Date 13, Karl

I met Karl when I was at the lake with my best friend for July 4th. I should have known better not to take this kid seriously when he fell off the boat and hit his head on the deck because he was so drunk. We had a lot of fun at the lake, and I was excited to hear from him that next week. We ended up going to Kennedy's for drinks and appetizers and dinner. It was a lot of fun. We had great conversation, and the beer was really good.
So the next weekend we all went out together with a bunch of people. He met my friends, and he ended up being really clingy the whole night. He would poke me and not have anything to talk about. Then he wanted to dance, and I wasn't into it. I wanted to dance with other guys but every time I turned around he was always there to back it up. Ughh leave me alone! He was just a little too out of control. We went outside to get a cab and he would not leave me alone. He ended up grabbing my face and kissing me, and he grabbed my ass. He ended up calling me at 4 am, the next day twice, and texting way too much. Yikes... its always too good to be true.

Ok it's Date 12. Cody the nub.

So this fine ass country boy took me out on a date in NoDa. Cody and I have known each other for about 3 years. We lived next to each other in college. I just never have thought of him in the romantic way. We had a great time, and he had traveled 45 minutes in his loud ass truck to come pick me up. Such a sweet guy.

But, the thing is he is just soooooo country. Which isnt a bad thing but he wears wife beaters and fishes all the time. Fishing is boring. Unless you give me a beer and I catch something in the first 5 minutes im gone. I'll fish for sharks on a boat, as long as its sunny and I can get a tan while waiting for that little fucker.
Anyway, there is one more thing. He has a nub on his ring finger :( . It got cut off by some piece of equipment when he was 8. Poor guy. But I always think about wedding photos if I were to marry him and our hands together with our rings.... it would be a nub and a beautiful hand. Whatever. Thats shallow.

So a couple weeks after that date he invited me to see Dierks Bentley in Boone. I told him I didnt have the funds for that right now, but I would love to. He ended up buying my ticket, driving me up there, and paying for every meal and drink I consumed. What a sweet boy. So i mean I thought that I should sleep with him for payback for all that. Thats fair right? Too bad I blacked out hooking up. It must have been those 15 drinks I had from earlier. So the next weekend he ended up coming here after the bar to sleep here. I drove him back to his home town, and he put $40 worth of gas in my car. What a sweet boy. We got to his house and he leaves me with this parents while he changed!!! I had to start up a conversation with these country folks after I dropped their son off from my house. They were probably thinking I was such a slut. My short shorts and messy hair didn't help either. After that awkward moment we went to a movie and lunch. I had such a great time..... guess we will have to see where this takes us.

He is one of the sweetest guys ive ever met in my life. He would treat me so well and be the best boyfriend.

Date what? like 13 or something? Andrew.

Soooo, ive been pretty busy lately with work and school, but Andrew randomly texted me one day to meet up. I was like you know what? I haven't been on a date in a couple of weeks so lets just do it. So this guy is 28, fellow App Alum as well, and we meet up at this place called Pieces.. this awesome sushi place in uptown Charlotte. I see him and i felt a little underdressed. I wore a flowered flowy shirt, skinny jeans, and flats. He wore designer jeans (rockin republics or some shit), black button down (recently pressed), black boots, and his hair was jelled. Well hello Backstreet boy. ehhhhh

We sat down, had some great conversation, reminisced on the good times in Boone. Yada Yada. The more I talked to him, the more I felt that I would rather go shopping with him on Rodeo Drive in LA rather than go on another date with him. Is he still hiding in the closet? I felt like he might be gay. His voice was very high pitched. Uh oh. Am I wrong? The weird thing was that he texted me later and was like "thank you for going out with me." As if it sounded like I was doing him a favor so that he could tell people he went out with a girl. Poor guy. I felt like a total bitch because when he texted me I was out for Cinco de Mayo... and of course I was drunk so I forgot to text him back.... so 16 hours later I did.... oops :/

David #2... lets just call him the weirdest guy I have ever dated.

One night I asked my friend's boyfriend if he had any tall hott friends. He said yea and that he could bring him to his birthday dinner that following week. So after I looked this guy up on facebook I agreed because he was pretty good looking. So a bunch of us went to Chili's for the birthday dinner, and I saw him and he looked like myyyy type.... you know what that is? Tall. (6'3), flannel shirt, and well, tall. I was kinda nervous though because I was set up on this date, and I didn't really know what to say. So mid-dinner he scoots closer and says "so i heard you facebook stalked me." ummm.... thats the most awkward weirdest comment ever to say to someone you just met. Especially when the whole table of 13 heard it. So i was embarrassed and caught off guard. But anyway, he redeemed himself by our next conversation and ended up getting my number. So the next night we all cooked dinner together like a double date, and it went really well! I was excited. Then a couple nights after that we met up for a drink, and then we went to my friend's house to drink. 

