After things ended with the guy featured in my prior post, I began to see other guys. I went on a few dates here and there with no one worth mentioning. There were however, four guys who made this summer interesting to say the least.
First, is a blast from my recent dating past - The Grown Up Frat Boy aka D-bag. As you may remember, he was a grown up man-child who pretended that he wanted to settle down and have a serious relationship. Except that that wasn't as much fun as going clubbing every night and partying with his boys on the regular.
After several months of not speaking to each other, he sent me a message on Facebook in the middle of the night. It was a short message: "Hey." But, I could tell what it was he wanted. The following Saturday evening, I responded asking "drunk much last night?" He replied by inviting me out to a club with him and his friends that night. For whatever reason, I decided to go. Seeing as how I haven't been to a club since I was probably 23, I didn't know what to wear. My roommate helped me put together an outfit...I wore a short grey shift dress, my big fake pearl earrings, my roommate's blue/gold chunky neckalace and my 4 inch patent leather beige heels. When I met him at da club, he told me I looked good - "very corporate", I believe were his exact words.
It was his buddy's birthday, so 35 of their closest friends had gotten a table and a bottle. GUFB asked what he could make me and I told him to just give me some vodka on the rocks. The house music was blaring, the strobe lights were flashing...I knew I was going to need the aid of hard liquor for this.
The surprising thing was that I actually had a good time. We chatted about non-sense the whole night...joked around...had a good time all around. At the end of the night, I went back with him to his place, but didn't sleep with him. I of course fell asleep on the couch and he carried me to bed, gave me PJ's and helped me take my contacts out. I thought maybe he's not so bad...he seems to be doing nice things.
I left early Sunday morning, but before I left he confirmed that we were going out to dinner the next night (he asked me at da club, but I just rolled my eyes b/c I remembered how he would always make plans and then cancel at the last minute). I told him sure and to call me.
He did call. I met him at his apartment and we walked to a restaurant in the Meatpacking District. Dinner was really good and afterwards, I went back with him to his place for a little. We watched a recorded episode of jeopardy and one thing led to another and yada yada yada.
I left around 11:30 and I remember thinking, ehh that wasn't so great.
That didn't, however, stop me from texting him about 2 weeks later. My roommate and I were moving out of our apartment and Time Warner had come to take away all of our forms of entertainment. We passed the night away by eating dinner, then eating a lot of cake and I drank 3/4 of a bottle of wine. It was still only 9 pm. With a little encouragement from my roommate and a lot of encouragement from all the wine I drank, I texted GUFB telling him he should come over. You would think that a guy would show up soon after that. Instead, here's how the conversation went:
GUFB: Did you just invite me over for an adult play date?
Me: Oh good, you got it. I was worried it wasn't clear.
GUFB: Haha. I literally just walked in from work and I ordered food...come here, I have sex and tv.
Me: Nah, you come here. I have cake leftovers.
GUFB: Cake? I need real food.
Me: (insert last name of GUFB), you dissapoint me. Goodnight.
GUFB: I'll text you after I eat.
Me: Well, hurry up b/c I'm going to bed soon.
By the time he texted me back, it was too late.
We rescheduled the play date for another night. And, it was not fun. He was drunk from hanging out with his boys all day and was being incredibly rude and obnoxious. I ended up not getting any sleep that night because he kept his apartment at sub-arctic temperatures and apparently had no idea where his blanket was. I couldn't wait to get up in the morning to go to work.
I'm pretty sure there won't be anymore playdates.

I'm Back
It's been a while since I wrote an entry so, as I sit here today, hungover from drinking many shots last night, I've decided that it's time to update you all on my love life.
The last time I wrote I had been seeing a guy for about a month and things were actually going pretty well. I guess I'll start with how that ended.
This guy was funny, cute, smart and seemed so sweet. He would get in touch with me on a Monday to make plans with me for the weekend...he never let me pay for anything....he would email me in between dates just to say hi...I really liked him. We went out on three dates within the course of three weeks and for our fourth date, I decided to invite him to my friend's birthday gathering at a local bar. That Friday night we first went to dinner, which was a lot of fun and during which he spoke of us going to the beach together when the summer came. I thought to myself, ok, he must like me if he's talking about hanging out several months from now. After dinner, we went to my friend's birthday at the bar where he met a few of my friends and everyone seemed to like him. I was so happy. After the bar, I went back with him to his place. The next day, things started to get weird.
That entire weekend I had continuing legal education courses that I had to attend. So, I got up around 7 am Saturday morning at his place to go to class. I was a little annoyed that he didn't get out of bed to walk me out of his apartment. I got progressively annoyed as the weekend went on because he hadn't texted or called me to ask me how the class was going or just to say hey. By Sunday night I was upset and worried that he wasn't going to speak to me again despite how great of a time we were having with each other. But, around 9 pm that Sunday night, he finally texted me asking how the rest of my weekend was. The next day at work, I expected an email or something asking me to go out again. But, no such email came. On Tuesday, he sent me an odd email simply asking how my week was going, but not asking to see me again. I wrote back asking him what he was up to that week and he never responded. At the end of the week, he wrote back to me stating that he didn't do anything during the week (I obvioulsy wondered why he didn't ask me to hang out then). However, he did invite me out for Saturday...to bring some girlfriends to meet up with him and his friends for Cinco de Mayo drinking festivites. I knew something was up at this point, so I friended him on Facebook so that I could do somestalking research. Turned out he had just gotten out of a five year long relationship about six months prior to our starting to date. It all made sense me to then.
The following week, I emailed him to ask him if he wanted to get a drink one night. My plan was to ask him what his deal was because while he had become distant, he was still sending me random one-liner emails. Of course, he didn't have time to get a drink and by the end of the week he had sent me an email telling me that he really liked me, but was trying to work on things with his ex.
I got mixed advice from friends, but in the end I decided to reply to his email. I stated that I knew something was up with his ex, which I had hoped to find out about over a drink and that I thought he was rude and disrespecful by leading me on and by not just telling me the truth from the get-go. He responded that he was sorry and that he was so confused, etc etc.
That was the end of that.
Fast forward about two months....I was awoken on a Thursday night at 1:45 am to the sound of my phone ringing. It was him. I figured he accidentally dialed my number, so I silenced the call and went back to sleep. Fifteen minutes later, he called again. I silenced the call and went back to bed. The next morning, I consulted my source of all important information - Facebook. I saw that at around 2 am he checked in at a bar close to my apartment. I then knew the calls were no accident.
So, I texted him that morning to thank him for the early wake up call. He wrote back asking me if he could talk to me later that day. I asked about what and he replied "just, everything..." I have to say, I was pretty excited. But, of course, he never called. The next night, he texted me at 3 am asking if it was too late to call and if so, if he could call me tomorrow. I told him to call me tomorrow. By 10 pm that next day, he still hadn't contacted me so I decided to text him a friendly little message stating not to call or text me at 2 am in his drunken stupor. He never responded.
