I decided to cancel Thursday's dinner for reasons you can probably already guess. He's so young and doesn't know what he wants. He seems unhappy where he is and seems to be suffering from a quarter-life crisis. If I were younger, I'd go on the ride with him, but I think he needs to figure out what he really wants and start to make strides to do that. And I got the impression that he really does love kids and probably wants a ton. He says he doesn't know yet for sure, but he talked a lot about how much he watches his younger brothers and sisters and his eyes really lit up. It will be an issue. It's just not going to work out. Great guy, but he's lost and we want different things.
I want to say, "And then there were five," but I'm emailing this new guy right now. He's really funny and witty. He says things that are very shocking to me, but they're funny. I like to be shocked. The "ugh" thing is that he has the word "smart" in his profile title. That seems like an asshole move. But he does come across as smart and witty, so at least it's not a lie. Here's how he responded to my question re: as a Catholic do you believe non-believers are going to hell?
| I don't believe anyone is going to hell... but I haven't met you yet, so maybe you'll be the exception. And then he wrote the following about wanting kids/ me not wanting kids: Relax...or chillax...I do like kids, but I'm a busy guy and a writer, and enjoy focusing on my work too. And you're kind of child like so I could always just adopt you or treat you like a child :-) My sister and I screamed with laughter when we read that. Funny guy. We'll see. |
Okay that first part was funny. The second one was a little weird!
ReplyDeleteI like that guy, I'm a sucker for the funny, and someone that can make me laugh can steal me away before I know what happened (which is in the midst of happening). Keep us posted on.... hey, you didn't name him yet!
ReplyDeleteAvitable: Yeah, it was really shocking. I think you have to see the photos I have up to understand the joke. I'm wearing this over-sized grey sweater with huge, colorful buttons on it. I've been told a lot that it looks like a little girl's sweater, and my ex bf once begged me not to wear it when I was out with him. I assumed this guy's child-like comment had more to do with my photos than anything else.
ReplyDeleteRob: I'll name him in the next post- Daddy Warbucks, because of the adoption joke. And yeah, sharing a similar sense of humor is KEY.
What a kick that Daddy Warbucks is! I don't mind if a guy describes himself as "smart," as long as he has the goods to back it up. Daddy W. sounds like he will keep you on your toes!
ReplyDeleteKara: Yeah, he's a handful, alright. But I'm not sure if it's going to work out now, though, because he wants us to meet in Santa Monica (between where he lives in the Malibu hills and where I am in LB).
ReplyDeleteClever! I like his last sentence. But I cringe when people say "chillax." LAME!
ReplyDeleteRita: Right? It's funny! But yeah, chillax is very lame. Stop trying so hard!!!
