This afternoon I called World Traveler back to let him in on my thoughts about the date. I like him less now than I did before, but you’ll see why shortly.
Barista: Hello, how has your day been?
WT: Great! I went out riding. It’s HOT out there!
B: it sure is!
WT: but it was good. How is your day?
B: Just wrapping it up now.
WT: excellent!
B: So about tomorrow. I have to admit it was a little overwhelming – the itinerary and all. WT: I was just throwing out suggestions! We can do whatever you want.
B: well, for starters I won’t be coming to your house. I don’t know you well enough for that. WT: [laughing] Umm ok….
B: why are you laughing?
WT: I think you know me well enough.
B: we had drinks one time for 3 hours. I’d hardly say I know you. WT: you can learn a lot about someone in 3 hours!
B: Sure, but not enough to go to their house as a single woman by myself! Would you want your daughter (his daughter is 20) to do that?
WT: I wouldn’t mind if she did. But I guess people are different and I can respect that.
B: you really wouldn’t mind your daughter going to the house of a man she met once? WT: no, I trust her judgment.
B: but I know nothing about you!
WT: you know my name, phone number, you’d then know my address. You know enough to know I’m not a serial killer. B: How would I know that?
WT: Intuition.
B: Anyway, so I’m thinking we scratch the whole first part of the day and do the movie and dinner. WT: if that’s what you want, that’s fine with me.
We proceeded to make plans to meet at the theatre at 5. I’m glad meeting there was the option. He ordered 2 dozen cupcakes for Sunday and I’d like to keep that order, but I don’t really love the dating idea at this point. See why I like Mr. D so much? It’s easy. And fun. And no BS.
And of course there’s that great sex! How could I leave that out!?
But as much as I adore OUR Sweet Mr. D it’s not why I’ve disconnected from WT. He did that with his own special kind of crazy. He did it. I was fully willing to give him a chance until he turned weird!
I read this post before the one with itinerary. I laughed when you said he was a special kind of crazy, reading these posts I totally concede the title to him!
Yikes!
“but I don’t really love the dating idea at this point. See why I like Mr. D so much? It’s easy. And fun. And no BS”
Well, I wonder what would have happened if Mr. D had actually tried to date you. You found Mr. D online, you both texted a few times, then you slept with him the first time he came over to see you. No wonder you think it’s easy, and fun and no BS…he never had to date you before you gave him the goodies. It was easy because you were easy.
Now you have men who are actually trying to put in work to get to know you, and let you know it’s not just a casual thing, but they can’t get past “go.” Dating is not always easy, especially when you’re first starting out and not knowing what coming on too strong or too soft is.
I’m just saying…cut the guys who are actually trying to DATE you a little more slack. (And I’m not saying those guys should be WT or Old Dude, perhaps the next guy who comes along)
What the fuck is your deal?!
What is yours? Am I making stuff up? Or am I simply looking at things objectively?
You never have a single good thing to say. Not one. You only criticize and take these jabs at me. What the fuck is up with that?! I don’t get why you even read other than to point out the errors in things I’m doing. Who are you?
That simply isn’t true. But you’re too riled up to see that. So carry on.
I simply think it’s counter productive to compare all your relationships to the one you have with Mr. D. If you step back you’d realize that I’m not attacking you and actually pulling for you. But I guess my posts hit a nerve. Can’t really help that. *kanyeshrug*
NOT attacking me? I can’t stand to see your name because I know without fail you are going to take some kind of jab at me. You insult my intelligence at every turn. Do you think I don’t know that Mr. D (and the relationship we have) is not perfect or ideal or going to last?! Do you think I don’t know that STDs are a very real thing and would throw myself in harm’s way for some good dick? Do you really think I’m slutting it up because I let a guy kiss my fucking cheek on a first date?! You’re pulling for what? More things to criticize? What the fuck ever.
Yeah, I’m riled up. Too bad you’re all anonymous so nobody can attack you and let you see how it feels.
You said all that not me. I hardly put those types of extras on it. But whatever.
Bullshit. Now just go away, please.
