i've been busy fulfilling my big personal goal of 2012 - go out of town once a month. i've traveled to shenandoah valley, las vegas, norfolk/hampton roads, richmond, NY, cancun, colorado, NJ, chicago, the keys, and cozumel. it's been great.
i dated a guy i met at the gym for a couple months. i really liked him, but things didn't work out.
for my 30th birthday last month, my sister bought me a subscription to match.com - probably the only dating website i HAVEN'T tried. and i've tried a lot, folks... this blog was born from one too many okcupid dates gone bad. people pay to use this service versus "craigslist with pictures" sites so they have to be looking for more, right?
(this cupid is NOT OK)
since setting up my profile on match, i've received a lot of "hi i like your profile we should talk" messages, which i absolutely DESPISE!!! please, let me know you took 25 seconds to read my profile and WHY you liked it. unless you're mcdreamy, i will click delete. i really hate that shit. you can totally tell they've just copied and pasted the same message to 100 women... blah.
anyway, i did have one interesting man message me! seemed legit while chatting via match, which graduated to him sending me a mix for my mexico trip and then phone calls. he has a car, a place to live, a job, and no kids... winning combination and harder to find with older men! we both like sports and the same music, sushi, etc. he's older and i looooooooooove older men.
for our date, he picked me up and we went to flying fish for karaoke and sushi. he wasn't the best at conversation - he talked more than listened, and would reply to my questions "blah blah and you?" i get a little shy when i meet new people and he probably did too. that's where the liquid courage comes in. i hang out with "industry people" so my tolerance for booze has increased rapidly. our sushi and bar tab was $200 and we didn't eat much sushi - HA!
when i've been drinking i tend to get more flirty, but at the same time i have a high expectation to be treated like a lady. so when R grabbed me and started kissing AKA lizard tonguing me, i didn't love it but i didn't think it was disrespectful. i'm more of a "kiss me when you're dropping me off at my car" kinda lady. no no... it was when he finally started asking me some questions:
"what's your bra size?"
"do you know how sexy you are?"
he also tried to put his hand down my pants. WTF seriously?
i had asked him what he was looking for, he said to
we will not be having a second date. i should probably not encourage drinking 11 jack and cokes either... but when someone else is paying, it's alcoholic buffet time.
that's all for now. i'm off to find more material. :)