He wouldn't stop talking. Ugh. We ended up sleeping together. We just made out hardcore...im a changed girl now people. But the whole night he wouldn't stop holding me and spooning me. I was like get away! I would push him away and he would come right on back. Plus it didn't help that we were in a not even full-size bed (reminding you I am 5'9 and he is 6'3). ANYWAY, we woke up... awkward as fuck, so I went downstairs to get away from the jolly green giant. We had to get his car because we had driven together to my friend's place, and so we got in the car....Kei$ha comes on the radio. All of a sudden he starts dancing and says i love KeiSha!!! Um I'm hungover and tired as fuck because your leech-ass wouldn't stop groping me. I was so turned off, and to make matters worse randomly he said, "I wanna name my child Cancer so that I could beat Cancer everyday." That wasn't funny. I told him that. I said, "was that a joke?" Uhhhhh get the hell outta my car freak.

So before that night all happened I accidentally agreed to hang out with him that next day. I was excited until that morning when I found out more about him. He picked me up, and when he saw me he literally said, "I'm all clean now and fresh so I'm just going to go for it." THEN LANDED ONE ON ME. I was NOT expecting that at all. Ugh. 

He did open all the doors for me which was sweet, but that's about it. So anyway, we get to the art festival, and it was so awesome with cool vendors, beautiful weather, and unique artists. All of a sudden he goes, oh lets stop by my brother's tent. Um, your brothers? Okayyyyy...... I met his bro which was kinda weird but overall fine. Then we walked a little more, and then I hear him go "Hey Mom!" Yea, I met his mom. I feel bad because she was so sweet, but come on buddy... meeting your mom and brother on the first date without even telling me? Holy Shit Dude. Too much. Too soon. I met you LITERALLY 6 days ago. I would probably meet your mom after 6 Months, not 6 days fool. So  we got a smoothie, and walked around the park which was cute, but I felt that our personalities just didn't click. He kept telling me I was shy and that he wanted to open me up. Motherfucker I am shy at first, but you don't say that to someone first of all, and second of all no one can compare to your weirdass loud mouth self. On the way home he asked if I wanted to hang out more at my place, and I said I had plans with my friend. Lie. I was looking at his music on his Ipod...all I can remember really was Kei$ha, Lady GaGa, and Glee. I said, "you like Glee?" He said, "yea I fucking love Glee!" I said, "So you like jamm out to it and dance and sing to it in the car? He said, "oh yea all the time." I said in my head, "get me the fuck out of here." (by the way I hate glee and think it's weird as fuck).

He updates his status every second. And tagged me in wall posts, comments on my statuses, and just is way too much for me. He even said that his extra Miller Lt. cans were extra calories and wanted to get rid of them (inside I was screaming I want them!!) AND he talked about my frozen mango margarita how there is so much sugar and calories. I wanted to splash his gin & tonic in his face. Obviously I do not care about how many calories or sugar is in this amazing margarita. I want it so shut up. 

I like to drink, lay out, and drink at the beach. He likes to dig 7 foot holes as I found out. I'm not into that, and if we were at the beach and he did that, I would push him in and tell him to stay there until I finished my margarita. 

Pub Crawl

Hellllooooooo, calling all match dates! Meet me at the corner of Tyron and College St. I saw 4 Match people. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. I saw Adam, saw Clint, saw Steve (douche), this other guy I forgot to email back, and this kid Brian (who is so desperate) was trying to meet up. I'm sorry but what do you NOT get about someone not responding to your text messages and not wanting to meet you. Last wednesday Brian texted me "hey". I didn't respond. Then he said "Hey what are you up to tonight?" I didn't respond. Then he said "Wanna go to a Bobcats game?" I didn't respond. I know that is mean but his name freaks me out because it was my ex's name. So that night of the Pub Crawl he texted me "Hey what are you doing." AFTER I HAD NOT RESPONDED 3 past times. I said "Pub Crawl." He said "Want to me up?" I didn't respond.

