As 2008 has approached and year of the "rat" is also upon us I have decided to tell you the "tail" (rat...tail, get it? heh) of my recent dating excursions since January 2008.The first three men this year have all been from the same personals website. The first was a young man that took me on a date to a Japanese Steak House (he knew of my love for sushi). He seemed okay but I couldn't get three words in at any point throughout our date. Nor am I as into snow sports as he apparently was and I could probably care less about how he ended up with two of his sisters cats (I'm allergic to cats!). Maybe I should've told him how I had two pet rats...plus it's now even year of the rat in Chinese culture. So, I later left the guy a message on the dating site saying that "I'm sorry, we just...aren't a match" basically.
Guy number "Two" was very cute and fun (30-ish) but...not at all as intelligent as he tried to make you believe he was. Everything was going great, we even shared some kissing between us at the end of the date. He had planned to meet up again the following week but ended up standing me up instead and making an excuse that he had eatten bad fish and was tired...and bluntly stated so in his text message to me which was sent to me at last minute after I had just texted him. Besides...he didn't know what he was looking for, be it a relationship or a fling and I know what I want so, it just wasn't meant to be for us.
Number "Three" was a man close in age and we had so much in common. Unfortunately the things we didn't have in common were strong enough to out-weigh the good things we had in common. Although I wasn't crazy about him at first, he seemed crazy about me...but later the tables seemed to have turned. Unforunately he seemed more into being a "home body" and doing what he wanted than caring about what I wanted. So when he didn't believe in celebrating Valentine's Day "anymore" and I did care...it was the last straw and I had to let him go. If he thinks V-Day should be every day and not just one day out of 365 days a year...where were all my chocolates and flowers before? (ha-ha).
Last but not least this year is guy number "Four" and he's old enough to be my Dad. So far he almost talks down to me as if I'm unexperienced in life when he's a complete moron for doing so or perhaps even thinking that way?. He seems to believe their is some strong "energy" going between us but honestly...I don't feel or see any "energy" or chemistry or anything between us. He's such an idiot because he doesn't even remember having briefly said "hello" to me several months back and is claiming now to have just taken notice of me. Needless to say he took notice of me while he was on a blind date with someone else at the bar I always frequent. Saying how when he saw me he didn't even want to be on his blind date and how he would've rather been chatting and spending time with me. So far he keeps texting my cell phone with these messages...
"Lets not hold anything back lets go for it"
"Give it time...and lets be each others focus"
"I see a possible future with you"
"I'm going to make you happy...I'm going to show you that I am the one"
"You seem genuine...I sense a strong desire to connect and settle down"
"I haven't seen a woman like you in a long, long time"
"you're a good girl that's what I need, that's what I've been holding out for"
"you may fall madly in love...just warning you"
Is this guy for real?! (Heh). Do those pickup lines even really work?! Maybe if they felt more "genuine" to me.
