Cell Phone Dating Is Kind Of Cool

nospam@example.com (Craig) — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 19:31:48 -0400

I've been considering engaging in text message dating... Mainly it is similar to internet chatting other than you send out text messages and get to connect with fresh people that way. I considered it would be entertaining to give it a try considering that I am just constantly working with my Blackberry. I eventually signed up to TextNDate and tried it out. A buddy of mine sent me the url over Facebook and seriously hyped it up, so i thought what the heck.

Immediately I met this lady from Sugar Land. She sounded very awesome, works out we are into a lot of the exact same tv shows and movies, and are around the same age. We actually made plans to go out this weekend for coffee so I am going to post how it went (and if meeting women with your cell really works out).

I matched many other girls too, a number of encouraging and some somewhat creepy, yet I made a decision to only give attention to just a few because it is a whole lot to manage! I wish I can figure out how to consolidate my contacts on my cell phone, that'd help to make this a lot easier to deal with. You will find an amazing number of females from Houston to choose from.

The greatest element about it was I can send casual messages while I was at work, at the mall, anything, much like I was texting my pals... Occasionally being stuck to the computer gets monotonous you understand? I had a very fun discussion with this one girl even while I had been out for a walk even! Regardless if you find yourself interested in learning the whole thing take a look here to check out TextNDate, I would recommend it for certain.

Emma and I

Emma and I have not been out on any more dates since the last date I told you about in my last blog entry. She had to go away for business to California for a month. Usually her brother handles these road trips but he is in the hospital so he couldn't go and she had to. We have been chatting on MSN and I think she is a really sweet girl but we have already ran out of things to talk about and that is not a good sign. We will see what happens when she gets back. She will be back in a week from now and I am going to get her to either come over to my place or I am going to go over there. I really want to bang her and I won't be taking her out to any public places. I am done with that action it is time to get up close and personal if you know what I mean. I am pretty sure she is going to be really into me because she says she is on MSN but I just don't know if she is the right one for me. The good thing is that I am still talking to a bunch of other girls. I have been keeping my irons in the fire.

There is another girl that I like named Stacey and she is 26. I went out with her on Sunday that just passed. I told her to meet me at this cool coffee place called Empire Coffee here in Houston around 4pm. I got there like five minutes to four and she wasn't there. The place was packed so I grabbed a coffee and found a nice table to sit at. There wasn't much left to choose from but I got lucky because a couple was just getting ready to leave and I snagged the table from them one time. I was sipping on my coffee and watching people come in and our of the place. I was starting to get worried that I had been stood up but finally at 4:15 she came in and stood by the entrance looking around. She was very attractive and I felt kind of lucky that I was the one she was looking for. I sat there watching her slowly look around the room and then finally we made eye contact and she came over and gave me a hug hello. Anytime you have a girl give you a hug hello that you have never met before, I think it says a lot about how open of a person they are.

We sat and drank coffee for a few hours and she was really easy to talk to and she was good about maintaining eye contact. I can not stand women that are too insecure to make eye contact. We chatted for what felt like many hours and around 6pm I was hungry as hell so I asked her if she wanted to head over to a pub and grab some food and some beers. She said yes so we hopped in a taxi and headed over to this pub called Firkin & Phoenix Restaurant & Pub. It is your standard pub with all the usual stuff. We grabbed a seat and ordered a pitcher of beer and 3 different flavors of wings. She said she loved wings so I said fuck it and ordered 3 batches of them all different flavors. We ate the wings and drank the beer and we were having a great time when all of a sudden a fight broke out that turned into a brawl. We both stood up and it just seemed to get crazier and crazier. The staff was involved in it too so we just through some money on the table for our bill and got the hell out of there. We were outside waiting for a taxi when somehow we ended up kissing. The taxi dropped her off at home, then I went home. I have been chatting with her online since then and she wants to get together again this weekend.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. I know I have let a few weeks go by without updating but I woke up this morning feeling pretty rejuvenated and I wanted to make sure I got in a blog post while I was still i the mood. Like I said in my previous entry, I have totally redone my profile and I have sent out a lot of messages to various girls. What I did wa I looked at all the girls that live close to me that I liked and I sent out a message to each one. The messages slowly came in but I think I am done with getting any more messages from that last wave I sent out. So now what I have to do is everyday look at the new users that have joined. Everyday there are lots of new girls that join the online dating site so you have to sort by new users so you can take advantage of those girls who just joined and aren't old news. The good thing about the new girls is that they have not been on the site long and of course received lots of messages from guys. The other advantage to this approach is that a lot of girls will stay loyal to that first guy that they end up talking to and they will stick with him and see how things work out before moving on to the next guy. I am not like that, I try and talk to as many girls as possible at one time because I have learned that women are pretty flakey and life is too short to put all your eggs in one basket.

