Glasses Dave vs Not Glasses Dave

This life is not one of ease. Keeping everyone straight is starting to get really hard, remembering every one's names, what they do, where they're from, what we talked about. I normally have this problem in everyday life and often just never learn any one's name at all.

Side story - A few years ago I went to Japan, my family took one of those tour group trips. We were with the same 30 or so people the entire time for 10 days. I decided that it would be a good idea to just not learn any one's name during the trip. Instead my sister and I just named everyone appropriate nicknames. This was a pretty good system until our parents would start naming people by their real name and we'd have no idea who they were talking about. My parents did not learn the nicknames system.


Back to present day - The most confusing part is when they have the same name. Right now I've been emailing with 2 "Dave's". In my head, they are the exact same person. Even though they totally aren't. But to me, it seem that maybe they could be the exact same person. You be the judge - they are both Caucasian, they both have some job, they both live somewhere in the NYC metro area (not the same town and don't even ask me where, I forget), they both think they are funny and sarcastic. Same person, right? I think one wears glasses and the other doesn't, thank GOD they have some sort of distinguishing characteristic!! Glasses Dave vs Not Glasses Dave.

I'm wondering if next time I need to cut off a person if I'm already talking to someone of the same name. No, I'm sorry, I'm already emailing with a guy named Dave and I can only have one Dave in my life at a time or I'll just end up thinking you're the same personal all the time. Please check back with me in a few weeks, I'm sure he'll be out of my life by then. Thanks, come again.

Geezer 2

Another age liar story for you. This one had to have been in his 50's, 60's. This is just getting ridiculous. I knew off the bat that he was lying but thought I'd go through with this, at least I've have something to write about. I didn't know this creep was going to be so bad, he'd make me want to vomit.

Here are some highlights.

- I asked him how old he really was on the phone call. He said 37 (his age on his profile)
- However during the phone call he was talking about his brother, who was 62....hm...
- He wanted to meet at the mall (ALSO, WHAT IS WITH DATES AT THE MALL??), then go to dinner.
- I walked towards the mall, he was waiting outside. As I got closer, I seriously considered turning around.
- He asked if I wanted to ride with him to the restaurant (THE INSIDE OF MY HEAD IS SCREAMING NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!), I told him I'd follow him. I seriously considered driving away.
- Food was good at least.
- He sent me this text after and I followed up in the green....his text to me is pretty irrelevant.

- ALSO he had told me that he had closed out his account on the website. When I was checking my mail on Sunday, I noticed that HE WAS STILL IN MY INBOX, BUT UNDER A DIFFERENT HANDLE!!

Bottom line, what a lying creep!!

Lesson learned? Run when you suspect they can get a seniors discount for dinner. And take a hint when they want to meet for dinner when the early bird specials are still offered.

General Updates

Unfortunately nothing super funny has happened recently. But I do have some general follow up updates for you for now.

- I still haven't decided what to do with the Geezer, old boring man, for Sunday. I'm leaning on cancelling on him. I'm thinking about telling him that I have to go to Philly for an "emergency drug intervention" for a friend. (shout out Howard for the idea, holla!!)

- I am pretty sure Mom's House said the words, "I love you, dude", in a recent phone conversation. Um, I'm not sure what to think about this. 1. He called me "dude" and 2. I love you??? hmmmmm..... Of course I glossed over it like it wasn't said at all.

- Going out with Beergarden again. (I cheated on my, then, BF at the time with this guy) Should be a good time, I'm sure. I could be wrong but I'm starting to get the feeling that he might have a girlfriend and/or wife. I'm not sure why. I just feel this way. I guess time will tell.

That is all for now. Saga to be continued.

