the green is my favorite too. I’m running to the mall on my lunch break to look real quick and if I don’t find something I’ll rent it!
okay I’m embracing the fun part of this – want to help me pick a dress??
These are my two favorites right now:

Okay! lol. I told him I’d go last night, so I’m working on a dress and getting out of work early on Saturday! What the hell, it’s a free dinner and a cute guy in uniform.
So fun fact: i used to help teach ballroom dancing at a military academy when I was growing up. So a ball does sound like fun but with someone I just met? Dont know.
One of my very good friends is also going to the ball with her boyfriend, so if nothing else, she’d be there. And I’m sure I could also pull out an old bridesmaid dress to wear. But you’re right @snoopy, my biggest concern is my energy level right now. I’m supposed to work retail for five hours that day. I might be tired and cranky after that lol!
And at first I thought maybe he just wanted a ball date but he did mention the football game and I do love football so I wouldn’t hate doing that.
Just curious what your first thought were, my people.
I went on a date yesterday that was totally not my type but it went well!
I had kept my okcupid profile active and he actually messaged me before TT and I ended things and he seemed pretty intelligent and cute and actually read my profile and asked things about me so I gave him a shot.
My usual type is tall and bearded and maybe a bit on the huskier side – this guy is clean shaven, former military and does tough mudders for fun. And has half sleeve tattoos – which are admittedly a weakness of mine. So we had sushi yesterday for lunch and he’s very nice. We sat and talked for about 2.5 hours and he invited me to the national guard ball this coming Saturday. I was a bit taken back because, ball? Like with ballgowns and such for a second date?
What do you guys think? I told him I’d let him know tomorrow because i have to see my work schedule for Saturday. His alternative idea for a second date is a NFL football game, so I get the impression he’s a go big or go home kinda guy lol.
I mean, I own a rifle for target shooting with my dad, but Wendy is right, racist in Missouri usually means REALLY RACIST. And I just don’t want to go there. I’ll think on it.
And yes, it would help to break type. TT was not really my usual type physically. Personality wise he was. I dunno, I’ll keep my options open.
Mom has been having another “episode” since thanksgiving and mostly i just want to go home and crawl up in a ball and not deal with her or think about dating right now until I feel better. I know that’s not going to solve anything, but man it sounds nice.
Oh I didn’t mean to imply he ambushed me – my co worker’s mom definitely did! And the age thing isn’t a deal breaker just a little older than I’m used to.
I dunno. If he’s willing to come down here again I’d go out for coffee.
The conservative part was more so the turnoff for me. Big on guns and 2nd amendment and wanted to talk about the Ferguson riots and the crap going on at Mizzou – and that’s just not stuff I want to talk about.
Can I tell you about the accidental date I went on? Yes, accidental.
So TT and I ended things last weekend and I wasn’t really looking for a date quite yet. But my sneaky co-worker asked me to come out for drinks and dinner Saturday night with her family, and I adore them so I agreed. Welllllll, her mom had other plans and invited her boyfriend’s BFF to come along and “meet Veritek for a date.” Too bad Veritek didn’t know about this.
I get to the restaurant and the only empty chair is right next to this guy. Nice enough, decent looking, but I’m just not ready/excited for dates right now so I was kinda overwhelmed. He was fun to talk to but I just can’t see going on a date with him. He’s 10 years older, not really what I’m normally attracted to, very conservative etc. And it made me really uncomfortable when he paid for my dinner and drink without asking me. I DIDN’T KNOW I WAS ON A DATE. And then my co-workers mom gave him my cell phone number and he texted me afterward. Oy. I was not prepared for this. So long story short, he really likes me and wants to go out again – but he lives 3 hours away. JUST LIKE TT.
We all know how that ended.
So that’s the story of Veritek’s accidental Thanksgiving weekend date.
Lol ange. Come over, we’ll wash dishes together lol
🙂 he loves it Kate, will do
I don’t really want to talk about TT or that situation anymore and I don’t really see anything wrong with being excited about my new dishwasher. Especially if I am working on myself and my house right now. So that’s what I’m gonna focus on: my self, my house, and my brand-new shiny dishwasher . And I’ll be happy to Netflix by myself today.
