Story Time ... again

Alright, who's ready for another dating story? Well, this guy and I didn't even get to the "dating" stage of things. But, here's what happened ...

I met him in mid December of last year on an online site where we exchanged messages for a little while. My first impressions of this one were that he was responsible, knew exactly what he wanted and pretty good looking. Also, he was my age. Bonus! 

So, we talk and eventually start texting and even chatting on the phone. That's rare for me as I am not a "phone" person. At first, I thought his voice didn't match his face ... it was deep with a sort of country twang. It was fine and we'd have some entertaining conversations. This dude, I find out is a harley guy and a few weeks before we met, he'd been in an accident which left him holed-up at home. It would be weeks before he healed and was able to do anything outside the house, so we kept texting and talking a bit longer. 

Before I go any further, let me be clear that HE contacted me first and HE kept saying how he couldn't wait 6 to 8 weeks to meet. So, one day, I was shopping at Safeway with B and M and every once in a while, I'd get a text from harley guy. It eventually led up to our first meet. He invited me up to his place that evening to hang out and watch movies. I was hesitant because he said before how he was a little self-conscious about his current state after his accident. But, he insisted that he was fine and really wanted to meet.

I go up to his place, a little shy at first but we start talking and then put on a movie, "Friends with Benefits" ... Right? What was I thinking?? Anyway, we're lying there on his pull-out sofa, under the covers since it was cold up at his place without much talk during the movie. It started to feel a little awkward toward the end, so after chatting a little, giving a cuddle a try and then using his upstairs bathroom one more time, I decided to go and let him rest. 


Wasn't quite sure if he thought it was a little weird, but I got my answer the next day. I asked him if he felt a little awkward about the evening. He said "yeah, a little." And, while I agreed with him, I was still a bit bummed because before the awkwardness set in, I was starting to like him.


Needless to say, we didn't talk much after that. His text messaging stopped and he unfriended me on Facebook which I thought was rude because I didn't do anything wrong. 

SO, that was the end of that! As always, readers, feel free to spill any of your awkward dating/relationship stories. While this one was very short-lived, it was still one more for the blogs and one more lesson learned. 

Until the next post ... xoxo
