I'm going to share my conflicted feelings about some of the men I'm dating.  I know this may result in someone being rude, but here we go.
 
Last night as I was doing laundry and kicking back S from sunday night called.  He was calling to see when we might have another date.  Apparently my kiss left him "dizzy".  I gotta find a way to bottle and sell that! LOL  So we tentatively set up a date for next sunday.  I think.  I'm a little fuzzy on the details since I was very tired and only half interested in the conversation.  I'm thinking I need to cut this guy loose.  He's nice, very polite, but the fact of the matter is that I didn't get dizzy when we kissed.  That, and the fact that he seems okay with me doing most of the find him, driving to him, etc bothers me.  I think if a guy is really interested in me he should at least initially do most of the driving.  Call me old fashioned, but the game of chase the girl has always been fun for me.
 
I'm supposed to see M tonight, and probably still will.  I had an out and out discussion about two very important behaviors that I have decided have no place in my romantic life.  Jealousy and control.  He says he has no problem with them, but small things that he says lead me to believe otherwise.  Or maybe I'm just super sensitive to it since my last boyfriend was the jealousy and control king.  I am looking forward to seeing him, but the idea of a 45 mile drive after work makes me tired just thinking about it. (not to mention bridge tolls)
 
As I was cruising the net in search of fun conversation I ran across my next potential victim ..... er ..... date.  He's cute, we had a nice conversation with dual webcams going.  I'm a little bit afraid that he's way too smart for me though.  I love smart, but this guys brains (at least in the language dept) are astronomical.  I doubt I could keep up with him and he might get bored.  He speaks 5 languages and is studying a 6th at the moment.  Some of the languages are intensely difficult.  We'll see if it works out to anything more than a glass of red wine over a conversation that doesn't involve multiple languages.  Another point in his favor is that he is a local boy, born and bred.  Something vaguely comforting to know his roots are here as are mine.
 
I'm also supposed to meet up with they youngster for a movie.  No definate day or time, but that's okay.  It may have to wait seeing as how my "dance card" is filling up for this week and I refuse to unschedule my "down time" days.
 
Okay, comment away ..... or at least help me figure out if I'm on target here.  I'm still amazed at the amount of interest I'm receiving from men.  A total mystery as to why a man would subject himself to my brand of crazy.  Maybe it's the big boobs.

      It sounds like you have become quite a magnet. What an assortment to choose from. It sounds like it's raining men in you're world. Better you're s then mine. I wish you a good outcome in your search for the perfect companion.   
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....
    CM - you know, at this point I'm actually comfortable with the idea of not actually searching for Mr. Right.  Perhaps that was the point all along.  To just enjoy the "flood" of company.
  • fragglesrock said on Mar 10, 2009....
    i think that variety is the spice of life uni! in learning about other people we also learn more about ourselves.  our own likes, dislikes, etc... meeting so many people broadens our horizons, encourages confidence (not that you are lacking), teaches social skills (again, not saying your lacking)...
     
    i think you should give yourself more credit than to say that it might be the bazongas that have attracted the guys, although, i'm sure it doesn' hurt and there may be one or two that are that shallow, but you'll know em when you meet them and then you can give them the flick of the wrist.
     
    the other great thing about you getting out and meeting so many people is the potential for new friendships.  i think it's great :)
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....
    frags - so am I being superficial when I cut someone loose for not doing enough driving, suspecting they're not completely honest with me?
  • MsStar39 said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Unique you are having a lot of fun and you should but make them drive to you or meet them halfway somewhere. I am sure that the bazongas help.
  • fragglesrock said on Mar 10, 2009....
    uni - no, i think that a guy should show a little effort on his part...unless there really are valid reasons?
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....
    MsStar - good!  I thought it was a little stupid for them to expect that I do all the driving.  I mean I could see it if they were in jail or something ....... bwa ha ha ha!  Just kidding!!!! really!
     
