Well, I'm still here...hope you're enjoying my little blog. It's really nothing major but a funny way to update you on my dating life and, if you're bored, give you a good laugh.
So, as you know, I work in Youth Ministry. Well, my latest meet up is someone who wants to leave his full time job to get into ministry (be careful what you wish for!). The first e-mail he sent me talked about how much he loved God and loved Praise and Worship Music.
I'm still trying to figure out why guys feel the need to jump into what I call "God Talk" aside from it being a way to break the ice. Any way, I get all sorts of questions and statements on a regular basis. So much so that there have been times when theological discussions have ensued at the bar (not so bad when you get someone to get involved in his or her faith life again).
For your reading pleasure, I have decided to give you a list of the top 10 statements and questions others feel the need to ask:
1. You must be really religious, do you go to church every Sunday?
A: Um...if you belong to a particular faith, it's a good idea to practice it. I kinda have
to practice what I preach any way...lol
2. Are you studying to become a nun?
A: Nope
3. I've heard about you Catholic girls...you must be "fun" (said with creepy look)
A: Well I am a fun person, but if you're looking for a hook up...good luck buddy
4. I really like all types of music, especially Praise and Worship, how about you?
A: Um...well, anyone who knows me knows that I lust John Mayer (hahahaha), I also like
blues, jazz, rock, hip hop, R&B, classical, opera, musical theater, and the list goes on.
Yes, I can listen to hip hop...no, its not Christian Rap
5. So, you must be really conservative...
A: Define Conservative? I think I fall more on the liberal end though...
6. How do you feel about Muslims?
A: Great...my dad is one of them :) Dude, seriously...they aren't all killers and, if I
remember correctly, weren't the crusades lead by Christians? Were Nazi's Muslim?
7. What's your take on "gays" (I HATE THAT ONE)
A: I love the gays, I mean, hellooooo...
Now if you're asking about my stance on gay marriage and gay rights, I say why
not? Then again...I'm never going to tell my best friend he shouldn't get married to
his Boyfriend. Oh, you think gay people are going to Hell? Yeah...that's the end of
our date
8. How can you be Catholic? Aren't priest pedephiles?
A: How can you have friends? Aren't you an ass? lol...no, seriously, I hate that question
even if its supposed to be a joke
9. Maybe you can make me go to church?
A: Well if you want to join me some time, sure...there's always plenty of room.
sidenote: Why is this supposed to impress me?
10. And my favorite: I was Catholic once, but the church is full of hypocrites/I wasn't
getting anything out of mass
A: The church is full of human people. We're all hypocritical at some point in our
lives...in fact, you've probably gotten that from a friend. Does that stop you from
meeting new people?
A: If you aren't getting anything from mass, 1. What are you putting into it? 2. What
are you doing to make a change? 3. Why don't you find a parish/mass time that you
like better?
Hope you got a good laugh. Don't worry, there are plenty more of those statments!

A Weekend of Fun
so, this has very little to do with dating, but it's pretty funny...
I had a ver interesting weekend, but more than anything i want to know, who the hell thinks it's ok to drink yourself stupid then pick a fight?!
first of all, one of these guys couldn't be more WT. he was a "people should only marry within the race, i hate muslims, arabs are evil, blah blah blah..." look dude, Navy or no Navy, there's really no excuse for small-mindedness. Anyway, tweedle dum and duh started drinking then proceeded to shots. the group agrees to go out to the beach because the birthday boy wanted to fish on the beach.
well, the two jackass guys decided it would be a good idea to see who's magic stick was bigger. then once, the larger guy was established, it became a "whos balls were bigger" two grown ass men showing their peni (plural for penis) to each other. i can't imagine how traumatized the camping family was.
drunkie #1 kept getting in my face to tell me how "beautiful my eyes were" then he touched my earrings and said, "i really like your earrings" to which I kindly replied, "Brotha, you don't know me. Touch me again and I will knock your ass out." Drunk #1 finally stopped jocking me and backed off...lol
From here the stooges started play fighting on the beach. in between, these guys finished their liquor (who knows how much they drank). sure enough, play fighting escalated and these two assinine guys got into a realfight, ruined a friends birthday, and ruined a REALLY nice time on the beach.
one guy had to be baby sat down stairs while i had to babysit upstairs. to make matters worse those dang fools wouldn't go to sleep, so i stayed up until almost 4am baby sitting a grown ass man. i went from a kind person to the warden all in a few moments...lol. seriously...i think one phrase was something like, "if your drunk ass jumps down the rail, you're on your own and good luck"
this is one girl who SO doesn't do the drama. the plus side was making a new friend, sitting on the porch talking until 7am and eating a "fruit salad" from all of the fruit from my sangeria...hahaha
needless to say, i was a little tired the next day and it was a TOTAL F my life moment. Oh the memories...such fun!
Oddly enough, even though I worked all weekend and dealt with the drama, it was so nice to be at the Beach House/on the beach with people my own age. Maybe my luck will start to take a turn for the better...

