What I look for...

Hi again avid followers, newcomers, future exes and my future husband,

So what is it that I am even looking for? I go out with these ridiculous men and still 8 months later I am still single! I wouldn't give up any of this at all, oh no it is a learning experience... a way to weed out losers and throw back the bottom feeders. I've learned to read sites...now really read into them. Translate what these gentleman have to say about themselves...

"I've just come out of a five year relationship" -- I'm not ready to move on but to make her jealous... I will, even if it does break you

"I'm looking for someone where distance isn't a problem" -- I looking for someone to come to me in a drop of a dime.

"I think you're cute, hot, sexy, have nice eyes, great smile..." -- I can't wait to get you in bed

"I looking for hangout, friends, intimate encounter, dating, long term" -- I just wanna have sex

"I like the mets" -- I'm a tool

"The last girl I was seeing won't stop calling me" -- I never told her it was over I just stopped talking to her

self employed = unemployed
kids...prefer not to say = i have one or two...maybe
car? No = i lost my license

I'm not saying this is WHAT it means but come on what do you think... "hey after we get coffee and it goes well do you wanna come to my place and watch a movie?" psshhhh yeah... NO!

I can't even really read them all...men; unfortunately, can be as tricky, as crazy and as determined as women. And sometimes...without warning the really slimy ones...slip through the cracks...

The Last Call

Hi again avid followers, newcomers, future exes and my future husband,


This morning I got a call...

Well it wasn't today it was back in july...the marine called. He's back from base...but he's being deployed...

So there I am half asleep and he asks to see me.

Now?
"Yes...now"
I'm sleeping I can't...I'm so tired. When do you leave?

This is the part when I day dream about him having more than a month and he wants to spend it with me...

"Tomorrow...8am..."

FML I work tomorrow...

That morning I am driving to work. I get a call from the marine. I'm at the airport I'll call you before I leave....

Breathe

It's not like I was dating him. Sooo then why am I so upset...

I get a call just before 8...

I hear my name...the phone line goes dead

My marine is on his way back to the sandpit... It's all about emails now....

Liar Liar...

Hi again avid followers, newcomers, future exes and my future husband,

Yet another manventure! This one had bad news written alllll over it... I should have known when a guy does not have a picture...

HE IS HIDING SOMETHING

Whether it is....his age or that he is just plain nasty. It is a bad idea. And me? I found out the hard way. The I trust too much way. The but he was soooo wonderful when he emailed me...or called...or text. Oh no no noooo ladies we can't be fool ourselves anymore by making someone into something he is not.

We'll call him the manager.

Again...we met on a site. He's 25, never married, no kids, a manager, an ex-marine, and he has the cutest dog in his picture! Can't see the face but the dog is realllyyyy adorable! So what did I really see? Marine with a cute dog. SOLD!

A trend you will soon see... I love guys in uniform! Policemen, firemen, military guys, baseball players... YUMMY sign me up! o-kay let me gather my thoughts again and stop acting like a construction worker....

So we decided to meet...me and the manager. He says he will be coming straight from work so he will be in his work clothes. Which is fine because I have to dress business casual at work. No prob no prob... We decide to grab coffee...something quick to meet and decide. Because really it takes like 5 seconds to decide if someone is for you... I have it down to a science now. But...I still can't just not meet someone. Why? I am way too nice. I give too many chances to those who do not deserve it.

I pull up to the coffee shop...

get out...

F MY LIFE

I can't turn....run...get in my car...tell him I am sick...he saw me

Maybe...that's not that guy! Yeah I mean lots of people order two coffees and wait for people.. right?!

It was him...unfortunately.

This is what it comes down to...

Manager= Parts manager of a vaccum company (not a big deal but come on tell the truth)
office attaire= a repair man jumper (that's a slight problem)
25=32 (WHAT THE F)
no kids=one kid (more lies)
never married=well not married but moved to pa because he got his "bitch" preggo

His defense for the "lies" his secretary made his profile... uhhh no thanks!

Then... the whole time he was texting...and calling girls "hot chicks" blah blah blah I was come on dude if you are not interested let's just end this so I can go home and call alllll my friends about it and laugh...

But noooo he actually ASKED me to have dinner


I said no

NEW RULE
BACKGROUND CHECK!

A free dinner...

Hi again avid followers, newcomers, future exes and my future husband,

It's the beginning of May (2008)... and the Marine left for his training base in California...it is sad of course but he's still in the states and you never know when he really have to leave... it could be in a week, two months or another year...

The marine says he gets to come home before he goes over... I'll be waiting...

But for now I decided to keep up with the manventures...

but what I did was an well... I just wanted a free dinner...

from...

the level 10 clinger!

UGH! I think I was in desperate need of attention and of course the number one stalker on the block will give me the much needed attention I needed

I flirted with the waiter...ordered a chocolate martini and ordered the best meal ever...

I had fun...

I don't think he did...

wow I'm a bitch but seriously I think it is a well deserved for the level 10 clinger....

Okay I need to make another rule
NO PITY DINNERS... it is bad for both people attending

Hi again avid followers, newcomers, future exes and my future husband,

It's 11pm...(well not right now but it was then) It was the end of April and I went to see my sister down in Virginia. I received a call from the Marine for the first time in about a month.

"Hey! Where are you?"
My Response In Virginia
Marine "I drove in for the weekend so I could see you...

I was asked to go back to Iraq...

but... at the end of May I have to leave for California for some training"

I cry...

for most of the night...

This would happen to me...

Cougar rawrrr

Hi again avid followers, newcomers, future exes and my future husband,

First and foremost... new look to the Blog! How do you like it?! It may change from time to time til I find on that fits me the most! :)

Here we go back to the juicy stuff

I was at my favorite bar. Drunk. Hot. Thirsty....not looking for anything but the inspiration to sing one more song.