I have been out on a few dates since I started this process and I am actively talking about 8 different girls right now. Each one is at a different stage of knowing them. Two of them I went out with but there was no chemistry. I liked them but they weren't into me. At first I took this pretty hard but I then I realized it must just be my personality they don't like. The reason I say this is because obviously they liked the way l looked enough to invite me over or whatever but once I got there, they didn't like my personality. I am not too choked up about this now, but I was when it first happened. I guess I am lucky that it was not my appearance they didn't like because that is something I can not change. Changing my personality is something I can actually do. I talked to my friend about it and he was advising me to playback the evening and think about what I might have done or not done or said or not said that may have turned her off. It is really hard to be objective about these things when you are a highly emotional person like I am. I have a hard time not taking things like this personally. People always say to be objective and to not get emotionally wrapped up, that it isn't the end of the world, but it is easier said than done. Advice is much easier to give then to receive and actually implement.

Let me tell you about a date I went on last night. It was pretty good. One of the girls I met, her name is Emma and she is 26 years old. She works for her father at the family company. They are food packagers and she works in the admin section. It sounds like a reasonably good gig. She has red hair, she is tall, and she is thin. These are all the ideal physical appearance attributes that I like. She has them all so it was really just a matter of whether or not I liked her personality. I felt like drinking it up so I told her we should both each take a taxi and meet at the restaurant. She said that Italian food was her favorite so I took her to this cool restaurant called Artista Restaurant. The place was really nice inside. I had veal and she had chicken and we had a brief conversation about the ethics of eating veal etc. She said she had a sister who was a vegetarian and has learned a lot about the whole food industry and was considering becoming a vegan herself. The dinner was cool, the conversation was ok. I was trying to get a gauge on whether or not this girl was my type and also on what she thought of me. I like to think I can read people pretty good and be able to tell if someone likes me. I wasn't sure. We finished dinner and hopped in a taxi toward her place. I wasn't sure what was going to happen when we got there. To my surprise she asked me to come up for a drink. I went up, we had drinks, kissed and fooled around on the couch a bit then I left. I guess it went pretty good. We will see what she has to say now that it is the morning. I haven't heard from her yet today but I am expecting to.

I do not understand women

nospam@example.com (Craig) — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 13:02:00 -0400

Women are so god damn flaky it pisses me off to no extent. I had gone out with Crystal like 4 times and we had sex like I dunno how many times and she said she really cared about me a lot and blah blah blah then all of a sudden she just stops answering my online messages. I keep messaging her and finally I have to go to where she works and confront her and I still don't get a straight answer from her. I don't know if she met someone new or just got bored of me. It is very confusing and now I am fucking hella pissed off at all women. Women are nothing but a fucking problem. I canceled my membership to the online dating site after this event and I have just been moping around angry for the last two months. I don't think men and women were designed to be together. That or maybe I just have really bad luck when it comes to meeting women.

My friends are trying to convince me that I just have really bad luck. I don't believe them but I promised them I would give this online dating thing one more try before I totally give up on the female race. So sigh here I am, posting on my blog so they can all see. Sorry it has been so long since my last blog entry but I have been very depressed like I said. It is amazing how we as human beings can go from being in a shitty mood overall to such a great mood after we meet someone to quickly and instantly back to being depressed and lonely. I know that I am a very emotional person and I am not sure if I will ever be happy. I either have really bad luck, or I am just destined to be alone. I don't really believe in destiny or any of that other crap so perhaps this is just all karma coming back to bite me in the ass for all the bad shit I did when I was a kid.

Anyways, I am starting fresh on the online dating site. I signed up an hour ago and I have been working on my profile but I am not sure what to say. I can't be totally honest about how I have lost faith in females otherwise girls will be like this guy is hella jaded and useless and they will not respond. The thing is, I am so mad that I can't figure out what the fuck to say. I think I am just going to go in and look at some other guys profiles and then just copy theirs or something. Once I do that, then I am going to draft up a generic message and then send that message to all the girls that I think look hot enough to fuck. Yeah I know I sound like a total douche bag right now, but hey maybe that is exactly what I am. I have been told I have a shitty personality many times in my life and I certainly haven't accomplished anything useful since I have been on this planet. Anyways I will update this blog again soon once I do all this shit and I am talking to some girls again. I hope my mood changes.

