During the time I was unable to blog, I was still obviously going out on dates since it is damn near impossible to find "Mr. Right", instead I find a lot of "Mr. Moron", "Mr.Cheap", "Mr. Wrong", and "Mr. Right Now." However, on the bright side, putting the blogs in now allows me to put in order the dates that were fortunate enough to get a second date. Which by the way is few. Many of them I was quick to pass up and send on for the next unfortunate woman. Sorry ladies.
After about two weeks or so, Mr. "You remind me so much of my ex-girlfriend." stopped into one of the places I volunteer at. I didn't see him come in and the first thing I knew, he was sitting in the chair next to me. "Hey", smiling big he continues, "I haven't seen you in a while." I smiled and asked, "How have you been doing?" During the time of the two or so weeks, we had been keeping in contact through email. In fact, I was really starting to like him despite his stupidity. I even cancelled two dates because I liked him. Don't tell him, he will get a big head over it. Anyway, as we are talking, I look a little closer to his neck and ask, "Is that a hickey?!" His smile dashed away from his guilty face and he pulled his shirt up to his chin. "I...I didn't realize you could see it." he managed to stutter out of his political side talking foot-in-mouth face. "Are you serious?" I asked with a look of disgust. "So you have a girlfriend now?" I asked with a small chip on my shoulder that seemed to be coaching me through this quickly turning conversation. In a guilt ridden voice of a tenor he said, "I was going to tell you."
With a shrug of my shoulder the little chip on it said, "Really"? Because I am pretty sure the last couple of times we talked that hickey was there considering it is beginning to fade." Now he began looking around to see who was in the room and has been listening to his transgressions. Now in a whisper and head leaning toward me he simply states, "I didn't want you to get mad." "Why would I be mad?" I asked making the point we had only gone on a couple of dates and hung out a few times.
Clearly pointing out the hickey, I also remind him of his new girlfriend and not just his old one. "You remind me so much of my ex-girlfriend." Remember the first time he put his foot in his mouth? Now he is going to do it yet again, I think he likes the taste of shoe polish or something.
He leans in and says, "I really liked you but I ended up being with her. We were intimate. I couldn't be intimate with someone unless I am dating them." I am not even going to bother trying to sort that one out. We will just put him into the category of "Mr. Wrong" but with a cute butt category.
At one point of our limited time hanging out, I had asked him if I could draw him. He remembers it now in this conversation. Turning to me with a concerned look on his face he says, "I don't want you to draw me now. Maybe much later when I am not on your shit list." With a twist of my face and curious look I ask, "Why?" He replies as though he has given it much thought, "Because I have seen your paintings and when your mad at someone, you paint it. And I don't want a horse's ass in my painting." I smiled and let out a small laugh. He is right, my ex, one of the painting I did about him had a horse's ass in the painting, literally a horses ass. Well I guess two if you count the guy. Oh well, there will be plenty more models yet to come.
He apologized, I am not sure for what. No reason to apologize because he started dating someone but deceiving me about it, now that is a very good reason to apologize. I haven't seen of him since.

Next day
The next day we meet up where we were volunteering. After doing some volunteer work, we left to go to lunch together and talk. I had to make one stop at a gallery where they were setting up my work for a show that was starting in a couple of days. They had some questions about the set up so I asked him if it was okay if we stopped there. He was excited to see my art, so we went. He walked around looking at the art while I was taking care of questions with the gallery people. I had to take a couple of photos of some of the paintings.
As I was doing that and he was walking with me, we were talking about the art, when he realizes that one of the paintings is a little crooked. As he reached forward to straighten the painting, I stepped back and took a photo of that cute tush of his. He turned around and said, "What are you doing?" I tried to look innocent and said, "Huh, what, I didn't do anything." He replied smiling because he knew I wouldn't be able to get out of it, "I heard the camera when you took the picture." I gave that deer in the headlight look, "You can hear the camera taking a picture? It makes a noise?" I asked completely shocked and a little blushed that I had been caught. "Yeah.", he says smiling, "The camera makes a sound when you take a picture. Bet you didn't know that huh?" Well I do now! I just laughed and said, "Oh look, that painting is a little crooked too."
