Just when you think...

Men are shit, something like this happens....

After a night of partying it up at my favorite Pub, my friend and I are on the sidewalk waiting for a cab. There are about 5 army guys (the haircut is always a giveaway) standing on the opposite side of the sidewalk. One of them turns around and says: "Hey, where you girls goin'?" Me, being the fabulous smart ass that I am reply: "Uhh, not to *name of nearby army base*". They laugh it up and come over and talk to us.

Finally a cab comes and my friend gets in. I walk home and one of the guys we were talking to offered to accompany me. I accept and we're on our way. He explains to me that he is a Sargent, and on course here for the summer. He is posted out West normally. We get to my place and sit and have another beer on my porch. We had great conversation and talked intelligently about a lot of things. It's one thing to hate army men, but I have a difficulty hating the ones that are actually educated. The problem's with the horny 18 year olds that got given rifles as soon as they got out of high school. He left at 4:30 am, asked for my number and I sent him on his way.

The next day was a big event in my life. My family was here to help me celebrate, and my roomate babysat my Mom's dog. She took him for a walk in the afternoon and when she returned there were roses on the porch. I came home and saw them, and immediately assumed they were from her. She said no, and that there was no name on the card.

These 2 roses were gorgeous and in a vase in an arrangement, none of these silly cellophane wrapped roses. I took a look at the card and it said congradulations on your achievement. I flipped it over and saw a phone number with an area code for out West. There was my answer.
From now on this fabulous cutie will be known as Flower Boy.

Flower Boy and I didn't even do anything intimate, we literally talked for 2 hours. He gave me a hug goodbye and I'm pretty sure I felt muscles under his shirt...*drool.

Hat trick!

So last week was a little wild for me. In light of celebrating a personal achievement, I went out partying 5 nights in a row. Ok, so it is not my style to get drunk every night, I can proudly say I got a buzz on all 5 nights. Someone send me the number for AA.

This particularly wild day, I kissed 3 different boys in a 24 hour period! What the hell!! I know I am not bad looking, and somewhat popular with the boys, but that was a bit much for me. During the day, Cyber-Cutie and I hung out being super lazy and watching movies in bed all day. Translation: lots of kissing. It was pleasant, and this all happened before we decided to let it fizzle out.

Move on to the end of the night coming out of my local favorite pub. I see one of the French army men that I so happened to have slept with on a random night. I knew him from before, he was here on course. Long story short, he was leaving to go back to Quebec, and I gave him a great kiss good bye in the parking lot. Classy, classy.

Fast forward to the time to walk home. Mr. Hat, we'll call him, is a friend of a local nightclub owner that I know as well. Mr Hat grew up a street away from me, and is older so we never knew eachother until our mutual friend introduced us one night. Anyway, he offered to walk me home and I accept. We're 30 feet from my Brownstone, and he grabs my face and kisses me. With tongue. Mmmm... cigarettes. He aks politely to use the facilities at my apartment, I accept. He walks into my room while I'm checking my email, and confesses that he wants to bang me. (SHOCKING, isn't it) I refuse, let him kiss me one more time, and then send him on his way...
Oh yeah, and he forgot his baseball hat here, hence, Mr. Hat.

Pink Stilleto's

My instincts are always right. I don't know why I ignore my gut and even bother to give anyone a chance. Luckily for me in this case, I remain unscathed. Sober Cutie found another "cutie" to entertain while I was away for the week. Can't say I'm surprised.

A few posts earlier I mentionned the online dating thing and mentionned "potentials". I finally ended up meeting one of them. We'll call him "Cyber-boy". So Cyber-Boy and I exchanged many many many words over the last 3 weeks. I have since cancelled my membership to the online site, but have remained talking to this guy on msn. We have talked every day for 2-4 hours eery day...without running out of things to talk about. I thought I'd give it a shot and meet him in person.

We arranged to go for appetizers and a drink at a local restaurant. As the online conversation, in-person went really well. We have since hung out a few times. We ultimately decided to stay friends because the timing is really off. It felt like it was falling on the fast-track to relationship-dom and barely 2 monthts out of one, I am not ready to take the leap.

Sucker on my forehead

So...I caved. Like a sucker that I am for a cute guy, I caved. After that incident of "not calling me back" Sober Cutie did, call me around 9pm that night, apologizing profusely and promising to make it up. Given the circumstances of tiredness, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and a second chance.

