Mr. Bubbles (Take 2) and Mr. Cheapo (x2)

Remember Mr. Bubbles, who I wrote about a couple of posts back? The one who said he had to figure things out with the ex, yet had a new profile picture up the next day? Well, Mr. Bubbles needs to remember that women get a list of every single loser who views their profile online. Two weeks after we stopped talking, guess who viewed my profile? Yep, Mr. Bubbles himself.

So as part of my mission to put these creeps on full blast, I texted him...


(Now....you'll have to forgive me here, folks...I seem to have lost the screenshot forever. SORRY! But I will do my best to re-cap the conversation...)

Me: Looking at my xxxx profile again, are ya? Wondering what you missed out on? 

Bubbles: Oops... you caught me.

Me: You should know better! I'm going to put this on my blog!

<crickets>

Little does he know this is blog post #2! That honor is reserved for extra special creeps.

Speaking of creeps, I had a couple of dates scheduled this weekend. Nothing big...one was coffee, and the other was a casual lunch. Now, I'm an old fashioned girl. If a man is going to invite me out on a date, I expect him to cough up the cash and cover my drink/meal/whatever. I'm not alone on this, am I, ladies?? Saturday was a coffee date at Starbucks. I arrived first and waited for him to get there. I ordered my beverage first, and he made no attempt to add his order onto mine, or to pay for my coffee. WTH?? I'm glad this date was only for coffee, because it was like pulling teeth to keep the conversation going. Lots of gazing around the store (man, that Tazo tea display is INTERESTING) and uncomfortable silence. I couldn't get out of there fast enough!

So fast forward to Sunday. Gorgeous day to have lunch outside, and I was hoping to have better conversation than the day before. We went to a place where you write down your order on a slip, and give it to the cashier to pay. He approached the cashier first, and paid for his slip only. Again, WTH? At least the conversation was decent this time, but I didn't feel any romantic connection there.

MEN (I use that term loosely), LISTEN UP. I know this is 2014 and we're all about women's equality...but you need to grow a set and be a chivalrous gentleman. Treat a woman to whatever it is you're partaking in when you ask her out. I have several guy friends who get to hear about these dates, and they can't believe it when I tell them that sometimes, men don't pay up. 

I'm headed into a bit of a dry spell after my busy weekend. I'll have to dig into the archives to pull out some older stories, so stay tuned!
