Looking forward....

Ok, so guy #2 and I had a conversation this morning that lasted a while (it's going on an hour and half now). I texted him this morning and told him that if he was no longer interested to please let me know and not just vanish like so many people do. He texted me back and said he had been sleeping since 5 yesterday evening to 8:30 this morning! WOW! I couldn't sleep that long, ever. He decided to call me instead of texting back and forth and we just talked about whatever and what the possibilities of "us" are. He told me that I seemed a bit distant yesterday and he was hoping for a kiss at the end of the date but I seemed to get out of there in a hurry so he wasn't sure that I was interested. I told him, first you need to work for a kiss and those aren't just passed out on the second "date".  Second, I had been out the night before and wasn't 100% feeling well so I wasn't as outgoing as I normally am.

After talking for a bit about where we both stand, what we came up with is that it's not going to be turning into a long term thing, ever.  He is not moving from So. Md. and I told him there is no way I would ever move to So. Md. Another hinderance is the fact that he lives 1.5 hours away and is only able to date every other week. Plus he owns a bird.... why anyone owns a bird and allows the bird to fly around freely is beyond me! This is just one more thing that solidifies that nothing serious will manifest because my animals would eat his bird! He clearly underestimates my animals because he said " I don't know about your dog and cat going after my bird. My bird would sit on top of the refrigerator just looking at them." Um yeah...NO! The bird would be dead by one or both of my crazy "kids".  We both came to the consensus that "we" are not ever going to be anything serious due to all the above mentioned things. He said he'd still be willing to hang out and do things as would I. I want to go shooting and he said he would still be willing to take me one day.  At least he's someone to hang out with and do things with. We are just different and I'm more into watching sports and traveling and he's more of a "bird guy" and into visiting antique places and museums. I can spend some time in a museum but I'm certainly not caring about all the history behind every little thing. Give me a good scavenger hunt and I'm in!

So, moving onward and keeping the look out for guy # 3.

Guy #2, Date # 2

So... today was date number 2! I'm retarded and went out last night to the bar and had a couple too many Long Islands. I woke up with a twinge of a headache and a not so great belly but I figured it would get better when I got moving. It did get better but not until about 3:00.

I met him at the Walmart in Prince Frederick at about 10 (I was half hour late! PF is FAR!). I was kind of expecting a gift!  We then proceeded to go to the Calvert Maritime Museum. Today was their reopening day and it was free plus there were tons of different activities and things going on there. The otters were my highlight! He's also a walking encyclopedia. He knows EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING! Sometimes I just want to look at a picture of an old dude and not hear the history or the thingamajig he's holding! I'm cool with calling it a thingamajig! I'm also cool with silence. There doesn't have to be conversation every minute. I know some people get nervous when it's quiet but I don't mind it (I know this might be surprising coming from me!).  However, he's definitely a good sport. When I noticed a cut out, pirate, photo-op I said "Oooo.... go get behind there and let me take a pic." He said "ok." I like when people say OK after I tell them to do something! Some might call that "bossy".... I prefer "decisive"! :) Around 12:30 we decided to go to Solomon's Island to grab lunch. We both wanted crabs but they didn't have any in yet so I settled for Cream of Lacking in Crab Soup and Salad.  HE PAID! :) WOOP! WOOP! We then walked around the town and went into the Oyster Museum- it's better than it sounds! We then drove around the Island just to look at the scenery and hate on the people that live lavish lives.  He then said he didn't know what else we could do but rattled off about 3 ideas. I was up for whatever. I was getting sleepy though so I told him I needed to probably leave the area around 4 or so to get back to Molly, which was true. My girl needed her dinner! He said something about me not sticking around for dinner. Apparently, when he said we would make a day of it, he meant the WHOLE day.  I told him that I would gladly stay but my dog needs food and to go potty.  Really, I was looking forward to seeing the inside of my eyelids in my bed! Not that I was having a terrible time, because I wasn't! I was just tired.

So he took me to his Aunt and Uncle's beach house at Cove Point. He said "I'm sure you're not anticipating meeting my family on the second date and this might be a bit awkward, but I feel like I have to say hi to them if I stop at their house to park my car." I didn't have a problem with it especially after meeting his Aunt and Uncle. She's awesome. She told him she would have "beat the shit out of him" if he had parked and not stopped to say hi. I knew right then that I liked her! :) We walked down to the beach where we looked for about an hour and half for shark's teeth. He found 7 and I found bupkis!  I did find 1 piece of sea glass and several pretty shells so I will take it. I found some teeth but they weren't sharks teeth or at least I don't think they are... they are gray and less triangular. Whatever, it was fun regardless. After that, he brought me back to my car and I travelled home. It was an enjoyable day and definitely the longest date I've ever been on. I'd like to see a third date happen but we shall see.... I put it out there and I haven't gotten a response. We shall see!  New learned fact of the day: His ex and I share the same first name! She must be the evil Melissa because I'm clearly the awesome one!

Pirate Jon!