I went up to the bar to take a shot with my best friend and buy myself a pitcher... I'm turning to walk back to my table when I hear my name...

***....you're *** right?

Yeah...

He was standing there in a vintage tee...perfect sideburns and a baseball cap. Out of the movies I know! I was waiting for him to lift up a boom box and blast "Your Eyes". Yet still I had no idea who mystery man was!

He said He met me at a party... well not really met me but I was playing beer pong and flashed him and his teammate repeatedly...

oops! I WOULD!

But... he thought I was dating the guy I was with... yeahhh that would be one downfall to having one of your best friends a guy!

Anywayyy we exchanged numbers to get together...


He was 21 at this point... I was 23 sooo I would not say I am officially a "cougar" but he likes to call me that ;)

rawrrr

Why I love my job!

Hey there my favorite followers, newcomers and future husband...oh you too future exes,

This is a real time blog. Right now. While I'm at work...we have


NEW RESIDENT INTERNS AND NEW PHYSCIAN ASSISTANTS! Yeay! This is the best part of every intern turnover at the hospital.

There is one specifically who is insanely attractive... Here is our interaction...

Me looking through mail
Him "lose something?"
"No just getting my mail"
Him "You did something with your hair...straightened it?"
"Yeah, I did"
Him "It looks nice"

Well now this is a big deal. Usually the interns are snooty, pretentious and never speak a word. But not mr. baseball build, dark haired, blue eyed, dimples when he smiles intern man.

TAKE ME I'M YOURS!

Maybe I'll straighten my hair everyday...

A Fumble at the ballgame

Hi again avid followers, newcomers, future exes and my future husband,

I set a second date with the financial analyst... I'm happy about...He's not the marine and really I don't think I am settling okay maybe I am...

I just want to feel that spark again... we will see...

So anyway back to the 2nd date...I decided we would go to a local minor league baseball team. I wanted to see the sports knowledge of this man because I love baseball I mean absolutely love the game... we decide to meet in the parking lot of the store down the street and go to the game together. I'm sooo sweet... that I pay for parking because I never told him about having to have to pay for parking haha myyy bad! We get to the game and get two field tickets. GREAT SEATS! Third baseline and about 7 rows up. Ideal to watch the game and see the butt of the third baseman who is soooo hot!

The game begins and I am enjoying the game and then...he takes out his digital camera...no, no we don't do this...I don't take pictures on the 1st or 2nd date. What's the reason!? To have memories of a date gone wrong? To see how horrible we look together? Well... I guess I could see how good I looked...hmmm I'll remember that.

I order a "cold bear hair" (cold beer here) from a slightly overweight bald man who was out of breath from bending over...WHAT A MAN! The financial anaylst just looked at me like.. are you seriously going to drink a beer. HELL YEA I AM! And if they come around with "hawt dogs" i'll get one of those too! Geez someone needs to loosen up his tie.

In the midst of the beer the opposing team hit a shot to the outfield...and our right fielder dropped it...SERIOUSLY! no wonder we are LAST in all that is minor league baseball. While I am yelling to stick with it Mr. Financial Analyst says....

ugh... he fumbled it

FUMBLED?! Realllyyyy!!! We are at a BASEBALL GAME not a FOOTBALL GAME. I think my blank stare and silent are you kidding me demeanor prompted his... just a test to see if you really understood the game.

LISTEN BUDDY! After ten years of softball and following baseball my ENTIRE life I am sure I KNOW BASEBALL.... is this game over yet....
Leaving the game I check my cellphone...

Good game isn't it --Level 10 Clinger

KILL MY LIFE!!! WHY! I don't answer I can't start this again...but I mean I could probably get a free meal out of it hmmmm evil I know...

The Financial Analyst took me back to my car but he did not hesitate to mention the bars I go to are dive bars...ohhh cause he is so CLASSY and drinks chick drinks cause he can't stand beer. THEN before I get in my car he mentions how I should probably wash it... oh and he would like to see me again. REALLY!? I don't think so... I think this is the last date unless something changes

I need to start new...

New Rules to add

• must know the difference between a fumble and a error
• must enjoy a dive bar
• MUST enjoy a beer

Que sera sera

Hi again avid followers, newcomers, future exes and my future husband,

It's Easter and my sister is home from college which I am psyched about really! So...I probably should tell her...

I'm addicted to dating sites....

This is what I am waiting for from my perfect always in a relationship little sister...

You're crazy...they must have something wrong with them...they aren't that good looking....what are you thinking?!?

So we go out for the night and as we are ending up the night out at the diner for an after bar breakfest, my cell starts to vibrate. SWEET! I knew exactly who it was regardless of the time... the marine was able to get off base to spend some time with me.

I know it is late, he says, but I would really like to see you tonight. Work has been crazy and I won't be able to see you any other time this weekend.

yes, YES! Is the thought that came to my head. It would be prefect my sister could take me there and just come get me in the morning. Little did I know the tables would have turned...my sister...the one who always says to grow up...make the first move. YOUR TRUE LOVE IS NOT GOING TO FALL INTO YOUR LAP! Hasss to talk to the Marine first...

Nope..NO...no you're not going. He just wants to sleep with you. He called me sweetheart. He does NOT care about you...

...and as my eyes swelled with tears it hits me, in some strange way it is like she doesn't want me to be happy. Because when it comes down to it... I don't care about the 3am calls because I still get calls during the week, the emails, the ims, the text messages.... just once I would like to be the happy one. But...not now...not this time...the marine calls me back and he is baffled and angry and hangs up

He hung up...on me...and when I tried to call him back he there was no answer...

There it goes out the window...

My biggest regret... not going to see him that night. Maybe things would have been different today.
