Been wanting to do this blog for awhile now.
The walk down memory lane, or deleting past dates.
I still have my moving company; people I’ve never, ever talked to since getting their number; and dates, some of whom I’ve met. I’d put them in my phone as E ——, so I’d know they were an e-date. Yes, that’s how classy I am. Klassy. With a K.
Here we go. Wonder if I can remember who was who and which was which …
E Alan–We met at Casa de Luz, just after the holidays (because I said I wanted to eat light). Nothing wonderful, nor horrible. Kinda weird in a few points. Yeah, even awkward.
E Ben–First E date. It was fun. There was NO connection romantically, but we did have fun. Seems like we did several things and I’m pretty sure cupcakes were involved.
E Eric–Wow. I really don’t know.
E George–GREAT emails. We talked on the phone. No, wait, HE talked on the phone. He went on and on about this one restaurant. I said, “maybe we should go there.” No response to that. I think we played phone tag, one of which I totally avoided his call.
E Jay–Had a few dates. He was super, super nice. Older. They say nice guys finish last, and maybe this one did for me. You know I’m big on being a good conversationalist, and he was one! There was just no feelings there.
E Jeff–Hmm.. I don’t remember right now!
E Kevin W–Must have had another Kevin in here, since I have last initial. Not sure if we met.
E Kyle–Okay date at a beer place. We got into politics, religion and all that stuff pretty quickly. I think we both weren’t quite feeling it. Fun conversations, though.
E Marc–Oh, Marc. I think he was cheating on a GF with me. Said they hadn’t been dating all that long, but I don’t quite believe that. I really, really liked this one. We never even held hands. There were a few awkward hugs and after our convo on date three, I knew why. Oh… that other woman you’re dating. Makes sense.
E Michael–Hmm.. not sure which was which.
E Michael 2–Hmm..yeah, no idea. I’m pretty sure it was one of the Michaels that sent me a text over Christmas. Something like, “I’m so blessed to have wondreful friends like you. Merry Christmas.” HA!!
E Michel–Oh, wow. This is the one who, when I went to the bathroom, yelled over his shoulder, “save me some!” He asked for date 2. Date 2 certainly did not happen. He also hugged WAAAAYY to hard. Like, woah. I need some air hugs.
E Mike–Works out at the same gym as me. Or did. Saw him the night before. I was sweaty nasty after a class, he was about to take the next class. A 6′7” African American kinda sticks out. He was easy to spot. I still wonder if I’ll see him sometimes. We did meet. I think he was SUPER nervous and had a hard time keeping the ball rolling.
E Mo–Oh, Mo. Where was it you were from? Norway? Mo and I had the most BORING conversation EVER!! It was like pulling teeth. And I didn’t care to come up with converations topics. And this was just one phone conversation. Needless to say, we did not meet.
E Monroe–This is one of those where, had I been in a different place, he and I could have had a lot of fun together. He was such a neat guy. And I seriously dropped the friend bomb at the end of the first date. Damn. I think I missed out on that one.
E Sandeep–We met, we talked. It was fine. He emailed later with the “I don’t feel anything, good luck in your search” thing. Yeah, no surprise there.
.
As I wrote that, I remembered there was one I met for drinks. It was not a good date, but we were both trying. I emailed with the same thing that Sandeep sent me (basically) and he responded with “yeah, there really wasn’t much there.”
.
So, there we go. My most recent E dates. And when I say “most recent,” I mean ones that started just under a year ago. So go ahead and ask me about my dating. When I say mediocre, I mean mediocre! Sure made the good ones really good, though.
I’m ready to delete those names and get rid of them! I’m pretty sure none of them will be texting or calling any time soon.
