This is a old interest revisited. This summer, I met a hot restaurant manager and was supposed to go out with him, but he canceled at the last minute due to a "financial crisis". Haven't thought much about him until last month when I went to dinner with "The Lovely Couple" to Hot Manager's restaurant. He wasn't working that night so I didn't see him.
A couple weeks ago, I went back with the same couple to eat the yummy smores dessert. I didn't see him that night either, but apparently, he saw me. When I got home that night, he texted me and asked if I had been in that night. Told him yes. We had a long texting conversation that ended with we needed to get together. I didn't think anything of it because we didn't make any specific plans.
Last weekend, he texted me again and we set up a time to meet for drinks this week. Not sure why I decided to go, but I did.
He was extremely nice, very driven and just as cute as I remembered. I had a great time! We met for drinks and talked for a few hours. A relationship with him would never work - he schedule is insane, but it was very refreshing to go on a date that I had a good connection with the person, great conversation, etc. Sad that it would never work, but I finally had a good date which I desperately needed.

Alec Baldwin look alike
One of my dear friends set me up on a blind date with a friend of a friend. Before our date, he emailed a few times and was really funny in email. When he called to ask me on the date, we had a great conversation so I was super hopeful!
He picked one of my fav spots for dinner and I met him there. The dinner, as most blind dates do, started out a little slow, but conversation picked up. He reminded me of Alec Baldwin - looks and a little bit because he had a good sense of humor.
He was super nice and it was great conversation, but there wasn't any chemistry there for me. Not sure how old he is, but there were some generation or preference gaps. A little more ready to be settled than I am, he didn't understand how I had fun at the Black Eyed Peas concert, etc. Again, he was so nice and a great dinner companion, but that was as far as I could go with it.
Keep bringing on the set ups...one is bound to work out!

One Night Stand with a Greek god
I am embarrassed to post this blog, but it's a dating story so it has to go up. A few weeks ago, I went out with my new fun single girlfriend for a casual night out. She started the night with the statement "this is a laid back night, its not like we will end up a Johnny's or anything." Well...
Several bars, gimlets and shots later, our cab pulled up at Johnny's. I remember walking into Johnny's and the next thing I know I am sitting at Waffle House next to a VERY attractive foreign hottie (later I found out he was Greek). I have no idea how I met this guy, but I am sure I met him on the dance floor at Johnny's and convenienced him to take me to Waffle House. In my drunken state, I thought this would be a fun adventure and went home with him. Not smart or safe, but at least I was coherent enough to email my friend his address and condo number in case something happened. Please no lectures - I know this is not safe behavior.
When I first got divorced, I wanted to have a one night stand a true never speak to the person again). All my friends who had done this, warned me it was NOT a good idea. While I am single this time around, I want to sew all my wild oats and get everything out of my system. While very trashy, this is something I needed to get out of my system and the foreign hottie was my chance.
When I woke up the next morning, I was scared to open my eyes and hoped he was as hot as I remembered - thank goodness, he was. We went to Starbucks, I called a cab and will never see him again. When I was leaving Starbucks, he asked about exchanging numbers and I told him there was no need.
While I am not proud of what I did, it won't happen again. I felt like a total trashy whore the next day and that night has probably been a huge reason why I have been in a weird mood lately. I hope next time I think it is a good idea to go home with a stranger, I will remember how awful I felt about the situation.

Hotty Toddy
First, I apologize for the long vacation from blogging. I have been in a weird funk and haven't been in the mood to express what is going on in my life.
Last blog about Ole Miss was when I went over to his house on a Monday night to watch a movie and hang out. We texted back and forth several times after that but didn't see each other for a couple weeks.
I was out with girlfriends one night and we started texting back and forth. Combine drinking and texting and I get myself in trouble. We ended up meeting up and I went to his house late night. He was EXTREMELY drunk and it was a total turn off (yes, I know I am a hypocrite since I am like that on the weekends a lot), but I was already at his house and it just made sense to stay.
Even if I wanted something to happen nothing would have because he was so trashed. Maybe it was good I went over there because it showed me another side of him that I did not find attractive. Obsession over.
He has texted a couple times since then including on Vday. Not sure his deal...casual interaction and don't really see anything happening from here. Far cry from the first time I met him!

Bitter Vday Message
I will start by saying I have never been a fan of Valentine's Day - it's a huge hassle and stressor for all parties involved. If I didn't like it when I was dating or married, I knew I would really be annoyed this year. I thought it would be best to lay low this weekend, but didn't want to be confined to the condo for the entire weekend.
I decided to make a trip to the Leonardo exhibit at the High.
Ticket Lady: 2 tickets today
Me: No, just one
then I decided it may be better to join the High
Me: How much is an annual membership?
Ticket Lady: For a couple?
Me: No, single
I then head over to check my coat
Coat Checker: Only one coat today
Me: Yes (thinking, do you see anyone else with me and does it look like I am holding 2 coats)
I go to pick up the Audio Tour
Me: (hand the guy ONE Audio Tour ticket)
Audio Tour Guy: Just one for you
Me: yes
Really...
I normally don't mind doing things by myself, in fact, sometime I prefer it. Maybe I am being extra sensitive today.
Single ladies, also not a good idea to hit Whole Foods on Vday weekend. Every hot guy in town is with their model beautiful wife.
Happy Valentine's Day!

This spells trouble
Last Saturday morning I received a text at 10am that said "Did I just see you at Publix? I didn't have my glasses on" It was Ole Miss which I am now renaming Hotty Totty (seems more fun to call him that).
After reading my new books and deciding, why not follow them, I waited until 5pm and simply texted back "No".
Just as the books predicted, this kept the convo coming - maybe not in the best way, but at least he was still texting. The next day he texted and asked me to watch come over and watch the play offs. I following my new textbooks to a tea, waited until in between the games and texted him that I was at a party - sorry. He texted back immediately that he was hoping I would come over and watch the games with him. I waited until 1/2 time of the 2nd game and texted him sorry - maybe you should make plans before the night of.
Didn't hear back until Tuesday. He texted to say he was out of town, wanted to see what I was up to. Gave him so smart ass answer (of course waiting a while to respond). The next night, he texted back and asked if I wanted to do something. I responded back asking if he remembered my text from Sunday - he needed to make plans before the night of.
Radio Silence...until Sunday. He sent at text saying he knew it was last minute but they were cooking out and he wanted me to join them. I texted back that I was watching the grammy's with friends.
Ok...now getting to the point. I met up with him tonight. Not a good idea. I met him with the intention of trying to figure him out and it backfired and I am going to be sad about the situation again. He lives a few blocks away and I went over there (again, another mistake). Anyway, no closure and no figuring him out. We hung out with one of his friends and his girlfriend and watched the 1st James Bond movie. Only positive point was I found out he was out of town over the weekend which is why I didn't hear from him.
Trouble because, he is fun to watch a movie and cuddle with, he is a total challenge because I can't figure him out and I know he probably has alliterative motives. Anyway, good news, I didn't spend the night (yes, I making progress). I will let you know if I hear from him.
BTW...no mention of my make out session with his friend, but he did bring up a few conversations I don't remember AT ALL! Oh well...