    frags - yes, there are few reasons why a guy needs to make the woman do more than 1/2 the driving.
  • Hegemone said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Uni, I don't think its unreasonable to want the chase.  Him not offering to drive to you more could lead on to other things that he'll be lazy about later on.  That doesn't make for a good relationship, so really, I don't blame you there.  So far as the smart guy, well, yeah those are all valid worries, I'd be the same way.  Actually I'd probably just feel mentally intimidated a lot of the time and just not want to deal with him.  So good luck there, if for nothing else, it'll be an interesting conversation of sorts.  Lol, I liked how you tagged the youngun.  Could be fun for you though, maybe that's just what you need for a while!  Definitely no problems with trying a little bit of every flavor for a while.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Well, I just caught M in a lie, so I drop kicked his ass to the curb.  Of all the things to lie about, he lied about which town he lived in ..... and they're right next to each other!!!  So it looks as if tonight may be another kick back night.
     
    Hege - good, another like mind on the driving thing.  I can see if later down the road it makes more sense for me to do the driving.  As for the smart guy, I am already intimidated by his language skills, I'm just hoping his social skills aren't non-existant.  I can live with being outsmarted, but socially retarded is not acceptable.
  • MsStar39 said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Unique, another  thing you driving to them makes it look like you are desperate, and that is one thing that you are not.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....
    MsStar - I can see how a guy might think that.  I've always been so fair minded that I have assumed that 1/2 the burden costwise was mine.  Perhaps it's time to dial that back a little.
  • cuppajava said on Mar 10, 2009....
    you are a very vibrant and fun person with a real sense of humour -its not always about the boobs....however,you driving all over the place to meet guys is a bit rough -that should stop.I will say that you are keeping your options open - but just dont spread yourself too thin - then you would put yourself in a position where you dont feel much for any of them.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....
    cuppa - points taken.  Yes, I do need to stop driving for them and yes I need to narrow down the field a little. 
  • Lucytorial said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Firstly thats a damn long drive.... is this guy willing to meet you half way.  I mean its after work he should be able to make half the effort right?
     
    As if you aren't hot.... why wouldn't they be attracted to you, I still reckon you should get them to chase you though... make them work harder.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Lu - well the driving point is moot.  I caught him in a lie, a stupid one really, but that's something I can't tolerate any more.  And yes, I will make them drive.
  • Lucytorial said on Mar 10, 2009....
    he lied? ohh fuck what an idiot.. thats something I know you can't stand. 
  • quietone said on Mar 10, 2009....
    All I can say is I am so glad you are having fun with all of this instead of the "serious" side.  You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!... but yes, I agree, make them drive a bit more~  :)
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Lu - yes, it's a deal breaker, no matter how insignificant.  We had even discussed this lying thing even before we met.
     
    quietone - I think all the "goal focused" stuff I do in life was making me a little nuts with the whole concept of dating.  Once I relaxed and started seeing it as a game or fun rather than a quest it got a lot more fun! :)  yes, less driving for me.
  • Lucytorial said on Mar 10, 2009....
    twit.... well anyway as you say at least you have loads more fun around to enjoy and isn't it nice to be able to cut the string before more damaging shit can happen... cool!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Lu - yes, I'm sure I'll find some way to "comfort" myself from the disappointment. ;)
  • Lucytorial said on Mar 10, 2009....
    bwaa ha ha haaa
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Lu - you know me too well ;)
  • Lucytorial said on Mar 10, 2009....
    sssshhh its getting scary again! tee he hehe
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Lu - yeah! poor you!
  • Lucytorial said on Mar 10, 2009....
    you know if I had half the energy to fucking get up and go out somewhere after work I wouldn't be boring, as it is I get home from work at 7pm at night and thats bloody it! I'm dead, I need food, I need sleep and I need to turn my brain off, by the time I've done that I'm alseep on the couch at 9:30.... sucks working.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Lu - Gawd!! I see I'm going to have to drag your sorry ass out at night when I'm there.  Reacquaint you with your inner party animal! :)
  • Lucytorial said on Mar 10, 2009....
    well yes please..... I hate the fact that I work till late, have to get up at 6am to be at work by 7:30..... thems long days love, thank god I won't be working when you get here...
     