Tastes like peaches

nospam@example.com (Craig) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 11:21:46 -0500

Last Sunday I went on my surprise date with Crystal. She actually sent me a message on Sunday morning to bring some workout type of clothes and a change of clothes. I was like wtf ok. So I drove to her place and met her. I left my car at her apartment and then we left in her car for our unknown destination. I have to say I was very excited and happy to be with a girl who was prepared to take initiative like this in terms of planning a date and thinking ahead etc vs most girls who usually sit back and let the man do all the planning and work when it comes to going on dates.

So we arrive at this indoor rock climbing place and I was damn so this is how she stays so fit and fine cuz I have seen people on tv do rock climbing inside and it looks hard as hell. I was very nervous and I was thinking I better do well at this or she is going to think I am a loser. I felt like it was a test that she was putting me through and I wanted to ace the test and reap the rewards later. So we go in there and she walks up to the counter and this guy Chad who works there is like "hey crystal what's up girl?" and I was like ahh she knows everyone. So she introduces me to him and then he gives me a crash course in climbing and was like don't worry if you have any problems just ask Crystal cuz she is an expert climber and I was like damn really sweet. She told me as we were getting prepared about all the different countries she has traveled to for climbing outdoor massive mountains. I was very impressed and I have never met such a smoking hot chick that is also this fierce. She suggested I start out on the noobie wall but being the kind of competitive guy that I am I was like no way let me try the wall that you do. I asked her to go first and show me how it's done and show me the line she was going to use to climb the wall. So I just stood there and watched her scale up this wall in like 2 minutes like freakin Spiderwoman or something. By the way her ass looked great in that harness.

So now it was my turn and I have to say that things started out ok, but once I got like half way up I was having a hard time with one transition and she was like telling me what to do and it wasn't working so I just came back down and then she went back up and showed me that one particular part and how you have to swing your foot up to get the next footing or whatever you call it. Then she came back down and I tried it again. That same spot I got stuck on, I got stuck on again but after a few attempts I was able to successfully swing my foot up and get to the next footing and eventually I found my way all the way to the top and I was quite proud of me and so was Crystal and I definitely felt like I earned a bunch of brownie points with her.

After that we drove back to her place and we both took a shower and got cleaned up and changed into our other clothes. She has two bathrooms so I used one and she used the other. It was kind of weird and I was thinking about her the whole time I was in the shower and I was wondering if she was thinking the same thing. How close we are to being naked beside each other and yet how far apart. We had a drink at her place and then she called a taxi and we left for the restaurant.

We arrived at a place called Artista Restaurant and we just sat down and we both couldn't help smiling at each other. She has like perfect white teeth and might just be the hottest girl I have ever spent time with. I was anxious to get into bed with her and I was kind of hoping that after the club I would end up spending the night at her place because the plan was to go to a club after dinner. We ordered dinner, had a few more drinks and were just talking about various things that people talk about when they are first getting to know each other. Somehow the conversation switched to sex and we started asking each other what we liked and don't like in bed. She said she really loves to get oral sex and I nearly jizzed in my pants. I said well, I really like to give oral sex, then there was a huge pause then I turned and sid "check please" and she bursted out laughing. Thing is, I wasn't joking, we grabbed the bill and as the waiter was running my credit card, I said to her "do you really want to go to a club, or would you prefer to just go back to your place?" She said, no I don't want to go to a club, let's go to my place".

I kissed her for the entire 10 minute car ride to her place. We went into her place and she poured me a drink and we sat on the couch sipping our drinks, kissing etc. Eventually I just stood up and reached my hand out and she grabbed my hand and I said "show me your bedroom" and she lead me by the hand to her bedroom. I started kissing her again, then flung her on the bed. Let me tell you this much, she LOVES to get oral sex, and I had an amazing time giving it to her. She tastes like peaches.

Fine dining and fine women

Well it has been a while since my last entry and there has definitely been some cool interesting developments to share with you guys and gals. I got an offer to manage a more upscale restaurant which would mean more money but also more responsibility. I am not sure if it is worth it to switch jobs because what happens if this new upscale restaurant doesn't stay in business very long? Then I will be screwed and out looking for another job. The other thing is that where I work now is very very chilled and relaxed and we don't take things too seriously. If I manage this upscale place then everything is going to be serious because we are going to have wealthy clientele and the atmosphere is going to be much more professional and anal and way less laid back. I am still deciding on what to do, this new place doesn't open for another 60 days so I still have like a week to make my decision.

