The dates that just don't happen (Part 2)



So Michael...

That's his name.

I mentioned I thought he may be:

  1. Thoughtless 
...and I had gleaned this information from the few short text messages that we had sent each other before meeting for the first time on a single-person date (take a moment to read my previous entry about this).

Well, after I cancelled our date for 7pm a week ago, Michael sent me a message yesterday wondering if I was free on Saturday night. He sent this text at 12:11pm yesterday, and as I happened to be relaxing in a public library trying to complete a university assignment, I answered him straight back.  The conversation and approximate time of each text message went like this:

Michael: I'm free tomorrow night if that suits - 12:11pm Friday
Me: Sure. How about we grab a drink in (insert suburb name) somewhere if that is close to you? - 12:13pm Fri
Michael: (suburb name) is great.  How about Y bar or Z bar? - 12:14pm Fri
Me: Y bar is good.  What time would you like to meet? - 12:15pm Fri




Michael: Would 7pm suit? - 9:00pm Fri

Me: 7 is good.  I'll see you there then. - 8:40am Saturday


Stay tuned. I will let you know if my first impressions, I mean my text impressions are correct. I'm going to cop this one on the chin for the sake of the blog.

Pull my balls - Part 2

Image
Pulling balls = very hard work indeed "In my opinion".  It's always important to say that.  In my opinion, certain personality traits are easy to pick up on just by reading a man's profile on an Internet dating site.  Quiet bits of information that can be gleaned from the information provided. Whether or not I'm correct, playing this game of deeper meaning makes the screening process a bit more fun.  What music do you like?   This seems like an innocent enough question.  In my opinion, this question isn't so innocent.  Men who still list the same bands and songs that were popular when they were teenagers have failed to progress and grow.  25-30 years have passed since they were at university and you can't tell me that in all those years they are unable to come up with a few new tunes that take their fancy.  My guess is that they still have exactly the same opinions as they had back then.  Harsh aren't I?   Yes, yes, I'm getting to the st

Middle-age men and their missing molars

Image
I've only dated one man in the last year who hasn't been missing at least one tooth. And I've dated a few. It goes like this. Introductions over, perhaps sit and chat for a bit. You say something worthy of a LOL, or more likely, he says something he thinks is funny, he arches his head back and opens his mouth. Your first magic moment together. And bingo, there it is!  Or rather, there it isn't.  No matter how many times I see that 'space' I'm always shocked. 4th or 5th tooth back from the midline, usually upper mandible. Always obvious. These men have good cars (yes, they tell me), they're reasonably employed, ok clothes and hygiene...but their teeth! When you look at the Australian statistics, it's undoubtedly the poor who are missing teeth - adults without private health insurance, those on lower incomes and those who are eligible for public dental care have more missing teeth ( 1) . The cohort available to me on RSVP. Usually lower socioeco

Parachute men

Image
Today I’m going to divulge what I know about and term ‘parachute’ men.  These are the men who favour a soft landing when it’s time to come to earth. Over the last year and a half I've had the pleasure of dating a few men who (1) are still living with their wives but claim to be separated and (2) spend their adult lives setting up the next relationship before they've ended the existing one.  I call these men 'parachute men'. Firstly, I'll tackle the men who need one relationship to ooze into another.  These men are hand-holders and need to be loved and petted a lot in order to be completely happy.  *Romeo, the “but you didn’t ask” man (see  my previous post  about a man who is happy to orgasm every time he enters a woman, and happier still if his partner quietly puts up with receiving nothing for her efforts - sorry a bit vague, that does cover a large proportion of the male population) was a classic.  He couldn't be by himself for a week.  He ha
