Singles revisited -

JB's post in my last thread made me think I should pass this one on for everyones light reading.

Ah lying - the lost art.

I was talking to a gal last a couple of weeks back and we joked around a lot & yes we even danced a lot too – great dancer BTW. But anyway I was a gentlemen and nothing happened other than the fact that I made the dreaded error of exchanging numbers so she could let me know when she was going to be back in town again. Again she was a great dancer.

That said besides her talents on the dance floor - she was easy person to talk to was interesting & smart and seemed totally unthreatening. Besides all that she was an absolute knock out to boot! But honestly she never gave the first hint that she “liked” me in any way. That coupled with the fact that she lived well over two hours away no alarm bells went off and I had no reason to be suspicious.

Fast forward to today:
I get a couple of calls from this gal saying she’d like to talk to me because I was in areas with poor reception I couldn’t return her calls. Well this afternoon I’m heading home and the phone rings.

She’s talking about meeting me sometime soon. It’s at this point that I start to get that old feeling of dread. But remembering the (Psycho chick from the other night) I start back peddling like a SOB & am willing to say & do anything about the prior agreement. Stuff like I’m not really looking and the distance is too great. Frankly I was rattling stuff of the top of my head I’m not even sure now what all I said.

That’s when she pauses and lets out a deep sigh and asks if one of her friends told me her real age? Thinking back I don’t recall anybody actually saying how old she was, I just recall something about us being around the same age as me - give or take a year or two. But that’s when she says she was sorry about lying to me about being 50 (I’m 48 BTW) and that her real age is 57.

Truthfully (pun intended) I wouldn’t of cared less about her age. Then she tried to tell me that she thought I’d grow to like her - then she’d tell me the truth then. I said even if I was interested – lying is not the way to start a relationship. I just hope she’s too embarrassed to ever call me back.

But as nice looking as she was – it goes to prove the old adage that “Every thing that Glitters - is not Gold”.

I just want to know why I'm attracting all the crazy ones.

Probably because its the majority of them that are out there!
 
Right. The ones that are married are not crazy? On occasion, they do get a "little off" but I'd take that over having to get back into dating. I asked my wife to be my steady 21 years ago tomorrow. I don't envy you in the least. Good look out there on the dating circuit and land a good'n.
 
Now, now, now. Let's be fair here, have you boys ever taken a look at the available (or not) men out and about these days? We're sinking to the bottom of the gene pool here. I'm out a lot, restaurants, concerts, theater, pubs. I could look like the picture I posted in Bret's other thread and I'd get hit on. From the guy that owns my favorite pub to the Old Geezer (I'm guessing 70+) at Best Buy that EWWWWW made tongues at me and wiggled his eyebrows. I literally busted out laughing at the poor ol' coot.

Were I single, I would not be looking, would not be fair game. Not with what I've seen out there the past (way too) many years. Men are every bit as crazy, immature, desperate as women these days.
 
immature? I resemble that remark /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif I agree, there are far too many crazies out there, but luckily all the female ones are after Bret. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
 
Sitting here watching "Play Misty for me" just reinforces again the whole...crazies out ther theme!
 
Or what was that movie I never watched with Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone...
 
Your first kiss ? - and then???

So, it's your first kiss and several questions come to mind:





Is it the right time?





Is anyone watching?





Does your partner even want to?





Is your breath fresh?





Then you lean in and just go for it!!!

See, I told you men are JUST as crazy and desperate as women. Moreso, this proves it.
 
Was single for 11 years.
Got tired of looking and talking to "PEOPLE" who had way too many personal agendas and not interested in a partner, only a provider.
Funny thing, as soon as I quit looking, the best lady in the world found and rescued me.
In short, Bret, don't try so hard or worry so much, and to be honest, I love Annie.

/bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif But again, I didn't know the mere act of walking out my front door was trying.

Thing is we all know that there are a lot of women out there (and a few men too I’m sure) that stretch the age thing. But I can’t imagine it’d be a the best way to start out looking for someone by lying about something like that.

Like I said she was attractive, intelligent and even thou I'm pretty good at guessing, I honestly don't think I would’ve never guessed her age. But with a great total package I was just surprised that she felt she had to “lie”.
