last situation revolved around last minute dates and overall lack of enthusiasm. Maybe it's something I just need to get used to.

Luke: No, don't worry, you haven't missed anything. Luke is not a love interest (yet) but rather the new Br♥mantical interest of Brody Jenner. Yes, I predicted it. I'm so happy he won. I know it means absolutely nothing but I can't help but feel proud that I actually predicted a reality TV win from the get go. I think this was the first ever. In case you missed last night's season finale of Br♥mance, Andy at Wild ARS Chase always comes through with a great play by play.

Quick update

Not having a computer at home is really cramping my style. I do have some updates to share. BL had to cancel our Tuesday dinner/CAVS plans. He got really sick on Monday. Although this was highly unnecessary he insisted meeting me at Starbucks Tuesday evening for tea/coffee on his way home from the doctor. I think just to prove to me that he wasn't trying to blow me off. He also invited me to dinner Saturday. We're going to Lolita and that's all I know so far. Sounds good to me. Things are going well but he's already piling it on rather thick. This may just be his style and/or I'm just used to guys who like to play games and act like assholes.

I also hung out with Mr. Officer again Monday night. He, on the otherhand, is very hard to read. We have fun hanging out but I don't get any vibes that he is interested in dating. He seems very.... 24. He informed me the other night that he just booked a trip to New Orleans in late February for Mardis Gras with his buddy. His facebook status was consequently updated to something announcing his trip and also something along the lines of "boobies, boobies, boobies". Classy. I mean, he's 24 so what else should I expect? I might be putting him in the friend zone. I mean it doesn't hurt to have friends who are police officers, right?

I also have been texting/emailing with MBA/CPA but nothing to report. He sent me a random email two days ago that went something along the lines of "Hey, haven't talk to you in a couple days - what's new?" I wrote back, "Hey, nothing new here. Everything is good. I'm having a busy week at work and I can't stand the weather!" "How are you?" and nothing since then. I don't know if he is waiting for me to make a move and ask him out or something but I don't work like that. At least unless I know that I'm already possibly interested - but with this guy there is just nothing so far.

I just have to keep reminding myself that I met all 3 of these guys on match.com. Sigh.

When it rains, it pours...

Once again, the old addage holds true. When it rains, it pours. I'm talking about boys of course. So after I had a great date with Mr. Officer Thursday I almost didn't even want to get coffee with BL (aka Blond Law) on Saturday even though his email invite was really sweet. So, we met for coffee and chatted for a couple hours. He invited me to dinner and a CAVS game Tuesday and I agreed because I absolutely love going to games.

Later in the day he texted to make sure that I got a big TV moved alright. I had told him earlier in the day about going to my Grandparents to help them set up their new TV and steal their old one. I told him I had and then he inquired about my evening plans. I told him I was staying in with BFF playing rockband and drinking wine (nerds). I invited him to be polite but he was into it and asked if he could bring friends. So we ended up having a big party at BFF's.

BL and I went up to my place to watch a movie to finish out the night and he totally put the moves on me 5 minutes in. Yes, he did stay the night but I am happy to report that the panty glue is still holding strong! (This has to be some sort of record!)

So now I have this big dillema of being interested in 2 cute guys at once. And this after I've long since sworn off lawyers, law school boys, and all forms of law enforcement. I suppose it's not much of a dillema. I just have to remember how to juggle. I've lost my skills. Mr. Officer's schedule is so messed up b/c he works nights that it's almost impossible to schedule anything with him.

I also think BL might be coming on a bit strong. Granted I have technically known him for a few years since we were classmates but I hope he realizes that I like to take things slow. I have a feeling he's definitely looking for something serious.

I might hang out with Mr. Officer tonight even though it will greatly interfere with my Monday TV watching routine ie. Bromance. I'm not sure if he's worth it.

Operation panty glue = huge success!

(Written 1/23/2009 - but delayed due to laptop FAILure)

Well, my date with Mr. Officer went fabulously well last night. So much so that it was very hard to keep my panties the whole time, but alas the glue held. And while I don't think there really is any such product such as "panty glue" there is definitely a market for it (in my pants at least) and someone should get right on that. So the date started like any other, he picked me up and to my surprise he had brought a bottle of wine, as a gift. He said he didn't want to "come empty handed" and he knew I like Pinot Noir (he listens when I talk?). Granted, he really couldn't pronounce "noir" and he drives a pick-up truck (yes seriously, but it's a pretty new and fairly clean extended cab variety) but so far so good.

