Coming out the Woodworks...Isn't that how the Saying Goes?

I can't tell you how many men have come out the woodwork since I met Maurice?  Isn't that how the saying goes?  What's a woodworks anyway lol?

I did it...and I'm Relieved!

Ok guys...I just wanted to let you know that I did it...and I feel relieved, happy, and stress-free.  Wait...no...not that...I did NOT have sex LOL!  I finally decided to Facebook my crush.  I am glad that it is done, now I don't have to think about it anymore.  I didn't just flat out tell him I have a crush on him, I actually just sent him a generic message that will hopefully drum up some conversation.

Throwback Thursday Storytime: The Panty Bandit

I had to be about 19 years old in college, just learning the ins and outs of dating.  I didn't have many boyfriends in high school because I heard a lot of horror stories from my friends and I knew a lot of the guys and they would tell me the things they would do to girls and I wasn't really trying to be a statistic LOL!

One of my close friends at the time, I will call her Von, convinced me to try dating someone older.  I hadn't dated much, but I just knew older men was NOT going to be my thing...but against my better judgment I fell into peer pressure.

Mom Says It's Time for You to Get a Steady Boyfriend!

Last week, I was having some random/general conversation with my mother.  She stops the conversation about says, "Can I ask you a question?"  You know what that means....it's about to get uncomfortable.  Of course, I replied yes and she asked me

Am I Really Wrong for This?

Ok, I need you guys to be blunt with me on this.  Dave, which is a guy that I have talked about in a previous post (Click Here for Background on Dave)  contacted me Sunday. As soon as I saw his name pop up on my phone, I was annoyed, so I waited like an hour before I responded.  Here is how the conversation went:

Throwback Thursday Story Time: 3am Door & Bedroom Knocking

I couldn't resist telling you all this story.  I know you won't believe it, but it is completely true...NO EXAGGERATION NEEDED!

Should I be Offended or am I Over- Reacting?!

This past weekend, I have been super sick with a really bad cold thanks to my son lol!  All weekend, we pretty stayed in and tried to get over the worst part of the cold together, the chills, cold sweats, fever, incessant coughing, etc.

Sunday, we decided to take a little trip to the mailbox on our way back home from the store.  As soon as I pulled up to the mailbox, I saw this gorgeous guy posting some flyers near my mailbox.  I wanted to sit in car until he left because I knew I looked horrible.  I still had a bit of a fever and I was dressed in sweats and a boy beater, with my hair pulled back into a ponytail and not a drop of makeup...not even chapstick/lip gloss.

I knew I couldn't hide in the car, so I mustered up the courage to get out of the car...I just decided I would avoid eye contact at all costs.  As soon as I got out of the car, he looked in my direction and said,

Do I look like a prostitute to you?!

This weekend, I didn't go on any dates.  Friday I hung out with Lesbiana and at a little bar, then Saturday afternoon I hung out with Mercedes, my other bff.  Saturday night, I went to my sister's birthday party, and Sunday I took sometime to recuperate and spend some quality time with my son.  It was definitely a busy weekend.

Saturday night, I got a text from Dave.  (The guy who basically had a girlfriend the whole time he was trying to date me).  As soon as I saw his name, I was slightly annoyed because I won't lie, I still feel some type of way because of the way our "friendship" ended.  (I'm not sure what else to call it).


Dave: Yo I know we don't talk but my homegirl just seen your pic on IG and wanted me to ask you abt hanging out w/u.
 
Me: What's her name?

Dave: Hanging out like freaking u

Me: Oh lol, no I'm good...lol

Dave: Yea I figure that but she made me text u.

Ok, let me explain this text... When he text me, I thought he was saying that 1 of his friends, that maybe he introduced me too, wanted to hang out, as in link up and do girl stuff, like go out or go to the movies or something.  Dave has a lot of friends and his female friends are women that we went to college with that I didn't know in college.  Maybe I am naive, but some of his female friends are very  nice and there are a couple that I would hang out with because we have a lot in common.  I definitely didn't think that he was texting me to hook me up with a female to have sex with...

All I could do was laugh because I really wanted to curse him out.  I am straight and I am confident enough in my sexuality to say that another woman is pretty or dresses well, but I'm not the least bit interested in starting a relationship with a woman.  One of my best friends is a lesbian and I love her to death, but I'm just not into women like that.  Women are sensitive, emotional, and act crazy on their periods...I have enough work dealing with my own emotions and attitude, why the hell would I want to date another woman and deal with all her emotions too LOL!

Now, I don't know if he was trying to be funny, or if he was trying to get a rise out of me, or if he just wanted to say something and see if I would respond, or if he just wanted to see if I would try this with 1 of his friends....All I know is that I was offended that he would try and set me up with someone for sex....is he friggin serious?!  Something told me to ignore him when I saw his text pop up on my phone, but I figured it was just innocent.  I'm starting to believe that nothing involving Dave is innocent.

I don't like to argue...but maybe I should have said:

Dave, thank you so much for such a gracious offer, but I will have to pass because you couldn't pay me enough to be involved with you or any of your friends, especially if they are anything like you.  If you are interested in setting her up with a prostitute, I'm sure you can find 1 on a street corner somewhere in Atlanta or maybe even craigslist.  I'm not a hooker, nor am I interested in being 1.  You should be ashamed of yourself for even sending me that type of text especially since you and I "dated" and I use that term very loosely.  Do yourself a favor and lose my number before I facebook your girlfriend and tell her what a low life douche bag you are...oh and have a nice night :).

LOL!  I know I don't have the best luck when it comes to dating, but I'm def going to stick to dating men and I def don't see myself turning into a high priced prostitute anytime in the future.

It's Not Meet The Parents....It's Meet My Crazy Ex!

This weekend, I went on a "date" with a guy that I have met twice at 2 different places.  (I put date in quotes, but our first date wasn't exactly a date...I'll explain later).  Let me give you a little background.  I went to Barnacles, which is a restaurant that turns into a bar/club after a certain time with one of my female friends probably late last year.  Her and I were having a great time when this guy, who I will call Nilo came up to me and started talking and buying us drinks.  He was really nice so we exchanged numbers.

We didn't talk that much after exchanging numbers, which is probably my fault because I had a lot going on at the time, so we lost touch.  By lost touch, I mean I erased his number lol.  Anyway, I ran into him again recently at another club and he came up to me and invited me to his VIP section.

Is This a test?!

 
I'm not going to lie...yes, I have resorted to online dating....thanks to Lesbiana.  Wait, before you judge, it isn't that bad.  I think of it as meeting a stranger in the mall and exchanging numbers.  The only thing missing is the body language.  Yes, I know you can get all types of vibes from body language, but the truth is that lately, I have been a bad judge of character.  Even when I meet guys in person and I like them they always seem to be "bad."

Anyway, I was browsing through the dating site and I came across this gorgeous guy I will call Mateo.

Why I'm Abstinent...

I guess I should just dive right on in...the last guy I dated was a guy that I knew in college- I'll call him Dave.  I wouldn't say we were friends in college, but we sort of knew each other.  By that I mean that we knew each other's name and we knew that the other was a "cool" person.  We reconnected last year when I attended his birthday party.  To tell you the truth, I was pretty surprised when I received the invite on Facebook, but I decided to go.

Before I decide to tell you why I went, don't judge me.
