The Frenchie

So.... exciting news :: update on last night's date = it was amazing! Maybe the bouncer has FINALLY let me into the ‘normal’ pool of guys (long story that I’ll explain this weekend! Lol). The date was so good in fact, that I woke up at 4am and couldn’t get back to sleep for hours because I was really excited.

And yes, maybe I am jumping the gun here, but I think a little bit of happiness is good for the soul ;) Even if it doesn’t work out in the end. Right girls?! 

So, let me tell you everything! First of all, I had a crisis at 5pm, when the restaurant/bar I had made reservations with 2 days prior, called me to CANCEL my reservation! Or actually, to tell me that they simply don’t make bar reservations on nights when there are hockey games!! There had been a mistake made when I had called on Tuesday. I was beyond furious! How dare they call me 2 hours before game time! Making reservations anywhere else in the city would have been impossible at that time!

So, I text my date and explain the situation. Totally in distress. And surprisingly, he said: ‘No problem, i’ll go to the bar an hour early to get us seats’ !!! Wow, I was super impressed! The date hadn't even begun and he was in my good books!

So, 2 hrs later, I get to the bar, and he’s even more good looking in person than in his pictures on the internet. BTW we met over Zoosk — he is the last one I've decided to talk to, because so many of the Zoosk guys are after one thing... and I am getting annoyed! All the things I had sensed about him from our emails were accurate: he’s laidback, funny, chill, speaks English amazingly well considering he’s French, and he was honest about his profile. Plus in person, our conversation flowed so easily, that I can hardly remember what we talked about for 4 hours. And even though the big hockey game was on the big screen, I hardly watched. Which is pretty shocking for me! He was just really interesting to talk to.

I even told him about my blog, and surprisingly he thought it was great! He wanted to know what I was going to write about him, which of course I didn’t tell..... and he’s probably dying to know today! Hahaha At least, for him, he was the one who decided on his nickname : The Frenchie. Which I think it really appropriate, because while leaving the bar he kissed me ♥♥♥ and man he is a gooood kisser! Not like Mr. Teeth Kisser from a few weeks ago! Ewweeie lol
 
So, on my drive home, I was already being a typical girl and hoping he was going to call me in the next few days to make plans. But, I didn't have to think about it long, because he texted me last night to say he had a great time and hopes to see me again soon! YAY!
I'm not sure what the plan is for date #2, but I’m really looking fwd!! Stay tuned and have a great day chicas! xo AND GO HABS GO!!!!!

Date Alert!

Ok, so get ready for it again! I have a date with a random on Thursday this week. Don't worry friends, nowhere sketchy i promise. We're meeting at a well known resto/bar that will have the Habs game playing. I made reservations in the bar (aren't i a great date?! lol).

GOOD thing= there will be something entertaining to watch if the conversation doesn't flow... BAD thing = i'm pretty much stuck there until the end of the game (±3hrs) if the conversation SUCKS!

Oh well, i guess i'll see... So, do you want to stats of this one? Well, for one, he's not extroverted like The Naked Guy (which is  a good thing). I met him on Zoosk... He says he's rarely goes on dates (good thing i think!). He is 34! Big change for me, since the guys i seem to meet are always closer to the 24 range!!  He seems really down to earth, enjoys playing sports, we like to do same kind of activities (walking, learning to cook, etc) + he goes to crazy parties just like moi ;) So, he could be a match, but let's not get ahead of ourselves! We will know alot more Thursday evening. I'll tweet u on how good or bad things are going ;) hehe follow my tweets here

wish me luck chicas -- any advice for this one? ;)

The Guy Who Had Anxiety...

So, I think you girls are ready to hear another one of my more disastrous dates I've ever had. This one is about a guy i met whilst still on the dating site i was subscribed to early last year.

Him and I had met online, and emailed/chatted for about 6 wks prior to him asking me to go have coffee. I guess i should have been suspicious that it took him so long to as me out... And for our big first date, he chose a really noisy resto/bar in Laval, but i didn't mind — i knew they had great martinis! (Café Univers)

So, that night, i got all dolled up, put on a super cute outfit, makeup was perfect, and was actually really excited. After all, this was someone who i had a really good connection with over email and msn...

...and you get those pre-date jitters, and think “maybe this one could really work out...”

Then... just as i was about to leave my apt (all cute, in my killer heels, and roomies approvals), i get this random text msg from my date. Saying he just can't do it, that he couldn't meet me for our date...

UM, what?...

At first, i was confused, but as we texted back and forth he told me that he had an anxiety problem and rarely left his house. He ALSO explained that he had planned the date at a noisy resto/bar because his anxiety causes an embarrassing condition :: UNCONTROLLABLE FARTING!!!

OMG! I was beginning to thank my lucky stars that i hadn't left the house!

So, as a compromise, he wanted to have a “phone date” instead... but... he needed 20 minutes to prepare himself... um...weird!

From ROXY

So, he called 20 minutes later. I had already changed in my pyjamas and was removing makeup!! lol And so, we talked.... well, actually... HE talked... and THANK GOD i hadn't gone to meet this guy! He was so NOT for me. So NOT the person he described himself to be for 6 weeks! We had complete opposite interests, he was a total hermit with extreme anti-social skills... plus as he went on to explain: he was someone who had got arrested for failing to pull his car over while driving drunk and running 6 stop signs while being chased by the cops...

UM...NO.

And that was that. We never talked, texted, or had any more phone dates again! And i started to keep notes when a guy didn't ask me out after 4wks of emails/chatting!!
