Update: my second date with Lion Tamer went pretty well! We went to an International Festival and then we ended up a bar near my house and we talked til about 2am. He drove me home and stayed until I let my dog out and then hugged me & asked me out again. We’ll see each other at least next weekend if not before! And then tonight he texted me to tell me how much fun he had last night.
He also gave the bone I got to his dog and sent me a picture of him chewing it 🙂
He seems really sweet and that he genuinely likes me. It’s funny, I’m so used to men being emotionally unavailable and stringing me along that I don’t really know what to do with a man who really likes me and is very open about it. He said he had a great night and he loved the International Festival and how did I know he would like it so much? Awww.
When he was leaving, we talked about our next date and texting (he doesn’t get texts all the time because his phone is ooooold) and he said that when he texts me and doesn’t get a text back he gets anxious. So I said something like “You don’t need to be anxious, I’m gonna be straight with you – I think you’re cute and I like spending time with you.” and he seemed really relieved and said “I feel the same way!” So we have established that we like each other and we’re seeing each other again! Yay!
That’s awesome! Of course I’m not surprised an animal lover is also a good guy. 🙂
I’m so glad that you’ve found a guy who seems emotionally available and is Makin it clear he likes you. Yayyy!
My FWB met my best friend yesterday, and that went pretty well. But everyone proceeded to get pretty drunk and then there was some drama. And my best friend’s fiance made a joke about my sexual assault in front of everyone before we even went to the bar…kind of a dick move, but it is what is it.
The guy was a mutual friend of my best friend and her fiance. This is pretty TMI and trigger-y, but he basically went down on me when I was on my period (against my will obviously). I told my best friend what happened, she told her fiance, and he doesn’t get that oral sex could count as sexual assault. It happened 3 years ago, and now he makes a joke about how uncomfortable I am with “red wings” anytime the topic of period sex comes up. I’ve tried explaining to him that it’s really not funny, but he doesn’t get it.
Also last night the guy that stood me up on my birthday sent me a dick pic, then called me to tell me he’s still in love with me, wants to marry me, wants to fix things, etc. What the fuck is wrong with people?
Kare, I’m angry for you too. If I were your best friend and my husband was that insensitive, well, I’m not sure what I’d do, but it wouldn’t be friendly.
Yay LadyE! That is what being persued feels like and it’s great.
Ver, did you see the teacher this weekend?
MI trip was a lot of fun and went really well. He wants to “come out” at the office so to speak. Nothing formal of course, but we’re not a secret anymore.
I’m so sorry. What the fuck! It’s crazy you even have to deal with him saying anything. What a jerk. Your friend should tell him/ make him shut his mouth about it. That’s horrible he keeps bringing it up. And actually kind of creepy. I’m really sorry. This type of bs totally pisses me off.
@Kare that’s really awful. I’m sorry you’re dealing with so many douches.
@LadyE sounds like great progress!
@ktfran yay for coming out! lolYes, Tinder Teacher and I FINALLY got to see each other again this weekend! He showed up around 3ish on Saturday (after my flight got in super late Friday night and then my parents stopped by unexpectedly for lunch on Saturday. Oy vey.)
It was just so nice to see him! And he was so excited to see my new house. He demanded a full tour and even climbed up into the attic to see it lol. I had gone grocery shopping that morning because he had long ago mentioned maybe making lasagna together so I grabbed ingredients for that and some wine and beer. We might have made a beeline for the bed after the home tour (just keeping it real) and he mentioned dressing to go out to eat and I offered up the home cooked meal (my intention was to cook for him) and he jumped at that! But then he walked into the kitchen and started grabbing ingredients from the fridge and pantry and I told him that I meant to cook for him and he said “oh no, let me do this for you.”
A genuine Italian made me lasagna. And it was so goooooood. And I told him I really didn’t mean for him to drive all the way down and have to cook his own dinner and he said “oh no, when i tell this story it’s not gonna be ‘she made me cook dinner’ it’s gonna be “SHE LET ME COOK DINNER!'” Because he LOVES to cook. So I kept him company while he cooked and kept the wine glasses full.So we spent the night in drinking wine and eating lasagna and watching movies and fun bedroom time. Yesterday morning we woke up and the man MADE ME BREAKFAST. Seriously. I might marry him just for that. I was in charge of coffee. Done. So we laid around more and just enjoyed one anothers company and then showered up and he let me take him out to lunch at one of my favorite sports bars so he could see some of the Bears game. He of course loved his burger and bloody mary 🙂 We drove around my town for a quick tour and came back to my house. Watched another movie and snuggled. Enjoyed a little more bedroom time and then he had to go home 🙁
All in all, another really great weekend/date. Do we still call it a date if it lasts more than 24 hours? He kept saying how glad he was that he came down and how much he enjoyed it. So it’s my turn to go up there!
