blind_otter Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 On saturday I was set up with my bestfriend's new girlfriend's friend. Hahahaha, that sounds complicated. I am a sucker for men in uniform. We were smoking a joint when he showed up at my friend's house and he seemed very turned off. Turns out he is in the military, in the submarine service, so of course he doesn't do drugs and seemed very in control of himself. We went to two different bars, the first one was a restaurant/bar, so we could get snacks with our beverages, the second bar was actually a club but they were within walking distance....which turned out to be bad for me because after about 2-3 drinks I had coordination problems and I was stumbling a lot. I could still dance, I just couldn't walk in a straight line....how does that work? Well, long story short (hahaha, leaving out details, in other words), I was really drunk, we went to another friends house after the bars closed, I had a partial meltdown because someone suggested we get coke, which I am REALLY trying not to do and I just had a flat out hissy fit about it, so we went home and the guy I was set up with ended up driving me home, and he made a fire in the fireplace for me and we snuggled in front of it and actually talked while I sobered up. He said he liked me better not all f*cked up. We hung out the next night (he helped a friend work all day) and I was actually sober, and it was even nicer. He is a super super super sweet guy and now I have a huge crush. Luckily he lives about 2 hours away from me so I won't go into crush overdrive and I only get to see him a few weekends a month. But he's so cute. and he doesn't do drugs and he was so so so sweet and he tickled my back for me and I fell asleep with my head on his lap while we were watching a movie last night I missed that it was so nice to snuggle with a good cuddler. Wow, he is so dreamy. I am such a dork. I'm 25 years old and I sound like I'm 16. hahaha

Hahaha, that's the way it always works. Sad thing is, you probably THOUGHT you could dance. BO, this sounds great!!!! A man that isn't into the drug scene?! You need someone like that in your life! Congrats on the 'land'. I hope it all works out for you. Take it slow, don't give out the poon-tang too soon and keep that head on straight. This is awesome!
IhavenoFREAKINclue Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 That's is absolutely wonderful BO!!!!!!! Thats great that you moved on and don't worry about your psycho ex! I met a soldier and we are dating as well. They are the most respectful people. True gentlemen. I happy that you found out that not all guys are like your ex! When i met my guy.......i was high as hell and b/c he cant smoke or anything.....he got turned off! O'well.......don't hate.......congratulate!!!!
savethedrama4allama Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Hooray! If you're trying to stop drugs, a clean & sober man is a really big help...it was the case with my boyfriend and I (but the other way around). Since I don't do them, it was that much easier for him to stay out of it. I'm happy for ya BO
Author blind_otter Posted January 24, 2005 Author Posted January 24, 2005 hahaha, I know I want to get to the point where I'm not smoking every day, like I started to do recently during this whole restraining order ordeal.... But he said that if I was into anything besides pot that he wasn't interested, which is totally understandable....I need people to hang out with who don't randomly suggest hard drugs when I am all drunk and susceptible. On edit: I told him I eventually want to stop everything (cause I want to have a family one day, in the next 5-6 years or so) and he said, well, baby steps, just try staying clean from everything else and work on the pot later on....that was nice, too. Sigh he was so cool I kinda wish he did live closer to me, but I tend to get all girly and teenagerish when I have a crush on someone.....blah.....

alphamale Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Originally posted by blind_otter <---- otter has been walking around with this face all damn weekend. "Dreamy" is how Judy Jetson used to describe her new squeezes on that cartoon "the jetsons" Oh yeah, and it was used by girl on "Leave it to Beaver" to describe Wally.
Author blind_otter Posted January 24, 2005 Author Posted January 24, 2005 hee hee, I know. I am just being ultra cheesy and dorky. Like when he and I hung out sunday night we were making his friend gag because he was feeding me from his plate. hee hee. I am such a dork and I love it!!! Ummmm....well, we did fool around and I found out that he has a piercing in a VERY interesting place. Intriguing. Slightly freaky.
7on Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Well, my parents met on a blind date and they've been married for 21 years.
