make me a match?...


Oh my Sweets, I feel horrible that it’s been nearly a month since my last post. I’ll admit I was totally frazzled pre vacay, and came home to a whirl wind of things to catch up on.  So, as promised the Match Make #2 & #3


# 2

This set up came from my very close and very sweet BFF who is also a boy (you’ll hear about him later). He is my bestie, everything that happens he knows about. So when he introduced me to a friend of his, I knew he had thought about it thoroughly.

The boy I was introduced too was very intelligent, funny and adventurous… what more can a girl ask for?!

Match #2 actually made it to two dates! The first was just a drink and some time getting to know each other. Actual conversation was something refreshing!

Our second date was very cute. Something he planned all on his own!  We went to the space and science centre, and took in some of the exhibits they had on show. It was the sports exhibit, so some friendly competition happened and that was fun to see. After that we went for supper to a unique Cajun restaurant that I had never heard of so I was super excited. The place had live music and amazing atmosphere – definitely somewhere I’ll be heading on a girls night!

From the outside, it looked like an amazing date. There was lots of conversation and fun. But on the inside, my mind was still thinking about Match # 1 and the chemistry that there was with him….

So, part of me felt bad for even being on the date in the first place, but the other single part of me was glad I got out there and tried again. The date was perfect. He was a real catch; someone that could have easily given me everything a girl had ever wanted… the big house, fancy lifestyle and picture perfect life. But lets me real for a second, liking someone just for what they can give you gets old and dull.  I’m a girl with substance and dimension. I needed chemistry, and there just wasn’t any on this match date.

My Bestie, didn’t even seem to care it didn’t work out… probably because he knows me so well, and knew that if I wasn’t sure of it now I never would be… he also hasn’t attempted to set me up again, likely because he doesn’t have any other single “quality” friends left. – Proof that quality men are hard to find!


Now Match # 3

This one is one for people to really laugh at… because it was an attempt by the mother.  Now, this lady is strong, intelligent, and generally doesn’t hold back what she’s thinking. – sound like anyone in particular??  Ya, I know…

So when this lady proceeded to ask me if the two little boys in the picture on my desk were mine, I replied yes they are… my nephews mean more to me than anything else in the world! So they are MINE, and always will be!!  I explained to her, they were mine, but not at the same time. She then proceeded to inquire about my personal life (this seems to be a common thing when you reach my age and don’t have anything visibly wrong with you, people begin to wonder…) and when she heard the answer she wanted she proclaimed… “Wonderful I have a blue eyed, brown haired son and you would just look fabulous on his arm!” – laugh because this was in fact a true statement!

After that it went to a facebook search, to where she was indeed correct he was very handsome. So I thought why the heck not… nothing to lose.

Being the girl I am, I’m pretty selective on who can see me on facebook, so his attempt to do that facebook creep failed. He then Googled me… yes that’s right he Googled me.

Your reaction to this, likely the same as mine…

His search resulted in him finding my twitter account, to which he then began to follow. Once I saw this I followed back, and the Direct Messages started.  Numbers were exchanged, but we never met up.

He was witty, and definitely sparked my interest, but it didn’t amount to anything – he still follows my account which I find funny.

So there you have it, my very first twitter chase/creep – first time for everything. And as my friends would say, “That stuff only happens to you, you should write a book” instead I’m blogging about it!


So sorry for the delay in post my Sweets.

I’m working on the impromptu date blog from before my vacay, so you’ll get a double feature this week!

Enjoy your weekend my Sweets
