Now in my intro post, I told you guys that A. I was a serial dater and B. I was trying to remember this from a year ago right? So with that being said, I'm pretty sure some of these dates are out of order but I don't think that matters much. I'm still not ready to update you guys on WB, so I'll tell you about Mandrill...
Now I think that's how you spell his name. He was yet another guy that I met via the dating site. He seemed okay, he looked like a pretty boy which I don't really like. When I think pretty boy, most of the time I think gay. If he's pretty, he's got to have some kind of edge to him...like this guy that will come in a later post.... Ooooweeee....thinking of him makes me want to scroll through my phone contacts. But I'm not.
Back to Mandrill...he seemed like a cool conversationalist, and I of course decided to give him my number. Now I don't exactly remember what happened, but I do know that we spoke on the phone and he was describing to me the disastrous encounters he had with online dating. Says that not one of the women he met actually looked like the photos they had posted. I assured him that I was who I said I was...I believe we agreed to meet and he ended up canceling. Now that was strike 1 for Mr. Drill. He apologized a couple of times before I would agree to try it again. He asked to meet up at Pappadeaux. Now I absolutely love Pappadeaux so I was extremely happy with his choice. I pull up at the restaurant, my nerves weren't as active as with Jay or WB. Probably because of his cancellation. He comes and meets me at the door. First impressions were that he did not look like his pictures. He looked smaller, however he was a bit more attractive in person than his pictures showed. He was still kinda on the short side though. He was might height with maybe 3 in heels on. We were seated and he was very entertaining. He made me laugh, he was gentleman, and he was attentive. He was definitely making up for the first impressions. We stayed in the restaurant for hours, we had drinks, we ate, and just had good conversation. Now I'm very observant and though I may not call people on things when I first notice them, I will file them away for future reference. He ordered an appetizer, for his meal. Now if I know anything about men is that they eat. Now granted he wasn't a big dude by any means, but a damn appetizer for a meal? Yellow flag for me. Not really a red flag yet because he didn't look panicky when I ordered my meal or my drink. We wrapped up our meal, and actually sat in the car in the parking lot and talked some more. I let him listen to my favorite song of the moment, which I can't remember lol. But I know I used to jam to it! I'm sure I'll remember after this post is complete and I'll update you guys with it.
We ended up going to waffle house and getting some coffee. And I think I ordered a waffle. I did tell you guys I like to eat right? Now in waffle house, he decided that we should take pictures together. He already had his "picture face" down. I know we took like 30 pictures because he was just as picky as me. He also had like 500 pictures in his phone of himself that he showed me. Arrogant much?
After waffle house, I decided it was time to head home. Now here comes the weird part. He says I think that you should come stay with me for a week. Now let me reiterate that this was the FIRST date. We only talked on the phone a couple of times, and you asking me to come stay a week with you, at your house, alone? For real?? And he was dead serious. He told me that he was tired of dating and he didn't want to do it. He says that people never really get to know each other until the spend an extended amount of time together. Which I agree with to an extent, however...you just don't ask random people to pack a bag and come stay at your house. Like WTH! First crazy experience number 1! Needless to say there was NoPunanie4U.
Until next time folks!

He's kinda cute...
Ahh how I've missed my chronological attempt to tell you guys about my life...Your girl has had multiple things going on...that she cares not to discuss at this moment.
Now I left off with WB, but my dating was not restricted to just him. I was messaged by a guy named Jay...he seemed cool and was decent looking. He had a job...said he was over 6 ft and appeared normal. So I figured he was a good candidate to get to know better. I provided him my digits and he called me. We had a "as expected" conversation about the usual. You know the "Are you from here, How many kids do you have" stuff. He asked me out to dinner and I agreed. I let him choose the place and he chose Applebee's. Now I guess Applebee's is cool...and it's a bit bougie (you know stuck up) to say that I expected more...but I did. I can however understand the choice in Applebee's. This is a chick that you met online, you have no idea how she's going to look..so it's a safe choice. At the absolute least you can sit at the bar, have a drink and head home.
So I get to Applebee's and I'm nervous. I don't know what dude is going to look like, what our chemistry will be like, if he'll even be attracted to me or vice versa. I'm sweating, giving my self a pep talk, and enlisting my friends help for encouragement. I pull up to the place, call him and he says that he's standing by the door waiting for me. My heart was beating so loud that I was sure that anyone within 10 ft of me could hear it too. I walk towards the door and see a tall guy...brown skin, with a pretty white smile. Alright now...this might not be too bad after all are my thoughts. I finally reach him and he gives me a hug with a very pretty smile. Now I inside I was letting out a huge sigh of relief. The next step was conversation. We were seated and started talking. Now ya'll I honestly can't really tell you what we talked about other than where we were both from, the fact that he played ball in college (which was a huge plust), and that he had a daughter whose life he was actively involved in. Everything was real cool, real laidback, and I felt extremely comfortable with him. We ate, I believe I had a drink, but don't quote me on that, and had decent convo. And dude was quite attractive to me. I truly have a weakness for tall men who play/played basketball.
So we ended the night, he was headed out with some friends and I believe I was headed home to chill out. We hugged and parted ways and maybe 20 mins later he was texting me. Good sign! He was thinking about me, and I had just left his presence. Regardless though...there was NoPunanie4U.
The next day I think ya'll lol, I went to his 2nd job, as a barber, to go out to lunch. Of course he had me come into the shop, because he wasn't quite finished cutting a customers hair and I believe to show me off a bit. Dudes are funny that way. I was in there for like 20 mins...which he did receive a slight negative mark for. I don't like having to wait on folks. We headed out to lunch and as soon as I got in his vehicle he received another mark. He smoked. And it didn't smell like regular cigarette smoke. My response as soon as I got in was, "Oh, so you smoke?" He was like yea, I'm trying to stop though. Usually when people tell you that, they really aren't trying to stop, but they figure it sounds good. We get to our lunch destination, order and again precede to have pretty decent convo. We laughed, joked, and just had a good lunch. The chemistry was at a good level. Things were looking pretty good with Ol' Jay. He takes me back to my car. We hug and that was the end of my 2nd date with the tall guy. Cool date... I enjoyed his company..but it was still NoPunanie4U
He was giving WB a run for his money.
More on him later....
