What email?

In Date #1, I mentioned a guy that I called M. I feel like I should go into detail about him. I met M when I was a sophomore in high school. He was a freshman in college but he played for the team that my high school played in the state football game the year before. A little information about the game, both schools were undefeated going into the game. It was tied at half time and the game when back and forth. My high school ended up winning at the very end of the game! It was very exciting although my synopsis was not.

M had a friend from my high school that he got my instant messaging screen name from. He was really excited to talk to the daughter of the coach that beat him last year. I actually met him in person at one of my basketball games. Why he came to a high school basketball game, I don’t know. However, we continued to be friends and I saw him maybe once a year at a sporting event or at a public place. Although, I felt like he liked me, I had and still have a hard time believing that he likes me more than my dad. When I went to college, my freshman year, I received an email from him. This email confessed his love for me. I have never shared the same feelings for him, so I deleted it and went on with my life. I never mentioned it and he never brought it up. I actually made up a boyfriend so that he would get the hint or at least leave me alone for a while. M would call me and ask me all sorts of questions about the fake boyfriend. Finally, I really did get a boyfriend and he didn’t talk to me EVER while I was dating this guy. This went on for a few years.

Last year was the first time in probably three years that I saw him. If you read Date #1, I saw him at the Red Dirt Roundup in Fort Worth. I was very glad to see him due to how the guy that I went to the concert with was acting. I’m sure it sounds really bad but I do like M, I just don’t like him the way that he likes me.

A few weeks ago, he sent me a text message to tell me that he is now single. On Friday, he sent a message saying, “Could I ask you a question?” Now, every time I end a relationship, M always has a question for me. This time he asked me if I ever received an email from him! After getting over the shock that he actually just asked me this, I replied, “Recently? No. What was it about?” He continued, “Nothing. I sent it 5 years ago. I’m glad you didn’t get it.” Now, that kind of bothered me because I actually did get it and why are you glad I didn’t get it? So, I had to ask him what the email said. He said, “It was nothing.” Obviously it was SOMETHING if you remember an email you sent 5 years ago!

The next day, M sent me a text message that said “hey?” and then another one right after it that said “hey!” I hate when people do this. If you want to have a casual conversation, call the person. Don’t send a text that says “hey, what’s up?” Have a reason for the text.

I’m really hoping M finds the perfect girl for him someday. I just don't think it's going to be me.

Stuckey Update

As you know, Stuckey has a girlfriend. Well, he may not have a girlfriend anymore. I am tired of all the douche bags out there that think they can cheat on their girlfriends or wives. So I went on a little mission Saturday. On Stuckey's Facebook wall, I posted, "How did your girlfriend feel about you wanting to ask me for my number at the bar last night?" It only seemed fair to me so that his girlfriend would know that he is a jerk. Today, I check to see if he still had it posted on his wall and I found out that he had de-friended me! haha! I'm not sure if he still has a girlfriend or not, but I sure hope he treats the next one better. IDIOT!

Just When I Think...

A friend and I went out to watch Casey Donahew this weekend. We really enjoyed the concert. Casey covered Matchbox 20 3 a.m. and a few Kid Rock songs. I saw some people that I knew but not really anyone to hang out with so we kind of kept to ourselves. This guy that we were standing close to started talking to me. He is from Houston but he is going to the fire academy up here. He seemed pretty normal. Stuckey didn’t start off by rubbing my arm and telling me to dance with him, so I considered this a good sign. As soon as the concert was over, my friend and I decided to go meet other friends. On our way out, Stuckey told me that he would ask me for my number but he didn’t have his phone on him. I told him that it was okay, no big deal and I kept walking.

When I got home, I checked my Facebook before going to bed. I had a friend request from Stuckey and he left me a message. It said, “I hope this doesn’t creep you out. You told me u worked at ----- and I couldn’t get your number because my phone wasn’t with me. If you don’t want to respond I’ll take the hint, but I figured I'd try. Like I said I’m in the fire academy (they do background checks and everything) ((just proving I’m a normal guy lol)) anyway just trying to be your friend.”

Now, it’s okay that he wanted to add me as a friend but he wanted my number. To me, this usually means you want to go on a date. When I looked at his Facebook status, he has a girlfriend. I’m pretty sure if I had a boyfriend and I found out that he was wanting to ask a girl for her number at a bar, it wouldn’t be good.

Just when I think that maybe there is one normal guy out there, he turns out to have a girlfriend and he goes to the bar to hit on girls. Does this remind anyone of another post of mine? Married, engaged, and guys with girlfriends… hmmm

Creepers

Lately I’ve been noticing a trend. If you are married, recently divorced, or engaged, odds are you are attracted to me. My last date was with Starbright. It was actually a good date, we went to Cap Rock Café and I did most of the talking. I guess you could say we had a second date. He came over and watched the Rangers game with my roommates and me. Starbright is a nice guy but there were a few things that bothered me about him. He is 23 and he just got a divorce. I really don’t want to go into the reason he got a divorce but lets just say it was his fault. I have friends that know him and they don’t think very highly of him. There was never a third date. However, Starbright isn’t the first divorcee that I have been on a date with. When I was 20, I found myself in the same situation. How do these people find me?