After we had a small casual lunch we went to a local lounge and talked and talked and talked. After about an hour or so of us talking and getting to know each other better, he says, "You remind me so much of my ex-girlfriend." My face froze and the recorder in my brain just kept replaying the words, "You remind me so much of my ex-girlfriend." "You remind me so much of my ex-girlfriend." "You remind me so much of my ex-girlfriend." "You remind me so much of my ex-girlfriend." "You remind me so much of my ex-girlfriend."
After what seemed like hours but was more likely seconds, I finally blinked my eyes, closed my gaping mouth and asked, "What?" He replied, "I was just saying that you remind me of my ex-girlfriend. You have some of the same traits as her." Again my face froze in what I am sure was a very unflattering look. "What does that mean, I remind you of your ex-girlfriend?" Then every single one of my female insecurities flashes through my brain, across my eyes, flew around the room then back into my brain to the recorder where it continued to play the words again, "You remind me so much of my ex-girlfriend." "You remind me so much of my ex-girlfriend." "You remind me so much of my ex-girlfriend." He realizes that it really didn't come out well. No adorable face or cute ass is gonna get you out of this one. "I mean, the good traits, things that I liked about her.", he was trying to talk around that big foot in his mouth. "You have a lot of energy and are really interesting to talk to and so was she." I came back with just as a ridiculous question, Soooo, talking to me and being around me makes you think of your ex-girlfriend?" Shaking his head and putting it down he says, "No, I was just saying there are similarities. But they are good things." Okay, so I asked the obvious, "Why is she your ex then, why did you guys break up?" "Because she cheated on me."
Then he went on about how she cheated on him with someone that wasn't as good looking as him, that he worked out more than this other guy, and he had a better body, and blah blah blah. Okay, I see his pain. But still it is weird to have some one say to you, "You remind me so much of my ex-girlfriend." That stopped him from getting a good night kiss. We spent the day together but talking is where it stayed.
"You remind me so much of my ex-girlfriend." Wow, that was brutal. I understand he liked her a lot and maybe that's good I have the traits he likes but he really should have phrased that better.

Cutie in the mix
A while back I had gotten together with some friends to have a "movie night", where a bunch of friends get together and watch movies on video. One person says he has a friend who will be joining us. The more the merrier! He is just around the corner, we will meet him there. We walked over and sure enough, there he is and just as cute as a button. I have no idea what that even means but people actually say that. What I should say he was as hot as a steak on a charcoal grill in the heart of Texas. Now that is hot! We went into the recreational room where the big T.V. is and sat down. Hottie and I started talking.
I had seen him at the shelter I volunteer at, he was a new volunteer but only there temporary. He came over by me and sat on the sofa. Between us on the sofa, he put a notepad and pen that he had brought along. Jokingly, I asked him, "What is that for, a test or writing notes?" He very sweetly replied, "I had seen you a couple of times and wanted to talk with you but I saw your hearing aids. So I brought this tonight just in case we needed to write to communicate." Wow, that is very sweet and thoughtful. This guy definitely has my attention. Well, he did already have my attention with that adorable face, gorgeous eyes, and that cute ass didn't hurt either. But now to add to all of that, he is thoughtful and thinks ahead. Where do I sign up!?
We tried to talk a little bit but with others around, we couldn't talk much so mostly we just joked around and flirted a little. He is like me, always smiling and funny. He was younger than me too but hey, what can I do? Good thing I had already seen the movie because I sure couldn't focus on it. I had better things on my mind. Well, actually only one thing on my mind. There was a piece of potato chip on the floor that he picked up and gave to me. He said, "Here, this is for you." I told him that I will keep it forever." and I pretended like I was going to hug it. He then says, "In thirty years, you can show it to the kids and say, 'look what your dad gave to em the first time we met.'" My eyes got huge! Holy crap! I just laughed and smiled and put the chip next to me on the couch. Later I did wrap it up and put it in my purse just in case he asked me about it later.
We exchanged phone numbers, email, and set up a date for the next day. I was smiling for the rest of the night. He is so cute, thoughtful, educated, and has a good job. What is there not to like?
