Mr. Flee

Ok so this is a bit outdated but I'm blogging about the fantastic 3 days had with Mr. Flee to appease the masses.

His real name is Dave but he's a runner (relationship runner, -it takes one to know one) so we will call him Mr. Flee. So, before I get into the details of the date(s), let's get into some background info. He did tell me upfront and it states in his online profile that he is looking to date but doesn't want anything serious. I figured I would go with it because you never know where it might lead. He doesn't have kids, he is separated (been that way for 2 years but just broke up a year relationship about a month prior to me meeting him) so he's not trying to rush into anything.  He is a welder for his family's company.  He lives in Glen Burnie with a roommate who turned into his brother's girlfriend (she was his roommate first, then met his brother and BAM!) OK... moving on.....

I began talking to Dave where I begin 99% of my potentials-online. As a first meet up, we met at Glory Days. We sat at the bar where I had to pole vault to get in the stool. Note: They are a bit taller than the average stool! Another note: add stool to the list of words I do not like. So we each had a beer and chatted. I got talking about the fact that I had to change an outlet and got shocked while doing so. He mentioned (and the cute older couple next to me mentioned) that something might be wrong if I turned off the main switch but still got shocked. He volunteered to come by my place the next day to check it with a meter.  I told him I would take him up on the offer considering I didn't want my house to suddenly combust and didn't want to spend unnecessary money on an electrician if I didn't have to. We chatted a bit more, he paid and then we hugged goodbye.

The next day, he came over, checked my outlet switching skills (which I did fantastically and all is good), then we went to The Hideaway for me to introduce him to the best BBQ joint in the area. I then told him that I needed to go to Walmart to get a blow up mattress so I could start sleeping at the house and he said he would join me. We took a trip to Walmart where he proceeded to carry everything. That was fun! I just pointed at the stuff I wanted and watched him juggle it! :) That never happens! We took all the crap to my house and he set up the bed for me! We then chatted a bit more and he left to go home. The next day was July 4th so I told him that if he didn't have any plans to let me know because most likely I would be just sitting alone at home.

July 4th, he asked if I wanted to join him at his cousin's house for fireworks and Fourth shenanigans.  I accepted. I went to his cousin's house where I shot a bow and arrow for the first time. I bruised my arm pretty badly in the process but it was delightfully fun. They set a crap ton of fireworks off and it was a fun day/night had by all. I dropped him off at his house and proceeded to my own. The next day, I had plans to go to Atlantic City with a friend so there was no talk about when we would meet up or go out again. He had texted me when I got home that he had a fun night and enjoyed my company and was looking forward to spending more time with me.

While I was away in AC, he didn't text me as often as he had been. I asked him why and he said he didn't want to interrupt my time in AC. I smelled BS but went with it. I texted him goodnight Sunday and he replied. I then texted him Monday morning and wished him a good day and he replied with the same. After that, I left the ball in his court and didn't hear from him until I texted him while drinking iced teas of the Long Island variety that Friday night....

My text on Friday night was "have fun and be safe [at the Dierks Bentley concert].  He replied with "I thought you quit".  This got us chatting about why he thought that and blah blah blah.... well we chatted a bit Friday, and then more on Saturday. I invited him to a bar to see a dueling pianos show but he said he didn't want to be in the car long because he was just in the car coming back from the concert and he gets car sick so he wasn't feeling 100%.  I took that as a declined invitation, so I asked my mom and she accepted. He then acted like I turned around and disinvited him. I had to explain that his communication skills are a bit lacking and it was interpreted as a declined rsvp. He understood.  I mentioned that we could get together Sunday but he already had plans to visit his parents for the day.  So, I just left it up to we will get together sometime later during the week.

On Sunday, out of the blue, I got a text that said he is sorry but he can't date me. He also said it wasn't me, it was him. My response was, I know it's not me because I'm awesome and you're missing out! That's how it was left. I deleted his contact info. and past messages and am still on the prowl! :)