We have hung out a couple of times since in my Mom's basement... so cool.. I know. We just chilled and watched tv. Eventually we had a good makeout session, but nothing too wild. After the first night he called me the next day on his lunchbreak, Cuuuuute! haha. So bonus points for him. We hung out again that night cuddling and kissing.

I was away all weekend and returned to my apartment after a week at Mom's. It's good to be back even though it is temporary....

Flip-Flop

Sober Cutie asked me to go out for ice cream. He shows up at my house and then we go to the ATM. After the ATM he calls his best friend to see if he wants to come. Alright, I'm thinking wow I meet the friend already. So we go pick up his friend and head over to a reputable dive bar in the city. Immediately I feel uncomfortable as the only other chick there is the bartender. Sober cutie and his friends order wings and beer, and I just sip on a beer seeing as I wasn't hungry.

We make good conversation and everything seems to be going along just fine. Afterwards they head to DQ and get some ice cream, afterwards I get dropped off.

We have talked on msn twice and exchanged a few text messages since then. Tonight he tells me he's got this online poker thingy and we can only hang until 9:15 ish. Then I say don't bother because I am not interested in hanging out for a half hour. He says he wants to take a quick nap and then call me. This was all around 7:00 pm. Needless to say it is 8:00 ish now and still no call.

Tell me, does this guy think I am fuckin' stupid? I know he isn't going to call me and use the excuse that he fell asleep. Yeah, well take your poker chips and shove 'em up your ass buddy. This chick waits for no guy, and is not willing to be "scheduled in" like some appointment. He's tossed to the curb already, and unfortunately for him he's lost something great.

Nice knowing ya, ass hole.

girafe flats

Sober Cutie did end up adding me to facebook and msn. We chatted a little bit over the weekend but ended up doing our own thing. Sunday night I had my friends over for a BBQ, and Sober Cutie started texting me. He eventually asked me if I wanted to go for a beer at a local bar, which I happily accepted. I don't know how I feel about the whole text messages thing. I guess it's a cute way to know that he is thinking about me, but aren't I worth a phone call? It's too early to get all worked up about something like this though.

So we went to the bar, things went very well. We had good conversation, and seem to be on the same page about a lot of things. He admited to me that all his previous gf's were very pretty, and not so smart. He was trying out the smart thing for once, wait, does that mean I'm not pretty? hahaha..... The only thing that really worries me about this guy is that he is a serial monogamist. Always has a girlfriend on the go... should this be a warning sign? Or just a guy looking for love? Myself, I can't judge him too harshly on that because I do always seem to have some sort of male presence around me at some level.

I paid for the beer in a gesture of niceness, and sort of a test to see how he'd react to that. Some guys think GREAT, while others it sketches them out. He drove me home and I stepped out of the car after thanking him for a good time.

Digital shoes

Signing up for online dating, a do, or a don't? I recently signed up for a free dating website. I have been on this site previously and met a boyfriend. (not my last one, but the one before). I have this theory that everybody only gets 1 online meet that turns up to be great, the rest is not meant to be.

So this in mind, I signed up on a whim and as a cure for boredom. There were a lot of messages from randoms, some cute some not so cute. I ended up probably finding 3-4 "potential" dates. I've been chatting with this one guy and we seem to have the same sense of humour and he seems great, I have yet to meet him in person but it might happen this week.

The others I've been talking to haven't really asked me out yet, or we haven't arranged for a meeting. Which is fine, because right now I am excited about another prospect.

On Friday night the girls went out to the bar. I had a great time dancing up a storm. This one girl (a friend of a friend) was really really intoxicated and ended up dancing and flirting with a very very cute guy! *cue jealousy* How is it fair that she's schmammered and can barely stand, and she gets the sober cutie. Anyway, he appeared to just keep her from falling and being polite. So we hang around the bar after, and while she's leaning over everywhere he turns around and asks for my name and if I have facebook. I reply of course, give him my name, and leave it at that.

Me and my friend leave the bar to go in the parking lot to negotiate a cab situation. While we're chit-chatting with other people Sober Cutie comes up to me and asks if I need a ride. Seeing as I lived a ways from the bar, and he seemed sober and nice, I took up his offer.

He drove me home, stopped at McDonald's on the way, we got a chance to talk a little bit and not only was he cute, but the perfect gentlemen, really nice, he even bought me fries. lol. Afterwards he dropped me off and that was that. I gave him a hug, thanked him, and let myself out.