This last weekend, my roommates and I went out. We saw a few guys that we knew so we started talking to them. I heard this guy that I didn’t know asking about us. Next thing I knew, this guy was rubbing my arm and telling me that I was going to dance with him. In case you forgot, I am NOT a touchy, feely person and I do NOT want a guy that I don’t know telling me what I’m going to do. So I force my roommate to keep walking! She was confused and wondering why we were walking away from everyone. I told her I had to get away from that guy. I was definitely rude to him. We circled around to our friends and I kept my back to Mr. Creeper. Unfortunately, he took this as an invite to join our circle. We had to walk off again! About 20 minutes later, I felt someone rubbing on my arm. I immediately knew that it was Mr. Creeper but I did my best to act like I didn’t know someone was touching me. He obviously did not get the first two hints of me walking off every time he tried to talk to me. Finally, he flat out asked me if I was going to blow him off tonight. He continues to tell me that he is on his bachelor party and he just wants to have a good time. I refrained from telling him “ Yes, can’t you take a hint? Stop telling me what to do and get away from me.” I also wanted to ask him if he was kidding. You are on a bachelor party and there are only 3 of you? Great party…

Once again, I ask myself, how do these people find me? Do I have a sign on me that I don’t know about?

Glitter

The summer before my senior year of high school, my sister was playing in the 6-man All-Star basketball game. She got to meet the All-Star football guys and introduced me to a couple of them. One guy that I met was not playing in the game. His dad was coaching one of the teams. He, Glitter, was going into his junior year of high school. We ended up chatting on AIM (instant messenger) because believe it or not at that time texting was just coming into our lives. (I feel really old.) Before football got into full swing my senior year, Glitter wanted to take me on a date. This is a normal thing except that he lived at least 4 hours away from me. Since he lived so far away and because my family lived literally in the middle of nowhere, I was going to drive to the nearest town that was 45 minutes away to meet him for a 4:00 dinner. At the time, I thought that going on this date was a little weird. I didn’t know him that well and then I found out that his parents did not want him driving that far by himself since he just turned 16. On this date it was Glitter, Glitter’s mom, Glitter’s grandmother, and me. Glitter’s little sister wanted to come really really bad but Glitter finally put his foot down and told her she couldn’t come. Four people on one date is enough!

At the restaurant, his mom and I pretty much carry the conversation. Since Glitter’s dad is a football coach, we had a lot to talk about I guess. Before I leave Glitter gives me a Brighton necklace.

A few weeks later, my high school’s homecoming game is coming up. I only have 4 girls in my class so we are all nominated for homecoming queen. A week before the game the secretary calls me into the front office. When I walk in, I see a dozen pink roses with glitter sprayed on them. Yes, that is where the name Glitter comes from. He has sent me good luck roses. As nice as it was, I think that this is weird because we aren’t even “dating.” We went on one date. I really don’t like getting things from guys anyways and he has now given me two things. I really hope that I let him down gently but I had to tell him it just wasn’t going to work.

Just a little fun information, my school beat his school in 2000 (the year we won state!) The score was 48 to 0! : )

What are the odds?

Okay, I feel like I have to blog about this because this has been the weirdest 2 days of my life. I told you that my blog was keeping a few people that I work with entertained. Right after one of the girls read the No Shirt blog, I got a text from him. I do mean RIGHT after. She was asking me if all of that really happened and I heard my phone vibrate from the text. What are the odds?

When I got home that day, a guy that I have not and probably will not blog about instant messaged me on Facebook. He’s kind of a “ladies man” and we kind of liked each other two years ago but I ended that real fast. I haven’t talked to him probably in two years. He wants me to go to OKC to visit sometime. Don’t count on that happening.

Today, No Shirt instant messaged me telling me that I really should have gone to his game. Then he says, “You know, it’s okay for you to say hi to me every once in a while. RUDE!!!” I told him, “Okay, I’ll keep that in mind.” I love talking to guys that tell me that I’m rude. If he thinks that I’m so RUDE, why is he still talking to me? He reminds me of that pesky little insect. What is it? Oh yeah, a gnat!

While I was on Facebook, I checked my email. I got a message at 1 a.m. today from an old high school boyfriend. As soon as we graduated, we both went our separate ways and only contacted each other on birthdays. I have maybe seen him once since high school, 5 years ago. Usually my texting conversations were “happy birthday, hope you’re doing well.” His were usually “happy late birthday.” He thinks its cool to be a day late because I must be sitting on pins and needles waiting for him to text me happy birthday. In the email he pretty much says that he is checking in on me for his one time this year. I guess that means I don’t get a happy birthday on my next one. I email him back to see what he is up to and give him an update on me. It turns out that he has just moved to Lubbock also for Tech law school. Once again, what are the odds of this?

I’m a little confused at why all these guys from my past are contacting me this week. Do I have a sign on me or am I a magnet for this kind of stuff? I just don’t know. It’s weird. I’m scared of who else might come out of the wood works.

The Weird Get Weirder

Unfortunately I have not been on any dates lately. Considering my luck with guys, I don’t really know if that is a bad thing or not. It might be bad for my few followers that I entertain during inservice though. However, I have recently come across a couple of details that make Yellow Trucker and No Shirt a little more crazy.

First, I got a text message from No Shirt this afternoon. Yes, he still texts me even though I don’t answer and occasionally leaves me a message on Facebook. The text message today said that No Shirt was going to be scrimmaging at Jones Stadium (Texas Tech’s stadium) today at 6 o’clock. If I was going to be in Lubbock, I should come. Reading over Date #2 just now, I left the part out where he invited me to this game the second day that I knew him. You know, when he just HAD to see me before going back to Abilene. He originally told me that the game was over Labor Day weekend and that I better make plans to go.

Needless to say, I did not go to his scrimmage tonight. I went to our high school scrimmage instead. While I was there, I met a girl who just happens to have the same great name that I have. What is funny about this is that she is and has been dating Yellow Truck for three years now. I of course did not know Yellow Trucker had a girlfriend. How was I supposed to know when he was trying to “get his mack on” with me?

Like I said, not much going on in the dating world for me. I hope you enjoyed this little update. I’ll be sure to let you know if anything else weird happens with these two.
