I’ll be the first to admit that I’m bad with directions, but this third date tonight was over the top.  I picked her up at 8:00 for dinner at a small French restaurant several miles from her house.  I don’t live anywhere near her house and there is my natural inability to determine north from south.  We talked as I made lefts and rights hoping to find this place.  I think she started to get a little worried by my second u-turn, but I continued to chat hoping to take her mind off the ride.  Just when I thought I was on track again, I missed a right turn.  I made an illegal u-turn and stepped on the gas.  As I came to what was now a left turn, my date yelled out “make a left!”, “make a left!”  She scared the hell out of me and almost caused an accident. Luckily there weren’t any cars behind me because I had to stop short.

Needless to say, I drove in silence the rest of the way and didn’t talk much during dinner. I was too scared if she was going to yell again.

 No, no, not two weeks notice at work but I wish it was that way when it comes to dating. People never give the courtesy call to let the other person know that they are not interested in pursuing anything further. When I first moved to Los Angeles, I met many men at bars on the weekends. It was so weird, I would meet someone on Friday and Saturday and it was always an interview with each guy I would meet. This is how it went:

The guy would approach me, ask my name, where I’m from and what do I do for a living. I would answer and ask the same questions in return. We continued to chat further and have a cocktail or two and exchange phone numbers. The following week he would call, we go out have a good time and he calls again a few days later for a 2^nd date and two weeks go by and I never hear from him again.

This continued for months. I would meet someone new every other weekend if not every weekend. It was like the guys knew that I am new to town. Was it written on my forehead? In any case, I had several two week “relationships” that never went any further then 2 maybe, maybe 3 dinners. Maybe you’re wondering it was because I didn’t give up, oh contraire my friends. That’s what I used to think, but nope. It’s because this city is filled with beautiful women and there are too many to choose from and no one sees what is in front of them because they are too busy thinking that Mrs. Right is still out there. Oh AND 78% of this city is in the ET industry and if you cannot help them succeed what else are you good for?

Last weekend, I drove 45 minutes to meet a girl my friend set me up with. I had never met her before, but after seeing her pictures, I thought it was worth the drive. To say the least, when I picked her up, I would have driven 2 hours if I had to. On the way to dinner, we had good conversation and she laughed at my jokes a few times, which is always a good sign. During dinner we continued having a smooth conversation and I felt a connection with her. As I looked down at my pasta to take another bite, I felt something pull at my hair. I dropped my fork to touch my head from the pain and looked up at my date to see what that was. As she showed me my hair that was in her hand, she smiled and said “I found a gray one so I grabbed it for ya’.” 

Weeding out the sum of my few grey hairs on a first date? During dinner? Is she serious? I didn’t go out with her again; I was afraid of what else she might pull to cause me pain.

I received an email from a guy that just moved to LA and his profile said he’s looking to make new friends with the possibility of finding the right girl. He say’s he’s ready to share his life with someone special. I then opened he’s email anxious to connect with him and he’s email reads, 

“Hi there, my name is ____. I’m  new in town, would like to get to know you better. Have you ever thought of mud wrestling with other pretty woman like you?

I watch a lot of movies and have dreamed of making it a reality. Look forward to hearing from you.

Is he serious? I was as speechless as you are probably. So to all the boys… keep it simple at least for the 1^st email. I do.

 I went on a date last week & it didn’t go so well. I didn’t feel any chemistry and the guy lied about his age. At the end of the date I told him that I didn’t think this was going to work. However, he had a different opinion apparently, because he called me and left me a voice mail the next day thanking me for meeting him for a drink and asking me to give him another chance to go out with him. He said he wasn’t feeling very well and that he is sure we will have a much better time next time. I did not call him back; I already told him that I didn’t feel there was any chemistry. Was I not clear?

Then yesterday morning I received a card from an unknown sender. When I opened the card I found a piece of paper that was scotch taped on the blank side. It was also from the same guy. Why doesn’t he get it? The card wasn’t even HANDWRITTEN, he typed up the message on the computer (or typewrite who knows now) and taped it to the card. The card read,” I felt a real connection with you, like no other. I had an awesome time with you and I’m sorry if I was a jerk but I will put in all the effort to make it up to you.”

Is he serious? What effort???? He didn’t even WRITE the card. Who does that? Believe it or not I took a red pen and wrote http://www.isheserious.com/ put it in the envelope and sent it back to him.