Oh by the way, when I saw that dumbass Steve, he was wearing like umbro pants. ew. Then he was on the phone and was like hey and like walked away as if he was on an important phone call. I was so glad he walked away from me, and later that night he texted me "Hey sorry I walked away from you, I had to meet my buddy, how was your night?" I didn't respond. I hope he doesn't contact me again.

Date 9 Wade

So the other night I went to meet this kid at Coco Osteria, a really nice Italian restaurant in uptown. I sipped on some pino noir as I waited for this guy to park, and when he met me he looked shy. We sat down and he didn't take his coat off for about 15 minutes (weird). So I could tell he was a little shy, I mostly did the talking because I am a professional 1st dater. So this guy knows like all of my friends who went to UNCW. He seems like the shy guy who didn't talk much but secretly knew who everyone was. Hmm, so at the end of dinner we had the bill. He gave his card to the server, and he came back to tell him his card was declined. Uhhhhhhhh. So he tried another card, declined. Uhhhhhhhh. So this guy went to the atm and apparently there was a security block on his card so he couldn't get any money out. Uhhhhhhhhh WHAT? So luckily, he had $20 in cash. Oh fuck, really...really? so I paid the rest ($30 something).  But seriously, I mean I felt kinda bad BUT you freaking asked me out on this date and I have to pay? I wouldn't have ordered all those drinks!!! Ugh so I was turned off by it even though I kinda felt bad. I mean not really. Dude if you are going on a date, you need to be prepared. He asked if he could see me again, and I was like yea of course (a part of me was thinking "yea you can take me out until we are even bucko"). Overall the date was good though... I felt bad for the guy....

Date 8 David # 2 (SWD)

Actually this was more like a "lets meet up and get wasted" date. This was sort of random but I met this hottie at Mooseheads Pub. Of course he looked better in his pictures but he was still very good looking. So he was with his 38 year old married friend. Wtf? Anyway, they started buying me drinks and shots and we had a great time. The rest of the night started to turn blurry, and we accidently got dumb and drunk. We ended up making out. Thats all I can remember. But the dude is interviewing in Florida, and he is getting the job. So he is sketch, and I think he just wants a hook up. Sorry man, I ain't like that no more!

Date 7- Clint (Date 2)

Last weekend Clint texted me "Hey babe how was your weekend, I wanna see you this week." Ok. I do NOT like the nickname "babe." It reminds me of the cute little pig in that movie Babe. So when a guy calls me that I'm like what I'm a pig? But anyway, he wanted to get together, and I was thinking you know maybe we should try this out again. So he picked me up in his nice loaded jeep grande cherokee. We went to this awesome Tapas Lounge/Sushi Bar called Soul. This place was cool. All the servers has tattoo sleeves. Anyway, we ordered some delicious food including fried goat cheese bruschetta and lamb lollipops. The whole time during the date though all I thought about was how bad I wanted to watch the new episode of the Bachelor I was missing. Is that bad? So after we finished dinner he asked if I wanted to go to a local bar and as the nice person I am, I was like whatever is fine. Ugh. We went to this bar, and I just wanted to go home and watch the bachelor. I had this whole idea in my head of how I'm gonna make him NOT like me anymore so it would be easier to let go so I wouldnt have to break it to him and tell him I just want to be friends. So I pulled out the "psycho" girl in me and talked about my ex's, relationships, my future, how I'm scared to get into a relationship, how I'm slow at starting a relationship, blah blah blah. Well that shit backfired and it made him like me even more. COME ON now, really? He was like "yeah I feel the same way" and I'm like "fuck, you do?" He did get some points though when he said I had this sexy quiet confidence. Hmm...good one buddy. He is a great guy and fun to hang out with, but when I think about kissing him and being romantic... I dont have that attraction toward him. That's a problem. :(

Date 6 Tom

So I woke up last Sunday at 12:20 pm.... my date was at 1 pm for lunch. I felt like a train had run over me because I was so freaking hung over from the night before. Ugh whenever I start the night out by saying " I want to get black out belligerent drunk" it never goes well. So after I got over the fact that I ate a whole box of macaroni and cheese last night at 3 am I pulled myself out of bed to get ready. I couldn't find ANYTHING to wear so I just wore what I had on from the night before...what a dirty whorebag. So I met this Jolly Green Giant at Loco Lime (He was 6'5 dayyyummm thats what I'm talkin about!). Right as we were getting a table he starts talking about how his friend played a joke on him and put his number on craigslist for an ad about a goat farm. So he had like 15 voicemails this morning. Whoopiedoo 31 year old. Anyway, I felt like shit so I wasnt myself, but I pushed through the date. We both worked at Outback hah, annnnd he travels Monday-Friday. Thats really all I can remember. I think I was still drunk on that date. So he was cool and all, but I'm like uhhhhh when would I EVER see you? Also, he was like "yea all the girls I know that turn 28-29 start turning crazy and want to get married and shit; I'm in no rush"... and I'm thinking uhhh ya because they may want to start a life and a family. On the other hand, you are 31 and single. Are you waiting for retirement in order to get married?

