Friday Night with Mr. Show Biz. Spoke with him on the phone last night for 30 minutes. I like talking to him on the phone. I notice he didn't use my name once- not in greeting or good-bye. My sister and I think maybe he's juggling a lot of women and is afraid to use the wrong name. He IS from the West Indies, but I don't get that player vibe from him. Some people just forget to do it.
Lunch on Saturday with Daddy Warbucks. Not sure if this is still on. I popped his balloon when I ribbed him for name-dropping. Frankly, I don't care either way. I like him, but he's incorrigible and anger-inducing.
Lunch on Sunday with Night Man. He volunteered to drive down from LA, pick me up in Long Beach and drive us back up to LA (when the date is finished, drive me back down to Long Beach, then he'd drive back up to LA!). I agreed to this, because I think he actually likes doing it. He really wants to spend as much time with me as he can. He's very doting. Man, he's doing all the right things, so I can't really break up with him. But he really is too old for me. He looks young because he takes care of himself, but he dresses like my friends' dads, and just has an older vibe. I don't want to be seen out in LA with him! I know, I'm horrible.
Sushi Fanatic asked me out for this weekend on Monday, but I just knew I wouldn't be able to fit him in, so I declined. I really didn't want to double-book my days. Two or three per weekend is more than I can handle. I'm already exhausted by the end of the weekend. I'll try to meet up with him on a weekday next week.
In related news, there is another Bachelor a-coming. I've been talking to him for weeks. But it takes him like four days to respond to one of my responses to his initial email, though. He asked me out for coffee or drinks (aka an audition- booooo!) yesterday, but it's too late to get him in this weekend. At the rate he moves, we'll be meeting next month. Let's call him SNAIL.
There's an unnaturally beautiful/ impeccably dressed teacher across the hall from me in the school where I'm now long-term subbing. I assumed he was gay, but he's been VERY friendly to me. And not in a "Wanna be my fag-hag?" sort of way, although I'd probably prefer that, because I could use a gay BFF here in the LBC more than I could use another distraction.
The ol' bank teller in you is coming out! I wouldn't hold it against him that he didn't use your name in the conversation. Sometimes there's no need to call someone by name. What's most important is that you enjoyed your conversation with him. Mr. Show Biz sounds like a straight-arrow to me.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be funny if after all of the online dating you wound up with the teacher?! What subject does he teach? I wonder if a sub and teacher ever got together at our high school? How scandalous! I love it.
Well, I hope that the teacher asks you out in a non-hag kinda way. Because I want to find out his stats. I think hearing about new people; their stats, and their absurdities (good and bad) is my fav part of this blog.
ReplyDeleteKara: You're so right! I guess he gets low points for "customer service", but high points for being an interesting, thoughtful and genuine straight-arrow.
ReplyDeleteI actually found out that the teacher is a long-term sub, like me! He's been there since December. I peeked out the window today and saw two other female teachers chatting him up (at different times). They're really throwing themselves at him. He's quite the rooster in the hen house! I've had a few permanent male teachers hit on me over the years, so I think hooking up definitely happens a lot (not in my case, though)... makes you think twice about your own childhood, huh? The teachers' LOUNGE.
Booga: I'm curious about his stats, too. All I know is he's seriously gorgeous, great with kids (not that that matters to me), and seems genuinely nice and smart, and impeccably dressed.
