I think most girls would agree you seem like an ass

Read this guys profile. I consider myself a CA girl. But don't make out with every guy in a bar- only one or two.

Should I file a restraining order?

So the stalker that has been texting me everyday since Thursday or Friday, mind you with me giving him no response, just emailed me.
How soon should I file a restraining order?



- Posted by Jen and her crazy online dating adventures from her iPhone

I bent a rim...

Awesome. Maybe during our date we can pretend like I'm at work still and sell you a wheel.
Because that's just what I want to do after work, go back to work.






- Posted by Jen and her crazy online dating adventures from her iPhone

No, I'm not interested.

Yeah, I haven't emailed you back in over 2 weeks, but I'm still interested buddy.



- Posted by Jen and her crazy online dating adventures from her iPhone

Yes. We have a stalker!

I have to admit. I do like the fact that he adds an extra i after each time.

First date leads to a second date

My first date was awesome. We actually dressed up, he wore a tie and I wore a dress I found in my closet. Not the one I wanted to wear but whatever. I had no time to go shopping for a new dress. We met in old town and had dinner- he asked me if I was nervous. I said no? He replied oh because you're drinking your beer fast. My response: "oh. I love beer. And I'm an alcoholic".
We then went to the old globe theatre. And watched the tempest. First row seats. This guy is class A. I had a lot of fun and have never laughed so much on a date ever. I think it had a lot to do with me not acting like my normal self where I stress and try and find out if this guy is worth my time. I just had fun. Didn't think about the future or anything. Just went with it. We have another date on Wednesday night.

And I'm done.

This guy really knows how to start and hold a conversation.

Last I checked I was not a man so therefore could not be wished a father because I am not one. Weird.


- Posted by Jen and her crazy online dating adventures from her iPhone

This is just wrong

I, of course, said no.




- Posted by Jen and her crazy online dating adventures from her iPhone

Nothing to wear...

Well this is perfect. My Wonderful Mom is on a cruise right now- and I totally forgot I let her borrow my dresses! I am going out to dinner and a play with my date and I do not have a dress to wear. Nor shoes because she jacked my new pair of heels prior to leaving. And I have approximately 45 min until I need to leave. FMDL. D stands for dating :-D.

If you're old enough to be my Dad I will not be able to date you

This "fabulous" guy winked at me. Too old for me. I have an aunt who's single though.



- Posted by Jen and her crazy online dating adventures from her iPhone

Beginnings of a stalker?

You would think my unresponsiveness would be a hint I'm not interested. Isn't that what guys do?

My Dad's reaction to my online dating...

Me: Dad can you watch Matthew tonight so I can get Sushi with my friends?
My Dad: Sushi?! What?? Fine.
Me: And tomorrow night I have a date, can you watch Matthew tomorrow night too please?
My Dad: With What?!
Me: What? Hahaha You said with what?! hahaha
My Dad: Where'd you meet this cat at?
Me: Match.com
My Dad: What?! Why are you doing that physco sh**.

LOVE MY DAD!!

I wanna talk about me, wanna talk about I, wanna talk about #1 oh my me

I, I and I. I asked him how his day was- expecting him to take that then give some. But this guy looks like a taker.





Oh man!! This is the guy that emailed me and said he loves tahoe. He called me after this last text. I answer. He talks like a surfer bro and is a dj. We spoke for 4 minutes and 20 seconds, that's ironic, because he sounded stoned. This is how the convo went. Him: like and I like and I and like and like and I.
Me: oh. Ok. Uh huh. Fun. Oh ok.
I started to count how many times he said I...127! In 4 minutes!!! Lost count of the use like because he used it after EVERY word he said. He spoke about how he dj'd last night at on broadway last night with Usher cuz he's a dj that's what he does. (he already told me this 30 seconds prior to him telling me again) And today he had to call in sick cuz he was out so late so instead of going to work, which he is like so sick he can't go to work, he is hittin up the gym and then he is gonna go like surfing and his boss was like ah bro you were like partying it up huh? You aint sick. Ya like take the day off. Wah wah wah...
I told him I would call him later because I was at work and had to get back to work. He had no idea, he said, that I'd be at work. That's right buddy- you only thought about yourself.

