More adventures in OLD...
I have been communicating with a guy for a couple of weeks now, never have been able to meet...until tonight.
His deal: He is REALLY rich (googled him), Wall Street money, lives in a SWANKY part of town, divorced 7 years, three kids.
So tonight, he calls, spur of the moment, asks me to finally meet him for a drink at a local swanky bar (the type I never go to!), and since it's only a 1/2 mile from my house, I said, OK, What the heck, better than watching another "Law and Order" rerun. He looks like his picture and he's a little heavy, but he told me that, and that's not a deal breaker for me. However...
He's drunk as a skunk. After 20 minutes he puts his hand on my knee, I push it off saying, "Wayyy to soon, buddy." Yeah, OK, he's a Wall Street guy and he probably lost more money today than I earn in a year (or two), but... He SEEMS like he would be OK if he was sober, but...
My ex was an alcoholic, I don't know what this guys deal is, not sure I want to. I spent more time staring at ESPN on the TV than talking, I think. And I hate ESPN.
Of course, the guy I REALLY want to get in touch with didn't call, even after he emailed me yesterday that he would call tonight :(
This is all so silly, sometimes.

Hopefully that pic made you laugh a little!
Seriously though, I'm sorry that guy turned out to be such an idiot. Hopefully the guy you like will call soon and have a very good reason for not calling you today. Good luck with OLD!
I literally walked in the door and went right on the computer.
I couldn't possibly tell my sister in law about this, though she would love the story, but it would go right to my brother, who has the ear of my mother, and although this is the type of man (rich)that my mother always wanted me to marry in the first place, even this would make her say, "mmm, maybe NOT!" However, when I go to DC this weekend to see my BFF, she is going to laugh her A#$ off...and probably tell me to date him again just to get a meal at a four star restaurant LOL.
Give me a poor, cute, sober man any day!
My daughter loves those cat pictures. She is always printing them off the internet and leaving them around to amuse me.
Mr. Drinkie Winkie didn't look too far off from that picture!
UGH!!!!
Well, now you KNOW why Mr. Money is single, right?
Hopefully the one you want to call will email you first thing with an apology for not calling tonight and will ask you to meet tomorrow :)
Sorry that happened to you. It makes me almost glad that no one even looks at my match profile anymore.
My six months are up next month, I won't be renewing, OLD just dosen't work for me, and when I read stuff like this, it makes me feel better that no one bothers contacting
Give me a poor, cute, sober man any day!
I think M has one you can borrow. His name is College Style (CS) and he makes a mean dish of speghetti and will even pull up a TV tray for you. Do you like sports? LOL!!!
Seriously though...the date sounded dreadful. From the DRUNKENESS to the "little bit heavy" to the GROPING...all sounds like bad news. Sorry!
I know what you mean about being more drawn to a sober, poor, thoughtful guy more. Heck I MARRIED one of those but that did not work either.
How about sober, thoughtful and financially stable? I know I know...tall order, right??
Dios Mio is right!!!
Tall order, but definitely worth waiting for.
The whole thing is almost laughable. I felt like I was either starring in a sitcom or somehow Ashton Kutcher was going to pop out and tell me I was being "punked". I almost had to keep laughing out loud myself while it was going on.
I did have a lovely conversation with the hostess though. I think she was coming to my rescue!
College Style..I love it. Is the spaghetti fresh or canned to go with the TV table?
