Square peg, meet round hole and screwed up teenaged dating

So I found it highly amusing that apparently I, the punk freak "untouchable" in high school, was in fact very much sought after but none of the guys would ask me out because they were afraid of me.  I scared them.  They were intimidated by me because I behaved the same as them, not like the other girls.  They didn't know how to approach me.  The guy who told me this, better known as The Chef, the one I actually did date and who is in touch with a lot of them, actually got applauded - applauded! - at the recent reunion for having both the prowess and the cojones to go out with me.  I've gotten messages from several who all said they regretted never asking me out.  WTF?  I mean really, W.T.F.?

How in the hell does that happen?  Why did no one tell me this?  Do you have any idea what this would have done for my self-esteem?  How much better I would have felt about myself, instead of being the girl that didn't have dates because she was just one of the guys?

I found all these people on Facebook, of course.  And it's funny - in the communication threads, these guys' wives and girlfriends have got their hackles up.  Do they not remember that I hung out with all these guys and I was friends with them, and not them?  And why wasn't I friends with the girls?  Because I was friends with the guys!  And oh, that's right, that's why all the girls called me a whore!  I'd almost forgotten that.  Funny how that works, especially knowing now that the guys were all afraid to ask me out.  

Good times.

hmmmm

I think I might be sporting a bit of a crush on an old classmate I have hung out with a couple of times............
I am going to just leave it at that for now.

At a complete and utter loss....

I honestly don't think anyone could provide an adequate explanation for some of the atrocious behavior I have encountered as of late.....

Case Study #1 - Indian PhD Guy (Dazed and Confused)

First contacts me back in August on Match. We go out once, have a very good time, and make plans for a second date. Day of 2nd date I get a text from his friend saying he dislocated his shoulder and is in the hospital. A few weeks later, he resurfaces and sends me a very nice email saying that he's gotten back with his ex-girlfriend. I was fine with it, as I wasn't sure I was attracted to him in the first place, and he handled it well. Fast forward several months - I see him back on Match (looking at my profile) and we have a few fun episodes of text conversations (all PG, girls). He is flirty and asks me to come watch a movie at his house that night. I agree (deciding he is harmless) and then 30 minutes later he says he can't do it, has to pick up a stranded friend whose car broke down. A few months later, he's back - we text for 3 hours the Sunday of the snow, and he asks me out for dinner the following Friday (specific plans - restaurant, time, etc. all decided). Texts me on Tuesday to say hi, I write back 2 hours later, and nothing. And nothing. And nothing. I finally text him on Thursday to say are we still on for dinner. Nothing. And nothing since. Except....yep, you guessed it - he's back on Match and looking at my profile.

Case Study #2 - Nice Guy Jim (and what a guy he is)

Last Saturday I get an Match email (on my Blackberry) from Nice Guy Jim as follows:

Michelle - if you are ever in the mood to hook up, please call me at 404-xxx-xxxx. Jim.

Having no clue who this is, I check the picture when I get home (can't see it on the Blackberry) and it's this guy who emailed me almost a YEAR ago and then flaked out. We have never even talked on the phone.

To make it even better, this is how his profile now begins on Match -

I am a Christian man looking for a Christian woman that is marriage minded and wants to start a family fairly soon...

Gosh, do you think he wants to marry me? Or just come over to my house, screw me, and leave? I know which one I'm putting my money on....

There are more stories to tell, but I just don't have the energy to type them now....more soon.

10 years and counting.....

Ever have those guys you never get over? Those relationships that never seem to die? That one true love that you feel like makes you both into the poster children for "star-crossed lovers"?

Mine is going on 10 years now and just reemerged yesterday.

I know it will never go anywhere, but damn, if I'm not addicted to it. :-(

Stupid stupid stupid boys

WTF.  Just WTF.

We had a great time with him meeting the family.  He liked them, they liked him.

Today, he gets in a snit and is sulking and won't speak to me or communicate in any way.

I've about had it with this high school crap.  Seriously.  Be a man for christ's sakes.  Damn.

All I can say is....... WTF

Once again, as I have said repeatedly....... We couldn't make this shit up if we tried !!!!!!

So on Tues night I meet a new guy from yahoo personals out for coffee. He wrote me first and was very cute. He is Hungarian. So we meet, he is super cute, nice accent, well spoken, smart, interesting, well read, and seems to have a good job.

We are there for a few hours, and wrap up the night. At my car, he kisses me. VERY good kisser I might add. By the time I get on the highway I get a text message " you are a very good kisser, I want to see you again, Friday?"
Well, I already have another date lined up for tonight so I replied " I have plans Fri, but I am free Thurs. I get off wk @8, so won't be able to meet you til 9"
He is fine with that. And asks if I can come up his way ( #11 on 400, a good 30-40 min drive for me) there is a great tex mex place we can go to....... So I am fine with that.

I get there last night around 8:40, Give him a call and he says" I will be there in 10 min, get a booth"

Now a side bar here...... Since he has an accent, I can't always tell when he is kidding or not......

He sits down
him- "are you hungry?"
me- "actually yeah, the food looks good"
him-" I actually already ate"
me- "why?"
him- " It IS 9pm"
me- "and you knew that when we made plans"
him- " It doesn't matter, you are buying dinner tonight anyway, I will be a cheap date"

WTF- you asked ME out asshole, and I just drove 40 f-ing minutes for mexican food!!!!

me- "haha, yeah ok whatever" ( thinking he is joking.....)
him-" so what are we doing after this?"
me- no clue, this isn't my neck of the woods"
him- "my house is around the corner"
me- " I have only met you two times, and don't even know your last name yet, I will not be coming to your house tonight...."

Keep in mind He has corrected my grammer at this point too..... Over me saying "we were going to surround the wagons for a friend who was going thorugh a bad break up, v/s circle the wagons" who cares !!!!

The bill comes, he HANDS me the folder!!!!!Picks it up and HANDS it to me !!!!
Me- as I look him dead in the eye,,,,, " Won't be the first time I have needed to pay for dinner!!!" ( it was only $36!!!!)
Him- " I am very tired I need to go"

We walk out and he pats me on the back !!!!! same guy who laid one on me 2 nights before.......

I send him a text that says " I was actually really looking forward to seeing you tonight, and in all honesty you acted like a complete ass tonight"
His "reply......." I am sorry"
my last reply "really, if that is your attempt at an explanation, I am not interested ...."

Basically- Since he not getting laid on the first date, he didn't want to waste any time or money on me. Nice huh!!!


We can add him to the following experiences
1- suicidal intensive therapy guy
2- the guy who would text me "hey" 20 times a day after hanging out for an hour
3- the guy who 30 min after iming with me on yahoo told me he was wacking off to my picture and gave me graffic details
4- the latino jew, that after a nice first date, totally freaked out on me since his business was going down the toliet

Ladies am I forgetting anyone?????

I DO have another date tonight...... will post tomorrow.
WMJ


Update...... Date last night, he was very sweet, but in all honesty, he was kinda of boring, and was so nervous he was sweating...... So after 2 hrs, I went and met one of the ladies for a drink....

Parental Units

I think Doodlepants' parents like me more than he does. They were in town on their way to Florida and were very upset that I already had dinner plans and couldn't visit with them and Tony. His Mother is convinced that I'm The One. I think she pretty much told him that. He just said he thought it was funny. I think he secretly agrees with her.
