At The (Almost) 50 Yard Line

I went out with Bachelor #14 last Wednesday night. No surprise we went to a Mexican restaurant since chimichangas apparently enhance male testosterone levels or something. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 100 times: Gringos love Mexican restaurantes. (I’m short on ideas here so look at this picture.)


Anyway, B#14 & I had been e-mailing for a week or two. He's a defense attorney who grew up in Brooklyn, NY (so had a nice little accent). He also had a good sense of humor and was a really nice guy. He didn't get inappropriate at all during our e-mail exchanges which was nice. It's kind of sad when something fairly Captain Obvious becomes a plus.

We met in person and the conversation flowed really well. We had a lot to talk about and had some things in common. For instance, we were both kicked out of one of our high schools. Now, if that's not something to bond over, I don't know what is. Another plus was that he seemed interested in the things I was talking about, he asked me questions and actually listened to the answers. All good things. (More Captain Obvious.)


Again, a really nice date and an overall good experience. I told him that, with Christmas coming and me not having started shopping yet, the next few days would be really busy for me and I would probably be MIA. But that didn’t stop him from emailing me 13 TIMES over the next couple of days. I only responded to maybe the second or third e-mail but he just kept them coming. Holy crap. Good thing we never exchanged numbers because I can only imagine what the text situation would be like if I've gotten this many e-mails.

As nice as our date was, I didn't feel a dating connection with him so this is one that I will not be pursuing. Of course, the excessive e-mails clinched that. Also, I am taking that little break from dating. Well, with one exception. I had my first set-up yesterday. My cousin & her mom think they've got a great guy for me. I'll be the judge of that! Which works nicely because I'm super judgmental. I’ll be posting about that one soon.