Out of the 5 super hot model looking girls that I had messaged, I heard back from 3 of them which I was kind of surprised by but I am happy. This morning I went through the online dating site and I managed to find 2 more girls that fit the type of girl I want physically and I sent them messages so we will have to wait and see if either of them reply to me.

So these 3 girls that messaged me back are all really cool and I can see myself being happy with any 3 of them. I know I don't really know each of them very well yet but that doesn't matter to me because physical appearance is very important to me. Call me shallow, call me whatever but that is just the way I am.

I have been on date with one of the girls. Her name is Crystal and I took her to a restaurant here in Houston called Zulu Restaurant. It is one of the best restaurants in the USA I think. I couldn't decide between the veal chop and the rib eye but I decided to go with the veal chop, she got the pan seared salmon. The food and the service was excellent and Crystal looked so damn hot sitting across from me that I felt like a rockstar. We talked about past relationships, our likes and dislikes and it turns out we like the same kind of music and we are both really big into movies which I thought was really cool because my last girlfriend didn't give a shit about music or movies and would always complain when I played my music loud because she didn't like the kind of music I liked which sucked big time as you can probably imagine. After dinner I drove her home and she invited me up. Her condo was really nice and she clearly makes some decent money or got money somehow because her place was really nice - way better than my place. We had a drink and sat and talked on her couch for about 2 hours before I made my move and kissed her. We fooled around for a couple of hours, nothing serious, she was really hot and I was really trying to hold myself back from tearing off her clothes but I wanted to take it slow and not have sex on the first date. It is a rule that I try and stick to, especially if I think I really like the girl and there is the potential there for a relationship. I am going to be seeing her again tomorrow, she wants to take me somewhere and she said it was a surprise, to just come over to her place at 4pm and we will go from there so I will let you all know how that goes

2010 is gonna be cracking!

nospam@example.com (Craig) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:53:09 -0500

2010 is going to be an awesome year. I am starting fresh with everything in my life. I decided to start exercising big time and also start doing yoga. I haven't actually started yet but I am drawing up plans and I joined a gym. I want to shed some fat and gain some muscle mass so I have been reading these bodybuilding forums and getting together a good workout regimen and also a good diet to follow. The amount of protein I am supposed to be eating is quite high and I am not sure if I can stick to it, but at minimum I should be able to at least lose some weight and get a little more ripped.

None of the girls I met online during 2009 really interest me that much anymore. They are all yesterday's news. I want to focus on 2010 and on meeting the kind of girls that I fantasize about. You know what I am talking about don't you? Most guys end up hooking up and meeting girls that are nothing like the kind of girls they fantasize about when they are alone. So that is what I am going to do.

I am really attracted to girls that look like models. Really lean and tall and thin and classy looking. I am not very big ont he trashy, slutty, skanky type of girl. Lots of my friends go apeshit when they see a slutty looking girl but for me it does nothing. It is the same thing when I get dragged to a strip joint. I get bored and I never get an erection and my friends are going nuts and virtually jizzing in their pants sigh. I don't know what is wrong with them, or maybe it is something that is wrong with me but for me strippers are just a big turn off cuz they are so slutty and skanky and there is nothing left for the imagination. I prefer clothed hot classy females. But anyways...

So I have gone through the online dating site that I joined and looked specifically for women that totally meet my weird ass list of criteria. So far I have found 5 girls and I have messaged all of them. I did this last night so I don't have any messages back yet. I think that most of them are probably at work right now and I know most girls won't be logging into the dating site from work so it's all good. I am looking forward to updating you guys once I hear from them

Grab life by the horns

nospam@example.com (Craig) — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 15:22:00 -0500

First of all, NO I have not spoken to Alina since we last went out. I am waiting for her to pursue me. I want to give her space and she what she will do. I certainly am not in a rush so I am going to just wait and see and see what she does. If she chooses never to talk to me again then so be it. It is what it is I like to say. If she does reach out and want to talk to me in any fashion then I know I am golden. My friend hates it when I use the expression 'I am golden' but he really hates it when I say 'it is what it is'. I am not sure why I brought that up but oh well it seemed relevant at the time lol. Enough about this stuff. Let me tell you about the new girl I met and the date we went on last night.

