Remeber awhile back I posted about a guy who looks like Hardy of Laurel and Hardy? He seemed nice enough, if not a little old fashioned. Well he’s one of the never gonna be’s I’ve encountered in online dating…
Why’s that? Well, he contacted me around the same time that Super Guido did, maybe even a week or 2 prior. And we still haven’t met, and only spoken on the phone once. I think he was nervous, but after 4 weeks of emails (to which he’d take a few days to respond), I’m bored. And over it. Maybe it’s wrong on my part but…5 weeks of trying to ask & then plan a first meeting, and then when he did, I had to drive farther than he to said meeting. Um, no thanks. I’ve already forgotten you existed and going deep into Nassau county as you suggested, ain’t for me. You’re 32 y/o, time to man up a bit.
Next.
So the Saturday night guy was leaving LI on Monday morning. In an effort to live out Bold Moves 2012, I asked him if I could take him to breakfast before he left (I normally don’t work until 12 on Mondays).
He was enthusiastic about this prospect. We were able to keep up a decent conversation at the diner, though he again asked me several times if I’d want to see him again…& didn’t even kiss me on the cheek.
I’d see him again if we can negotiate our schedules but…the lack of confidence is a bit of a turnoff. He’ll have to plan his own date & stuff, prove he can man-up a bit… He has kept up texting me during the week, but we haven’t had much to talk about. We’ll see if this fizzles/fades or if it’ll surprise me…
Not sure why it took me this long to write about ‘em but here goes:
Saturday night guy-
Originally from LI, now living an hour from Bridgeport. Tall, dark hair, bright blue eyes…& doesn’t wear jeans, so he was rocking dress pants, shoes & a polo for our date. Acquired a bit of an accent from college/life off the island. Basically, Traveler but less complicated & actually into me. This guy was nervous, & I basically picked the date-spot…it was major windy or we’d have had a nice walk by the water.
He told me how at someone’s Sweet 16 he grabbed the mic & serenaded his crush with a BSB song; pretty sure BSB wasn’t cool by the time we were juniors in HS (we’re the same age), but props for trying?
The date ended kind of early, because he was nervous. Which kinda stunk b/c he’s on the continent & I’m not sure when I’d get to see him again….
Sunday night guy-
All he talked about was college. Nice guy but not for me…which was fantastic when I meant to text my BFF basically that same info & accidentally sent it to him.
Fail!
What made you choose eHarm? Curious. One of my friends met a great guy on there but I have heard mixed reviews.
Hey there, thanks for the question (it’s not the only one I’ve received, my apologies!These 12hour work days are really starting to kick my ass).
Well, having done a few of them in the past…I have to say that eHarm is more my speed. I work a lot, including 3 nights until 9pm minimum every week. This cuts out time for dating, as most people meet up after work, and also by the time I get out of work, the last thing I want to do is sit in front of a computer searching through hordes of profiles. As @dailykayla so eloquently put it, I just want to drink wine and watch my shows when I get home! lol
eHarm sends about 6-ish matches each day (you can request more sometimes), and I can handle looking at that number of profiles. 20+ is just too much like work for me at this point in my life.
Also, it was relatively cheap for 6months when I looked into it so I figured if I was going to do it…might as well save myself some dough. I paid $100 for 6months which I think is reasonable seeing as some sites are like $30/month-range. Like I said, if nothing else, tumblr will be able to belly laugh along with me as I continue to be the queen of the awkward moment.
Um. Guy from yesterday who can’t keep his dates straight? Just sent a text saying I was in his dream. He was painting my toenails. We haven’t met yet, but am I wrong to think this is abnormal?
Seriously, do I have to even meet this guy?
If no, want to come up with my excuse? lol Sorry but I would rather be single than be with someone I don’t like, I’m not a needy girl.
I think I’m pretty open minded but…I swear you cannot make this shit up.
So the eharm guy who I’m supposed to meet later in the weekend, texts me like an hour ago to say, hey can we make it a little later tonight? Im coaching after work, and want to go home and shower to be able to make a good impression.
I text him back, aren’t we meeting on Sunday?
He responds yes he made plans with his friend for tonight {insert man’s name here} and should probably text him.
I wanted to make a joke about it but refrained. Maybe I will at Starbucks on Sunday but yeah, pretty smooth. Not.
*Edit: BallstotheWalloch: Def sounds like it was meant to go to a female and not a dude friend….
“Is there anything crazy I should know about before we decide to meet?”
Hmm…intuition tells me the blog probably wouldn’t be something hott gym teacher would be happy about.
Just sayin’
I didn’t divulge anything and when I asked him a likewise question about himself, he said nothing he was ready to share. mmmmkayyyy…
…he said if I’d like to, I can come over to his place and we can have drinks and get to know one another.
I never drive after more than one drink, but that’s just me personally. My other rule is that I NEVER meet a stranger from a dating website unless it’s in a public place.
What an asshole.