So, we travel to wine bar and grab a table right by the fireplace. I choose a bottle and we chit chat. Of course the first few minutes were a bit awkward, but soon we started chatting as easily as we had on the phone earlier in the week. When we were done he suggests another bottle, and I agree b/c well he's an officer of the law and I was taught to respect the law.

Then we leave, but I suggest we take in a movie at my place and open the bottle of wine he brought over (why wouldn't we?). So he pours the glasses and I search on Demand and settled on "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" which he hasn't seen. Well, about 2 minutes into the movie he kisses me. It was a really great kiss. I could feel the panty glue melting. We managed to keep it to first base though and I soon fell asleep right on my couch (a bottle of wine will do that to a girl). He must have helped me to bed and I find out this morning that he stayed up pretty much all night watching TV (he works nights) and he joined me in bed for only a couple hours before my alarm went off at 7am. So, while we did have a sleepover, I am just very proud of myself that I didn't have sex with him b/c I am really try not to be so much of a whore (no offense to my fellow whores of course).

So that went well. Maybe next time we can do dinner or something that doesn't involve quite so much alcohol.

Well, at least he won't steal my shit.

So, tonight is the big date with Mr. Officer. I think we're just going to do drinks over on my side of town. I may even invite him over for Rockband after at BFF's - I mean he is somewhat of a stranger, but at least he won't steal anything - right? :)

The happy hour event where I was supposed to meet up with Blond Law is not going to happen for me because of a last minute family obligation. I just emailed him. I suggested maybe a future happy hour date. We'll see what he thinks.

I talked on the phone (yes, with sound and everything!) last night with MBA/CPA for over an hour last night. One of the topics we spent the most time on? Women's purses and shoes. He claims he is an "expert". I'm thinking either he is A) gay, B) a sugar daddy in training or C) a really good son. He emailed today to tell me how much he enjoyed our conversation. No talk of any possible date, but that's fine - it's obvious he likes to take baby steps (possibly in pink patent leather peep toe manolos).

No, seriously, this is my life. I'm not making any of this up.

My 3 day online dating adventure.

So, I know Famously Single is going to hate me for this, or at least think I am mediocre looking or weird, but homegirl can't help but be curious! It's been over a year since my last brief match.com stint so I decided to give it another whirl. See, they have this 3-day trial membership, where you can cancel by the end of the 3rd day and not have to pay a dime, so I figured that I would just cruise for normal guys and bail if nothing looked promising. Well, similar to my last experience I realized that match.com is full of creepsters. I even saw many of the same faces I saw last year! (Actually, that's what some of them probably think about me!) Surprisingly I only found 3 people I knew in real life, and have only slept with 2 of them. I did, however, find 3 potential dates.

One of the guys, Blond Law, is a law school colleague who graduated a couple years before me and I never really knew him very well. He actually emailed me and we've chatted a bit. We are both going to an alumni happy hour Friday so we'll see if anything pans out.

I also connected with Mr. Officer, and supposedly we are going to go out tomorrow. I've talked to him a few times on the phone for more than an hour each time. Now, I know what you are thinking.... cops get a bad rap for either being assholes or crazy cheating whores. For the record I briefly dated a police officer - and he was a really nice guy even though it never developed into a relationship. The thing is that it's so easy for me to talk to cops because I dabble in criminal prosecution at work and I work with the police all the time. I know the lingo and can empathize over having to deal with crazy criminals. Bad news is that he is only 24 (that's 12 in boy years) but he's super tall and cute, so we'll see what he's like in person. I told him I would meet him for drinks. (Bonus: he also plays Rockband.)

The 3rd guy I met, MBA/CPA (because his email address is [initials]_mba_cpa@gmail.com) is not looking as good as the first two. I just can't put my finger on it. He seems a bit strange and is phone-a-phobic. He asked for my number, and I told him to give me a call, and yet he opted to text. He also facebooked me (got my name from my email) and told me he's a texting addict. I know Always a Bridesmaid has something to say about guys like that! It was also an awkward conversation. The more I think about it I might just nip it in the bud and not even agree to a date (that is, if he should ask me - via text of course).

Of course, I'll update accordingly as these potential dates play out.
