Foul-mouthed!

I just got this one from a guy's Must Haves/Can't Stands:

Foul Mouthed...... I can't stand someone who swears or uses inappropriate language or humor.


So I guess I gotta close that match. It's too bad, because I match his other 19. Except the one about good hygiene - just kidding!! But he's 5'6", so whatevs...

At least I'm not boorish, right?

The physical therapist

I know you'll be disappointed that the Inappropriate Healthcare Provider is engaged. It's true, I was disappointed. That could have made for at least one very bloggable date.

You love drag racing?

We're not gonna work out.

I think the next one will be 20

I did a review of my posts because I haven't assigned a number to a potential date in a long time. So it looks like the next one will be #20. Aren't you thrilled? ;)

I've been rejected for not being a sun-lover

The guy that said he likes to shop for vintage clothes also asked me what beach I go to - and I don't, really. I don't really like hanging out in the sun. I sunburn easily, I don't want to damage my skin, and I don't really enjoy being in the sun. So I kinda avoid it. I play tennis in the evening, I walk in the shade, etc.

So I wrote this: Honestly I'm not much of a beach person. I don't really like being in direct sunlight - vanity, and it just gets sort of hot! If that's a deal breaker, I understand. Do you go to the beach a lot? Haulover? Ha ha! (Haulover is the nude beach)

He wrote back: Hmm, although you are a beautiful attractive women, im not sure we would be a good match if your not a real beach kinda person. I spend most of my free time there. I live on Normandie Isle 3 blocks from the beach. I love riding my bike there. Anything to do with the sun, Im all over it :)

I already had suspicions that our fashion issues would clash, and he's not so hot that I'm crying or anything, so...

A hot guy initiated communication

This ostensibly really good looking guy initiated communication on eharmony. I must say I am excited. His only pic is of him on a beach with sweet body - not overly muscular, but niiiice. Gotta get my ass on the treadmill and elliptical some more!

I have such a crush on my physical therapist

A little over three years ago I was in a car accident (not my fault! None of them down here have been my fault) and injured my back pretty badly. I went to the physical therapist that was just opening his own place - in the back room at my snazzy gym. Then he moved to a bigger place and I kept going. I always had a kickass time. He has a partner who is great too, a woman. So I needed some PT and I called them. I was surprised how much they remember about me - it's been a while! Apparently my "cackle" is particularly memorable, and he likes to get me to laugh and then point it out.
I got special treatment since I was one of the original clients - I actually got him as my therapist even though he has a lot of staff. Yay for me! Also got me a next-day appt when I called yesterday.
Ah, this guy is such a flirt it kills me! And he's very cute, and pretty smart. But I've always known somehow that he's bad news dating-wise. Also he apparently likes older women, which makes me at least 10-15 years to young for him. But I have such fun! PT should be this great for everyone. When I arrived he said, "I never made you do that topless therapy, did I?", to which I replied, "I don't think you'd have to make me." And at the end as I was leaving he said, "Next time don't wear a bra, let's see how that goes." It gave me the stupid grin.
It's hard to feel bad about your pain with that kind of conversation going on. Come to think of it, that's how my 2 girlfriends helped me get through the hour-and-a-half it took me to a tattoo when I was in law school - sex talk with the tattoo artist!
Also, I really like this mature discourse. It really stimulates my pondering on world peace.

It's been a while

Wow, I just realized it's been quite a while. Sorry, loyal readers! I had a great convo with the boorishness guy but then he never called again. I don't know why. Seriously. After a while I start to think it's me, except I'm pretty awesome, so it must be him!

I'm currently communicating with a guy that lives on the beach who seems to be into fashion. One of the things he likes to do is, "hunt for vintage clothes," which as you might suspect is right up my alley. Not. But he seems interesting, and I could stand to just meet more people. And he's not a clubbing type - says he likes mostly quiet evenings at home. I thought that sounded lame until I remembered what I seem to favor... I'm sorry, am I boring you? Heh.

Also started communicating with another guy.

I really haven't had a date in a while. I guess it's me? Naw.

