I miss love.
This is important
IMPORTANT. BOOST.
So now I am older than my mother and father, when they had their daughter, now what does that say about me?
My Date with The Yogi
I matched with this guy on Tinder awhile back and we chatted a bit but he was too far away to really plan a date. He got ahold of me and told me he was making a trip down to Tri-Cities to buy some cheap skis from a guy off craigslist. While planning our date he told me he would be available about 6:30 or 7, because he wanted to do yoga first.... This was something I hadn't heard from a guy before but I definitely envy his dedication. He ended up not doing yoga and made our date sooner.
We had planned on meeting at McKay's Taphouse but at the last minute he asked what I thought about going to Atomic Ale... If you guys know anything about me... I LOVE atomic. This has now been my 3rd date at Atomic this summer... haha... I didn't tell my date that though.
The Yogi was a super cool guy with a GREAT smile. I didn't have a great idea of what he looked like before I met him, which made me pretty nervous, but he was normal... Definitely shorter than I expected, but that didn't bother me. Our date went really well and our conversation flowed pretty smoothly. The Yogi is from Indiana, but works as a carpenter in Moxee. We talked about family a lot, I could tell he really loves his... and that is a truly beautiful trait for a man or woman to have. i couldn't imagine not being close with my family... They hold me together.
We sat at Atomic for quite awhile talking and enjoying pizza and brews. He even paid for dinner when I got up to use the restroom, which was super sweet of him. Like I've said before, I'm not doing this dating thing to get free meals and I have paid for my own food the majority of the time.
When The Yogi and I said bye to each other it was kind of awkward... I could tell he was interested in seeing me again... and he even said "I don't know how you feel about 2nd dates" ... and used that as a way to reach out.... And i told him i'm definitely open to the idea.
He drove all the way back to Moxee that night and even texted me when he got home, which was cute.
I'd say the date was successful.
Back on the Saddle
Alright guys I’M BACK…. After being sick and tired of dating, I am finally going on some more dates with some strangers!(that sounds weird)
I have a date tonight with a guy who lives a bit out of town… When deciding when we were going to hang out he told me it’ll be closer to 7, since he wants to do yoga first… This is one of the strangest things i’ve heard from a guy, but I respect his dedication… Maybe I should do yoga before the date too? I hope he realizes he is going to have to drive all the way back to his house after our date and he is NOT spending the night with me… Maybe I need to bring this up to him? Hmm… glad I have my blog to talk to and make me realize this stuff…
I ALSO have a date on Sunday. I started talking to a guy just last night and he is totally on board with this blog idea. He asked what I wanted to do on our date and I told him, although it is cliche to go to a movie… I REALLY want to see Guardians of the Galaxy and have no one to go with. He also wants to see it and hasn’t, so BOOM, DATE! He seems like an extremely normal guy, which is great… And he will also be my youngest date this summer at a whopping 22 years of age! Time to rob this cradle…
My First Lady Date!
I went on a date with Ms Take Flight... She is a flight attendant, who is from here but doesn't get to spend a ton of time here with her schedule. We started talking WEEKS ago... and I have really enjoyed our conversations. In all the frustration i've had with guys who are NOT nice... She has been a breath of sweet fresh lady air!
It's weird to write about someone who has access to my blog. Things have been a lot different with this date... We are friends on Facebook, follow each other on Instagram, and we have each other's numbers... And talked a long time before our date. She's a wonderful person (and i'm not just saying that because she will most likely read this)...
On to the date! I picked her up from her parent's house, she warned me that she would have her bags with her since she had to leave town early in the morning and wasn't going back to her parents'. and reassured me that she was NOT planning on moving in with me ;) Her mom came out the front door and got to take a peek at her daughter's date... Which was adorable!
We went to Bob's Burgers and during our date TWO people I know asked me "Have you been on any dates lately?"... To which I responded "I am on one right now, actually" ... I guess people aren't use to the idea of me on dates with women... since I had never REALLY been on one before... .
We had drinks and ate and then decided to go hottub, and since neither of us have a hottub, we snuck into my old apartment complex... which I have family and friends living at, so I didn't feel TOO bad... We swam and got in the hottub and had fun being goofy... Which both of us are great at.
