Club First Date....Where they do that at?

So I meet a lil cutie at the club...well that was the first mistake. He was 6ft and better, cold black like I like em with a body like I like em. So we have minimal conversation for about a week and not to my surprise we had nothing in common or any chemistry. Then he was like we should go out on a date. I have never been one to turn down free. So he rescheduled one time...red flag #2, he proceeds to ask me to go out with him at 11pm on U St. I was like what....I don't do club first dates homey. How are we suppose to talk or get to know each other if I can't even here you over the music? Oh I know because that was not your intention...I am not street puntang...lol! I have never been asked that in all my years of dating...I'm too old for that I like to do other things.

I haven't talked to him since was I wrong? Would you go on a club first date...why or why not?

Hey Can I TEXT You....(Texting vs. Calling)

I have noticed that when meeting guys nowadays when they ask for your phone number it is not to have an actual phone conversation but to TEXT you. One of the perks of texting a person you have just met are.....hmmm I will wait....that everything will be misinterpreted or you can put in a minimal amount of effort. I met this bouncer at a club over the weekend mind you I don't remember when the numbers where exchanged * see birthday boo post* and he text me the other day his life story.

Bouncer: Hey how are you?

Me: Fine and U?

Bouncer: Well whats your stats?

Me: Huh?

Bouncer: I'm 26, Divorced, One Son, play basketball, work all day and work the part time at the club, I like to work out

Me: Thanks for your life story but what happened to saying your doing fine

Bouncer: I hope you are not worried about my ex and the fact that I am divorced because we get a long well and have no problems so there is nothing to be worried about

I proceeded to no response mode. Now let's analyze this. He could have just been trying to be straight up with me from the beginning or was nervous about having that convo. Texting can make people BOLD because they can avoid having to think on their feet or that immediate reaction. Which is not the type of person for me. I don't know maybe I am a little old school but this is not a text conversation and a bit much. On top of that he clearly was not following the conversation.

This is a bit of an extreme case but in my conversations with people the word is out that many guys are opting to text rather than call especially with such things as

-I'm going to be late or I'm not coming home tonight

-Hey, how are you - that way they don't have to hear us ramble because we are not going to text everything that happened that day

and so on and so on.......How do you feel about texting vs. calling?

Country Boys Can't Dress

Yall know I love a country boy and I still do but one thing I've learned about them on my trip to Charlotte, NC is that they can't dress. The style was stuck in the 1990s. I'm talking sagging baggy jeans, long white tees...lol. Well clothes don't make the man but they also say you can't change people. So I would still date a guy if he had all the right qualities but not quite as stylish as I would like....Would You?

Calling All Birthday Boos on November 28th Buy Gifts!

Is it shallow to try to have a boyfriend or at least several strong candidates so that you can maximize the number of presents you will receive for your birthday? Normally I am on the self righteous tip when it comes to this type of stuff but during my birthday month all bets are off. Its all part of a system I've had since my college days. Summer time I usually play the field get a lay of the land which has been slightly more difficult here in the nations capital but then try to lock in at least one to two strong contenders by mid October so I can make my birthday push for presents. Also during Operation Birthday Presents I tend entertain calls from boos past as well as scooping out boos present and future. Those of you that know me know that I run a full campaign in regards to my birthday and always end up with tons of parties and presents.....(on that note any of you reading this please feel free to shoot me an email if you need an address or who to write a check out to for my fabulous b-day on Nov. 28th). I will admit this is very tricky ground to tread you have to be skillful at this especially if you want the present but not the boo. This goes double when dealing with an ex or dude from boos past. Well coming from a birthday pro who specializes in getting gifts the most important rule dubbed Rule Numero Uno is to not feel guilty if they want to buy you something and do not feel like you owe them something just because they do. Anyone who is my friend is required by terms of our friendship to acknowledge my bday and to give me a gift of some sort so it comes with the territory with me. By setting these expectations early you avoid all that and come of with more gifts which is the name of the game. Be aware some will try to use it as means to get back in and that is totally up to you. I say try your luck buddy but thank you for that box from Tiffany's because if I'm not dating you now it's probably for good reason. I will say all of that to say this November I am shallow and will not apologize for it the other 11 months I am not so there.....buy me gifts on NOVEMBER 28th!

Will you take gifts from a person who you know is feeling you but you are not interested?

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?
