I now its been like years since I have written anything, so I need to backtrack to get everyone who still reads this up to speed. Since Caleb, which seems like forever ago, I dated a guy from match, a Greek cop. Right off the bat I was a little 'eh' with him cause he was Greek, we all know what kind of guys Greek guys are. For those of you who have not dated a Greek guy, they are strange, possessive, strange, dominant, strange, genitive, and oh yeah STRANGE. This guy was very nice and maybe not as strange as usual, but he had his things that made him different. He had a fear of throwing up, anxiety when he got his hair cut too short, and he has never been skiing, diving, been on a jet ski, been on a horse, or traveled anywhere else besides Greece...oh what a shocker. He was also a little too metro for me. But, because this was the most normal, nice, gentleman like guy I had met thus far on match, I gave him more than one date. But once he got too weird on me like asking whats wrong just cause I didn't text back on a timely basis, I had to cut the cord with him. This was the first time I was actually bluntly honest, cause usually I take the ignore-get-the-hint approach, but this time I told him flat out that..."I was just not that into him".
After that guy was this guy I met at a bar that was an MTV producer. So right off the bat I was impressed and really liked him. We met a week before my Florida trip (12/6/08) and I thought we hit it off. Plus, the night he took me out to a traditional dinner, he wound up crashing at my house cause he was too drunk to drive home, ad we did NOT have sex. All we did was kiss the night he stayed over, so I thought I was hitting it up with the brownie points. I drove him to his car the next morning and told him I wanted to see him when I got back from my trip. He said he wanted the same and we parted with another kiss. After the "I had a great night with you" speech, I never heard from him again. I called him as soon as I got back and he responded with a text message that he was "sick". First off I thought there were some kind of rules with texting and calling. If someone texts you, its allowable to text or call back. But if someone calls you, its customary to respond with a phone call back....not a fucking text, that is a sign of shady in my book. So after about 4-5 days, I tried one more time to contact him...via text.. and I got the blow off text: " I am away for work, really busy, talk to you soon". WTF??? WTF??? WTF??? I don't get it, now being a good girl and not EASY gets me nowhere.
On to the next guy, an older wealthy guy from Palestine (but he was Cristian). He was a very distinguished older gentleman. I guess the Richard Gere got me curious. We met for coffee first and then he asked me to have dinner with him. We did and he paid and it seemed like a nice first date for once. He just seemed a little too cocky for me and always talked about money. Then the possessive needy you must answer the phone attitude came out, and only after 3 dates. He called me and if I didn't answer I got the text saying I guess your too busy to answer my call, talk to you later. WHAT?? Sorry but you don't have any rights after only 3 dates to question why I don't answer your call. Then I was going away skiing and told him I would call him when I got back, (mind you he was already talking about being exclusive, taking his match profile down, and wanting me to meet him mom). So when I called him when I got back from skiing he was annoyed that I hadn't called (which made no sense to me) and actually said to me in a text of course: "I tried calling you before you left, but you never called me back, this isn't working for me, I am going back to being single I like it better that way anyway". OKAY BUDDY!!!! This was the guy who wanted me to meet him mom after 3 dates and took his match profile down after 2 dates. I think he saved me the hassle and did me a favor.
Saving the best for last. The cruise.... I went on a cruise in December with a girlfriend of mine from my academy class, her boyfriend and her sister. I roomed with her sister and it was just a getaway cruise...not thinking I would meet someone...well someone more than a sexytime romance explosion....(thats a Borat reference that makes me chuckle !!) Also, I had MTV guy on my mind (I didn't know he was going to become a DOUCHE yet, he didn't drop off the face of the earth until I got back). So day 2 on the cruise I see a guy at Karaoke night whom I saw from across a crowded room that for some reason just caught my eye. Not just cause he was cute, there was just something more to him, I know I know sounds cliche but I swear he just had some kind of an effect on me. I met his friend on day 3 of the cruise and after drinks and chit chatting he tells me I should meet his friend cause we would really get along. So later I meet his friend and its the same guy from Day 2 Karaoke bar!!! Holy shit I was like "HHHHHIIIIIIII NICE TO MEEEEEET YOU" All dazed and confused and sounding like I just dyed my hair blonde.... His friend was right... we really did hit it off and well, he was my McDreamy and McSteamy !!!!! He was everything....cute, sexy, hot naked, funny, great personality, dressed with my kind of style, rides motorcycles, sings Karaoke, dances better than me, is in law enforcement, and OMG!!! he is a neat freak like me. (For all you girls who know how I'm OCD with being neat and organized, well he is exactly the same way).
