What if?

So, as I get closer to the day I may go under contract for this new house, the more real it seems. Along with the reality of it, comes many questions and fears. Hearing stories of friends struggling with illness, suffering and other events, your imagination can go crazy.

What if I lose my job?
What if I get really sick?
What if I need to take care of family?
And, Last but not least, What if I meet Mr. right?

Well folks, I can ensure that the last concern is not going to be an issue any time soon. Based on this weeks events alone, he seems to be far far away at best.

My folks always ask if I have any "suspects" as they like to call them. This week, their terminology is DEAD ON.

I admit, I do online dating. (Laugh if you must, but its more the norm these days than not) And, between folks I know and my own, we can write several books on true stories.

So, this week I was on one of the site, and within 24 hours had 2 GEMS!

1. Opening email from the guy:
"have you ever considered a sugardaddy relationship before"?
- thinking he was joking, I thought I would play along and said " yes, exclusively."
- clearly I was wrong. After a few emails of clarification , it was confirmed, this is what he wanted. I told him he should move on.


2. Guy number 2- less than 24 hours after #1. We start emailing, fun , witty, good chatting back and forth. So, as a basic get to know you question, I ask what he does for a living. He says he interviews actresses for adult films. I replied- "you are full of crap! He then corrected me and said he was serious- I again called him out, as clearly this was a joke.

Nope, its true. This is his job for 3 years out of LA. The end.

3. Get a random text from a number I don't know that says. " do you want to come over tonight?" I asked who it was-and it was a guy I dated a few years ago. Super nice and gentlemanly guy. Had a great time with him. It didn't work out due to big faith differences. But still, nice guy.

Apparently he still has a thing for me and wanted to see me. I offered to meet him as I would be in his part of town that night. He sends me his address as if i were to come to his place. I say, no lets meet some where nearby.

Then, in his honesty he tells me he does not have a car, and is between jobs and has been taking the bus to go to the texas workforce commission. Bless his heart for swallowing his pride and telling me all that.


So, folks this is just the tip of the iceberg as to what kind of options we single ladies have here in the year of 2011.

Please know I am not playing the sad card AT ALL. I am so blessed to be where I am in life, but feel that I cannot keep these hilarious stories to myself!!
