When I am feeling really content with life sans man this blog suffers, really I think my other does as well. When it's all rainbows and unicorns who really wants to read that shit? Didn't you come here for the juicy details of my dating life, good and bad...not content. Ugh. Fuck me.
I still have the hots for the chef. Probably because he gives the most mixed signals ever. Let me rephrase that, I am reading way too much into his signals because I am so attracted to him. Something seriously sexy. He hasn't texted me since we met up, but he Facebook status comments frequently. UGH! So annoying. I am going with him not being interested because if I have learned anything, when a man wants something...he goes for it. Interested does not mean status commenting when you are bored. Again. So. Annoying.
Speaking of men being interested, a guy I went out with a few weeks ago under the knowledge he was just looking for friends appears to be really interested in me. Hmmmm. I really enjoyed his company but I would just want to be friends and he is saying things to indicate we are getting to know one another with the intention for there possibly being more. I feel nothing for this guy other than "Hey we could be really good friends, I like men friends.....that I'm not going to have sex with." Hopefully he can control himself. ;) First step, do not allow him to pay for dinner. To be honest, this is hard when I am broke and want to experience Charlotte cuisine. Hopefully he will get the hint before trying to go in for a kiss. I'm not looking to bruise his ego.
I went out Saturday with my little sister for my birthday and to watch the Ohio State/Michigan game. Go Bucks!! I'm glad the birthday went by with little said but plenty of beer. (After three large beverages, I was feeling pretty good) This was one I wasn't really looking forward to celebrating. Next year on the other hand....my last year in my 20s...it's on. So a nice young man, a mandolin player, sat down next to us and kept us company for a few hours. Boy did he make an impression on the sister and I! I've been hoping for a craigslist missed connection and my sister mentioned him yesterday! Hard pressed to find a man we both have the hots for. I will say, if he was interested he had a chance to get her number more than once when I was making my frequent trips to the restroom due to the ever shrinking size of my bladder. She did not leave me alone with the mandolin player. I'm going to go with the whole "if he is interested he will do what it takes" idea again and he would have asked for my number with her around. However, I think it was the first time I'd been out and actually met a man who kept my attention. He was adorable. I'd like to pretend he was feeling me. Oh! Woe is me for reals!
Dating in the dead of winter, I'm interested in seeing how this works out. I might have to go into hibernation until spring, where one can walk hand in hand with the man she fancies and be courted while every animal in town get busy making babies. Nah, I like a challenge and why wait?

The Life of A Cheap Whore
So a few weeks ago or so I posted a craigslist ad. In the past I have had much success with the good old craigslist, this is not one of those times. Had an interesting email conversation, met no one and got called mean and nasty names. Apparently, some people haven't learned that just because I post an ad doesn't make me a punching bag for all of the women who have hurt you, it also does not mean I will fuck you.
There was a guy who seemed totally interesting at first, until he started talking about us meeting up. I wish I'd kept the emails to get the exact words. I politely declined his idea to meet that day for lunch. I also made it clear he was being a little pushy and that I didn't like the talk of kissing someone who I didn't know and that it set a bad idea of what could happen. He apologized and we went back to email basics.
Until I got his final email which asked me if we got to know each other if he could go down on me. Hmmmmm. While like most women the thought is appealing, it definitely was not appealing with him and I didn't even bother responding. Back in the day my response might have been, "If you hadn't said anything like that you might have gotten whatever you wanted." Being a tease is sometimes fun. Instead I just didn't respond. Always the best bet. To ignore a man who is clearly just trying to get attention or an easy fuck.
I get a text yesterday from someone I don't know. (I have a tendency to take people out of my phone who I haven't talked to in a while.) So I responded with "Who is this?" He responded with "Chris, the pushy one." At first it didn't ring a bell, then I was like UGH! So I ignored it and he then asked what I was doing. I really hate that question, none of your business. So finally I was just like, "Obviously, if I don't know who you are I'm not interested in talking with you. Please take me out of your phone. Thanks. :)"
His response was classic: "Wow. And you are also a total bitch too. Later cheap whore."
I should have responded with "Yo Momma!"
Love it. I promptly texted it to my best friend. I don't quite know where the *and* and *too* come from since he wasn't name calling before. I'm guessing his grasp on the concept of the English language is limited.
I'd rather be a cheap whore bitch than an idiot.

Picture Tips for Men
A picture is worth a thousand words. We all know this. Through online dating I've had this drilled into my skull, looking at the many pictures of men who are not exactly putting their best foot forward, or face in this case. A picture will make or break you with me...not because of what you look like...it is something more.
Here is my list of common picture faux pas I frequently see:
-You Shirtless: Let me imagine what could be hiding under your tee. Maybe even rock the v-neck to give me a preview like women sometimes give. I really dislike the shirtless picture. It screams "LOW SELF ESTEEM!!" Especially when you are already on a dating site. This is not a turn on in the slightest, I don't need to know what you're workin' with, other than above the shoulders. A physical attraction will happen with your shirt on.
-You in the Mirror of Your Bathroom with Your Camera Phone: Hmmmm. You don't have any pictures of you otherwise? You don't know anyone who could take a picture of you? Why?
-Throwing up Deuces: not the old school hippie peace sign. It is kind of wanna be gangsta, I take myself a lotta too seriously and is especially horrible when you are wearing sunglasses...in the middle of the club. You are not a rapper, producer or anyone important enough to deuce me in your knock offs. Smile and act like life is worth living, not just for acting hard.
-Other Women: This for me is a big no-no. ESPECIALLY if you don't say that it is your sister or cousin or relative. It just gives a bad vibe. I'm interested in you, not what your friends or girlfriends look like. It also isn't cool to post pictures of your children. Quite scary in fact.
-Vehicle: So you drive a monster truck or a BMW. That really isn't you. To post a picture of you in front of your car is strange....unless you are a woman, who is half naked, posing for a magazine (and that is a whole other issue.) It is even worse when it is just your ride. Who cares? This says to me you are materialistic and will judge my car when you see it. Shania comes to mind. It doesn't impress me much.
-Deer heads-Yes. I know it seems like I shouldn't even have to say it. A picture of you holding a buck by the antlers not only makes me want to throw up and move on to the next profile, it also makes me want to express how little I imagine your penis being for feeling the need to show off the fact that you killed an innocent animal with a gun that you are probably not well trained enough to use. This honestly makes me quite sick. Contrary to 500 years ago, I don't need proof that you can support me by providing protection (with your idiot gun) or food (by harming something so innocent) I can just head to the grocery store and pick up a nice meal.
-Beer Bong: Or any bong really. I get it, you are probably younger than I am and drink a bit more than I do but this is a dating site. Why would you post a picture of you even holding a beer bong?
-At the Gym: Why? Okay, you go to the gym, so do I but I really don't need to see what you look like when you are working out.
I will say, with these types of pictures I am able to weed through the duds. Gotta look on the bright side.
On a non-dating related note. Not only is Thanksgiving fast approaching, but so is my birthday!! I will officially be 28. While I am not exactly excited about this getting older thing, since it is Thanksgiving I have a lot to be thankful for. Having a 4 day weekend birthday without having to request any time off is great!