Date 5 Clint

Well this was a refreshing date. This guy wrote great professional emails so I thought it would be cool to meet up. He was a great guy, good conversation, and um amazing food! We went to this really nice place called 15 North. To be honest though I was kind of more into the butternut squash casserole than him. I really liked how he is into his job, but when I thought about the date in all I thought I had met a good friend. Gosh I felt so bad for this guy. He was so nice and intelligent.. but WHY dont I like him? Hmm...maybe a 2nd date will change my mind?

Date 4 Steve

Ok so I probably should have listened to my "red flag" when in his email he sent me he said geez thought you forgot about me ;) when I didnt respond for like 2 days. Can you say stage five clinger? I met this guy at Nikkos Sushi which is a very nice bar/sushi restuarant in uptown. I got there and he was good looking, tall, seemed like a nice guy. We sat down and right then was like a button for this guy to not stop talking. We ordered some cool sushi rolls and he talked about his job, his old jobs, his hometown, his family, his job, his friends, his weekend, his job, his plans, him him him him. Geez... i could barely get a word in! And when I did he would cut me off and start talking about himself again. Plus he had a bad mouth and threw the f-bomb a lot which didnt impress me... andhes a little pussy drinkin Riesling White Wine and vodka cranberries...ummm I dont think so!!! That was a turn off. He just talked about himself and told stories and shit about fighting. So i chowed down on some fuckin awesome sushi and drank more. I got drunk. 

Date 3 David

We went to brunch on sunday...he was short and he was waayyyy too serious. Geez getting a laugh outta that guy was like pulling teeth. We had some pretty good conversation only because I was asking the questions, but I think he was expecting something different. We left and he said it was nice meeting you.Wont see him again. Thanks for the french toast ass.

Date 2 Bronsyn

We had a lot of fun...went to the Bobcats/Heat game and drinks at Connellys (which was pitch black by the way so I could barely see this kid). He was like 20 minutes late meeting me (strike 1) because of traffic and the rain so I enjoyed a stella by myself...geez. We met and then went to the game. We were like 15 rows back which was a plus for him because those seats cost like 75 dollars but a strike (2) for him because he kept bitching about how expensive they were. So we small-talked and joked, etc (one of our conversations was about reefer (not every one smokes from App State dude))and then all of a sudden I turn around and about 5 rows up I see these deuches with long hair cheesin. They were his best friends...so I kinda weirded out but thankful because they ended up giving us a ride home. Prob wont see him again though. Hes all about smoking weed and partying and has weird friends. He called me that night at 2 am and said "Yo Allison, I'm here with a case of beer and I'm in a taxi, what should i do?" AHAHAHAH i was like uhhhh im going to bed.

Date 1 Adam

Hellooooo Adam...hott hot hotttieee from up North. reaaaaallly good looking, 6'3 tall dark handsome, successful works at Bank of America.... was so nervous when I met this guy. I walked into this really nice restaurant that was packed with professional young adults. I felt like everyone knew I was on match.com meeting this kid for the first time. I knew exactly who he was, and he greeted me with a big smile. Oddly he reminded me of my cousin Bill because he just acted like him and had a lot of energy. So anyway we hit it off and talked non-stop for 2 hours about everything over wine and calamarie and zucchini chips...yum. Overall he seemed like a great person that I would like to see again. But...there is always a but right allison? Ugh he texts so weird like statements about nothing. I'm not a good texter anyway (you can ask all my roommates and friends because I never know what to say back because I'll sound like a weirdo) but I just never know what to say back to him. He's kinda sketch but my favorite.

Preview

So I am 23, single, and I am in the whole figuring out life stage. I recently joined match.com (heavily influenced by my roommate lindsay and friend hannah). I was like hmm lets see what this is all about. So I created a profile while feeling kinda weird about the whole thing, but once all the winks and emails came I was like huh I like this thing.So here I go, connecting with all the guys, and I'm going to start dating them. Or just going on a date to see what these guys are like. So here I go....
