OLB doesn’t take hints

Text from OLB (3/17 4:51PM) Thinkin bout you….

The other bitches

The Ex is still not really talking to me. I saw him this weekend, when we exchanged some things (he gave me some paperwork and I gave him my key to the loft). He’s going through some shit right now, and I don’t take it personally.

Dr. Jones is also not talking to me. Fuck that guy.

OLB hasn’t popped back up since I ignored his last “goodmorning beautiful xoxo”. Good riddance to him and his freakish full-body stubble.

Mr. Grownup Date is working as much as I am, and we’ve had a hard time coordinating with one another. Now I’m dreading telling him that I don’t want to see him after all.

There’s also some other dude from matchdotcom that’s been emailing me lately, but he seems like kind of a douche. Still not looking forward to telling him to fuck off. He asked if I wanted to get together for a drink, and I haven’t responded.

Ex’s effeminate friend and I were supposed to get together for drinks last week, but I was sick and neither of us emailed or called the other to cancel. He ignores me on forums like Twitter, Facebook, and his blog, but emails intimately- I’m annoyed at this game.

Unusually Tall Indian Guy made a mix CD for me and hinted that he’d like to go out on a date with me, but didn’t actually ask. He also said that I seem tense lately, which caused me to worry for a bit about whether or not I actually am tense, until I recognized the irony of the situation.

Saw Satanist Waiter out with LBHF. It was less awkward than I thought it might be, though it was still a little awkward. He smirked at us.

AFF Waiter texted a couple of weeks ago to solicit me for a FMF threesome. I didn’t respond and haven’t heard back from him.

Abrasive Dude With Whom I Once Worked has been Facebook-messaging me in the middle of the night in attempts to get me to go drink with him. He’s pretty attractive and I’d probably be interested if my attentions weren’t otherwise occupied. A little sad about this one, but I’d feel guilty if I pursued it, I think.

No one else comes to mind- I think this is the full rundown.

Ah, hell.

So, let’s pick up where we left off.

After deleting my profile at AFF, I signed up for a trial account at Match.com. So far I have had one date with someone from Match. I will post about it later, and will bring back the ever-popular points system when I do so.

OLB still texts every other day or so.

Text from OLB (02/11 9:17AM) Ur bailing on me was weird ya know. I was diggin ya.
Text from OLB (02/14 12:15PM) Happy valentines day beautiful xoxo
Text from OLB (02/15 9:09PM) Come play this wknd with my new friend and i?

At some point, his persistence is going to be less flattering than annoying and I’ll tell him to fuck right off, but I’m kinda tired of burning bridges just now.

Had a good time out with Beercan on Friday night, but the follow-up activities were reliably disappointing, as usual, and on Saturday when we went out for brunch before I took him home there was absolutely nothing to talk about. I did have a delicious steak, though, so it wasn’t a total loss.

I stayed in for the rest of VDay. G came over to watch some HD deliciousness, and I napped a lot. It was truthfully one of the least awful Valentine’s Days that I’ve had in years.

There are new and attractive prospects these days, so I’m sure I’ll have more to write soon. Sorry for leaving hanging those of you that have missed living vicariously through my sordid saga. I’ve been a very naughty girl, and I need to be punished.

I’m onto you, bub

Txt from OLB (02/02/2009 8:05AM) Goodmorning beautiful!! xoxo

Hmm!

I just realized that every single “Goodmorning beautiful!! xoxo” text message from OLB has been misspelled and double-punctuated in exactly the same way.

I think he actually has that phrase saved in his cell phone and suspect that he mass-texts it to several people a couple of times a week.

Paranoid?

Juxtaposition

The conversations related here are transcribed from texts.

(01/30 6:39AM) OLB: Goodmorning beautiful!! xoxo
(01/30 11:31AM) Anterior Motive: It amazes me that you are even a morning person when your morning starts that early.
(01/30 11:50AM) OLB: It amzes me that i cant get u to come play so that i can smack your ass and choke you while you suck my cock….. ;-)
xoxox still bummed…..

