My first experiences
Let me preface this with the fact that I just went through the most grueling ugly divorce. I've found few people who know someone who went through what I did. Being a stay at home mom for the most part, I decided to try my luck at online dating, since after all, that's how my husband found his woman.... yes, while we were married!! If he can do while he's married, surely I can do it while divorced!
My first experience was one of the better ones! Although, the guy looked nothing like his picture, I will say he looked like Clay Aiken and Jim Carrey combined! (Damn, not my type!) He was a super nice guy, very very nice, extremely nicey nice. Zero chemistry, no attraction, I offered to pay for the drinks because I felt guilty knowing I would never meet up with him again! He wouldn't allow, so what could I say? Thank-you and NEXT!
The next guy was only 24, with me being 39, it was a little on the young side, but hey, I was joining the ranks of cougars and I sure could use some ego boosting!! We met at one restaurant, which, had too long of a wait. So we decided to go to restaurant #2. I made my very first mistake. And I'm lucky it didn't turn out bad. I rode with him from restaurant #1 to restaurant #2. He sorta looked like his picture, but again, I just couldn't feel anything in the chemistry or attraction department. Do I keep offering to buy my meal or drinks, or do I completely take advantage of a free meal? Being the proud person that I am, I again offer to buy. He won't let me either! (I seriously could get a free meal/drinks every night, but at this rate, it is SO not worth it!!) As soon as we were done eating and in the car, he attacks me with one goal in mind.... sex.....right there in the parking lot, while parked right next to the front door of the restaurant no less!! What is WRONG with people?? I tell him to take me back to my car, and thank goodness, he did. Of course, I had my hand on my phone and was ready to scream, yell, kick, bite or whatever was required, but he took me back... and that... was that! NEXT!
The next one was a real winner. He did look like his pics, an intsy bintsy bit... I think.... if I compared the zit on the nose to the one in the picture, yeah, I'm SURE it was him!! NOT! But he had a funny personality and I actually sorta had a little bit of fun. Still, to my disappointment, no chemistry or attraction from me. Same routine, offer to pay for drinks, say thank you and go on my merry way. He told me that he would leave it up to ME to call HIM, that way he would know if was interested! PHEW! Someone who finally gets it! Oh no no no, don't ever think a man gets it.... not when sex is what they want! 5 am, I get a text saying "I guess you don't like younger men" and then several more complaining about why I didn't like his sorry self. (What was I thinking?? 27??) The next day he bugged and bugged and bugged me. (Good reason not to tell anyone your real name or phone number. I still haven't gotten a 2nd phone, but am seriously considering it) So, I finally talked to him on IM trying to explain the fact that I felt zero chemistry or attraction. About 30 min into it, he still wasn't getting it. So I said, look, take 10 girls and meet all 10. Some you like and feel attracted to, some you don't. I'm NOT ATTRACTED TO YOU. He finally got it and left me alone. Now I'm wondering how much of this am I going to take? Should I try this again?? Well, OK. There was another seemingly nice guy who was nice looking. NEXT!
The seemingly nice looking guy? yeah, let's just say that his picture looked like Matt Damon, and in person he looked like Ozzy Osbourne. I can't expound on this one, we met at a fricking shake n steak. Hell yeah you're buying my burger, this is a complete case of fraud and I should sue you for at least a steak dinner! NEXT!
The next one....... oh...... the next one. I will have to talk about him in my next entry. We met, and totally fell for each other. In the meantime, I have 2 more detailed stories of 2 people that I never met...Check out the "internet dating scammers" that will be coming either later today or tomorrow...
Until then.......... Happy Friggin Hunting for those of you who are in the same boat!
