December 13, 2012 Love in less than 140 characters

banner_twitter_1

You know that nagging piece of guilt in the pit of your stomach when something is left undone?  Catching up on my blog is such an example, especially because I completed date #49 last Friday*.

*Technically, I may not be at 49.  I missed quite a few dates while “in a relationships” with Hard Drive and I also duplicated a few dates like dog walks at Trout Lake and walks on the seawall.  Nevertheless, we’ll celebrate it now.

Here is an update on my trysts; a play by play in twitter-size bites, 140 characters or less.  Fun for you, easy for me.

@Beaker Fun times but you dropped off the face of Vancouver and I thought I was out of your league. #shameonme #dates1&3

@Captain Tested the waters and divulged my blogging intentions. #fail #date2

@TheDuke You didn’t call. I didn’t care. #date4

@CatHat You wear your cat on your head. #nuffsaid #date5

@Tats You’re so sane and sketchy at the same time. You STILL romance me with flowers, sweet nothings and photos but WE HAVE NEVER MET. #wtf

@SilverFox Yo mama’s so old, she knew Mr. Clean when he had an afro… and other jokes http://ow.ly/g3OBc #date6&11

@Beancounter This tweet is as void as our chemistry. #date7

@Mohawk Too bad you ran into your ex on eHarmony and got back together. #youwinsomeyoulosesome #date6

@SpinachInSeattle You drove from Seattle. #wasteoftime #brushyourteethalready #date9

@Flanker The food was the best part. Plan time between dentists and dates dumbass. #frozenface #date10

@Tequila Sometimes chemistry is freakin’ ridiculous #IthinkImdatingadrugdealer #hangmyheadinshame #dates12&13&14

@Hybrid Good things come to those who wait. Not in this case. #nofireworks #date15

@Fromage Your sexy texts made me barf in my mouth. Sorry I crushed you. #date16

@TwoStep Some friends don’t need benefits. Glad we’re still connected. #date17&25

@ImKindOfABigDeal So happy we met. You’re my escape. ❤

@OldSchool Was this even a date? #date18

@HardDrive Love that we still hang out and laugh. You’re so cute. #relationship #dates19&21&22&24&26

@Sunshine You were a total DB and I was stuck at your house without a ferry to get home. #lessonlearned #date20

@Pilot I’m so sorry the girl who got away from you ended up being one of my best friends. #awkward #laughedtillIpeed #date23&28&29&30&31&32&35

@GreenGiant Our convos make me happy and your beard smells like home. Happy we clicked. #funtimes #campingbuddy #date25&27&34

@TurkishDelight Sorry I didn’t want to see you again. Kidding, I’m not. #date33

@ToothFairy Fun paddling but limited chemistry. #dontdateadentist http://ow.ly/g3R48 #date36

@EnglishMuffin Not turned on by your flowing locks and attempts at putting your arm around me while cycling. #seriously #date37

@MrIntense Too much cuckoo for this girl; mental medical history on a first date. #TMI #date39

@Woody Wood have liked a second date. #toobad4me #date40

@FancyPants Good till you started an argument to see if I fought fair. #movienight #argofuckyourself http://ow.ly/g3RCb #dates41&42&43&44

@Manboy #thenakedman doesn’t work.  Kindly quit texting me transvestite videos, thanks. #HIMYM http://ow.ly/g3RQU #dates45&47

@Sick&Twisted Medical professional with head of perfectly crazy curly hair. #brokemyheartonthefirstdate #date46

@Familiar Friends first works for me.  Maybe more later? #fingerscrossed #date48&49

July 27, 2011 Date Eighteen on the Horizon – Thrill & Intimidation

If you’ve been following my journey on Twitter, then you might have caught a little playful flirting with *I’m Kind of a Big Deal the other day.  I’m happy to report that there have been some DMs with some intense filthy undertones (and laughs; this guy is funny).  A date is in the works.

I do have to share: I’m embarrassed that I didn’t really understand the intensity of this local celebrity’s celebrity’ness until I played a little game of google-stalk.  I soon began to move from thrill and excitement to some serious intimidation and quit my research.  Nothing’s worse then “Hey, so you grew up in Timbuktu and your favourite fruit is the sweet tamarind” and them realizing you had to dig for that tidbit in the depths of the web.

I’m hoping this actually pans out.  Should be a great story.

*I’m Kind of a Big Deal – One who is kind of a big deal.

April 13, 2011 What a Girl Wants

Twitter’s @dating26 shares a bunch of articles – most pretty amusing, some educational but most with titles like:

3 Secrets of What Attractive Women Want When Dating Men

Feel free to read the entire article here if you’d like, but I wanted to share the third “secret”; I like it.

3. She wants to surrender…

When a woman goes on a date with you she wants to know you can take charge. That’s why it’s important for you to have a plan. Even though you may think you are being nice, she will be turned off if you ask her where she wants to go on a first date. It’s much better for you to surprise her.

Have a plan, and just let her know what sort of clothing she needs to wear. Her curiosity will turn into anticipation of what will happen when she meets up with you.

It’s such a small thing, but notable nevertheless.  Best if it goes both ways.  I hope I’m not planning all 49 dates!  Surprises make me happy.