I know that I probably shouldn’t have encouraged him in the first place, as it’s best to make a clean break in such situations. I must confess that I didn’t do so partially because I thought that I might later regret having burned this particular bridge, but now I see that remaining friendly is just not an option. Plus, if you recall, he has an EXTREMELY stupid face.

However, I’d also been texting with Dr. Jones at about the same time, and was struck by the differences between them. He’s currently in Pittsburgh, attending the funeral of a family member of his girlfriend. He’d been texting me to complain about the ice and snow on the roads and how miserable the drive had been, when a coworker who was in the same meeting as I was at the time piped up to mention that Dr. Jones was in Pittsburgh for a funeral and that it was really snowy and icy there. I was amused.

(01/30 11:21AM) Anterior Motive: Are you sending the same txts to me and [coworker] again? ;) thought i was special.
(01/30 11:47AM) Dr Jones: A similar one about the snow, but not the same.
(01/30 11:49AM) Anterior Motive: Just teasing you.
(01/30 11:55AM) Dr Jones: But you are special.

I sighed.

I’m confident in the assertion that I’m pretty tired of being a hoebag party-girl. I removed my profile from AFF last week, and I just feel disgusted at the idea of random NSA raunchy sex. My recent encounters have been just a bunch of worthless douchebags and I think I’m better off on my own.

Done with OLB

Text from AnteriorMotive to OLB (01/22/2009 2:34PM) Don’t feel like lying or making a production, but i’m not interested in taking things further.

UPDATE:

Text from OLB (01/22/2009 3:40PM) Well at least talk to me about it…… Whats the matter?

Text from OLB (01/22/2009 3:50PM) Not fair…….

OLB signs his death warrant

Text from OLB (01/22/2009 7:57AM) Goodmorning  [sic] beautiful!! xoxo

Text from OLB (01/22/2009 9:23AM) Ok, [other dude] is game for fri. U still game?

OLB gets annoying

Tried to make this update a couple of times yesterday, but WordPress and my phone don’t seem to get along well.

OLB texted me while I was out with AFF waiter on Tuesday night:

01/20/2009 10:20PM – On for friday nite still?

I didn’t respond, because I was out with someone else. Yesterday was a hellaciously busy day at work, so I also didn’t respond during the day, but I’d planned to give him a call when I left the office. However, I then received this text:

01/21/2009 5:02PM – Hey you…..

I was in a meeting, so I didn’t respond to that one immediately, either, which led to this voicemail:

01/21/2009 5:21PM – Hey hot stuff, ah, it’s [OLB], ah I’m callin to make sure we’re on for Friday, I haven’t heard from you, I hope everything’s ok, um, I haven’t heard from you since you got back from your trip- I THINK. Anyway, catch you soon. [gives his phone number]

So, during a period of less than 20 minutes, he calls AND texts (I was still in my meeting when I received the voicemail, by the way) after not having received a response from his previous message. At the time, it seemed somewhat pushy and obnoxious, but I was in a pissy mood to beat all others at the time, so I decided to sleep on it before making a decision as to whether I’d burn that bridge completely.

This morning, after a moderate but still inadequate amount of sleep, I’m on the fence. It’s very possible that I overreacted completely, but K and J had varying impressions when I talked to both of them yesterday. Correct me if I misinterpret, ladies, but here’s the gist as I recall it:

K – You don’t have to like him; that’s not what it’s about. Go ahead with Friday, because it is a new and exciting experience that you might not otherwise have. You can always ditch him afterwards.

J – What the hell? The guy is just a booty call; he has to realize that the boundaries of this situation are not the same as they might be if you were taking starlit beach walks and talking about each other’s feelings. Ditch the dude, and other opportunities will come along. Anyway, I like AFF Waiter as a prospect much more.

In these two cases, I paraphrase.

I’ll post when I’ve decided exactly what I’m going to do. I think my horomonal levels are off or something, because I am nowhere near as whorishly aggressive this week as I had been for the past month or so. Then again, it could also be the combination of work stress and sleep deprivation. More when I figure out what I’ll do…