Tuesday night

I went out with my friend for Drinko de Mayo - the plan was to go back to the same billiards place because the likes this guy that was gonna be there. I wasn't dying to go, but I wanted to go out and she was bringing some nice girls. I didn't think my fling would be there. It was definitely a nice evening, pretty relaxed. But of course at the end of the night my fling showed up and walked by me a couple times and didn't notice me - although I was hiding under my hair, angling myself so he wouldn't see me. But then as I was leaving I went to just say hi (I really wasn't feeling up to anything more than that!!) and he didn't really seem to remember me. I said, "I'm just saying hi," and he says, very much like a little boy, "I'm getting my drink on," which was depressing. Then I left and drove my friend home!

Monday night

I tried to get the teacher and Gorgeous Guy to come to the dinner I'm hosting tonight with my dinner group, but they couldn't make it. Sigh. I told my friend via instant message that Gorgeous Guy mentioned that he is madly in love with me, to which she replied, LMAO. Sigh. However, I do expect to hear from the guy I spoke with the other night, in the next few days, about a date! I need a date. I've gotten like 20 matches from eharmony in the last week and the only bites have been lame.

The boorishness guy - phone call

I got a charming, funny message from the guy, weeks ago, responded twice, but firefox was malfunctioning or something and the responses weren't going through. So I logged on through explorer and just messaged him, "I've written you twice and it hasn't gone through! Can you send me your number and we'll just talk?"

This also eliminates the waste-of-time messaging period!

We talked last night, and I really liked him. My major complaints: he's a total morning person (I am more like a vampire) and he said he needs to have a house with a concealed backyard because he keeps "a bunch of jalopies" back there. I guess he works on them? These are very much acceptable issues in my book. He seems genuinely nice and smart and funny. So we'll see. He's got a house in Orlando (only been here 10 months) and he's going back this weekend, said he'll call me next week. He is, however, planning to buy a house in Morningside.

I like men that are planning to own a home here, it means they plan to stay. So many don't. I know it's cool to bitch about Miami, but mostly I like it here - but a lot of guys want to leave. I even like the wild parrots that wake me up in the morning with their screechy squawks - because they're in my window sills, and climbing up my window screens with their little feet/claws and otherwise making a tremendous racket. I love those little bastards!! Love 'em! They pair off and nuzzle in the sills, and if I'm quiet I can watch them. My mom enjoys this when she visits, too. My new apartment has them in the windows much more than my old one. I think I'll learn to ignore them, which is good at 6 in the morning, but too bad because I'll take them for granted, those funny cute little buggers.

The graphic design/programmer

On Monday (I was retelling my weekend all week, so haven't gotten to Monday yet!) I was dressed all cute because I was going to my dinner group that night. It just so happened that our graphic designer and his web programmer guy were meeting with my boss on a separate issue, so I finally got to meet the programmer guy, who I've communicated with on the phone and by email for like a year at least. I knew he was interested in me after our last conversation. We're on linkedin together, and I have a photo up, so he knows what I look like. He's kinda cute, but, I dunno. So Monday I go in to meet him and I can tell he's totally into me. It was rather exhilarating!! I was all giggles when they left, but... My coworker really wants me to date him, but today I finally just said I can't see it. He's gonna really like me, and I'm gonna be not that into him, I can already tell.

I had to call him to get him to do some adjustment on our website around December, and he answers and says, "I just got robbed!" So I calmly told him to hang up and call the police. But it was just weird. Like, he's working (at home, I think) and someone in the middle of the day walked in and stole his laptop? My coworker related the story of how her neighbor always leaves his garage door open and hangs out in the backyard doing stuff, and one day people entered through the garage into his house and robbed him. But honestly, I think that's weird too! So ever since this robbery thing, I've kept him off the mental potentials list.

So that's that.

Gimme a Kiss!

A clip that sums up how I feel sometimes - but it's more like, let's see if the chemistry is there before I waste time on this coffee/dinner/brunch/afternoon meal/drink/whatever.
