So yesterday I thought I was going to go out with this one baldy, and I got a message from him saying maybe later in the afternoon, I told him I was tied up with wedding stuff till about 2, and that if he called and I didn't answer to leave me a message and I would call him back.
Well I didn't hear from him and was kind of relieved. This way I can go take a bath, put my feet up, (Rewrite my wedding ceremony~ Again) and just do the things I really like . . . NOTHING!
Its always the married girls who wax poetic about dating, thinking, "oh you will have so much fun." Let me put it to you straight girlies . . . there is NOTHING FUN about Dating. Oh, I guess I should clairify . . . there is nothing fun about finding someone to date . . . Once you have found some one that you like well enough to go out with a second or third time, or more, then it's fun. But the randomness of trying to find someone you would like to have more than an hour date with, is hard.
Enter . . . Mr. Holistic aka Fitness freak.
This is Mr. Fitness freak . . . The picture doesn't do his arms and chest justice . . . I would have liked to have touched him and felt those muscles . . . but don't even get me started on where "the little brain" on the man would have wanted to go . . .
So I had just poured myself a cognac and crawled in to the bath, laid back and was reading a book. (it's hard to really relax when your phone is pinging with messages constantly) And the book was sad, the water a little too hot . . . so with tears in my eyes (from the book) I got out, and was drying off.
I check my messages and Mr. Fitness freak says, "How spontaneous are you?" I reply "pretty spontaneous, why?" He says, "Meet me at the Old Chicago", (We had already established we lived very close to one another.)
I thought I was going to go out with the other guy, but I was tried of waiting around for him. So I said yes to this guy. (Both are baldies, so I was right that I was going to go out with a baldy~ I love it when I'm right. Those are just the silly games I play with my self . . . )
So before I leave, I go to my ladies and tell them I'm off, I tell them where I am going, and who I'm going with and even give them his number. (I guess I should tell you who "My Ladies" are~ They are a group of women I have talked to on line for the last 10+ years, we are a silly, intertwined group, who tell each other everything, ok, let me clairify that, "I" tell them everything, from the color of my undies to the fact that beans give me "Elephant gas" (You know the kind of gas that you would think an elephant would have, but it's coming out of MY butt) They are my "go to" people . . . I love them, and trust them . . . and don't consider them "just" on line friends. I would be happy to know them and be with them in daily life. Maybe some day we can buy an island and we will all live happily there together.)
So one of my sweet ladies gave me a huge giggle, since I had posted his phone number for them (for safety sake).
She said,
She said, "
I said, "Don't make me laugh so hard, I may have to go change my pants!!!"
She said, "
And this dear readers is WHY my life is so intertwined with these women. They are amazing and lovely, and I don't know what I would do with out them.
Oh and Just for your information, I do NOT wear Depends . . . just incase any of you were wondering.
So I get cute again, and head that direction . . . I am sitting on a bench out side of Old Chicago, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting. . . . I peek in to the restaurant, there is no one standing in the lobby waiting on anyone, so I go back outside and wait some more. Then it occures to me that I need to maybe check the dating site to see if he left me another message. And lo and behold he did, he said, "I'm sitting at the bar, I have a gray shirt on." WHAT?!?!?! If you are meeting someone some place, don't you meet them there and walk in together?
STRIKE 1
Sitting at the bar, in a loud tv filled pub . . . STRIKE 2
I walk in, he doesn't even bother to stand up and greet me. STRIKE 3
I sit down and order a drink.
He doesn't even pivot to face me. STRIKE 4
Then he starts lecturing me about fitness and eating right and how people shouldn't drink Milk, and how fitness is a mind, body, soul thing . . . he never bothers to ask me my feelings on any of this . . . or if I already know anything about it, he just assumes I'm empty headed because I have big boobs . . . STRIKE 5 . . . (I have taught classes in Reflexology, and Aromatherapy . . . I do believe that the key to happy peaceful, healthy living is a mind, body, soul thing . . . so I resent the fact that he didn't ask me if I knew anything, but just acted as though I was stupid.)
How many strikes do you get in base ball??
So after his lecture is done, we had finished out drink . . . and he says that his phone had gone off like 5 times in his pocket but he didn't look at it (I'm so proud, this guy can go a whole hour without looking at his phone . . . he should get a prize) . . . I had my phone on silent (And mine had gone off also, but I wasn't rude enough to say so) STRIKE 6 . . .
He paid . . . I didn't even ask if I should pitch in . . . he invited me . . . it was all on him.
At this point in the date, he says to me . . . "I have a wonderful life . . . the only thing missing is a wonderful girl."
UH . . .. What am I supposed to say to that?
Smile.
Nod.
(no words)
(Why is he saying this to me?)
Then we walked out, a I hugged him goodbye, mostly just because I wanted to feel his muscles! (I'm kind of goofy like that, I have a muscle thing . . . I like to feel them . . . I'm just tactile like that.)
And there, is the story of Mr. Holistic aka Fitness Freak aka The lecturer aka 6 STRIKES and you are OUT!
