Next Level....Too Soon!!

So I met this guy (we will call him Speed Dater) he seemed alright so we exchanged numbers. At this point everything was completely normal as it always is. Anyway we had literally one phone conversation where he went on and on and on about himself. You know the kind of conversation where you can't get a word in and for every one word you say that person goes on a two minute tangent. I'm pretty sure you all know what I was thinking.....FLAG ON THE PLAY! Well after that one way conversation he proceeds to text me the next day. Here is how the convo unfolds:

Speed Dater: I want to take things to the "Next Level"

Me: Clearly I don't even know you and you don't know me

Speed Dater: But we talked yesterday and I'm liking you

Me: You talked yesterday and don't you think that is a bit fast..have you seen that show "How to Catch a Predator" I don't know you.

Speed Dater: I am so OFFENDED by what you said. I can't believe you would think that. I am not like that....and on and on about how he was never on that show

Let's stop there I really didn't mean he was a pedophile well who knows but my point was that I don't know him to be talking about "next level" plus I thought it was funny. Clearly he doesn't get me sense of humor....probably because he doesn't know me. Needless to say I don't talk to him or he doesn't talk to me whatever the case maybe it doesn't bother me at all...lol.

Have you ever met someone who tried the "Next Level" rap to fast? What is the most outlandish thing you have said to get someone away from you?

There once was an OLD MAID....

So at times I have these fleeting thoughts that I will be an old maid with a house full of degrees and cats....and I don't even like cats. Don't get me wrong I am extremely confident in myself and career goals obviously because I'm kind of a big deal. However, I'm at that pivotal age (mid 20s for inquiring minds) where all of my friends are married, getting hitched, have little ones or at least shacking with their main squeeze. So when will it be my turn? All I meet are douche bags...hence the blog. Then again I really don't want to be married or have kids anytime soon. My day will come when my big country, 6ft and better, chocolate to caramel brown skin with a nice gig and passion for service, honest, caring, real comes along and probably get on my nerves. That is how I envision it. So I will close this random piece with...VIVA la SINGLE....OLD Maids R Hot...LOL!!!

Good Girls Finish Last

You have heard that old saying before but it is so true...Guys in DC who am I kidding guys across the globe always say they want a good girlfriend...the younger and sexier version of their mama with a little less nagging. Yet most men are not ready for a good girl...they would much rather have the bad girl who is full of drama but probably just scorned by men that she feels she has to behave this way with every man...that is a whole 'nother blog topic in itself. On the flip side I hear guys say all the time...women say they want a good man and then when they have one they don't know how to treat em. Well I do and I would like the option of meeting this so called "good guy"....point em out/point em out/point em out honey! I am right here...lol!

Be honest do you like Good Guys/Girls or the Bad Boy/Girl types?

"Georgia Ave" Boos

It's time for this blog to get DC specific...well I talk a lot about how I am booless in DC due to the limited options and here is another example of it. I work on a quaint little street Georgia Ave. It's one of those up and coming neighborhoods with Condos and Crackheads...Strip Clubs and Expensive Rowhouses...gentrification aside it never fails that I get hit on as I walk to work. I know what you are thinking....aren't you always talking about how their are no boos in dc...hence the blog but if you are getting hit on every day what is the problem? Well the problem is I get hit on by men over 50 posted up outside the liquor store with 3-5 teeth in their mouth. Now don't get me wrong I am not the one to put anyone down but let's just say that is not my type. I prefer guys my age, with teeth, who work, and don't smell like pee mixed with E & J. I mean you would think attention would boost one's self esteem however in fact this type of attention can send one's self esteem in the opposite direction...LOL!

There are other neighborhoods in DC notorious for this kind of homeless drunk man macking? Adams Morgan for one...Have you ever been hit on by...and I mean this with love an elderly homeless person? If so, when and where...dish the scoop.

Can we "Get Together"?

So I was chopping it up with one of the homies and we got into an insightful discussion about the phrase "can we get together?" Like most things this can have several connotations...it can mean:

Lets go hold hands in the park

Let's study at the library

Go on a nice date

*Oochie Wally Wally Oochie Bang Bang

So he was saying when he makes this type of vague statement he never really knows what the girl wants and I assume he is open for any of the options above. The flip side to this is that when guys make such vague statements why do they get mad when you ask for clarity? Like all we are suppose to say is Yes...and be all knowing when he makes a move cuz he was thinking Oochie Wally Wally...sheesh....lol. So whenever you hear a vague statement like "can we get together"....u better find out what together he is talking about because you never know! Sidenote: Chances are he doesn't know either...lol!

E-Pimpin....I mean Online Dating

It has gotten so bad that so many people nowadays are turning to the internet to find their boo. I've had a quite a few friends that have met some decent guys online...but for some reason I am not with it...but I may have to it's not like you can meet a guy on the metro, grocery store, club, library, church...you get my point. It's getting hard to meet boos in the street but I still feel like meeting them online will come with the same type of BS. Another reason I am not feeling online dating is that I am not trying to pay to meet boos...its a recession.

What do you think....online dating the wave of the future? Is it a worthy investment? Should I get with the times? Are you an E dater...what are the pros and cons?

EYE CANDY

So men can be on a constant search for the model-video chick. Spend all types of money and quality time to woo her and yet they expect us to "commoners" to be happy to deal with them when they don't look nothing like Tyson Beckford. What is that about? I mean I would be shallow if I said I want a man with a six pack and perfectly toned skin but men do it all the time. Most women will take a half way decent looking brother if his personality is on point but guys yall be frontin!!! Oh you want the regular girl until you think you have a shot wit some model chick with whom you later find out is LOCO...lol! Woman aren't suppose to be too thick heck even some of my extra skinny sisters are even having a hard time nowadays cuz they don't have that video girl booty. It's messed up well in 2009 two can play that game...I want some eye candy too..that's right if you don't look like Maxwell you need not apply....you better be able to sing like em too....lol

Naw but what do you think about this topic...Are people just really shallow nowadays? Would you date someone that you didn't necessary look like they were on a cover of a mag?
