The latest

Beardy and I are big on Words With Friends.

Chad **updated

You guys ever have those nights where you plan to go to a movie but instead you go to the pub and have, like, 400 drinks instead? Yeah...that was me yesterday. The day after St. Patrick's Day. 

So we were at a pub downtown and there was a guy sitting at the bar by himself. And I felt strangely attracted to him? This was weird because (and I don't even know where to start) 1. he had those ear expander things, 2. he had a TON of tattoos, and 3. he had a giant beard. Like...not George Clooney, not even Brad Pitt. Think longer and more Jesusy. It was longer than that. Oh! And he was wearing a flat-brim baseball cap. Who am I these days?

So I "casually" started chatting with him when I ordered my beer. He looked cheerful about speaking to me. Later, when I came out of the bathroom, I flashed him a huge grin and walked into a table. Oops. 

Next time I ordered a beer, we started chatting more, and actually exchanged phone numbers. We exchanged a little smooch (I am nothing if not classy) and my friends and I left. My wise friend C said "I am letting this last exactly one night." I texted him some frankly weird texts on the train home, but I didn't hear back. 

I did, however, hear from him this morning? He wanted to add me on Facebook. His cover photo, of course, is a photo progression of his beard growing. Even more noteworthy than that: he's in a relationship. !!

*******************

I learned the following things on FB:

• His profile photo looks like "one of those courtroom drawings when cameras aren't allowed in" (credit to T)
• He is an artist, and is actually pretty good
• He's maybe an alcoholic? And has acknowledged this by making a mock "Intervention" episode about himself. He forwarded me the link this morning

A cancellation

So, I decided to cancel my Match account today. I have only been on for three months, but out of the probably (and literally) FIFTY emails I sent out, I heard back from two guys. TWO. What a waste of my money and time. I have friends who it really worked for, but clearly it was not for me. 

I kind of think that I might have better luck meeting guys in person for some reason. I have had tons of people look over my profile and help me rewrite it. I am seriously at a loss as to why I had such a crappy experience, but c'est la vie I guess. And if I am going to continue to have a crappy time online dating, I would rather do it on a site that is not charging me an arm and a leg for the privilege.

Time to change my pics?

"I looked at your pictures. You are so beautiful and sexy. Your tops are amazing. The second picture reveal what a beautiful boobs you have."

Same story...different shoe? Does that make sense?

I went for a nice coffee date this week at a really cute little place. Too bad it was with a super cute guy....who had a girlfriend. And we talked about work. I can't figure out which I should concentrate more on: getting a job, or getting a man. (I know that the right answer is a job!)