My first date is gonna be good

Going out on my first date (well this year) on Saturday. This is a text he wrote me tonight. He actually called me last night. Shocker. We talked for roughly 30 minutes. One of the funniest guys I have ever talked to. We had plans to go out Wednesday night but my Saturday opened up and we are going out Saturday.



- Posted by Jen and her crazy online dating adventures from her iPhone

Thanks for pointing that out.

I wasn't laughing. And somehow I missed that. Remember guy- you "winked" at me. Doesn't mean I was gonna read your book of a profile you wrote. I was simply thanking you for the wink and trying to start a conversation. But, you just killed it.


- Posted by Jen and her crazy online dating adventures from her iPhone

I know what this guy is looking for...

Isn't he special?



He seems really sweet. Look at how he really supports her leg.


I can't tell if he was more interested in getting a picture of himself or of himself giving a piece sign. Oh geeze. I didn't even see the chic.




He asked for two YOUNG asian girls. Not these two.



Fist pump on the toilet. Come on turd! Yeah get it turd!!




Well. At least we knows he wipes with his right hand.




Run blonde chic! Run!

I'm looking for an American to marry so I don't get deported

I have done online dating on and off for many years. Every time I re sign up, it NEVER fails. Nesh always emails me. And it is the SAME copy and paste email every single time. It reminds me of that stuff I've seen on dateline, where they feed you lines of bs and then drain your bank account.



- Posted by Jen and her crazy online dating adventures from her iPhone

We play with stuffed animals, dolls etc.

So- got this email today from Joe#2. He clearly loves his daughter. And I think that's awesome. But does he seriously think he will get points by saying he plays dolls and stuff with her? MyDad never did that. My mom yes, but my Dad would play catch with my brother and me. I'm not really sure what to make of this. Comments please!

My Online Dating Profile

I was asked by a dear friend to post my profile. Here it is. I welcome good and bad comments. The bad comments will be deleted however. Just kidding. I'll probably cry about it later.

Tahoe as in chevy or tahoe as in lake?

Just got this email. My user name is DubTahoe. Apparently this very attractive guy I'm seriously going to consider dating thinks it means lake tahoe instead of dub as in wheels and tahoe as in chevy. My previous vehicle. Date him? Or pass?




- Posted by Jen and her crazy online dating adventures from her iPhone

Excuse me sir, you must be this tall to ride the ride.

This guy is a piece of work. It sounds like he got burned by some chick and he is still bitter. I mean he used caps on the whole making an effort thing. What are you're thoughts on this guy? Good profile? Or bad profile? Would you date him based on this information? And remember don't ever offer him a coke or any candy other than skittles. Make an effort.

Pretty sure not a pb db is a db

If you have to tell the world you aren't. You are.

Men who do not spell check are so attractive.

So- he is on a dating website to meet someone he can take to Mexico, because his "family" is there? And if you notice his occupation, income and languages all say "I'll tell you later". And what kind of a woman he is looking for is all no preference. He has no preferences listed below for height, weight, age etc. He is totally looking for a woman to take to Mexico to meet his "family". Any woman, against their will.

Coffee House First Date Testing

So, I thought for my first blog I would let you know where I have been in my dating experiences and why I choose and have chosen to do online dating. It started when I was in college, a few of the guys I dated in college (whom I met at college) were, let's put it nicely, morons. And then other men I would meet at bars, clubs or Hooleys were, morons as well, with a smidgeon of assholelicity.
SO, I figure online dating can't be much worse than the wonderful array of men I have met without the help of the world wide web.
Wow- was I wrong.
I have probably been on roughly 200 first dates since I was 18. Because of my experience in first dates, I created a way to find out real quick if a guy is a nice guy I want to date.
I don't do this trick on men I meet in "real life"- but only online dating guys.
It is basically my way of seeing if they are selfish or not.
So, please, don't judge me- just read and go with it.