I actually met her on Friday morning online. First she sent me a message saying she thought I was cute and to drop her a line sometime. I am happy because I just recently changed my online profile pics on the dating site that I use and I guess this means that these pics are much better. It is interesting to see what kinds of girls are looking at my profile. It shows you exactly who has been looking at your profile etc so you can check them out as well. Most of the girls look nice but some of them are old and lolish and some even have kids in their profile pictures. I guess they want to be clear from the start that they are only interested in a man that can tolerate their children they already have. Personally I would never hook up with a woman who has kids already no matter how hot she is. I say this because I had a friend once that only tolerated his girlfriend's kid because he was with her full time. He told me how they used to hang out together all the time just the two of them and everything was blissful. Then once the kid started coming over, when she would stay the weekend at his place, her parents stopped looking after the kid and the kid would come too. He was like 10 years old and he was horrible. He told me they rarely had a chance to be intimate and that he would catch the kid eating ice cream out of the tub at 3am when he wasn't allowed to have ice cream in the first place. It is stories like this that makes me avoid women who already have kids.

Ok so back to the story about the girl I met on Friday morning. We sent a few messages back an forth internally in the dating site and then I asked her if she had msn and if she wanted to chat on msn instead of bouncing emails back and forth. So we fired up msn and started chatting on there. Once she was comfortable that I wasn't a psycho she turned on her webcam. She is 27 years old and she is works in an Animal Hospital as an assistant. I really liked that fact because I am a huge animal lover. So after chatting with her on msn for about an hour I told her I would really like to talk to her on the phone and she was like ok and gave me her number. I called her up and we chatted on the phone for like 2 and a half hours. Luckily I have a cordless phone in my house so I was able to walk around the house and go sit on the patio etc while we chatted. We found that we really had a lot in common and I was like well we should get together then and she should let me take her out for dinner sometime and she was like ok how about tomorrow and I was like w00t.

Saturday came around and I had to figure out where I was going to take her. I decided I would take her to this little place called Baba Yega Restaurant which is in the heart of Montrose. It is this little house on it's own and it is a cool cafe type of place with good food and chilled environment. I took a taxi there to meet her and when the taxi pulled up I could see this girl standing there looking around, long brown hair blowing in the wind. She looked a lot hotter in real life than she did in her pictures and on webcam. When I got out of the cab she noticed me and gave me a big smile and I was like wow this is too good to be true. I walked up to her and we shook hands and introduced ourselves to one another which was a bit of a joke since we felt like we already knew each other. We went in and sat down and ordered food and for some reason I started thinking about the song "Hunger Strike" by Temple of the Dog. Who the hell is Temple of the Dog you ask? Well, they are group that was formed back in the 90's when alternative music was very popular. It was two girls from Pearl Jam and two guys from Soundgarden. They got together and made one album but the only noteworthy song was Hunger Strike. I am not really sure what the song is about but I believe it is a political song very similar to Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2. You know I saw U2 many many many years ago when they were on their ZooTV Tour and it was awesome. Bono called the White House in the middle of the show and asked to speak to the President and the receptionist was like WTF. Needless to say, he was not successful in connecting with the old Commander in Chief. They had huge tv screens with weird bulls and shit running and doing stuff. I was on LSD at the time and even though I had a horrible trip and felt like my chest was going to explode, I can still say to this day that that was the most enjoyable concert I have been to. So yeah we are sitting there eating our dinner and I am thinking about Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell. I know it's random but hey that is what I was thinking. So we chatted while we ate and she told me some stories about saving dogs and stuff. There is no way I could ever handle working in a place like that and witnessing animals in pain. I know that it is their job to help these animals but I simply couldn't do it.

