Oh wow...you wouldnt believe.  Well ok, ud believe it but i hardly do.
 
Phil right?  Remember him?  The guy i was thinking about turning into my friend with benefits?  But i wasnt particularly interested in him and wanted to let him down gently remember?  The guy that worships the ground i walk on remember?
 
Well he textd me today wanting to know if i wanted to eat dinner with him.  Ive been avoiding his dates for weeks.  Hes been asking me out nonstop for the past week or so and something keeps "coming up" : P. 
 
Well i told him i already had plans for dinner tonight.  He says "tonight? no i mean at noon."
 
I hate it when people call lunch, dinner.  Its breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
 
NOT breakfast, dinner, supper!  grrr...
 
Anyways he broke me down and non of my excuses stuck. 
 
I caved and told him id meet him at Westside at noon.
 
I asked my dad for advice.
 
I told my dad this guy likes me a lot and im not that interested in him and he wants to take me to lunch, how do i say no nicely?
 
Well my dad gave me the third degree about it. 
Asked his age, where he worked, if hes good looking, why dont i like him and many more.
 
My dad's advice was to go to lunch and explain im not looking for a relationship and go into detail about how melissa and i have plans to move to Houston. 
 
This way he knows its not a direct stab at him and that im just not gonna be around so i dont want to get serious with anyone.
 
I agreed id tell him that...
 
Well hes starting to grow on me.  I think hes starting to get more comfortable around me because he no longer laughs at everything i say.
 
That was the number one reason i didnt like him.  I thought his laugh was annoying and made him sound stupid and the fact that he did it after my everyword made me not like him.
 
Then the hair was a problem.  The guy has a nice face.  For real, hes a good looking cat.  But hes hair is long and he has an overgrown goatee...
 
He promised hed let me cut it.  I was supose to cut it the other day but he bailed.
 
I think after i cut his hair hes gonna be a lot more attractive to me.
 
Hes 6ft tall, hes blonde, blue eyes and is semi built.  Hes lean, but not skinny.
 
I usually go for tall dark and handsome.
 
Hes tall, white, and furry.
 
Anyways- He took me to lunch and was surprisingly tolerable.  In fact, im starting to like him.
 
He was polite, sweet we had good conversation and he paid for lunch. : )
 
He has the cutest sweetest little puppy dog ever and he takes her everywhere with him, her name is Lillian but he just calls her "lil".  I think that says a lot about the kind of guy he is...dont u?
 
I learned a lot more about him today. 
 
I dont know what is above "certified auto body technician".  When i asked him if he was a certified auto body technician, he got offended and said "No, im a blahblah im a step up from certified" i dont remember what he said though.  I get the feeling he has some kind of "degree".  idk maybe u can clear that up for me.
 
Anyways he makes good money being a body guy and on top of that he is a plumbing contractor.  He installs the plumbing in new houses.  Also good money.
 
So hes educated and has a "career" not a job.  Thats important to me.  He also has some cash in his pocket, now i dont care if hes rich or poor but its important to me that he can atleast support himself.  I dont want another guy to rely on me to feed him.  So the fact that he has money takes that stress away.
 
He has lots of nieces and nephews and babysits them all a lot.  I think thats sweet.
 
Im not gonna go on and on about the things i like about him...u guys get it.
 
He just the big goofy clutz.  He has zero social skills and has virtually no game.  He is such a nerd and dork.  But i like him.
 
Im shocked that i like him.  I am still trying to fight it.  He is just not the kind of guy i see myself with ever.
 
But the fact that he treats me like a queen and is a totally nice guy.  Its hard for me to not like him...
 
All those times ive said "all i want is a nice guy"..."there are just no nice guys around"...well i think i found one.
 
C'mon, he has a little doggy that he takes everywhere with him (shows hes got a heart)
He takes care of all his nieces and nephews (shows hessensitive, considerate, patient, humorous)
He has two great jobs (shows hes not a loser, and is responsible)
He paid for lunch and thinks i make the sun rise he cant get enough of me.
They way he presents himself, the "uncool" clothes, the i dont care what u think hair, the piece of crap pick up truck...all this just tells me he is not vein, self absorbed or worried about what people think.  It tells me that he is genuine with a take me or leave me attitude.
 
Doesnt all of that just scream "im a nice guy".
 
I cant help myself, i hate how he dresses, i hate his glasses, i hate is long scraggly hair, i hate is nasty goatee...But i like him a lot.  a lot.  : )
 
I still dont know what im planning on doing.  I really dont want a serious relationship but i do like having him around.  I think for once im just gonna go along for the ride.
 
Im always planning and making goals and to do lists, i always know my next move.
I mean im spontaneous and outgoing but  never with anything that matters.
Situations that directly effect my life i  tend to carefully weigh both sides and make a logical decision based on what i think is best for me.
 
Well with phil im gonna through all logic out the window and just go for the ride and see were i end up.
I am going to be careful though, and im absolutly gonna go really slow.
 
I figure well hang out a little and ill just get to know him. 
 
Offcourse u all will be there with me through the whole thing, right? : )

I changed my profile pics on the dating site and men are coming out of the woodwork. I guess the last pics were pretty bad. I took some the other day that turned out good and finally feel like the real me is being represented.
