Double the Turn-down, Double the Unfun
Friday, August 05, 2005Getting sent packing after one date wasn't good enough last night, so I went and had it happen twice.
Shut Down 1 -
The date with Kickball girl went ok, but not great. We ended up just having dinner and a few drinks instead of dinner and dancing.
We met up around eightish at her place, got a kiss on the cheek hello, and she picked out Sally's to go eat so we could take advantage of this discount book she has. She was looking cute yet again in a black shirt that looks like the fabric is wrapping around here and had a tie in the back and also a cute flowing blue and black flowery skirt. I had a white stylish shirt on and black shorts since I know you're wondering Diana. ;O)
We walked over to Sally's all snuggly like since she was a little chilly. During dinner we sat close and had the whole hand holding, leg rubbing and occasional kiss thing going on. She had a Cheeseburger while I had their Guinness Beef stew. After dinner we talked and kinda decided neither of us had the energy to go dancing, but we would definitely have to do it some other night.
We had some good convo's during dinner. Basically just being up front and honest. We talked about dating other people and I found out she is dating one other person, but doesn't see him very often. I also found out that she's a huge commitmentophobe. Call her girlfriend and she's gone. She apologized for not wanting something serious, but I told her not to worry about it.
instead of dancing we walked over to a different bar next store, Stub and Herb's, that used to be my old haunt. I still know just about everyone who works there and still got a free drink. We were pretty snuggly, still with the occasional kisses and what not.
Cute Paramedic called. I was going to let it go to voicemail, but I couldn't do it. Since they had a live band I had to go outside to hear. She talked me for the flowers and said they helped. She was pretty down because she got a callback on a job she interviewed for at 9:30pm and was told she didn't get it. She invited me out tonight but I'll have Conservative Girl's birthday, so we made plans to hang out Saturday.
Went back inside and had another drink with Kickball girl. I told her who called and said she had been having a bad couple days and some friends hadn't heard from her so I wanted to make sure she's doing ok. We were still snuggly and all that.
We headed out after we finished our drinks. She was going to see me off at the door, but I had to use her bathroom. We chatted in her place for a while. Ended up with some mild making out, but that was it. I tried to entice her into having some company but she wasn't up for it.
A good date for sure, but nothing off the charts. We might hang out on Sunday depending on her schedule, otherwise we made a date for The Vintage on Wednesday. We'll see how that place works with someone I'm interested in...
Shut Down 2 -
Anyway after shut down 1, I messaged Cute Paramedic to see if she was still out. She messaged back saying yes at Otter's and I asked if she wanted to have a drink together. She replied "I'm here." I figured why not, and headed over.
I knew where the place was, but for some reason I looked up directions on my phone and ended up in the totally wrong place. After 45 min of driving I finally ended up at the place I should have gone to in the first place. Dumbass.
I got there and was greeted by her and some of her friends. Got a hug hello. We chatted here and there, and listen to people make fools of themselves at karaoke. A couple of the guys got up and did Hairband style yell-singing to songs that were nothing like that. Very funny.
She showed me a picture of the flowers, they were very pretty. A combo of pink plants, some lily like ones and a few others that I'm not sure what they were.
I saw a guy I know as a regular at Stub and Herb's there, he lives a couple blocks away. He was hanging out with a woman I've seen him with before, who's apparently a hooker. You couldn't pay me to sleep with her, but apparently she's a pro.
We drank until they closed, had couple of whiskey diets (I even got the Bartender to make big ones instead of the little 10 oz pilsner ones). In a great omen of the night, when I went to pay my tab the bartender asks "So you're Sarah?" Say what?? The waitress at Sally's had taken my card so we could start a tab. When she brought the bill she didn't bring the card, I told her just to charge it to the card I gave her. She came back with what I thought was my card, I signed the slip and we left. Apparently she gave me some other girls card and charged our meals to it as well. .oO(So who the hell has my card and what are they doing with it?) I pay with a different card and we head outside.
While we're chatting outside CP's friends (two of them are cops) decide they should go over to the 1029. While we're chatting we hear a nice loud crunch of metal and plastic. A nice sounding car accident. A couple minutes later, a car drive up the street toward the bar and you could see the front end mangled, and hear a nasty rubbing sound and smell the burning tire from it. Some drunk motherfuckers (they had to be if they're driving a car in that condition) just kept going, pieces dangling off and tires smoking all the way. One of CP's friends says he'll see us later, hops in his truck and takes off after them. I'm sure at this point the driver regrets that he made that turn...
Anyway, CP say they're going to head over and I asked if she wanted a ride, but she already had one with her other friends and basically told me not to come. She said that since I wasn't "in the business," meaning I wasn't a cop or paramedic. I probably wouldn't get in and she doubted the would serve me. Gee, thanks for at least trying. Gave me a hug goodnight and that was that.
I stopped off at Sally's on the way home and luckily they still had my card, the had me sign a new slip that actually was for my card and took the other Girl's card back.
So there's my night of dead ends. Hopefully the possible tonight and plans with CP for tomorrow stand, but I guess we'll see.
Now I'm going to go back to Slacking in Dual Monitor form. I got a second monitor at work so I can do the fun drag stuff from one screen onto the other things now :O) Technogeekage at it's best. Two high end workstations and now dual-monitorness.
Yup.