After dinner we took a taxi to a place called Scott Gertner's Skybar for some drinks. They had live music playing so it was really hard to hear each other talk and we ended up leaving after an hour or so and I told her we could head back to my place that I had a full bar and I could make her a fancy fruity drink. So we took a taxi and stopped at a corner store to buy some orange juice. I gave her the tour of my place and she seemed quite impressed. Then I put on some music and mixed her a screwdriver. I know it's not a fancy drink but that is what she asked for. Personally I like to drink single malt whiskeys, premium vodka like Grey Goose, and Cognac. I prefer XO stuff like Hennessey but hey the stuff is really expensive. I usually just end up drinking regular vodka like Smirnoff. We sat on the balcony I have on the 2nd floor of my place and sipped our drinks. It was kind of chilly out, the sun had gone down and we are in the winter season but it really doesn't get that cold in Texas even during the winter. She told me that she had only joined the online dating site for about 4 to 5 days before she messaged me. She said the other guys she had met seemed like dicks and only interested in one thing. She said I seemed different and she said she was really happy and that it must have been fate or destiny that we connected at the right time. I always get very wary of girls who use the words fate and destiny. I do not believe in fate, destiny, God, astrology, and psychics. I have a hard time hanging around people who believe in these kinds of things and I will often try and dissuade them of this belief. It is never successful and I usually just get really frustrated. My parents brought me up to believe in things that are tangible. Anyways I am off on a tangent now just like MC Sidetracked. At some point during sitting there I realized that she was touching my hand so I grabbed her hand and held onto it. We continued to talk about bullshit for at least another 30 minutes without either of us acknowledging that we were holding hands. Finally she said "you have very soft hands" and I replied that her hands were soft as well... then there was a pause and we both broke out into laughter. I grabbed her empty glass and walked back into the house to pour her another drink. When I went back out with both drinks in hand she was standing up and leaning against the railing looking outwards. I walked up behind her and in a bold move I put my arms around her and kind of hugged/held her from behind. She reached up and put her hand on my arm and held it gently. We talked about the view or something superficial for a minute or two, then she rotated in my arms so that she was now facing me. We kissed under the moonlight while music played in the background and I felt like the luckiest guy in the world. I had no idea I was going to have such good fortune meeting girls online.

Das is good ya?

nospam@example.com (Craig) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 13:25:31 -0500

Let me tell you about a new girl I met and went out with. She is a German girl named Alina and she is also 31 which is cool because she is the first girl I have gone out with in a while that is the exact same age as me. It's weird how when you are younger you are always going out with girls your own age but it seems like once you hit about 26 you start to throw the age card out of the window and it seems like you are never dating someone your own age anymore. She works for a printing company as the admin assistant for them. She is very very nice and very very polite, she is your typical office worker who aims to please everyone with very little attitude. She doesn't have much of an accent for a German girl because she said she moved to USA when she was 10 years old. She looked kind of like Heidi Klum but with slightly darker hair and not as sharp features... a bit more soft which was cool. She told me that she had been broken up with her fiancee for 4 months now and hadn't really been out with anyone since he cheated on her and left her 2 weeks before they were to be married. She said it really messed her up but she refused to become a sad tale and vowed to get back out there and try and meet someone new.

After hearing this I was really taken aback after hearing this and it made me think a bit about my own relationship and how I left and what kind of wreckage I might have left behind. The thing is though, I know that I did the best thing for both of us. I know that I am happier now and I have to believe that she is happier now as well, and even if she isn't happy, she will eventually be happy because there was no way I was going to make her happy in the long run. I felt sorry for this girl but at the same time I was cautious about moving forward with her because of she had been through. I wasn't sure I wanted a girl with such deep emotional scars because I really don't have any plans of getting into a long term relationship. I mean on my profile page online for dating it does say I am looking for a relationship but that's because you don't get any replies when you put you are just single and not looking for a relationship. So I have been telling myself that I will pursue each girl as if it could be a potential relationship and if I am not feeling it then I will just dump her.

Oh yeah, I took her to this restaurant called Zula Restaurant. This is where we talked about all of this stuff. This was on Sunday evening. The rest of dinner was pretty bland because now I felt like I was walking on eggshells and I knew I wasn't going to be getting any pussy and that I would have to now use reverse psychology on her and start to be the complete opposite of desperate with her. I would have to be a bit of a dick and make her come to me. After dinner I took her home and told her that I assume she has to get up early in the morning for work. Unlike myself because I work from 4 until midnight cuz that is the hours of our restaurant. She was like oh... ok... almost as if she wanted to maybe go do something else with me before the night was over but I think half of her is super conservative and said no just go home because you need your sleep anyways. I didn't even attempt to kiss her. I just sat there in the drivers seat and said I had a "nice time" and that's it. She said I had a nice time too... and then awkwardly reached out to give me a kiss and I turned my cheek and she kissed it. Then she left and I rolled home. I know you might think I am crazy for trying this approach but it is something that requires patience. You will see.

I'm not complaining

Geez has it really been 13 days since my last post? Sorry about that, will try and not have such big gaps from now on. I have been messaging the Serbian girl for the last 5 days and she still hasn't responded yet. I'm not complaining, I mean I had a great time and she wasn't really my type for a long term relationship and besides I dunno if I even want a long term relationship cuz I am really enjoying being single and getting to taste all different kinds of girls. I think that variety is the spice of life and the "spice is life" according to Maud'Dib. If you don't know wtf I am talking about just google "Dune" and you will figure it out. The strange scent of a new woman is what the devil promised in that movie with Keanu Reeves, I forget what it's called but on a side note, I watched Point Break the other night to pay homage to the recently deceased Patrick Swayze, RIP my friend.

