Major With the Bad Behaviour

Copypasted from a message to Gorgeous. As always, ignore the lack of apostrophes and correct capitalization:
SO- is it breaking or making the rules of feminism if the following happens:

i heard that [online guy] went out w another girl last week. but we had already made plans for him to cook me dinner and then do me on friday. i wasnt sure what to do and couldnt come up with an excuse for him to NOT come over (free dinner...what can i say).
basically i decided that i'd make up my mind about "dessert" if dinner was good. it was pretty good, so i figured i'd at very least see how he was. he wasn't very good. since he's "not used to condoms" he was all bitchy about it...whatever.

on saturday i went to the library to go online. i was spitefully clicking around on my dating site when a guy sent me an im. we chatted for at least an hour and when i was getting ready to leave he asked me what i was doing that night. i was free and figured, once again, "free dinner!"
as it turns out, it was the best date ive ever been on. he's hilarious, he was in the army, and he's sexy in the kinda way that i think he's sexy but not a lot of people would, so he's like special sexy just for me...if that makes any sense. he's the one who told me about the slutcracker, and he miiiiiight be thinking about taking me to see it. he suggested we go see it and i jumped on it so i hope he wasnt trying to make a joke, haha.

SO YEAH. [online shmuck] can be free to date all the 20 year old undergrads he wants. i like this new one muuuccchh more. [End of message]

As always, I took a tumble. But for a change, I recovered nicely by landing in something completely unexpected and just nice. It was hands down the best date I've been on, and not just because he took me to a BBQ-and-Wings joint for dinner. Awesome wings. Real nice. Juicy but still crispy, great sauce...I mean, yeah. A great date; he had me laughing the whole time and gave me his coat when I was cold on the post-dinner walk.
I think if this new[er] guy starts dating someone he meets while hanging out with me, I think I'm just going to give up forever.
Incidentally, the reason I don't have a "melodrama" label is because it would get used in every single thing I post.

I have a few more reviews for y'all:
November DVD Reviews, pt 2-
-Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist: Cute. It was less teen-movie than I thought it would be. It had the most realistically acted drunk sidekick out of any movie I’ve seen in recent memory. 3/5

-Everybody Wants to be Italian: Nice little not-mainstream rom-com. Pretty obvious plot and jokes, but I didn’t hate it. 3/5

-Little Britain Series 2 and 3: The only thing I don’t like about Little Britain is that I know none of my friends have seen it, and therefore I can’t quote it. 4/5

-The Full Monty: The scene where the guys watch Flashdance cracked me up. Other than that, there wasn’t as much man dancing as I had hoped. 2/5

November Book Reviews, pt 2- [There's only one because I'm about halfway through 3 other books right now and can't seem to finish any of them!]
The Stupidest Angel. Christopher Moore: For a book that had a “Holiday” genre sticker on the spine, there wasn’t a whole lot in here that dealt with holidays. The titular Stupidest Angel is only a minor character, and the whole Christmas Story subplot. However, it climaxes fast and hard [HA!] and makes it more than makes it worth the couple hours it’ll take you to read. 5/10

I have plans to see the new[er] guy on Sunday. Before that, though, I have to deal with waking up for a 6:45 am staff meeting tomorrow [even though I don't have to be in at work until noon], a half day on Wednesday, Thanksgiving at my Aunt's house, post-Thanksgiving traffic on Friday, and a baby shower that I haven't yet gotten a gift for on Saturday.

That's the world from here. What do you guys think?

The giving up the coat thing is a nice touch. Take it slow. If he keeps you laughing, he might be worth doing it right. Then again, what the hell do I know. My dating life is a mess.

The Stupidest Angel is one of my faaavorite books! It's the one that made me read way more of his books - Lamb was just as awesome.

(Whoa, totally had a book nerd moment here!)

fun dates are... FUN! Glad you had a good time!!

Mr O said...

I enjoy your dating stories. They give me faith that the world will be a fun place when I decide to put myself out there.

Good luck with this new guy. And Nick and Norah is one of my favorites. And hopefully you recognized "Our Swords" in there.

dr ken: being able to make me laugh is way more important than most other personality traits, so i'm way excited to see what happens here. here's hoping we both get our shit together soon!

carrie oakie: he is a great author. it's hard to find books for grown ups that are as funny as his :)

ang: :)

mr o: i DID notice 'our swords', haha!

Having read this post and the most recent one, I gotta say, I think it's about high time you dump the old internet guy like a hot potato. He just doesn't sound like he's any good, not for you.
