So Mr. August was located on a site today and within a half hour we planned to meet at Caribou Coffee. I got there early (my strategic move) and he was about 15 minutes behind me. I found him attractive until he opened his mouth and words came out! It didn't impress me that he was wearing a shirt that was clearly too tight for him. I knew he had money by the mini Lacoste shirt he was wearing. You would think, a guy who makes 6 figures (yes, he told me this) would have a shirt that fits properly. So, what does said mini shirt wearing, 6 figure earning man do for a living? He works for Congress and I got the privilege of seeing his IDs and wallet with the House of Rep. emblem on it... apparently, he thinks this is a panty dropper.... um I didn't so much as need a panty change because I was not impressed! He then told me he drives a truck and asked if I wanted to see it.... I replied with "I don't really need to." He seemed shocked that I didn't say "Oh, yes please... You mean you work for congress, make 6 figures, have a House of Representatives wallet, wear a $75.00 mini shirt AND own a truck?!? Take me to it!" What the heck! Then he kept making comments like, "I could take care of you." Um, I may be broke, like, literally ALL OF THE TIME, but no thanks! I don't need a man to "take care of me." He also said, since he lives down the street from me, I should come over and hang out at his place and see his house.... Really dude? No wonder you are single. Are there females out there that like d-bags like this? Perhaps not, since he's single...but then again, so am I and I think I'm a great catch, just can't find my counterpart! Speak of the Devil, I just got a text from him that says "I had a nice time xo" and apparently he sent the same exact message 15 minutes ago. Perhaps if I don't respond I'll get another one 15 minutes from now! We shall see..... I've never been so bored in my life! I told him I walk by his house nightly when I walk Molly. He told me I should call him and he'll walk with me.... that MIGHT happen, in his dreams tonight...but I don't think it will in reality! At least I am one month closer to being on target! Mr. September HAS got to be better than this dude! A shiny rock is better than this dude! Shiny rocks are fun to look at and they don't talk! :) Moving on.....
QUICK UPDATE:
Ok, so after thinking about it, I thought perhaps I was being a bit to hasty and misjudged Mr. August. So, with that said... I asked if he wanted to meet Molly and I half way and go for a walk with us. He agreed. One thing I didn't mention in the original post is, he was constantly rubbing his foot or ankle against my leg. I moved my foot a couple of times but he continued to chase my foot to play footsies. So tonight while we were walking, he kept rubbing my shoulder and back. HOW ANNOYING. Anyone who knows me, know that I don't like to be touched by people I don't know, and even most of the people I do know! So I said, "you are very touchy, feely." He asked if I was affectionate... I said sure when I'm with someone and I know them, but not with strangers or people I'm just getting to know. He then stated "well, we are dating. So how do you let someone know that you are into them and you'd like to spend time with them." I informed him that by me asking him to go for a walk and hang out is an indication that I'd like to get to know him. I don't need to pet anyone to show affection. So, he apparently didn't understand what I was saying because he continued to touch me and I had to walk faster or pray that Molly would stop to break his touchy-feelyness. Yeah, I'm thinking this isn't going to work out! I think I might be TOO independent for him. He needs someone who he can be Prince Charming for and woo and sweep off her feet...that's not me! I mean, I want a nice guy, but there is such a thing as TOO NICE and that's him! Did I mention he's Greek? Perhaps that explains his personality traits. If he was John Stamos I wouldn't let him go so easily...but he's not! :) I gave it a valiant effort, but there's too many "no's" and Molly wasn't too impressed either...no tail wag, no jumping hug.... she was more excited about the walk!
New and LAST Update:
The following is a text conversation that was had two nights ago. Enjoy!
Mr. August: Doing Ok?
Me:Yup
Mr. A: That's cool! Want to hang out later?
Me: Later tonight? (it's 11:14 pm)
Mr. A: Well I'm in bed for the rest of the night, but tomorrow or the next day.
Me: I'm in bed too! Perhaps....hit me up when you have an idea of what you want to do tomorrow. As long as you're not touchy feely...it just make me uncomfortable.
Mr. A: Why does it make you uncomfortable? That's kinda strange. Never been told that before.
Me: I think it's kinds strange that you rub up on people you just met. It should make someone uncomfortable to be rubbed against by someone you just introduced yourself to...how is that not weird?
Mr. A: Have you dated a man before? I mean, that's basically dating 101. Are you attracted to men? It's not like I touched you inappropriately. Have you been a victim of abuse or something? Just trying to understand your viewpoint.
Me: Of course I'm attracted to men, but I've never had any man rub my leg or back upon first meeting them. It's weird...and every girl I've talked to agrees, so perhaps it's you that thinks it's normal but it's not. No, I've never been abused....lol just don't like to be touched by strangers. It's weird that you don't get that. I think we are too different in regards to this... it's really not a big deal. I simply don't want to be touched by someone I don't know. Ok...I'm going to sleep!
Mr. A: Well, you actually do know me. How do you think dating is suppose to work? You're getting to know a person. There's no such thing as etiquette or a rule book for dating. So there's no such thing as 'normal'. It depends on the 2 who are dating and how they feel towards one another. Me showing minuscule amounts of affection isn't good or bad. It's also not out of the ordinary or as obscure as you're making it out to be unless you're not interested. What propagates interest? Well, it depends on the person.
Me: I didn't know you when we first met and you rubbing on my leg was strange. When I tell you I'm not comfortable with it and you continue to do so anyway, that's not cool either. I think we should just go our separate ways since we have two different ideas of what we want in a partner and definitions of affection, dating and strangers.
Mr. A: We talked and got to know each other prior to meeting so that doesn't make me a stranger.
Me: Oh ok...we talked for 2 minutes. That's still a stranger. I talked to the Comcast guy longer than you...Comcast guy is a stranger.
Mr. A: No, this is the first time you told me you're not comfortable. Why date someone you're not comfortable with?
Me: OMG...Take care Mr. August (I didn't actually call him this but I'm not going to put his name up).
Mr. A: No we talked for an hour earlier in the day prior to going for a walk at night.
Me: No you were rubbing my leg 10 minutes into the "date"...anyway...take care!
Mr. A: Are you just not interested and trying to prove to me that I caused that for being slightly affectionate? How does that really make sense? Who cares? I rubbed your ankle with my foot. What's up with the nitpicking?
Me: OMG...You lost my interested because I tell you something and then you argue about it and analyze it. It doesn't matter! Rubbing my ankle with your foot is weird!!!!! Bye. (I fell asleep right here and saw the following in the morning)
Mr. A: Look, you're obviously not into dating me. I did nothing wrong and you're accusing me of breaching etiquette for rubbing your ankle? lol You don't think that's strange at all? No, it's not! You obviously have issues. If you don't want affection, don't date at all. Don't tell me I"m weird because you aren't into me. Just say you're not and quit wasting people's time. Jesus you're dumb (I thought it was rude he called Jesus dumb but whatever!). Please don't text me anymore.
