The End of Bob 2, the Sex Card Guy

I'm posting this as a new thread, thinking I shouldn't continue the hijacking from Cross Your Fingers.


OK, so I met Bob 2 and had a date, he invited me out on his birthday. That was the evening he told me how much he loves sex and put the bill in front of me, mumbling "I'm not made of money." Yeah, I know. I shoulda cut him off then. I don't think I believed my ears, it was as if he was talking to himself.


Last night I got a last minute invite to meet him in email (of all things) but saw it too late to even call him and tell him I couldn't meet him. His plans are always nebulous. I texted him to apologize and he texted me back. It was close to 9pm so I shut off my phone, took my shower, read and went to bed.


Morning. His text was something about why was I so wierd? And a few other jokey things.


Talked to him in the afternoon because I didn't want to chat at night. He has a lot of windshield time delivering tires. And this is what I learned: he's looking to invest in a house he can fix up; he has bad credit, and he rents and lives with a guy. The man is 54 years old and yeah, it was a turn-off. He's financially unstable. He doesn't take care of himself.


He wants to go on some kind of a day bus trip--a fall foliage thing--told me it costs only around $115 and was surprised when I thought that was on the expensive side. I'm guessing he wants me to pay my way. (I'd never let him pay at this point!)


Got this email from him when I got home:


I was wondering why you didn't call or text me after we "talked/texed" briefly.

OK - I am coming into this kinda late - and I am sure someone else said this, but Jesus - feel sorry for him? He is 54 years old? Except for the age difference - he could be my ex-boyfriend. "Not made of money" - scratch him off your list....don't even bother with trying to explain it to him. He is 54 - nothing you tell him will change what a user, selfish guy he it. The only thing I wish I could see - is we grab a hold of the next girl before she gets involved with this guy - shake her and make her snap out of it.

This was too funny: I am 42 and had never lived alone in my life.

Yay! Good for you! It is nice to share happiness - and it is a nice victory with an ego boost twist for yourself. I would go with it!

Petuila,


I am glad you have met someone you enjoy spending time with. I was off the boards all last week.

We're all ears.

Yup. Ears.

But truly, from my experience, and so you don't think it's your fault, 'cause even not knowing what happened, it can't be one-sided-your-fault...

all I want to say is that a date can be terrific, end with a great kiss, and still the guy won't call.

Or the woman won't pick up the phone when the call comes in.

Ya never know.
