Oops! Sorry! Quick update......

Yes, I know I haven't blogged in, umm, a while..... Here's a quick post just to get up to speed. I did meet the guy I mentioned in the last blog. We met on a Wednesday night at the mall. He arrived late (called and let me know at least) and I was very happy when I saw him that he was actually better looking in person than in his pictures! He was the definition of tall, dark and handsome!! Gave me a nice hug hello and then picked the place to eat without asking my opinion! Sushi it was! We sit at the sushi bar where the food comes around on a rotating conveyor belt..... in the mall..... I'm a little iffy about it! He says we can order off the menu and if there is something coming around that I want to try, grab it! So we start to talk, blah blah blah, I feel like I am being interviewed! He was very confident and had no problem asking me pretty much about anything and everything! We order a few things off the menu and then he picks a few things off the conveyor. I ask what he has and he tells me it's a Mexican roll. I want to try it and I tell him this. He actually MOVES his plate over so I can't reach it and tells me to grab a pink plate off the conveyor as it goes by..... NO WAY!! He is not going to share!!! I am not happy about this at all as I am the type of person who loves to pick off of someone's plate and always happy to offer to share mine! So we eat a little, talk a lot, head out. He is separated, not divorced. He has 3 young children. He is the youngest of 13 (maybe that's why he can't share?) He walks me to my car and gives me a hug and a nice kiss goodnight. He asks if I'd like to see him again and I say sure. I leave, he leaves. He sends me an email next day saying he had a good time and to call him when I get back from vaca so he can take me out again. I am home. I have not called.......

I have date 4 already scheduled with Golf and we meet at a place close to my house. It is the first night of Passover and my kids are celebrating with their dad and family. We sit down and almost immediately he starts to bitch about how his son and ex wife are at her new "jew boyfriend's" house eating "jew food". I don't even try to hide my annoyance at his comments this time around. I call him out on it. He is very defensive and doesn't try to cover up the fact that he is really pissed that his 5 year old son is at Passover dinner. I try to play devil's advocate and tell him it's just dinner for God sake!! I mention, yet again, that my children are the product of a Jewish father and are at their own celebration as we speak. He says that's fine because they have a Jewish parent and it's not fine for his son because he does not. He goes on and on about how he is the only one that is supposed to teach his son about religion and not some Jew boyfriend of his ex wife. I decide he is a jerk and try to move on from the conversation in a last ditch effort to enjoy dinner. He moves on to politics. He is now carrying on about how he could have ended the pirate hostage thing in 1 day and our president doesn't know what he's doing, etc...... I am dumbfounded. He knows I disagree with him on his political views, and religious views, and he asks me if this is the last time he will see me. I tell him that we shouldn't discuss religion or politics and just have a nice dinner. He continues now to ask me over and over if I was going to see him again! Dinner is on the table and I'm hungry. I really want to eat it. I do not want to get up and leave before I can but I am feeling the urge to excuse myself and never come back! I tell him that our differences might be a deal breaker. He says he knew it. I eat fast!!! He pays the bill and we go out to the parking lot. He says he knows this is the last time he is going to see me but if I want to go to a Yankee game with him when I get back he will gladly take me (nice way to try to bribe me!!) We say our goodbyes and I am happy to be on my way! During the week I was away he sends me a few text messages. I ignore them all. When I got back I sent him an email saying that it was very nice to have met him but that I think our differences of opinion are great enough and that we are probably not a good match. Good luck, take care! 2 days later he sends me almost the same email! He is playing it off like he did not read mine and this is all his idea. Normally I wouldn't care and just be relieved it is done! BUT for some reason this pissed me off! No way dude! it was ME saying this to YOU! I send him back an email saying that it was funny how much his sounded like the one I sent and perhaps he didn't get it? He answers that he was in AC for the weekend and didn't get it (yeah, okay) and that at least we agree on 1 thing....... HAHAHAHA!!! I let him have the last word.....

2 more dates to go..... will post more later!
