Crunch TIme

Well I have decided (literally 5 mins ago while I lay in bed not being able to sleep and thinking FAR too much) that I need to liven up this blog. It's so. damn. boring. Snooz-er-if-ic I'd say! I think one route I may try is my dating adventures. Or shall we say the Tales of Andi's Harem......

I think this week I will go back and recount all of them.... yup... right down to the nitty gritty. But only the ones I've actually met... well maybe a couple that didn't make it that far too for good measure. It really has been an interesting and bumpy road. And lately, well, a bit of a letdown.

Now let's start by saying that Murphy, as in Murphy's Law, is my bestest friend in the whole world. Yup. We are very tight. He has stuck by my side now for so long I honestly do not know what I would do without him. And yes, he's definately a 'him' as only a male could do the job.

Ok.... so let's go back to the start.....

1) Lee: nice guy but a funny little brit; we had fun and he was a very nice start for me into the dating scene even though we didn't really date

2) Chad: super nice guy; exactly the type of guy I've *thought* I've always wanted; steady job, wanted kids, adored me, but it was just too soon and I was very much NOT ready for what he wanted

3) Peter: artsy fartsy, cutie, but sooooo NOT my type; we still chat and are trying to get together for drinks soon

4) Jason: ahhh Jason, wow did I lust after this one; thought he was way out of my league; we had a nice little run for a while there around christmas but it soon fizzled out by early January; we still chat once in a while but I haven't seen him in person since January.

5) Mike: stable Mike with the good job, owns his own townhouse, but he's a cat person; never really thought of him in the 'dating' sense as I just didn't feel much of a connection with him; still talk once in a while

6) Kevin: by far the BEST kisser I have met yet; wow is all I gotta say about this one; and after much persuing on his part I really liked him only to have it end abruptly because of an ex; *sigh*

7) Pete: high strung and out there Pete; this one was weird because at one point 10 or 11 years ago this guy was my ex-husband's boss; yup, i live in a very small world

8) Justin: I can sum up Justin pretty quick - boring! He has got to be the most frustrating person ever and the most unimaginative also; we talked for a loooonnnng time before actually meeting and I did like him at first but I got so sick of hearing the same things and being the only talker that I ended that one pretty damn quick; we still chat once in a while and he's still as frustrating as ever!

9) Tom: spent one sunday afternoon with this guy and then he wouldn't leave me alone; I even had the pleasure of receiving a couple picture texts from him and they weren't head shots if you know what I'm saying! Yeah - finally had to block him.

10) Rob: Never have I been so damn nervous to meet someone in person; we really hit it off on the phone and online that I was a nervous nelly going to meet him; he was pretty hung up on his ex and I didn't think he was that interested in me and then I
met S a couple weeks later and that was that.

11) Shane: well we all know about Shane; so much to say but yet I've already said so much; the sad part is he could still have me at any moment and I absolutely hate that; I'm working on it but it's taking a bit longer than I expected; I tell ya - those god damn ex's are going to be the death of me

12) Shadd: yes, his name is Shadd; this is the most recent one that I've talked to for all of 5 days and I'm already 'hon, sweetie, blah blah blah'; he won't leave me alone and I'm growing sick of that very quickly; just a bit too eager for my liking

There's also been alot in between there.... Andrew, Rene(who I celebrated my divorce with), Brad, another couple of Jason's, Craig, Timothy, etc... wow I've sure met a lot. You'd think I would have hit it off with one of them by now!

So.... I have to say that I'm definately at a crossroads with this whole 'online' thing. Lately, it's all just been one bad one after another. I wish I had friends that would just set me up with someone they thought I would be great for and vice versa but I guess there's nobody out there like that. At least then I would know that the person comes with some sort of history and I wouldn't have to worry so much about him being a decent person.
