This guy emails me with his one and only "Very Interested Person" email of the week. He seemed nice and his email to me was very specific to me and complimentary. We went out for dinner and had a nice time. No jitters, ok looking, but a nice guy.
I get a text from him the next day "how happy he is that he met me, I'm easy to talk to, and sexy as hell." Calls me during the week and sets up a second date for dinner and a comedy club that is an hour away. YIKES! That is a lot of time for a second date. But - we go....
He started asking me about religion and when I told him about my religion and my own views on organized religion, he started asking me questions like: "So, you don't celebrate Christmas or go to church? You don't believe in Heaven or Hell?" This one is not going to be a match.
It was a long drive home from the hour away Comedy Club but we held the conversation. He didn't walk me in and we said goodbye and hugged.

I've created this blog after ending a two-year relationship and starting over in the dating world in my (mid)30s. The good...the bad....and the ugly....of dating.

Suitor #14: Lucky Charm. Sept 14
This guy added me to his "match.com favorite profiles." His profile wasn't bad. He asked a question in there...if you were a cereal, which would you be. So - I emailed him. Here is our first communication.
My email to him:
I'd be your lucky charm, baby ;)
How cheesy am I! I just had to write that after I read your profile.... HA!
Have a nice weekend ;)
His response:
Lucky Charms? Hmmmm I just realized I have never had Lucky Charms! I think you have just answered the question of why I am single? I have been eating the wrong cereal all along! I am going to have to "pick up" a box. Are you...ahem...they, magically delicious?
Just add milk,
xxx
P.S. I hope you picked up on the metaphors.
I wrote back:
xxx -- O....M....G..... I'm speechless and that does not happen often. Not sure if I should respond with a, "that's what she said," or are you being a match.com perv? but maybe I need to get to know you first to figure that one out ;) -xxx
We go on a date. It was fine. Neither here nor there. He is definitely a good looking guy. Not sure if we have much in common and no serious connection but it was pleasant. He walks me to my car, puts his arms around me, gives me a peck on the lips. He sends me a few more texts but does not ask me out again. A month goes by and our texting stops...then out of nowhere, randomly starts again.

Suitor #13: Naked Guy. Sept 8
"They" say....always meet in a public place, never go back to a guys place until you know them, and trust your gut. Well....who is the "they" anyway. Let's count the red flags that I missed (let's just say ignored) with this guy.
I receive an email from a very good looking guy, with a graduate degree, was in the military, does well for himself, early 40s. His profile says that his "divorce is not final." RED FLAG 1.
I returned his email and told him that "I'm 35 and I'm very much looking to meet the right person. You seem like a great catch but I'm not sure if you are ready since your divorce is not final. Best of luck." He emailed back and said that "there is no chance of reconciliation and he enjoys being in a relationship and being married and hopes to find the right one." Well - I know many people who have been married twice before I've been married once, so I thought...what the heck.
He starts texting me beautiful pictures of the sunset and pictures of his two young daughters when they were making sushi one night. How cute. So - we agree to go on a date.
He suggested meeting at a wine bar down the block from his house. RED FLAG 2. He should be driving to me. But - what the heck - it is only 10-15 mins away. He texts me and asks me if I want to start off with a cocktail at his place before we go to the wine bar. RED FLAG 3. I said - let's just meet there. On my way there, he texts and says parking is really bad and I should park at his place and we can walk. RED FLAG 4. I found parking without a problem across the street.
We greet each other and all I can say is this guy is HOT. He is definitely a heart racing DILF. Wow. We grab a table outside and he goes inside to get a bottle of white, and a fruit/cheese and cracker plate. Throughout the night, several men come up to him and say hello. Seems to be his house hang out and I was just wondering if I was the flavor of the night. RED FLAG 5. He is so over-complimentary. He compliments my shoulders (who compliments shoulders?) and what a nice ring I was wearing (a cheap costume jewelry ring!). RED FLAGS 6 AND 7. After about 2 hours, he suggest we go somewhere else....to eat, change scenery, etc. He suggests we go down the block to his place and then decide. I didn't think this guy was going to hurt me. So - what the heck. And....here we go.....RED FLAG 8.
He gives me the grand tour of his place, grabs me some water, and we start flipping through the channels. He kissed me and what the heck -- I mean he IS a DILF. But - I knew where this was going. Within a couple of minutes he massages my shoulders and tells me that I should take my shirt off. I said no. He tells me how hot he is and that he'd like to take his shirt of. RED FLAG 9. The six pack abs is staring right at me. After a little while, he claims that his "you know what" is hurting him and he needs to take his jeans off. This 43 year old man is acting like a 16 year old. Here I am -- fully dressed and they guy is practically naked in front of me. He did in fact take is you know what out of his underwear to show me what I'm missing. Quite humorous. I go to the bathroom, and when I get out, he is upstairs and asks me to come join him and cuddle in bed. RED FLAG 10. I told him that I'm not going upstairs and in fact I'm leaving. He asks me why I was being that way -- I should take it as a compliment that he is attracted to me. I said, if I sleep with everyone I go on a first date with, I'd be sleeping with another guy almost every night of the week.
I'm out. He texts me the next day telling me what a great time he had and did not ask me out again.
