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.

"Operating System not found"

This is currently what my precious little baby Sony laptop says when I turn it on. Do you think that's bad? Ha. I think it's rebelling against me for all of those times I have dropped it on the floor or stepped on it. Anyways, I have so much to update it's ridiculous! I even have a post I started at work on Friday that I had hoped to get out Friday night. So, please bear with me dear friends as I try to relay my crazy weekend dating stories.

In related news I am considering purchasing one of the new MacBooks instead of sinking a few hundred into laptop repair considering I don't need data recovery and the thing is 3 years old and has been through a lot. I've become an Apple addict since having the iPhone. Does anyone have one?

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.

Operation Man Hunt = Fail.

So, the first operation man hunt of the year didn't really yield success. First, my friend and I went to PJ McIntyre's in West Park. We never go out there so it was something new. The crowd there is very diverse in age. We found a spot at the bar to order drinks and were immediately prowled upon by a 50 year old gentlmen who was wearing a claddaugh ring on his wedding ring finger but told us he was divorced. He then gave my friend the MGD 64 t-shirt he had gotten for free from the MGD 64 girls who were wandering the bar. After doing a couple laps, we only saw a couple hot guys and they were with girls. So we decided to brave the snow again and head next door to West Park Station where my other friend was there with her bf and another couple.

While at West Park Station we ran into one of our old law school colleague's ex bfs. So my friend tried to make a move with this guy who was decent while his creepy friends accosted me. They were from a different world. I don't even know how to describe it, but just not my type. I decided to turn around and talk to the couples instead.

Meanwhile, this guy came over to me. An all too familar face. I'm going to call him the Creepster, b/c as his name suggests, he is the ultimate creepster. My one friend and I met him out on W6th one night. They made out, and he ended up driving us home. There was just something creepy about him. My friend never called him back. A few weeks later I saw him again at Ultra and he was by himself just staring at me and my friends. He followed us all through Ultra. When the bars closed we ran to Paninis to get a slice and he followed us there too. He was standing inches away from me when my one friend turned around and yelled at him "Leave her the fuck alone!" Anyways, he came up to me at West Park Station and was like, "Hi, I'm [the Creepster], what's your name?" And so I say, "Yes [Creepster] I know who you are, and you know who I am." He says, "I didn't do anything with your friend." I say "I know" and I gave him the look of death. Needless to say he quickly retreated to the other side of the bar, where I noticed he was, as always, completely by himself. Get some friends, creepy. Honestly.

So, we decide to leave West Park Station, and my friend was hinting to the guy she was talking to that she would love to talk to him some other time. But, he didn't ask for her number. She was very disappointed but I told her that perhaps he has a gf or something. Who knows.

Next, we traveled to Around the Corner which was pretty busy considering the weather. We grabbed some waters and settled into a booth. Man hunting is hard work. Then across the room we spot Mr. Dreamy. He is the current bf of one of our friend's friends. He is, as his name suggests, dreamy. This is the second time in two weeks I've seen him out and about- and both times sans gf. (If I was dating that I would never let it out of my sight!) So, in a very obnoxious and obvious way my friend and I positioned ourselves for prime viewing. Staring. Very rudely. I felt bad but friend assured me that Mr. Dreamy must get eye fucked all. the. time.

For the record, I think he noticed the staring a bit b/c he made a point of coming over to say goodbye to us when he left. Just rub it in, asshole. With no one left to stare at, we went home.

Oh well, there is always next weekend.
