Alarm Clock Dude

I got on this new dating site called Plenty of Fish. Several guys responded to my ad. A majority of them are either Mexican or African American. I am not prejudice, but I prefer white guys. So, this one responded and he seemed really nice through e-mail. Then, we talked and texted and still seemed ok. We met at PF Changs at Perimeter. I think after all I have been through, I just go with the flow. I don’t really get nervous about dates anymore. So, I walked up and he was on the phone. He waved and held his finger up like just a minute. That is fine; it was more like 5 minutes. I was like WTF…. Don’t leave me hanging. My first impressions are ehh, not bad, but not my type. No wanting to jump on him or anything…. Lol He didn’t even have cologne on. That was a disappointment.

So, we go on to order and having an ok conversation. He works at an airport in Gwinnett County and is training to fly (or be an airplane mechanic) so he is very detailed and just had a blah personality. When they brought out the food, he had a fit about the plates being square or octagon…. Lol

I was like~come on now. I said you have never seen any plates that are shaped out of the ordinary?? Nope. I think he got sweet and sour shrimp and they brought the shrimp out on one dish and the rice in another. He just piled them on the dish they brought to combine and eat off of. I was so embarrassed. They were clinging and clanking…. At least we were outside. I haven’t told many people this because this topped the cake. He was coughing and let one slip out. OMG~I had to turn my head because the smell was freakin fierce. After that he burps and doesn’t say excuse me or anything. I was in pure disbelief…..

We get done and he pays the bill. It is getting late and I say I have to go. I give him a quick hug and say peace out!! So, the next morning as I am doing my hair~I hear my phone go off and I have a different tone for a text message or a picture~so I know it is a picture and know it is from him. Well I go check it and it is a picture of his alarm clock that says 5:32am. Just thinking of you!! Ok, WTF!! I was like come on~I guess it is nice that he was thinking of me, but why send me a picture of his alarm clock??? Did his alarm clock go off and he turned over, got his phone and was like she is going to love this???? Eeehhh……

So, after that I just couldn’t talk much to him anymore. Oh and I forgot he called me Jen….. No one calls me anything but Jennifer except my close friends and family. That just really irks me….. So, he keeps sending me pictures of himself smiling or holding up signs. Just couldn’t even get into this. He finally got the hint after I cancelled on him a couple of times and I deleted him off my MySpace page. Adios to the alarm clock dude!!

P.S. The pic is one of those random ones he sent me. He has a mullet wig that he probably wears to the club or something thinking he looks hot! Not-lol

My boi!

My friend Angela's hubby had a work buddy that he thought would be really good to fix me up with. His name was Patrick. Of course, I started calling him Patty. Peppermint Patty...



Jody texted me a picture of him and he was nice looking. I remember getting the picture when I was at the Justin Timberlake concert. lol We talked for about a week and he was just kind of hard to talk to. It was kind of like pulling teeth. He has a son whom he talked about alot. The thing that got me though is he called him~~ "His boi" Kind of like Big Boi from Outkast. He was very country... I can see him eating fried chicken and collard greens. lol



No, really~he is a printer. So, is my dad so I knew that he was probably a good guy. He didn't do much, so Angela ensured me he would shower me with gifts. haha! The Wednesday before we were supposed to go out, he called acting all big and bad. "Where do you want to go to eat?" I had already told him my favorites. He has never been to Outback or Olive Garden. Those places are expensive. Then he said "Does Red Lobster take reservations?" I was like no, they don't. I was in disbelief big time. I mean, I am very cultured. Go to eat at alot of different places and Red Lobster taking reservations. umm, no....



Angela and Jody were going to make it a double date so it wouldn’t be weird. So, I was talking to Patty about that and he was like nah, I don’t want them to be there, so if it’s like a train wreck~I can just get up and walk out. This was the last draw. I was like what do you mean. He goes to explain, well you know how you slow down to look at car wrecks~like at Nascar…. Yes, well I want to be alone and be able to leave quickly if it doesn’t turn out like I want it to. Ok, whatever. That really really bugged me, so I ended up leaving this long message, telling him I didn’t feel right about the train wreck comment and peace out. I remember telling lots of people about this one. I even told my Dad and he was like leave that MF alone. Lol

So, this was back in March because I remember we were supposed to go out on St. Patrick's Day~Peppermint Patty. I ended up at Park Tavern dancing my buns off with the Blue Jay instead. Glad I didn’t go to Red Lobster, had a much better time.

Then, Angela talked me into trying it one more time. We start conversing again in November. So, the plan was to meet at the Bowling Alley on a Saturday afternoon since he was going to have “his boi” with him. We meet and the bowling alley is having some kind of function, so he just is staring at me~What do you want to do?? I say “lets just go to the mall”. We go to the mall and eat at the food court. He gets Great Wraps and I get Chick-fil-A. His “boi” also gets Chick-fil-a that I pay for. So, not only do I have to buy my own food which isn’t a big deal~but I have to pay for his also. Can you say Rude???

We eat, go play some games and walk around. His son has a cold, so he is tired and ready to go. We walk to our cars and he kisses me very forwardly in front of his “boi” which I was uncomfortable with. One thing is to kiss, but not in front of your kid on the first date. Maybe I am old fashion, but I have standards…. Lol

So, I hear from Angela that Patty is talking about our date. Jody is giving Patty hell for not paying for my meal at the mall. Also, for not taking me somewhere a little nicer for lunch. Lol He is probably hating life right now. It wasn’t a total bad date, but we just weren’t a match… Train Wreck in Red Lobster has to go~ has to go!!