Anyhoooooo... let me tell you about last Saturday because it was a pretty wild and unpredictable night. I decided to take out this white girl named Melissa who works as a receptionist for a medical software company. They make the software that doctors and dentists use - pretty boring stuff in my opinion. So I take her out to a nice restaurant called Arturo's Uptown Italiano which is a kickass Italian joint in the uptown area. Everything was cool, we had dinner, drinks, talked about each other, our likes and dislikes, turn ons and turn offs. Yeah things got pretty sexual pretty quick and this girl was hella perving on me the whole night and I was like damn this shit is too easy, I wonder how many other dudes this girl has been with and I better make sure I don't catch no STD'd from this girl. After dinner she wanted to go dancing so we hit up a club called "Blur Bar". We were both in our 30's and the place was filled with young people in their early twenties mainly but I didn't care because I just wanted to give this girl what she wanted which was night of dancing and reckless abandonment.

We were slamming back shooters and drinking beers while we danced the night away. About 1am is when the shenanigans started. Some Hispanic looking greasing dude started like grinding up against my date and I was like wtf is this shit really happening?? He was with 2 other Hispanic greasy guys and I was of course solo with my date. I walked over and put my arm in between him and her and give him a look like back off this is my girl. He started yelling some shit in god knows what language and was positioning himself to take a shot at me, or at least so it appeared that way. I was standing there thinking god damn is this mofo posturing to take a swing at me?? I didn't want to get hit first so I just hit him as hard as humanly possible and it landed square on his jaw. He crumpled to the ground like a sack of potatoes and I turned to face his 2 friends perfectly prepared to deal with the onslaught of fists that were about to come... instead they just looked horrified and tended to their fallen comrade. Two bouncers rushed over and then the next thing I know there were 5 bouncers there separating people and dealing with the situation. They grabbed the 3 Hispanic guys and dragged them to the front doors of the club. Then one of the bouncers grabbed me by the air and leaned in and said that I could stay, it was no problem and that he himself couldn't stand greasy ass hispanics and that it was fun to watch me knock the guy out and said that it was an impressive punch.

We kept on dancing in the club but I felt slightly uncomfortable like I could get jumped at any second that perhaps these guys had some other friends in the club still waiting to make their move. We left shortly after that and went to a coffee shop to just chill and talk a bit before we headed home. She was really horny I could tell, and was saying that she had never had someone fight over her or protect her like that and she was hella getting off on it. I decided to get out of the coffee shop and just told her "we are going to my place" and smiled. She grabbed my arm and we left. When I woke up the next morning, she was already gone... left a note saying that she had to go to work early and apologized for leaving the door unlocked on her way out. Luckily I live in a nice secure upscale building and no one came in while I was sleeping etc.

I messaged her the next day and she said she had a great time and that we should do it again sometime soon. I am not really sure what to make of things, not sure if she just wanted a good time or if she was really into me and potentially wanted a relationship. Time will tell.

Serbian girls are cool

nospam@example.com (Craig) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:15:42 -0500

The other day Tom Selleck came into the restaurant I manage and that was awesome. We gave him the private room in the back. He was with some blonde woman - not exactly sure who she was but he was definitely very cool. Anyways, been chatting it up with a lot of different girls online. I feel like a kid in a candy store. It is really good for my ego to have these girls say nice things about my pictures in my profile etc. It seems like everyone is flocking to internet dating and it's a trend that is only growing.

I met this Serbian girl online and she agreed to go out with me on this Friday that just passed. She said she was a big sushi fan so I took her to Azuma which is a wicked asian place on Kirby. She was very impressed with the place and I think it was the nicest sushi place she had ever been to. We talked a lot and she was very attractive. She was 27 years old and was going back to school to get a degree in biology.

She said she was a big Radiohead fan and that her favorite song was Fake Plastic Trees which I thought was pretty random and out of the ordinary. She also said she loves the show Entourage. I like both of those things so I was very stoked to hear this news Now if only she was into video games and MMA lolzorz.

