thankfully he wasn't an ogre. but he wasn't prince charming either. funny enough. nice enough, with all the opening doors and paying. had a lot of qualities i'm looking for in my dude. EXCEPT for nice teeth. and a nice face.
i've maintained that i'm going to be open-minded about looks and not totally reject someone right away if their profile pictures don't blow me away...some people just aren't photogenic. and i reason that the best boyfriend i've ever had was in high school (pathetic i know) and i wasn't attracted to him at first either. and considering my past with hot, but bad dudes, i figure maybe i should concentrate on more than just abs and a winning smile.
so after about the third beverage, i'd made up my mind that he was a great guy just not s someone i'd ever want to cuddle with... in fact the idea of him touching me creeped me out because he had weird hands. something odd about his fingernails. plus he smelled like a guy i used to be friends with until he decided he had feelings for me and got all weird.
and really he wasn't an ogre. he was clean and groomed and even got a haircut that day. i'm maybe just picky? weird? over concerned? with things like how people's hands and teeth look and how they smell. he didn't smell bad. but his pheremones just weren't jiving with mine.
even so, we went to play pool after drinks since i learned that the power was out at home. playing pool with a funny guy beat sweltering at home in the dark.
so at the end of the evening he dropped me off at my car and invited me in. . uh, awkward. luckily i had the excuse of taking the monchichi to 6 flags today. and the monchichi? he's my favorite boy EVER!
the bright side is i had a convo with the fed thursday night. and he had a very seksy voice. airforce dude and i keep exchanging vmails. we'll see what happens.
on the other hand, i've received the following emails from two very attractive men. too bad they're creepy and can't write for shite:
No good tips as if I did I would not need this site. lol Thats funny about the ice cream. So did you also eat an ice cream, and did you have some great seafood in Boston or what. Well I have been in California for a little longer then 3 years and I love it. Love the weather and also love that you can see so mnay beautiful places. Well some of my favorite places are Napa Valley. I love wine tasting. Don't worry I won't get you buzzed and try and take advantage of you. lolol j/k I love going into the city to try different restaurants. Love Tahoe as it is awesome and just so beautiful. I love playing softball, cooking, reading, also love taking scenic drives. Love Carmel and the ride along the coast.
And say thanks to your mom (this is in reference to me thanking him for saying i'm attractive. i said, really i have my mom thank for that or something like that)
my problem with this and his previous email is the excessive use of lol and j/k. huge pet peeve of mine. we're not texting. the second problem is his lame joke about getting my buzzed. gross. even if it is a joke. i can think of better jokes to make.
the second email requires no explanation:
Hi!, Im a white guy from sac town lookin for a good w00man who can handle her business!! You look like alot of fun. Text me @ 955-1793, Ill rock your world!! C-YA!
seriously. this came from a 30 year old man. OY!
so....luckily, i still have the monchichi.

At least you are out there dating and testing the water... I can even manage to get that much, and when I do, I am totally disappointed. blech.
Love the pic of the little one. So cute.
Bad teeth are one of my biggest "looks" issues. Anyone with an awful grill would be out of my book too.
what a cute little boy! Yes, at least you have him.
I don't blame you about the teeth at all. They don't have to be perfect but at least easy to look at.
Sounds like you have your hands full with the boys out there. Just try to enjoy yourself and keep seeing what's out there. No rush!
When did men become such losers? I'm not talking about the guy you had a date with. Even though sparks didn't fly, he seemed like a very nice guy. But the other two ... ugh. Especially the last one! Cute photo of your monchichi, though.
I love this sh*t! People are so dumb I can't believe it! Do they NOT realize this is the first impression they leave on people? OMG.
I'm glad you're smart enough to realize you can do soooo much better! Can't wait to read about the next guy.
Oh, MPA...I can SO relate to your online dating exploits. The horribly written emails; the men with hangups; the ones who are not horrible but not fabulous, either; and so on.
I agree with Teacherwoman: It is HUGE that you're out there and not sitting on the sidelines. Some people sit their whole lives.
Keep us posted. I check in from time to time. Lots new with me...not what you're probably thinking, but I do have a story. May put it on the blog soon. Or not. I'll have to see .
