Careful what you wish for!
Wooo… For those that read this blog for the “Sex And The City” dialogue, this one’s for you.
A while back, I mentioned some things I look for when dating a guy — One of the things I mentioned was an eager, excited approach to a date with me. (Well, actually, those weren’t my exact words, but close enough.) What I’ve been noticing lately, is the guys I come in contact with either online, or in person, have an over-abundance of that. Now, I’m wishing that the guys would be a little less eager, and just have a balanced approach to the thought of having a date with me. I’m not sure what’s going on lately, but it’s odd.
I’ve had my own personal stalker, who I, for some stupid reason, decided to have one date with — Probably just to get him to stop calling me 18 times a day. The date started well, but then he got really quite intoxicated, and made a very bad “joke” about jewish people — In front of my friends, no less. That date ended promptly at that point.
Other guys lately have been especially eager to meet me (from an online dating site) without providing photos of themselves — This goes against everything I believe in. Physical attraction, no matter what anyone says, is important. Hell, I’ve got about five photos of me up on the same dating site — Fair is fair?? Jeez.
I have had some fun dates lately, though — I’m still enjoying my singlehood. In fact, I told someone at the party last weekend that if I could freeze a moment in time where almost everything (except my father’s illness) was perfect, that moment would be it. I just wish the highs lately weren’t balanced off so much with the amazing lows that have occured of late as well. Can’t I just have the highs for a while?

I agree about your “physical attraction” point. Whilst I think that long-term relationships have to be based on the “person inside” they all have to start somewhere and that’s normally the “person outside”. It’s only natural. All this “PC” crap and trying to make us all more “civilised” is, for the most part, completely “un-natural” and wrong. These “know-it-alls” are trying to turn us into something that isn’t “human”.
My photos are in the post.
I’m totally with you on the whole “too much or not enough” thing. Guys unequivocally seem to make me want to either:
a) tear out my hair because after a good date they don’t call, or
b) run screaming for the hills, because the innundate me with “too much too fast.”
Apparently there is no happy medium.
Hey T, how’s it going? Ya, I would say, at this day and (his) age, any groups, culture or religion is in bad taste to joke about. Probably a very good indicator of where he came from, and going? Why would anyone want to impress someone special with some rude jokes? *DUMP* You to find that Alpha Male…… he he.
geez…racist jokes, when will they learn! not on the first date!
keep your head up t, if there weren’t lows….highs just wouldn’t be so high!