I was supposed to drop her off at her bestfriend's house after the date, but since it ended up being late I told her she could stay at my place (I figured she probably wasn't going to try and murder me) I introduced her to the guinea pigs, and we hung out awhile before passing out. It was definitely a late night and getting up for work the next day was NOT easy. I got ready and then I took her to the airport, we said goodbye and have stayed in touch and definitely plan on hanging out again. She is an awesome girl.
(Okay, stop reading about yourself Ms Take Flight!)
i'm tired.
A cute Tinder story
I woke up this morning with a text from a “gentleman” I met on Tinder. I hadn’t talked to him in a week, but wasn’t surprised to see he had texted. I’m going to use his real first name, and give a quick background on him.
Larry has been very sweet and we had talked a decent amount but he was working a little ways away, so I hadn’t gone on a date with him yet.
Okay… So… I open his text and I am EXTREMELY surprised to see male genitalia… Like, REALLY!? Our conversations had never gone anywhere near that direction and I was shocked… SO, after thinking about it… I decided to find a picture online of male genitalia and send it to him with the caption “wrong number bro”….. I have blurred out the contents for obvious reasons…
And of course, here is the culprit’s Tinder profile… I don’t feel bad for posting this, his unwarranted penis picture was uncalled for..
So yeah… A little advice to men out there… This is NOT attractive, and it does NOT make me want to sleep with you, talk to you, or date you. unacceptable behavior. I’m sorry if my feminist side is coming out right now… I don’t get offended easily… But this genuinely made me mad… I have already been frustrated with the male species lately for their douche-baggery… and this just further pushes me toward feeling that way… It’s frustrating and I wish that this sort of stuff didn’t happen.
Alright, i’m done. Thanks for letting me rant.
I am so completely okay with the wait <3
My Date with Dr. Douchebag
Sorry it's been awhile since I've written anything.. My last date once again frustrated the heck out of me. I went out with this guy who was just in town for the week. He seemed great and super sweet...
We decided to get together and share a glass of wine, a nice relaxing week night. When he greeted me I received a hug, which is always my favorite way to great someone... We sat down and from the very beginning I could tell he was into me... He started to move his chair closer and closer to me... Which was completely fine, but also very obvious that he wanted to get closer to me.
I said something that was borderline mean/teasing... but in a joking way... and in response he leaned forward... playfully grabbed my leg and put it on his lap... Now, this would have been okay... Except it wasn't even 30 minutes into the date. So, moving on... We are talking and I want to show him a picture that is in my phone... I pull up the picture and he gets really really close to my face... Taking this opportunity to close the gap between us... It was a very aggressive first kiss... and given the amount of time we had known each other I wasn't exactly thrilled about it... But to be honest I kissed back... and that was a mistake... FOR SURE. He spent the rest of the evening trying to get me to sit on his lap, kiss him, get any sort of physical touch he could... And I was not having it.
He also told me that he is an agnostic and he said that usually the higher level of education you have the less likely you are to believe in God... (Basically he came to the conclusion that you have to have a lower level of intelligence to be a Christian... OUCH... way to win over the girl!)
To which I said "you have a Masters don't you?" and he said "No, I have my Doctorate!" very arrogantly. He spent the entire time trying to convince me that he is extremely selfless and is confused when people think he is the "Frat Boy" type... Which he DEFINITELY is.
When we said goodbye he of course got a kiss in... and then grabbed my boob.. YES, HE GRABBED MY BOOB... WTF!?
See our conversation about it later below....
Nervousness or not... INAPPROPRIATE!
Whatever... Anyway... He called me the next night and asked if I wanted to go to a Drag Show with him... to which I declined... and now he is back in his hometown and I never have to see him again!
Ugh!
And the award goes to...
Dr. Douche Bag! For douchiest date of the summer! You can't always trust a clean cut blonde doctor! Don't forget!
So, I know I've been slacking on dates, but life has been busy! I was asked yesterday to go out last night.... And this ecard describes my thought EXACTLY in that moment... I obviously made up a different excuse... But oh man, I need to get my butt in motion!
