Ahhh, for years I would ask my ex-boyfriend for flowers. On my birthday or valentines or anything! “Flowers aren’t my style,” no joke cause your style sucks, just like you. I went on a date last night and arrived to a very handsome gentleman holding a bouquet of stargazer lilies. I tried not to completely over-react, but my heart soared. What an amazing jester, and honestly I never realized what a total sap I am. To top it off, he already ordered a spread of cheese and a bottle of wine. He seemed really genuine about taking my coat and pulling out my chair and just pampering me. So this is how women should be treated? I didn’t think this type of man actually existed? Somebody pinch me!
We had a wonderful dinner, which ended up being quite fancy. We did a tapas thing ordering several appetizers to share and a flight of wine along with a desert wine. It was very nice and I was so glad I was in my work clothes still, heels, makeup, jewelry, slacks… because he was also wearing a sports coat and jeans, very handsome.
We had a good conversation and really seemed to hit it off. He was a true gentleman too walking me to my car and kissing my cheek goodnight. I can’t wait to see him again. I am really blown away with his attention and thoughtfulness.
The only thing that threw me off was that he did confess to stalking me on LinkedIn, haha. He wanted to see what I did for a living; I guess double check that I wasn’t a total bum. If I had his last name I would do the same, hehe. I also hope he’s not this fancy all the time. I’m a ‘shit in the woods kind of girl’ on the weekends and I hope he has a down home sense of style as well. AHH how I LOVE my flowers though, so beautiful!

80s Rock Star
I really wish I blogged about this guy before I met stargazer, because now I’m unjustly comparing a good date to another good date. I love these good dates; both guys are so much better than piano man! 80s rock star is a genuine guy, real down to earth, and casual. He’s very much a match for who I am in general and we had a fabulous time together. But I didn’t get flowers…
Flowers are soo smart, any single guys out there, bring your date flowers. You may not realize this, girls take them home and put them in a vase, and every time they look at them or smell them, they immediately think of you. It’s genius!
Okay back to my Wednesday night date with rock star. He’s in a 80s cover band, haha. He’s actually a really nice guy, a little older, but really sweet. I talked a lot about babies though, simply because a lot of new babies are coming into my life with my friends and family. He then asked a question that hit me hard. Are all of your friends married and have kids? Wow, besides match dating, I have not gone out with any other singles. In fact, I could only name one friend that doesn’t live in the same town as me that is single. No wonder I’m in desperate need of a dating life.
I really wanted to invite rock star back to my place for some Christmas cookies decorating enjoyment, but didn’t. Not sure what held me back but first dates just seem like they should end there and not go too late. But honestly I should start following my heart and feelings and stop being so rules based.
Here are my rules:
1) no kissing on the first date
2) no extreme drinking
3) no discussion about other boys or ex
4) meet them out, do not let them know where you live
5) do not talk about sex or sexual things
I guess that’s pretty much it, and I guess that’s why I’ve been such a prude, but honestly I want a boyfriend not a one night stand. Maybe I should just try to kills those rules and see what happens, hehe. Then wake up the next day with a hang over and a strange man in my bedroom. Bad idea, we should stick to the rules.
Rock star is out of town this weekend and stargazer is in town. I’m thinking about asking stargazer to my friend’s holiday party… I would love to see what everyone thinks of him and I would love to see him again. And this time have a real good night kiss.

REALLY?
Here’s one of the latest messages I received.
“hi
how r u today
ur profile and pixs captured my attntion .
u r cut and sincere lady .
in my opinion as a doctor
if u like
iwiill be ur way to happiness
doc cool”
Not only does this guy refer to himself as Dr. Cool; but he can’t take the time out of his hectic 'doctor' schedule to type a real email (not text lingo) and spell check. He certainly captures my attention, to award his email as WORSE EVER.

Pianoman #3
I arrived 30 minutes early to my date last Friday; I wasn’t sure how long it would take to cross town with traffic. It wasn’t a big deal, I sat in my car and gabbed on the phone with my sister. At 7:10; I decided head in and grab a table. We were meeting at 7:15pm. By 7:20, I have a glass of wine to sip while I wait, and I’m thinking to myself “should I text him? No, I’m not that girl who can’t handle him being 5-10 minutes late. I’ll just go ahead and order an appetizer.” As I finish my appetizer, the wait staff politely checks on me to see if I needed anything else. Their concern which was the same as mine, “am I being stood up?” was overwhelming. There’s no way I’m gonna be stood up, this has never happened to me, I wonder if I could get a free dessert out of this? Finally a text at 7:41pm, “Hey, I’m at the Domain but can’t seem to find it.” F-ing finally, I text back the SUPER easy landmark that I told him the other night. He sat down at 7:56pm, I know the exact time because I looked at my watch. As soon as I saw him, I was just overjoyed that I wasn’t being stood up that I wasn’t about to bitch him out at this nice restaurant. I should have! BTW- he said he was lost and he wasn’t that late, are you kidding me?
The rest of the date went well, we ate and drank and really fell into some good conversation about music, and life. After dinner we sat outside by the fire pit and talked for another hour. I am really liking this guy and his tardiness is slowly drifting from my mind. It was getting late; I hoped he’d ask me back to his place for another drink. He lives really close, and talked about all his x-mas decorations and I mentioned how I’d love to see them. But alas, he said, oh you should probably get back to your dog. Hum, really I don’t have to, but I can’t invite myself over to his house, urgh, can I? I settled for a hug and an awkward potential kiss on the cheek. I thought he was going in, so I turned my head and the kiss ended up being a half lip to half lip weird thing. Then he said goodnight.
AHHH, I’m going to pull my hair out, I can’t believe that’s all I got… There seemed to be potential here, but the 40 minutes late? The awkward kiss? His aloof sense of everything is driving me insane. This was our 3rd date, he should have gone for it; maybe I should have gone for it. This guy is so frustrating! I’m not sure what I will do going forward; should I keep seeing him? If he was really excited to see me he could have been there early like I was or at least said he was sorry, instead of blowing it off. And he should kiss me, kiss me long and hard. But nothing; I have a feeling that’s exactly what I’d keep getting from him… nothing. I would have to make all the effort and cater to him, no thank you! I guess it’s time to say goodbye to the Pianoman.

Pianoman #2
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, the holidays get hectic. The second date with the Pianoman was overall wonderful. We had a good time eating fabulous dinner that I cooked, thank you, and good conversation over a bottle of wine. A few drawbacks though, he is a heavy smoker. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to sound like a hypocrite, because I am known to have a cigarette or two. But he could barely last an hour before he needed a puff. I just don’t know if I can handle that, I don’t want to surround myself around a bad influence.
We went to the movies and it was great! However, I’m really beginning to think that a movie date is the worse idea ever. You don’t get to really know each other and the awkward ‘should I grab his arm or not’ keeps popping in my head. I wish I would have just gone for it, stop over thinking every little thing. Anyways, when he dropped me off, there was no good night kiss. I was pretty disappointed but didn’t want to force anything either.
We’ve still been talking and might make some plans for this weekend, but not sure yet. Either way, I’m on the fence with him. I really like him, but really don’t like certain things about him; he doesn’t seem to have big goals and the smoking thing is pretty iffy (he said he’s trying to quit).
I do want to continue to see him though, because darn it… I am in NEED of a makeout. I have been so uptight and I feel the need to let lose. I’m not being myself when I’m so guarded and I hate it.