CurlyIam Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Sponge BOB!!! My bf bought me a sponge Bob baloon once, at a fair. I was the center of envy of all kids! BO, I feel for you, hon! My bf lives 2 hours away also an in a way, it's what saved us. I'm also quite mushy mushy when I have a crush on a guy, so not seeing him much did help me keep my act together in front of the world!
Merin Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Yay for you girlfriend! A good guy who isn't doing drugs... sounds like he could be a "keeper"
whichwayisup Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 That's great!!! Good to hear some GOOD dates do turn out well once in a while... I wonder if he has that silly goofy smile on his face too! But it IS Cute!! Enjoy and have fun!!
Author blind_otter Posted January 25, 2005 Author Posted January 25, 2005 hee hee hee heee First of all I got my restraining order continued indefinately today (thank you! Thank you! Yessssssssssssssssssssss!) He tried to argue because his new girlfriend goes to school here and "he picks her up and drops her off" - the judge said, well find a new place off campus to drop her off. You have no reason to be on that university campus. HAH. Plus, last night navyboy called me and we were on the phone for 3 hours! Woah now. I don't have that much to say to anyone. It sucks though in August he's leaving for a 3 year tour of duty. Well I am not ready for anything too serious anyways, but it is nice to associate with a good person who is actually into me and thinks I am "absolutely sexy and amazing to talk to"
Author blind_otter Posted January 26, 2005 Author Posted January 26, 2005 As usual, navyboy is jealous of my friend T....the one who I occassionally hook up with when I'm single. Which I guess is understandeable, but when I'm really into someone, T and I are just friends. Besides, T has just fallen in love with some canadian woman and he actually talks about marrying her, which is strange because I've NEVER heard him say that about anyone!! I'm happy for him, we always seem to get into relationships at the same time, so we gush to each other about our new crushes. What a weird relationship. Regardless, navyboy is coming to visit me this weekend. Talked for 3 hours yet again. Actually it was more than that, we talked way into the night until I was in bed and I actually fell asleep on the phone! Hahaha. He told me to go to sleep and called me this morning right before I went to work. Wow, he seems like he's really into me. It must be too good to be true but like the addict I am I just eat it up. I was so sure I was going to play the field for a while but to be honest I like this guy so much I don't WANT to really be dating anyone else. So because all the guys I've been talking to have been extreeeemely casual, I just sorta let the connection die. I mean, it's not like there's anything wrong with them or that I'm not attracted, but my attention is entirely taken up with this new guy. It's bizarre, attraction is....all of a sudden there's just this ONE particular guy that seems absolutely perfect.....
CurlyIam Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Yeah, that's weird.... Some people have invented a word for it, I think. Let me remember... it could start with "[color=red]L[/color]", you know ?
Author blind_otter Posted January 26, 2005 Author Posted January 26, 2005 sigh, 2 more days and I can see him again. he's so [color=red]DREAMY[/color]. hahahaha
CurlyIam Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 What was that word again...? [color=red]L[/color].... l.... Damn, I just can't spell it!
Author blind_otter Posted January 28, 2005 Author Posted January 28, 2005 I'm so excited I get to see him tonight! He has some physical training test or something today so we aren't going out tonight. I was going to make him dinner but I think I'll drag his ass out to dinner instead, because my Mom is making a standing rib roast tomorrow night so we can eat at my parent's house tomorrow. We have talked on the phone every night and lately he's taken to calling in the morning when he gets to his office on the base, just to make sure I am awake (because Monday I was late for work and got yelled at even though I worked through lunch every single day last week!!!!). This morning he was so sweet, he was excited about seeing me tonight, I am too. Even though my house is still mostly a mess. I was trying to do laundry last night and then T came over and requisitioned my washing machine. There was bribery involved, he brought me a gyro platter from my favorite greek restaurant so I let him do one load of laundry and that was the load that overloaded my circuit breaker. Of course the fact that I kept stopping to smoke pot probably didn't help my progress. I am such a procrastinator! I really really really like this guy.