My Date With Chicago
Wednesday night I went on my date with Chicago. He is a Nuclear Engineer and only here temporarily for work. He came and picked me up and I had suggested we go to Atomic Ale... I will pretty much use any excuse to go eat an Ultimate Veggie pizza from there! Right away I knew he was the kind of person that I would definitely hang out with. He was kind of "goofy", but totally confident and quirky. I felt great about the date the moment that I met him.
We got to Atomic Ale and took a seat, ordered some beer and decided to share my favorite pizza... Mmmmm! Chicago was VERY attentive and seemed genuinely interested in my life, which is always a great feeling. He asked so many questions and the conversation flowed really really well. I told him about all the beautiful places he should visit while on the west side of the country... Which of course included Northern Idaho...
We ended up completely devouring the pizza, and I am pretty sure I got him hooked on Atomic. We continued to enjoy some amazing beers and eventually took advantage of the Trivial Pursuit cards that were at our table. This guy was seriously fantastic. I felt really at ease with him and super comfortable. And found out that he used to have dreadlocks, which I personally think is awesome!
After 3 hours of conversation and drinking we finally decided to head out (It WAS a work night after all, or i'm sure we would have gone for a walk) While he was walking I noticed his entire calf was covered with a tattoo... I told him to stop walking for a second and got down there to look at it... It was really familiar to me and I was pretty sure I knew what it was from... So I said "Is that from Metroid?" and he was shocked to hear the right answer... YES, NERD POINTS FOR EVERYONE! haha.
Chicago drove me home and gave me a nice hug and a kiss on the cheek... I can't remember the last time someone kissed me on the cheek like that who I wasn't related to or friends with... It was ADORABLE. He said he'd love to get a drink another time and was on his way.
I really liked Chicago, but when it comes to ROMANTIC feelings, I cannot deny that I wasn't exactly feeling it... But I would DEFINITELY be good friends with him!
After having a not so great date last week, he definitely put my faith back in the men of the world =) Thank you Chicago!!!
Tinder for days! hahaha
My Date with Yosemite
Last night I went on a date with 24 year old Yosemite. I was instantly intrigued by his Tinder profile… which said “I am usually biking, playing disk golf, skiing, tubing the upper sac, or hanging out at the local brewery. UCSC grad, I’m very tall, and can be kind of a nerd.” AND he had a beard… Anyone who knows me knows I have a weakness for tall guys with beards… It’s kind of my thing. Also.. He said he was kind of a nerd, so that was a trigger as well.
After talking with him a bit I found out he is from California and is just in town visiting his grandma (aww). He said he had time to meet up for drinks, maybe dessert, and that was about it. I was totally up for that and after he searched Yelp he asked if we could meet at Twigs. He told me he would be wearing a black Yosemite shirt (hence the nickname) and sitting at the bar.
Before I went out I just wasn’t really in the mood to meet someone new, honestly. I even got a little emotional… And shed a few tears while talking to someone about not being in the mood… I knew I needed to go and it wouldn’t be fair to this guy if I bailed on him.
So I went and saw him right away when I walked in. We had that awkward hand shake “nice to meet you” moment… and continued on. I felt like I was the dominant one in the date and was consistently asking questions and bringing up topics of conversation. He seemed pretty shy, but I’m not quite sure… once getting on a subject he talked more… But I still felt like I was forcing the conversation a little bit. Luckily once we were a couple drinks in it became easier to talk.
I finally brought up my blog, which he was hesitant to bring up… And he asked me a few questions about it. I was more than happy to talk about what I was doing, and he seemed genuinely interested. We talked about the usual “what do you do for work” and about our families. The conversation flowed the best when we were talking about dating and about exes.
He eventually told me that he would like to read my blog and look at it as a “review” on his dating skills… I understand that we were only going to see each other that ONE time… but it did catch me off guard a bit. Especially when he referred to our date as “practice” … haha… But I guess because i’m writing a blog I should have expected it to not be a NORMAL date.
Overall, he was a really nice guy. He was less my type than I had originally thought… Not exactly as confident as I would usually go for, and a bit too “submissive”. But that is totally great for some girls… I just see myself with someone with a stronger personality. I also was careful with my sense of humor as to not offend… I wasn’t really sure how he would take some of my joking. But he will be headed back to California and I will likely never see him again. Good luck Yosemite!
