Begging Buddy

This is a LONG post about Buddy! I promise it's entertaining.........

This has definitely been an interesting couple of days.....Sunday I was propositioned to have a 3 some! WTH!!?!? Too bad I'm the only girl in my family and I never quite learned to share ANYTHING!!! SO VETO! 

Also on Sunday I had the "fortunate" opportunity to match with Buddy on Tinder. Poor Poor Buddy! 

Buddy messaged me first and seemed cool. We chatted about our weekend, what we do, etc. He asked about the rodeo carnival. (He lives in Alabama and was here getting a stem cell transplant checkup).

Sometimes I just feel that it's easier for me to post the conversation....just so you can get a idea of what I am really thinking.......

He said " I noticed you and couldn't help but learn more"

well that's a nice line......ok I'll bite.....

B: What do you have going on tonight?

Me: I'm doing laundry! I have zero clean clothes to wear to work tomorrow. (ok that is a lie, I had just gone to my mecca (aka the Houston Galleria) and bought a few things, and I had done my laundry the day before. I was just being lazy! Don't judge!)

B: Come have have pizza. I'm can't help you with laundry and clean clothes from here. (he was staying at a hotel by the med center)

Me: How long are you in town for?

B: Til tomorrow night. My flight is at 5pm. Come let's go walk around the rodeo. I'm bored out of my mind. (I don't really like the cook off or the carnival)

Me: You will just have to come back so we can. 

B: I'm here now. 

Me; I can't tonight. I have to get some work done before tomorrow. (also a lie!)

B: You are no fun. LOL. Make me sit here in my room all alone, with no friends to play with. Makes me sad. LOL

(I'm not amused and starting to get annoyed.)

Me; I'm sorry. 

B: I'm sure there are plenty of guys here that would take a very sexy lady out on the town. You need to stop doing laundry for a while and come see me. I can enjoy that smile while I am here.

Me; Rain check? (Take a hint buddy!!!)

He tries to sweet talk me more, "I'd come back to Houston more often if I knew there was a sexy woman waiting on me.....blah blah blah......

I tell him that my boss is texting me about work. (Again, a lie! I probably should have stopped responding, but then what fun would that be?) He tells me that "your boss said you need to come here and see me. You can't go against his orders. Your boss said you need to come keep me company."

Then he asks for my number......whatever, I'm annoyed but slightly entertained to see how much more thick he can lay the lines on......

He then texts me and tells me I am sexy (OBIVOUSLY! hehe) and he would kiss my lips if I was there. (One of many reasons I am NOT there!)

Poor guy tries to win me over asking if I am romantic and that I seem nice and like I will do anything for the man I care about. He then asks if he can put me in his suitcase and take me to Alabama. Then he says that he wishes I could come stay with him tonight. "You can wear my shirt and shorts." (I have my own clothes!) Then he proceeds to beg me to come over!!! "You will have your own bed. (I have my own bed at my apartment!!!)  I dodge that invitation with an "I'm on the phone" (you'd think he'd catch on, but no) 

Finally I tell him that my phone is about to die (lie yet again) and he quits messaging me.

Then Monday.....guess who texts me first thing........Yep... Buddy!!!

B: Good Morning! Hope you slept well. Wish you could come have lunch with me.

Me; Swamped!! (NOT a lie, I REALLY was!)

B: That's no good. I am done  until 2:45. Wouldn't mind have a sexy woman with me. (really!!?!?)

Me: ............no response......seriously...take a hint. I'm at work and I'm busy!!!

B: Must be real busy. Can't keep your attention. (Did you really ever have it in the first place!?!?!?)

later on....

B: I'm headed to the airport. I wish  you was flying with me. Could become mile high members. Haha!!! (ok by this time, he had sent over a current pic....no......just no.....)

Me: Have a safe flight.

B: Thanks dear. Want me to let you know I made it?

Me; (NO!) sure....

Then he texts me when he lands at like 8:30pm. (Clearly I was worried sick!)

B: Regret not coming to see me now? LOL

B; Guess not. Sorry

I just have no words. Poor Buddy! He probably thought/hoped I'd be dumb enough to come over and do whatever and he could brag to his friends that he nailed a girl in Houston....cause you know...he's a stud! Too bad for him I'm not that type of girl. I only meet guys in public places and there is ZERO going home with you on the first date. Call me a prude. I'm ok with that. Tinder is, if nothing else...VERY entertaining!!

