Dating. Ugh. What can you say. I was thinking about this last year and since my divorce. All the different personalities and men I went out with. Pretty much one timers...thankfully. Some, a couple...others more.
Let's see...there was Matt. But he doesn't count, so I won't go on about him. This one hurt me bad and would rather not remember.
Dennis -
What can I say about Dennis. He wanted a relationship really really bad. I don't think it even mattered who it was. Just so that he had someone. The guy wrote me poetry from the get go, talked about moving in together, and how he so wanted children. Sweet Lord, talk about pressure. He would call at 4am because he couldn't sleep. Umm well, I was sleeping just fine! When I told him I didn't feel the same, he took off that night for Sacramento, met a girl and moved in with her. Just like that. Gee, glad he didn't have a hard time getting over me. Sheesh.
Ron -
Ron...really liked Ron. Our dates consisted of Ron..talking about Ron. And what Ron liked, didn't like etc and what Ron wanted to do with Ron's life. Ron was...Ron. Yeah, for Ron. Ron, complained, a lot, about his last girlfriend and how she didn't have time for him. But yet, Ron would go on and on about how he was so busy and didn't have time for much of anything...except Ron. Ron, was also 32 and still living with his parents. Bye Ron.
Steve -
(Not to be confused with Steve the Stalker from 2003. That guy was 4 cents short of a nickel.) Although this Steve...was just as bad. He would come off as really sweet and understanding, and then turn into this freaky angry individual if I disagreed with his political stance or mentioned the word religion. Yikes! I would get bouquets of flowers and such at work...emails cause he was thinking of me etc. Then, when we went out, we would get into the inevitable discussions that I seem to create (:P) and it would get heated fast. I told him that our perspectives and core beliefs were just too different and that it wouldn't work out. So instead of flowers, I received nasty phone calls cussing me out at work. Nice huh? Talk about emotionally unstable.
Brent -
Hmmm. Brent was confused about what he wanted I think. Nice guy and all. Very respectable and such. Gentleman even. He was sort of funny, in a really corny way. Typical knee-slapper. But he was kind of in that in-between. He just got back from driving around the country, starting a new job and didn't have a permanent place to live yet. (staying at a friends house that was up for sale) I kind of put him off a couple times...and I think that pretty much put the damper on it. Too much effort..ya know?
Ike -
I liked Ike. Ike liked me. But, Ike also had my whole future planned out for me. I was going to move up to the Gorge, where he wanted to start his photography and production business. I was going to help him, don't ya know. Ike liked music though. That is huge for me. I loved that he could appreciate all the different genres and such out there. He made me some compilations and a couple DVD's of his photography. Our philosophies were similar. And though our minds connected, there was something missing. I think i had too many issues still...and it felt too close, too fast. (we're talking 2 months time here) I couldn't go there with him yet and he felt I was too difficult. Understood.
Brian -
Brian and I are still friends. He is a cool guy. But he wanted the "friends with benefits" thing. He said to me "I know what I would love to do to you, but I know how you feel about it, so I won't." I have to say I respected that he respected me. He has yet to find someone willing to do that with him, however. Good luck... :P Dang me if he isn't Hot too. Yeesh. He is happy alone. I can relate and so we talk.
Gregg -
I have known Gregg for over a year now. We talk all the time. We have yet to go on a date, however. Yes...he is the one I always back out with. He did come over one day last week, but it was him standing in my driveway and just talking. I wouldn't let him in my house. :P He always makes me laugh. He is a guy's guy if you know what I mean. Big football fan and just about any sport I think... Nice guy though.
CJ -
Yeah well, my recent posts would describe this one. I thought this one could last a while. He was funny and entertaining. But the other "stuff" I can do without. That's about all I have to say on the subject.
And who says I haven't tried? Good golly...