She told me some wild stories about her country and it doesn't sound like the type of place I would want to visit any time soon. This Serbian girl reminded me of Grand Theft Auto 4 cuz the guy in that game was Serbian too She definitely still had the classic eastern european accent but I thought that was hella sexy. She said she was in a long term relationship for 5 years before she moved to Houston. She said the guy was a total dick and she was looking for someone a lot nicer. I'm not sure if I am that guy but hey I try and be nice and stuff

After dinner we took a taxi to Midtown Houston and went to this place called Pubfiction or Pub Fiction I dunno - it is kind of an upscale sports bar. It was really packed when we got there at 10:30pm and I had to slip the doorman a 20 dollar bill to get in past the crowd. I switched from drinking vodka to drinking pitchers of cheap beer. I dunno, that was what she wanted. They played some good music there and even played "Shimmer" by Fuel. God I love the band Fuel it's too bad they broke up etc would love to see them get back together. Chris Daughtry from American Idol sand Hemorrhage on Idol and after the band heard it, they called him up and offered him the job of lead singer but he turned it down and I was like wtf how could you turn it down! But I guess he knew what he was doing because he fronted his own band and they are now a multi-platinum selling band.

So anyways back to the date lol... my stomach was getting kind of sore from having switched to drinking beer. We left the bar drunk as a mofo around 2am and took a taxi back to her place. We started making out in the back of the taxi and I don't really remember the actual ride over there. What I do remember was how good of a kisser she was and how good her perfume smelled. We got to her place which was a small nice one bedroom condo, smoked a joint on the balcony then humped like rabbits the entire night. My only regret was that I was so drunk... I am not really a big fan of getting jiggy with it while I am drunk... I dunno my body gets kind of numb etc.

I woke up the next morning in her bed luckily having remembered everything. I had a crazy headache and hangover but it was still all good. She was in the shower when I woke up, so I went into the bathroom and joined her in the shower... we went from there back to the bed and I banged her one more time before I left and went home. I was grinning from ear to ear in the taxi ride home and now I am wondering if this was a one night stand or the beginning of something good. I want a relationship with the right girl but at the same time I want to enjoy my single life for a while.

Brazilian Meat Meet Korean Girl

nospam@example.com (Craig) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:24:44 -0500

I met this girl online that is Korean. She is 26 and she moved to Houston from Korea 5 years ago so she isn't fresh off the boat which is a good thing. I noticed that Asian girls in general are hit and miss in terms of looks etc. I really dig Korean girls because they have soft features and usually have long straight hair. Who doesn't like straight hair lol. Anyways, she said she works in a bank as a bank teller and likes classical music. Not exactly my cup of tea, but hey, I should be more open minded. She agreed to dinner so I picked her up and took her to this Brazilian place I had heard a lot of good things about called Nelore Churrascaria Brazilian Steakhouse on Montrose Boulevard. It was pretty cool, the waiters wore these gaucho outfits and there were 11 varieties of grilled meats on swords. There were a lot of meatstick, sword, phallic jokes being made back and forth. I've never eaten that much meat in my life. We were hella full but she wanted to go out after that to a lounge or something. So we headed over the Tasting Room over on Uptown Park Blvd. Even though we were really stuffed we just HAD to try these french fries that come with truffle oil on them. They were awesome and I will definitely be back to have them again sometime. She told me on several occasions that she prefers white guys over asian guys because she is bored with asian guys and white guys are more interesting because they are new to her. This statement left me feeling kind of cheap and used and I couldn't tell where this chick was coming from. She seemed like she was attracted to me, but I couldn't tell what her vibe was and what she wanted out of the evening. She asked me if I wanted to go with her to the Houston Museum of Natural Science on the weekend and I said yes even though I really didn't want to go. After some drinks, I drove her home, and we exchanged a brief awkward kiss in my car before she left... I can't say there was much chemistry felt and I might just bail on her this weekend and see how she deals with that... gotta take the control back

Life is sweet!

My life has never been better... people get asked the question all the time "how are you" or "how are you doing" and most people give some bs response... but I am TRULY happy... one year ago at the age of 31, I left my long term relationship and have been enjoying the single life ever since. I manage a small Greek restaurant and I truly love my job. I meet a lot of girls at my job and I have a lot of fun dating them all. Being the type of person who can't get enough, I decided to try internet dating a month ago and things have been going well. I decided to make a blog and write about my various dates, where we went, etc. I know it's kind of lame, but I don't do much else other than eat, sleep, work, and go on dates. I don't know if I just want to boast, or if I want to help people... all I know is I feel like expressing myself and letting other people experience what I experience.
