Adventures in Dating

Sometimes I think, man, are there not any normal guys out there to date, but the fun part of it is that I usually have a good story about it if it goes really wrong after the fact. I know that most of the time I should just trust my first instincts but many times I want to be nice and give them a chance and blah, blah, blah.

Okay so one story, a guy invited me out for drinks, he couldn't remember where the place was, so I got annoyed because well I had already said yes when he told me where we were gonna meet. So sure enough I got lost and he didn't really know what to tell me. So then I get there and of course he looks NOTHING like his pictures, and why do guys lie about their height? If I am 5'2" I know when you are barely taller than me that you are no 5'8". So then we sat down, and I didn't actually get an alcoholic drink and he was questioning me as to why. Well this then started to be a game of where he was trying to fix everything that came out of my mouth, so I then stopped talking and was bored and getting tired so I started yawning. He noticed, which was good and said he would finish his beer and we could leave, but then he ordered another beer. Let's just say at the end of the night I extended my hand for a hand shake and he gave me an awkward side hug.

Another story, this guy and I talked on the phone, and he talked about how he liked to play piano after working out because it calmed him down. He sounded feminine, but I was willing to let that slide. He asked to meet up, and so I told him of a couple places and he wanted to pick me up, but I said no lets just meet there. This time HE got lost, so even though I thought I was gonna be late, he was ( I have hardly ever been on a first date where the guy had actually been waiting on me, the guy has always been late.) He seemed very feminine, but we had good conversation, or at least he did. He talked a lot which didn't bother me, but every time he asked me a question and I would start to talk he seemed to get distracted and I never actually finished a sentence. He asked me about going to a theater, he wanted to see Phantom of the Opera which apparently is playing somewhere. And then he became obsessed with my hands and told me "Some guys are about legs, some are about asses, I am a hand guy." Well he seemed more like he had a hand fetish. So then he asked me to show him around Downey, and he went to use the restroom. When he came back he had glossy lips. Okay so I am thinking, really does this guy not know he is gay? because I am reading all the signs, but maybe he just hasn't figured it out yet?

And then online, which this has not yet happened to me or I probably wouldn't have been doing much of the online dating thing, I got a pop up saying that someone wanted to chat with me. And it pops up and the guy's first line to me is "I'll give you $ for a BJ". What the????????? Um I clicked off so fast forgetting that I probably could have reported him and blocked him. But I thought I had already had a block up . And then another guy who stopped talking to me because I had not been able to hang out with him more than 1 every 2 weeks, and got upset when I told him I was seeing other guys sent me a message that read "Hey, if you ever want to get away for the weekend let me know, you can come stay over here and hang out with me from friday to sunday. Its not that bad of a drive but its a nice area with a tennis court across the street and all. I like your new pics, I wish I could of had that:( You still have my number right?" And I had only been out with him twice and never even kissed the guy. Oh it has been interesting. There have been guys that have told me it would be my loss if I never responded to them ( Which makes me not respond to them) and one guy even told me that Dr. Phil told him that we should be together. Makes you wonder where they get this stuff.

Now I know that I may not be the perfect date either, because when I am ready to be done with the date, I just want to get out of there. But really, I think I should start a book about dating memoirs. It is fun to an extent, but man I would love to be just done with the whole dating thing already. I would like to settle down you know instead of playing the field. But I can't seem to find the normal guys, or someone who doesn't annoy me. Oh well I got 2 more dates this week. So maybe I will have more material for my book, or maybe I will get so annoyed that I just stop dating altogether.