He blew me away with being soooo romantic because since we both had "roommates" the only way to sleep together and be alone was his idea to put his mattress out on the balcony of his room and sleep there all night together, outside on a balcony of a cruise ship, spooning with the moon shining right on us and the waves crashing in the water. I can't put into words how awesome he was and and how awesome the nights went by being with him, we had so much fun together that for the first time in my life I actually understood what its like to fall for someone, it was true, genuine, LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT FOR ME!! They say when you know, you know, and for me this happened, I just knew. So the kicker in the ass is he lives in CALIFORNIA!!! I cannot have any worse luck can I. For someone who was starting to not believe in love anymore, he restored that faith in me, but he lives on the other side of the world!!! I was starting to feel so jaded about Love and Marriage, that now I know I could be happy with one person, stay faithful to one person, feel satisfied by one person.....but I can't be with that one person cause of geography!!!! I don't want to bore you readers with the sickening goo goo gaa gaa stuff, but I will go on to say that since the cruise, I saw him for New Years in Vegas, he came here in mid January for a long weekend of skiing, and I just got back from going there, to Cali, for Valentines day weekend. He got me a Christmas gift after only knowing him 2 weeks, he got me a Valentines day gift and a weekend of planned places he took me too. I got there Friday and came back Tuesday, he took me to Hollywood, West Hollywood, dinner in Beverly Hills for Valentines day, and 2 nights in a place called Catalina Island, which was beautiful. I LOVE spending every minute with him. I am very sad to say that unfortunately he is not exactly on the same page as me. This is only because he broke up with his ex (who is playboy model pretty and a fucking lawyer) in early November and went on the cruise with his buddy for the sole purpose of soul searching and clearing his mind. Neither of us ever expected to meet each other on the cruise and since then I have been in fast forward at 100 miles and hour, but he is taking it easy and putting up a wall cause he has been hurt (well we all have) but he has been really hurt (bad divorce, no kids). He told me that he has always been in relationships and that he has never "been alone". As we all know from experience you should never jump into one relationship after another, you are supposed to "heal" first, so I have to give him some credit with that, cause I know, speaking from experience, that it is very hard to do. So he is just not ,as he puts it, jumping in with both feet. I on the other hand jumped in landed on the bottom, swam up to the surface got out, dried off, and now I'm handing him the "can we move forward" towel!!!! I want him to want me, like I want him and he is just "not at that point yet". We had the talk that's how I know what he is feeling, I asked him point blank (of course I only had this kind of courage cause I was drunk on Valentines day in Beverly Hills...a bottle of wine at dinner did it for me...) So now I'm faced with the waiting game. Would I ever consider moving...yes. Would I consider living in California and transferring my job there...yes. Fortunately I have a job where I can do that, he does not. So him moving here is kind of impossible. I know I am thinking too far ahead of myself but he makes me feel.... everything your supposed to feel when it feels right. I don't know how long I can wait for him to catch up to me but I do know that he cares about me a lot and so far we talked about only sleeping with each other. I don't know what to say abut that, because you can't bullshit a bullshitter, I have minimal faith in a guy living that far away from being faithful. I know its my own trust thing but come on...how hard is it for guys to stay faithful when they live together and are married...here, in one state....never mind living in 2 different states and having no serious commitment to one another. I hate myself for turning into a dreamer, a girl, a vulnerable piece of shit that thinks about him all day and is always wondering what he is doing or if I'm on his mind??? What happened to Beyonce and living the life of a boy.... I lost it and I need to get it back so I don't go crazy and lose my mind. I am still on match till it expires which is Feb 27th. I wish I had a distraction, match has been a sinking ship for me so I don't know what I'm going to do next.
I hate match.com and all the other internet dating things, cause for me match has worked like my ass, which as we all know doesn't work :) I will keep everyone posted, I might have a date with a new jerk this weekend, he is the last of the last possible matches on match.
To be continued.......
