the set up....or something close

An acquaintance of mine has been telling me she wants to set me up with her hubby's best friend for a little while now. ... I was very flattered that she wanted to set me up with what I consider a pretty close set up...setting up with someone you know is one thing... a husbands BEST friend it quite another... so I finally met him at their wedding,.... the acquaintance and her now hubby :) ... it wasn't a date set up or even close as I met him the night before the wedding and we chatted briefly...me blabbing all my crap cuz I just don't know when to SHUT UP! seriously what is WRONG with me???!!! I am starting to realize I am doomed to be kissing a LOT of frogs due to my big fat mouth! but at any rate we met we chatted and we saw each other the next night at the actual wedding... I thought... mmmmm we definitely seem to be at ease with each other and that is a good thing, he fits my attraction criteria...tall and on the bigger side .... seeing as I am totally NEW at reading these situations correctly I quickly assumed I was wrong later that evening as when I was loading my van up for the evening the best friend aka best man and person that I was told they wanted to set me up with...understanding THIS night was not a set up but merely an introduction... I saw said person making out with another woman who was attending the wedding.... and that pretty much was a wrap! I get that it wasn't a real date.... just an introduction... it just felt really really strange!

I am still chatting with my Bahama babe but I am seeing that this is not really going to turn into my prince as much as I would like it too, just being totally realistic!

as if!!

to all the OLD men out there.... this will never be me! I appreciate the effort but grossed out more!

I have a healthy relationship with my dad thank you very much so no I will not fly to Paris with you anytime please stop asking!!

house party from the twilight zone

Last night was girls night out... I put on one of my favorite skirts a nice tight sweater and the most adorable pink satin high heels you ever did see... and yes I usually plan the outfit around my shoes.. I LOVE shoes!

We went out for dinner...then skipped down the beach to a mutual friends house and the headed off in 2 cabs, apparently they don't let you double up anymore and there were 5 of us, to a house party. The promise and lure of the house party was that there was to be "single men our age" there.....interesting proposal and while I am NOT looking at the moment... happily " kissin" my Bahama babe :), did I mention he is HOT??!!,...

we did all agree to go "check it out"

what we found did not match the picture in my head..I don't think it would have matched anyone's picture in their head!

first the house was big and beautiful, ascetically right up my ally but off the bat there was a noticed absence of any pictures or decor and a scarce smattering of furniture... it was apparent there was NO female living in this house!! the bags of chips that filled the cupboards was my confirmation.

Apparently the gentleman who owns the house ex-wife cleaned him out... that is an over statement!!

the "single men our age" was like walking on to the set of the revenge of the nerds movie set... I sort of feel like a snob saying so but hey this is my blog and I call it like I see it. There were several twilight zone moments. I found myself texting my Bahama Babe for him to come rescue me but it was not to be and so I stayed it out. Now the gentlemen were all nice and eager to entertain us and refill our plastic wine glasses... yes I said PLASTIC! they invited us to go into the hot tub which was met with a firm instant No Thanks. They looked like they were accountants and we couldn't quite figure out how the young 3 girls in their early 20's fit into the scene...we kindly regarded them as the "teenagers" :) extremely jealous of their age or what??!!! :)

It had to be the lamest house party I have ever been to... and I haven't been to many but this one would take the cake.

Next time I get invited to a house party with "single men our age" I think I might take a rain check!

state of mind

There is a certain amount of naivety that is present when you have been FAR FAR removed from the big scary world of dating for a very very long time! It is fair to say that I am green, an innocent even :) ok I am not sure if I can get away with innocent :) but green oh hell ya I am green!

I feel like a little girl in a big girl's arena!

Like Strawberry shortcake going into the same club as .... Betty Boop! not the same league.

Unfortunately this is my current state of mind

I am not sure I am getting very far in the dating world in my current state!
