I finally had one day free last Sunday to do whatever I want. And since I’ve opened my profile on my dating site I was getting a list of men who wanted to meet me. So I took the opportunity to spend the day to take care of some of them. 🙂
Now, before any of my regular readers get “worried”, Sex God and I are just fine. I recently heard a comedian say that “Men like new women the way women like new shoes. You don’t NEED new shoes.. you have perfectly good shoes at home… but you want NEW shoes.” I’m just like a male that way. Yes, I’m shoe shopping for someone to play with who is close to me on days when Sex God cannot be with me, which has increased due to his new promotion.
Lucky I like to drive!
So last Sunday I set up a few meets.
Now, usually I don’t meet more than one man a day. Just like I don’t sleep with a man on the same day I meet him. Not to say I won’t meet a man a day! Haha! Or meet him one day and sleep with him the next day, should chemistry and scheduling smile. But this was the first time I tried to meet 5 men in one day. Oh boy.
I’d, of course, organized it perfectly. Meet one for coffee at 10 am, another for lunch at noon, one for drinks at 2pm, one for coffee at 4pm and finish off with a dinner at 6. I figured one hour to chat with each man and one hour of travel time. But you know what they say about the best laid plans! Oh, yeah.
So Sunday morning I kissed Sex God goodbye after another wonderful night with my hair still in a towel from the shower. I checked some emails, ate the toast he’d made me & had a coffee. Cuz I dislike the coffee at Starbucks. I figured I’d have hot chocolate or something. Then at 9:30 I get a call from my alarm company saying they can’t get a signal from my alarm & want to reset it. Which turns out to mean they want me to set it off so they can set it again. At 9:30 am on a Sunday!?! Are they kidding! I declined. (Lets try it during the week.)
Right after that Sex God calls to vent a bit and I’m listening while watching the clock. I finally get him off the phone and I realized my hair hasn’t been styled and I should have left 5 minutes ago! Worse, I’ve neglected to get the cell number of this gentleman, something I always try to do before the meet for just this reason. So I shoot off an email saying I’ll be late and praying he has a smart phone!
Going 90 down the freeway I manage to only be about 15 minutes late. Sadly I cannot see this guy anywhere in Starbucks. I’m waiting just in case for about 10 minutes when I remember… “hey.. I’m in Starbucks. My iTouch will get the internet here!” Takes me another 10 minutes to figure out how to access it and I start trying to exchange emails with this date. We finally meet by 11 am. What a bad start to the day!
But it turned out ok.. since my noon date canceled that morning. Determined to be productive I even tried to set up a replacement date while waiting for the first guy to show up! It didn’t work so I popped off to Home Depot to buy a lawn mower. Once home I get contacted by my 2 pm date. He didn’t get home from his DJ job until 6am so he’d over-slept. How late can I meet him. I say.. 2:30 ish. So he gives me an address to go to and I miraculously make it on time to the place.
And its closed. Hahaha! I send him a text that I’m just going to find a place to eat and he can meet me there. Seconds later I spot an In & Out. Yum! I was hungry since all I had was a smoothie at Starbucks and toast! I get my burger & sit down with a book to wait. He sends a text saying, “In & Out! No, I’ll meet you at such & such bar in Hollywood.” Cuz he knew I had a 4pm in Hollywood.
So I finish my food and head out…. and promptly get lost! haha! I FINALLY find the bar by 3:40 & I’m able to postpone my 4pm by 15 minutes. My second date arrives and he’s cute but soooo sleepy. And very, sincerely apologetic. Which was very sweet. 🙂 I wanted to spend more time with him, but I wanted to do it elsewhere as there were two guys at the end of the bar which were staring holes in me.
I met my 4:15 almost on time and was very pleasantly pleased with not only him but his choice of coffee shop. Yes, it was smack in Hollywood & parking was a bitch, but it served organic coffee and breakfast, ALL DAY! I had a banana caramel smoothie.. cuz that burger & the half rum & coke I chased it with was sitting heavy on me. My 4pm had a lovely deep voice but was clearly intensely ADHD. Yet I could follow his fast talk, abrupt changes of topic & jumping interruptions. It was almost energizing!
So, 10 am was nice but I got the feeling he was only marginally into me. 2pm was nice but sleepy and could have used a coffee! 4pm was fun but would be wonderful after a HUGE bong hit! lol. I REALLY wanted to squeeze in a meet with a guy on the way to the 6pm but I was running soooo late that it was impossible. I made the 45 minute drive to my 6pm dinner only 30 minutes late! lol.
And I was stuffed! OMG. So I nibbled a quesadilla and completely charmed the pants off my date. (literally.. if he’d had his way! lol) Which was a perfect end to the evening. THAT is exactly what I used to do for every date when I met them for lunch. And somehow, in all the running around, I’d managed to miss doing that.
I sent a few texts to see if any favorites wanted to play… but no one was free and honestly I was EXHAUSTED!
Speed Meeting is incredibly efficient but truly a tricky way to meet men!
Hmmm… maybe if I space them further apart in time and group them closer together in distance….. hee hee hee.