First Date Test
Location: Coffee House
Time: 6pm
Reason: Enjoy a cup of joe, while getting to know Joe (or whatever his name is)

Time I show up: 6:05pm

I show up 5 minutes late to see what he does.
I learned that he will do one of 4 things:

1. Wait for me in his car until I show up
2. Wait for me at the front door, then as I walk up he opens the door for me, we go in and he buys me a latte (this is after all a date, and I believe men should pay in the first dating stages)
3. Go inside and find a table and wait. When I arrive he doesn't hold the door for me. He stands up and we go to the counter to order. It's awkward. I don't order unless he asks what would you like?
4. He goes inside. Gets himself a drink. And then sits at an empty table. I walk in. And sit down. Don't get a drink until he asks aren't you gonna get something?

SO- in all I have done this on roughly 180 guys. Most choose either 2 or 3.

Here are some examples of the outliers.

FIRST, let me explain to you the reason why I first started this.

It was in 2003. I had a date with a guy at 6pm at the local coffee house. I was running like 2 minutes late. He calls me at 5:59pm and asks sort of meanly "Where are you?! I am here waiting!" I says to him "Oh sorry...I am waiting at the light to turn into the parking lot. See you a minute."
He seemed really irritated that he had to wait that long. Because you know, I was wasting his time or something?
SO. I turn. Park my car. Walk up to the Coffee place. I don't see him. I go into the coffee place. And there is Mr. I can't Wait 2 Minutes For You To Park Your Car sipping on his grande whatever the hell it was and sitting at a table. I walk up to him say sorry I was a little late. He says no problem. I sit down.
We chat for a second about our days as he sips on his chocolate grande drink because he hates coffee. THEN he proceeds to say "Aren't you going to get something?"
I say "oh yeah." Get up. And go buy myself a drink.
30 minutes of the most selfish date I have ever had with a guy later I leave and never see him again.
He even had the nerve to call me afterwards.
During our whole date, I think I maybe said 5 sentences about myself. It was ALL about him.

I didn't want to date, or end up marrying a guy like him. I think relationships are 50/50. Not 60/40 or 80/20 or whatever. Split even.

He gave me this idea.
Within a few minutes of seeing how a guy reacts to me being late can tell a WHOLE lot about a guy in such a short amount of time, and answers one question for me:

Is he just all about himself and thus not the guy I want to see for a 2nd or 3rd date?

Since then, I have gone on roughly 179 more of my coffee house first date tests.

The best one was where the guy waited in his car. I showed up 5 minutes late. He sees me pull in. Gets out of his car- meets me at the door and opens it for me, instead of opening it for himself first. We walk to the counter (side by side talking) and he asks me first what would I like. I tell him. And he orders it for me along with his drink. We get our drinks. Sit down. And talk for a few hours. I blew it with this guy because I had no idea how to date men before. I used to get what you would call clingy, over enthusiastic, head over heels within 6 weeks yada yada.
And since reading a few books about how to effectively date and what not, I now know that I have to choose to be different. Otherwise- I will end up an old lonely car lady. Yes car lady. I hate cats- and if I was to all alone I would probably just have a lot of cars. Not cats.

So, the last time I did the coffee house first date test on a guy this is what happened:
I show up 3 minutes late...I know I know..."What happened to 5?" Well I got sick of waiting around the corner! So just kidding. That's weird.
So I show up late. He is sitting there drinking a drink with his motorcycle helmet. I sit down. He proceeds to talk and talk and talk for about 45 minutes straight. Sipping his Venti whatever the F he ordered. While I sat there. With no drink. We got up to leave and he says Oh wow- you didn't even get a coffee. That Sucks"
Really?

So this is what you can expect from me and my wonderful online dating adventures. Hope you enjoy and remember- if you have anything to say please do so. I am just trying to find the guy I am supposed to end up. Because- if you aren't looking for anyone you won't find them.