So here I am.....still kissing (or not kissing) frogs......

Hypocritical D

Geez! Where do I start!?!?? It's been a crazy couple of days. SO MUCH DRAMA!!!

I hope you were able to read the blog about D last week. We went out to lunch, had a great time, etc. Everything was fine until somehow he found my blog. (I have nothing to hide. I  just don't tell the guys I am blogging because I want to see the real them. I don't want an act. I want to know the real person. Besides, I usually go on a lot of first dates. Very few get more than 1 date. No need in telling them about the blog if its not going to go anywhere, right? Plus, if I didn't blog about it, then none of you would know about Captain Underwear and that is one damn funny story!!!)

Ok so somehow this weekend D found out about my blog. (Hence part of the reason it's private) He text me and said "I need you to take that down IMMEDIATELY" When I asked why he said "for my own safety" (red flag). I took the post down....whatever.

Then yesterday this is the text exchange:

D: hey

Me: are you still mad?

D: I wasn't mad, more blown away.

Me: Why? It wasn't anything bad...I guess I just don't understand....

D: I don't expect you to

Me: Ok

D: I haven't lived a traditional professional life and putting things in there about military, Austin, where we met, etc put me at risk.

Me: So where does that leave us, if anywhere.

D: I don't know, the whole blog things seems odd and horribly impersonal and that you feel comfortable posting about your dating life is not at all aligned with me. It's just all weird.

Me: It's a blog about my adventures in dating. I'm an open person to an extent. Some stuff is off limits, and I get that. It's up to you, I'd love to see you again, but understand if you don't.

D: No, not interested, too strange.

Me: Ok, well best of luck to you! :)

D: likewise

D: It's a real shame. In the future you make want to tell people that you're "blogging" about them

So let me get this straight...YOU are online dating. I met YOU on Tinder. YOU told me YOU are active on social media. Yet YOU have a problem with me blogging about it because it puts YOU at risk!?!? What are YOU hiding!?!?! I understand that he likes his personal life personal, but telling me it puts YOU at risk!?!!??!!? Hypocritical much!?!? Now I'm sure you probably have an different opinion about this, maybe even agree with him and that's fine! But just the whole way he acted and what he said, just doesn't sit right with me. RED FLAGS being thrown everywhere!

I have half a mind to post his picture and contact info just so we can look for what he is hiding! But I won't. I'll be nice......for now....

So now my blog is private.....and I plan on keeping it this way. Unless Hollywood calls and wants to make a movie about this....

Looks like this frog is still a toad......

Date with A from Tinder

Last night I had a date with A from Tinder. (I know I said Tinder was shallow........) We matched last week and soon after were texting. So we decided to meet up for dinner last night at the Grand Luxe Cafe at 7:30pm (which is convenient because Grand Luxe is like a 2 minute drive from my apt).

My first impression of him is that he was cute, he was wearing gray jeans though (so NOT a fan of gray jeans). He had a nice deep voice!!! We hugged hello, went in and were immediately seated. He was super easy to talk to. We talked about our day (mine was INSANE with travel nightmares!). He used to work in Dallas for a physician's recruiting firm so we shared crazy stories and travel woes. He asked me why I don't drink. I told him that if he knew me better he would know that I act like a fool normally, so don't need to add the alcohol. (I mean we all know how graceful I am!)

We talked about our families. He is an only child. (You are familiar with the brothers). He has 2 kids, a girl and a boy. His daughter is 7, his son is 4. He bought his daughter (and her friend) Taylor Swift tickets for her birthday! We talked about his ex and how well they get along because its all about the kids. (His ex has a key to his house and vice versa.)

We talked about shared interests. He likes NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) racing. (I have gone to so many drag races I can't even tell you!) Typical guy, likes sports and fast cars! We talked about the Urban Slide coming to Houston. All kinds of random stuff.

After dinner, we shared dessert (warm butter cake) and we left. He walked me to my car and he asked about Justin (my Jetta). He said volkswagens were quality made cars. (made Justin happy!) We hugged and he said we should do it again. I agreed. All in all, it was a good first Tinder date. We shall see.

And for you M fans: HE IS STILL AROUND! I have had so many questions about him. He has been very busy with his kids and I respect that. I am hoping we can go out again soon. 

Until then, I am still kissing frogs....