    Save me SAVE SEMORE from myself... my inner party animal, my inner fuck head wants to have some fun!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Lu - I consider having fun with friends my "first priority" so since we're both not working ........ look out world!!!
  • Lucytorial said on Mar 10, 2009....
    I just remembered that the field in front of the house (long valley) cows live there, they low and moo so loud you can hear exactly what they're talking about... we could end up talking to those cows you know... like an interview..
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Ohhhh, can we go cow tipping?!! Pleeeeese?

    "I think if a guy is really interested in me he should at least initially do most of the driving.  Call me old fashioned, but the game of chase the girl has always been fun for me."

    "... two very important behaviors that I have decided have no place in my romantic life.  Jealousy and control. "

    "A total mystery as to why a man would subject himself to my brand of crazy.  "

    Get ready for more control freaks.  You don't WANT to like it, but you do.  The control freaks don't care what you think you like, so it's win-win.

    Poor nice guy.  The spicy vixen that lights his fire demands a bad boy.
    Oh well.  That can be awful tough to train.

  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....
    dyingman - not sure what point you were trying to make, but thanks for coming by.
  • SlickNick said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Uni - How could you possibly think you are unattractive or crazy? The only thing crazy about you is that you think you're unattractive. Anyways I'm really happy that you are finally getting the attention you deserve. 
  • one_wired_kitty said on Mar 10, 2009....

    MWAHAHAHAHAHA @ "next victim"

     

    Do what you gotta do, baby.

  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 10, 2009....

    Slick - ahhh thanks!  you're a sweetheart!

    OWK - Oh my *sigh* I did. 

  • scipio said on Mar 11, 2009....
    "Maybe it's the big boobs." - 
     
    May be this part of your blog  needs to be looked into.  That's what drives the men crazy.
     
     
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 11, 2009....
    scipio - maybe you're right, but being so "close" to the subject I'm afraid I couldn't be objective.
  • CreativeWoman said on Mar 11, 2009....
    You are living life and not sitting at home being lonely.  I think that's great.  :-)

    CW
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 11, 2009....
    CW - well that part is great.  I'm definately not the type to sit at home waiting for life to come to me.
  • rmuxagirl said on Mar 12, 2009....
    I think a guy should totally make an effort when he is interested.  He could have driven to meet you or at least offer  halfway that way both wouldn't have to do ALL the driving you know.

    I think the fact that YOU didn't feel dizzy after the kiss is something to consider.  I mean is it possible for dizziness in the future?  As far as the jealousy and control things, if it's small things that make you think otherwise with M, maybe it is being super sensitive because you are on guard about it.

    And no more of the "it's the boobs" come on girl we all know you're hot and that's what draws them in ;)
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 12, 2009....
    rmux - with very few exceptions I really am thinking that the driving should be shared.  I don't think I'm going to develop dizziness with the guy in question, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to toss that one back.  Yeah, I guess if it were the boobs they'd be tossing me back after one "try".
  • rmuxagirl said on Mar 12, 2009....
    uni: I would toss the guy back if I don't think there would be dizziness.  Sure he could be fun to be around, but if there isn't that spark then it's not worth it ya know.  The guy I went out with last night drove an hour to come see me which I thought was so sweet, but I would consider meeting him at least halfway gas and all ya know.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Mar 12, 2009....
    rmux - that was sweet!  Let him do it a couple of times before you offer to meet him or take turns with the driving.  It's kind of a test of how attracted he is to you, but it totally works in your favor!  The only exception to the driving rule I have is if for reasons of occupation my date cannot travel outside a certain distance to see me.
  • rmuxagirl said on Mar 12, 2009....
    Uni: well yea that is totally understandable.  i wouldn't want a guy to travel a certain distance to see me.  i think there is a line that gets drawn when it comes to the length of time for a guy to drive out for us LOL.  But at least having a guy drive some distance shows there is an interest.
  • dyingman said on Apr 08, 2009....
    Simpler,
    Men who "get in the driver's seat" tend to like to be in control.  The thing you said you didn't want.

    The two strike me as contradictory.... thus your "crazy"ness.



  • uniquely-ironic said on Apr 08, 2009....
    dyingman - but isn't everyone a little bit crazy?
