Date with D

We all know what a stellar time I had when I on-line dated last year. But at the recommendation of one of my favorite brothers, I got on the app Mutual. (I'm pretty sure it's a Mormon app, even though it doesn't say that.)

Anyways, I got on it and swiped up or down depending on who I liked and D and I matched. He lives in Vegas and was in Houston for work and thought "I'll just give it a try and see who I meet." Lucky him!! :)

We exchanged messages that night and then began to text the next day. He mentioned he had his 11 year old son with him (it's Christmas break, the kid flies for free on his buddy pass and so why not?!). He asked if it would be OK if he came along. I'm cool so I said yes and suggested we meet the next night (Thursday) at Jus Mac on Yale. (It's MACARONI and CHEESE HEAVEN and SO YUMMY!! You should go! I'd go right now if I didn't have my comfy pants on already! I might do Chick-Fil-A for dinner since I got a few gift cards for Christmas. Does my family get me or what!?!?)

As it turned out that Wednesday night, we both were at the Galleria! I was there with my beautiful bestie, Tiffany, her handsome hubby, Cameron, and their freaking adorable 3 children! He was there with his son ice skating. Crazy!

Anyways, we met up at Jus Mac at 7pm ish (Someone was running a few minutes late..I'll let you figure you who it was.) They both asked me what my favorite dish was.....HELLO ITS MAC and CHEESE!!!! I got the cheeseburger macaroni and cheese. His son, S, got the regular mac and cheese and D got the BBQ mac and cheese. 

His cute and talkative son took up most of the conversation (he even told me that he has a crush on a girl named K in his class!) I may or may not have given S my phone so he could snapchat away so D and I could talk. "Christi, look at this one! And this one!" It was cute!! S even made sure I had facetime so he and I can facetime! LOL!

The 3 of us shut Jus Mac down (ok it closed at 9pm whatever) and overall I had a great time. I would have liked to have talked to D more, but it is what it is. At least I know his kid liked me!!! :) D and I haven't really made any plans to see each other again, but we have been texting everyday. So who knows, I'd like to see him again (one on one) to see if he and I had a spark (especially since his son, S, and I are BFF)

I guess only time will tell. Until then, I am still kissing frogs....

Once upon a time...

So it's no secret that this has not been my year. To sum it up, I wrote a little story. Enjoy! :)

Girl meets Boy 10 years ago.
Girl and Boy stay in contact over the 10 years.
Boy calls Girl up and says "Let's give it a try" in December.
Girl agrees and Boy flies here the next day.
Girl has high hopes Boy is her prince.
Girl lets Boy move in with her (so NOT like Girl to do)
Boy "tries" to find a job. 
Girl fully supports Boy (flights home, new clothes, uber rides, phone bills, etc.)
Girl even pays for vacation/trip to meet Boy's family. (both flights, airbnb, scooter, uber, food)
Boy assures Girl he will pay her back. (if Boy was a man he would have paid Girl back)
Boy meets 2nd Girl in March and starts to date her too.
1st Girl finds out  at the end of May and questions Boy.
On Boy's trip home, Boy tells 1st Girl that SHE is the one he wants and is coming back to HER.
1st Girl stupidly believes Boy. (Boy wouldn't risk a 10+ year friendship would he?)
In June 1st Girl gets her heart STOMPED on. (20 years since Girl's last heartbreak)
Boy moves on with 2nd Girl.
2nd Girl finds out about 1st girl in August and contacts her.
1st Girl tells 2nd Girl everything. (1st Girl has NO reason to lie)
2nd Girl calls 1st Girl trash and takes Boy back.
2nd Girl even threatens 1st Girl and wants to fight her (are we in jr. high??)
1st girl blocks both crazies on all social media, texts, phone
Boy still tries to contact 1st Girl and calls her at work in October. 
Boy and 2nd Girl still talk trash about 1st Girl.
Boy is a FAT OLD UGLY TOAD!
1st Girl IS WAY BETTER OFF! :)
1st Girl hopes Boy and 2nd Girl each get what they deserve.

Now you might be wondering that 1st Girl would say to Boy. So I wrote a poem:

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
You destroyed a bridge 
And owe me money too!

I hope you are happy 
In the life that you chose
You are Peter Pan
with Pinocchio's nose.

You can talk all you want to
From so far away
Please come here to say it
When pigs fly away.

You'll never be a man
At least not for me
I'm just elated
That you let me be.


I think that I have written this blog post at least 100 times. It feels good to finally have exactly what i want to say out there. I know that this is the final stitch in mending my heart and it feels GREAT!!! Please don't text, email, call or message me telling to let it go. I HAVE LET IT GO! I started this blog to document my dating life (the good, bad and ugly) and like it or not, this was part of my dating life. 

Stay tuned for my next post in the next few days about  a date I had last week.

Maybe in 2017 I will resume kissing frogs......

Best. WORST.Date part 1

So I posted on FB today asking for your best worst dates. Y'all have gone on some awful dates!!!! This one is J's! (My commentary will be in blue)

"I used to work the firework stands with my parents. This one guy had waited 6 months to see me again and ask me out. So Christmas time comes around and he see my mom and asks about me. He shares his number and I reach out to him. He invites me to his company ball, I go along as his date and have a blast! Everyone rants and raves about how awesome this guy is. We ended the night with a hug and a promise to see each other again. 

The second date I agreed to meet him at the skating rink.  He wanted to do something fun and get back to our younger years. 

When he arrives at the skating rink he hands me a brown paper bag (grocery sack) and it contained a present. I thought it was sweet but odd to get a gift so soon. As I'm unwrapping the gift I start to have horrible thoughts go through my mind. It's a very DUSTY Victoria Secret box. Inside was a piece of lingerie that he sprayed with his cologne. I was in shock and at a loss for words. He said I thought of you and thought you would enjoy this.  

(Who in the world gives lingerie to someone they have not even kissed yet! And it's DUSTY?!? How long was it in his closet!?!)

I had to find a way out of the date. I had a friend call me and act like there was an emergency with my boys. I tried to make a quick escape, but the poor guy kept asking me if he could go with me. And then taps on my window and says I'd love to see you again. (Hello, she lied about an emergency to get away from you! If it was a real emergency I'd be pissed! And you bought her lingerie! No she doesn't want to see you again!)

It took a few weeks of not answering for him to get the hint. He may have been a great guy....but....

Poor J! Looks like she is still kissing frogs!