WTF....SERIOUSLY?!
So, met a guy online, seemed nice enough. He saw a few more pictures and then our e-mail exchange became the following:
Douchie guy "You look like you could get into trouble"
Me: "What's that supposed to me"
Douchie guy: "Oh nothing, just that you are a little devious"
Me: "And just what does that mean?"
Douchie guy: "That you'd be fun and a girl who knows how to have a good time and cause some trouble"
Me: "Look dude, are you looking for a hook up? Because seriously, if you are, you're barking up the wrong tree. Go find a girl looking for the hook up because I'm looking for the real deal."
Douchie guy: "Uh, no...that's not what I meant, just thought you'd be fun to um...hang out with"
Me: "Oh ok, because that's not the vibe I was getting from you, sorry if I assumed the wrong thing"
Douchie guy: "Yeah, um...I just thought you know, we could "hang out" because you could be a good time"
Me: "Like, to hang out, right? Then sure, I'm game"
Douchie guy: "Well, what do you like? You know...what do you like to do? Are you a "Fun girl" or a little dirty"
Me: Good bye...

Rico Suave
So I had a mini-stalker on match. He had been asking me out and I had been avoiding him for months...finally, after e-mails and feeling bad I finally say, "OKAY, I'LL GO OUT WITH YOU." Okay, you got me...I didn't scream at him, but my inner self sure did. So I agreed to meet up with him at one of my favorite bars (free drinks, why not?!)
Here's how the date went. I walked up and noticed he was talking to a girl. I'm thinking, maybe he brought a friend and we were looking at a friend thing. She walked off as soon as I got there and then he said she was a weird-o that wouldn't leave him alone (birds of a feather).
We go to the bar and grab a few beers. Ok, it's already a bad sign when you are chattier with the bartender than your own date. Any way, I digress...
We went out...conversation was ok, not spectacular, but ok. Then, when I finished my drink, the waitress asked if we wanted another round. He was polite; HOWERVER, when I couldn't remember my drink, he said, you need to just drink what I'm drinking. I resisited, he insisted...not going so great.
Then, I knew it was going down hill when a group of middle-aged beer bellied men arrived to do a beer tasting and, sadly, this group was more interesting to watch than the conversation. I'm a chatty girl and there were very significant lulls in the conversation. Ok, time goes on like this, I keep drinking, and then decided I need to go.
Well, he decides to walk me to my car (great). We're there, he leans in for the kiss.
1. the kiss was a TOTAL surprise.
2. he SLOBBERED ON MY FACE!!!!!
YES, I had to wipe around my mouth to get the slobber off. THEN, he went in for a second kiss. that time I managed to escape the slobber.
Well, my drive home was followed by a phone call. The week since the date included dodging like 3 dates, rescheduling, and he is STILL insisting on going out. Hopefully he's finally gotten the hint, but, if not and I go out again, I'll have to make sure to bring napkins because I'm sure I'll be in store for another slobber-filled kiss.

so...new dating
well, i'm officially on my free 6months of match.com. Dr. Phil is staying true to his promise, so I'm trying to stay open minded.
Obviously I didn't meet any keepers during my "paid time" and the free stuff isn't looking much better. Then again, you get what you pay for in life! hahahaha...
Here's the thing about online dating...you really just don't know what you're going to get. i mean, you think a guy is going to be decent then you realize the pictures he posted were about 15 years old. you go looking for one person only to find an older less fun version of himself.
we met up for dinner (hey, he's paying and a girls gotta eat). total friends vibe. i have to say, i think he was a little disappointed, but hey, at least i look like my photos. to make matters worse, i come to find that he has no ambition, doesn't like his job but is too unmotivated to do anything about it, and is a jaded male who swears his friends "put him up to it." I mean, he was nice enough, but I wasn't feeling it. I wasn't really attracted to him (we all know I'm psuedo shallow), the things I found interesting, he thought were boring, and, while the date conversation was decent, there was definitely a "just friends" vibe. over all, I'd give the date:
3 stars for food
3.5 stars for conversation
2 stars for romantic vibes
would I go out with him again? nah, probably not...I hope he finds someone he's looking for

Date and Regurgitate
So, a lot has happened in the year of 28. I have decided that, as I embrace 29, celebrate what's left in my 20s, and jump full force back into the dating world, I thought I'd share a bit of my experiences with you.
Can't say that I have to most interesting dating experiences, but I'm definitely going to be honest. Whether it's positive or negative, it's definitely me. Who knows, maybe I'll even end up surprising myself!