Geezer in denial

Last Saturday I went out with an old man. His profile said he was 36 but when I met him, he was more like 46 or maybe even 56! He took me out to dinner, produces infomercials, such as Tony Robbins and the Gazelle. He listens to old people's music, named dropped a million times, lives on the upper west side off central park and told me all the famous people he's seen or that live near him. It was obviously a ton of fun that night for me. We parted, I didn't think we'd hang out again, or maybe that was my head wishfully thinking I didn't want to hang out again.

He called this week and wants to hang out again. He offered to come over and take care some of the handy work I needed done in my apartment that I had been complaining about (put up my new shower head, reattach my towel rack). Of course I said I couldn't let him do this for me, we had just met, I wasn't a user. He insisted. He said that's what friends do. Just like how I was burning a CD for a work friend (that's what I was doing when he called), he could help me.

Oh man. Old, boring, lying about his age. Or helpful. Oh man, my head hurts!!

Sometimes I AM the crazy one

Sooooo not all of these people are all bad. I don't want to give the wrong impression here. Sometimes they are normal and cool and I end up being the crazy one I think.

Sometime last year I had met Ted (name's been changed). Ted was super cute, had a job, was really funny, all that good stuff. We went back and forth on email/text for a while. He had me cracking up. So we set up a date, went out, and had an awesome time. He wanted to hang out again and invited me over. Mind you, this was early on in this whole online dating process for me and getting invited over so early on kind of freaked me out. I had accepted but then minutes before I was supposed to go over, I backed out and asked to meet in a public place. I think he thought this was a little bit (ok, ok, a lot) weird and was taken back. I TRUELY ENDED UP LOOKING NUTS! We ended up cancelling that night and rescheduled for another night. But unfortunately for me, it was all downhill from there. Shoulda, coulda, woulda and hindsight is 20/20 and all those other cliches.

Lesson learned - Sometimes they just get away, that's life.

Maybe I'm the crazy one....

Ok. Hopefully you can follow this. I'm including my texts with this dude and then explaining exactly what was going on in my head at this time!!

First I got:



This is what is going on in my head when I saw all these texts: "What a freaking psycho, why would he keep texting when I don't respond?!??!"

Then I got:




Thoughts in my head: "new day, see above"

Then I got:



Thoughts in my head: "I can't take this anymore".
My text to him was immediately followed by a call from him. He obviously did not get the point and wanted to know why I was so quick to cut him off. I explained that it just wasn't working for me, it's not a bad thing, but maybe it's just best to go our seperate ways at this point. I don't do well when I feel suffocated and all of his texts definetly made me feel suffocated. He told me that he didn't "understand girls". He didn't know when to text too much or too little. I said I was sorry but I had to rush off to dinner. And we hung up. IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAD EVEN MET IN PERSON AT THIS POINT. I felt like I was breaking up with him but then kept in mind, I HAVEN'T EVEN MET THIS DUDE YET AND ONLY SPOKEN TO HIM ONCE ON THE PHONE! I am not the evil one here.

And finally:



Thoughts in my head: Ok, he for sure didn't understand the "stop texting me" part of our conversation yesterday. AND he woke me up!!!! AND that is SO passive aggressive to text late at night and early in the morning to BREAK UP WITH ME AFTER I ALREADY BROKE UP WITH HIM!!!!

I have not responded to any of this.

Really, am I the crazy one?? I'm really starting to wonder.

Raj the cheater

I might need to re-name this blog hidden gem of cheaters!! Got this email this morning from someone that had originally contacted me last November and then disappeared. His picture is above. What a winner.

Hi

I am the wife of this guy( we are married for 8 years & have kids) who uses this email id/profile..just found this email id which i never knew existed ..all emails were deleted..i only had contacts ...he admits he did harmless chatting only and is sorry.
I saw ur email in his contact list .I want to find out how does he know you and if he had ever chatted with you/dirty talk/talked on phone or met anyone in person or also waht kind of chats he had if he did with you.
If anybody has any communication saved with him either here in chat or on any online dating website,please please send it to me...its eating me up that what was lacking which made him chat outside.
I will be really grateful.
Thanks