Chief - Right now I'm just saying "Hmmmm..." as I try to form my opinion. I'm sorry that things didn't go that great with both girls. It sounds like you and KG have a nice time together but she's not interested in dating one person seriously. Do you want to perhaps date her until you do find someone better matched? And CP...sounds like an okay time but I am bothered that she shut you down like that at the end. I mean, maybe she didn't mean anything by it, but it still seems kind of odd to not even try to get you to go with them to that bar or wherever.
I don't know...I'm rambling now. hehehe ;-) It sounds like you have potential plans brewing for the weekend though. I'd be interested to hear if you get together with either girl. Hang in there, Chief! Things will pan out...whether it's with one of these girls or a new girl who's about to come along. :) -

Yes. What Marie said. All of it. At least you're not dating girls who are the equivalent of the guys I blogged about today. Take comfort in that!

Gotta say I agree with Captain Bee...
You're dropping everything for CP, and it's sending the wrong signals. You're gonna end up looking like a chump. Don't let her call you at the last minute and expect that you'll drop everything for her. -

That's actually a surprisingly good call, Amy.
The System is good but some of the stuff in it is VERY weak.
For a starter, The System is VERY good, though. It will get you on the right track.
Once you get rolling with that, you'll see a lot more success. But like I said, The System is just a primer...there is much better available after that. -

Marie - Yeah, i definitely need to meet some new girls, but I'll keep dating these in the meantime. Both of them have some big flaws, we'll see if it changes or not.
Amber - I've dated those before ;O) and trust me after OCD Girl, they can't get too mcuh worse.
Cap B - Hey, unless I have something better in the wings, why boot anything yet? As for the rest of your comment, I've stayed true to my nature being a nice guy to see how it fared and so far it's been bad... I'll definteily be trying this advice out and see how it works.
S.C. - I understand that a little bit, but it was jsut the way she handled it. Not a biggie though.
OzzyC - I haven't dropped eveything, but I did want to make time. it was more testing to see if she was interested.
Amy - I'll have to look into that book. I've just been to nice of a guy all my life, it's hard to break that habit. maybe the book will help.
Cap B - All i can do is take a look.
Amy - You should be dating counselor or something ;O) hehe. -

OzzyC - Apprently this book is popular.. I'll have to give it a look.
Diana - Well unless something turns around with CP, nothings really going to come of either of them, now I have the dilemma of not really having a good place to meet girls again, but we'll see. And no prob clothesgeek ;O)
