I'm back on the block

OK people, I am taking your advice and hitting the streets.  Last weekend I went out with my roommate to a wine bar and dinner.  We went to a cute spot call Nectar (that's for my NYC folks) anyhow it was a great girls night out.  As we went to the next place...mind you a little tipsy, I had a gentleman approach me and say "he had ot say something to me because I was such a beautiful woman."  My first reaction..."ughhh pullezzze."  Second reaction "here we go first dude I am nice to because of this blog".  It was real weird mainly since I knew I normally wouldn't give this dude the time of day.  We exchanged numbers and will meeting soon for a date.  Funniest part of the night, once I was done speaking with dude, my friend asks me "who's the leprechaun you were talking to?"  Yes people he's short.  lol.  And from this point forward he will be called "the leprechaun". 

Additional update: me and the leprechaun have spoken on the phone and I must say it has been a pleasant surprise.  Not that short people can't formulate sentences or anything, but he has been an interesting conversation dude.  He said he would like to take me out to breakfast.  At first i was like...really dude are you serious?  Thinking does he think I am doing him?  But then he said, I find that most people are more alert in the morning...hmmmm this might a smart leprechaun.  lol. 

I also just joined a website called plentyoffish.com.  Please look at this fools profile picture.  I don't even have any words. 

M.I.A.

So I know I have been missing in action but its mainly cause I ain't had a date since the toe dude.  lammmmmmeeeeeee!  

Why?  I'm afraid!  Maybe I should change my challenge?  Or cancel it?  I struggled with this for 2 weeks and I decided I need to have some rules.  So yes I know one is no one is coming to my house.  lol. 

But what else should I include? 

On another note I need some help getting dates.  HELP!!!  I don't know where to go, what to do, how to go about it.  I guess I know why I'm single now huh?  LOL.  Any suggestions out there in the blogosphere?  I did try crazyblinddate.com but guess what no one in my criteria was available.  I'm going to try again and keep it wide open...oh lord.  :)  Any other ideas? 

On a story point---Should return offenders count?  I have a few dudes I used to date that always seem to come back on the scene.  It's like my mother said...they always call again.  And man if they don't.  Anyhow, this one guy who we will call "the comic" has been trying to make a comeback.  I keep saying no to going out again...maybe I should and add him to the story trail.  There are definitely some funny quirks about dude that I can share which would be very entertaining.  Let me know if you want to hear about the return offenders too. 

There are lot of to do's from you the readers.  So I shall end it with this....It's up to you what my next steps are.  So respond or I won't know what you want. 

Smooches-

The bouncer part deux

Sooo...before everyone gets all fired up once they read this story...I should have listened to the folks that said not to go out with him again.  But technically I didn't go anywhere but still I should have cut hm loose.  I am not going to bore you with all the details, but he happened to be in my neighborhood (he didn't know where I lived before) I was bored so I invited him over to watch TV.  Here are the highlights or lowlights from the evening:

• he's too tall for my basement.  I was quite shocked...it was like he was a giant or Shrek. 
  

• He and I do not watch the same shows...I did not enjoy the dirty jobs show.  

• He did admit to having a foot fetish...as he looked at my feet like they were a two piece and a biscuit.  

• He asked if he could suck my toes...I like a science project so I went with it.  

***pause for this announcement:  I hate feet so other people loving feet creeps me out***

•  he proceeded to suck/lick my feet for 45 minutes!!!!  After 2 minutes- I was fighting laughing cause he was so into it.  It felt like someone was licking me with the world's smallest  marble which I finally realized was his tongue ring!
• I kept trying to end it but he apparently couldn't get enough of my feet.  By the time he was finished my toes felt like they do when you wear flip flops in the rain.  It was disgusting.   I just threw up a little in my mouth just now as I recalled the feeling. 

How did the evening end you ask?  Once I was able to tear him away from my right foot, aka the last piece of chicken on earth, he asked me if I would give him a foot job (think about it...not your hand but your foot).....That's when I asked him to leave.  Have a good night bouncer, go violate someone else's foot into gross moistness. 

Blech. 
Discuss. 

On another note I signed up for crazy blind date for tomorrow or Sunday.  Will keep you posted. 

The bouncer

So I went out with the bouncer that I met.  I wasn't all that interested but like I said I was dating everyone.  Anyhow, here are some of the highlights...

1. he was 45 minutes late, luckily he kept calling something about traffic. 
   
2. we went to Houlihan's...he said and I quote "I've never been to a place like this."  Really? Never Friday's nothing?  But hey I'm not judging.  
3. We went to a movie that I did NOT want to go to.  He fell asleep, snored and I was forced to watch the lameness movie.  
4. oh he has a tongue piercing...Not sure how I feel on that yet either.
5. He's like 6'5"  and a "thickums" lol.  But hey so am I.  Well I'm not 6'5".
   

Overall he was a nice guy and the conversation wasn't so bad.  I think I will go out with him again.  One thing that was super weird, today he asked me to text him a picture of my toes.  hmmm...foot fetish perhaps?  Creepy.

The Plan...

Hi folks!  Just wanted to send a quick note to say thanks to my followers that joined up so quickly!  And to wish you all a happy and prosperous new year!  So I bet some of you are wondering how I am going to go about this dating challenge, right?  Well lucky for me eharmony has a free special going on starting today so I am going to sign up there today and see who I can hook in.  LOL.  Also it's new years eve and I am going out...I plan on meeting osme folks tonight.  Also if any of you want to hook me up on a blind date...I'm down for that too.  As luck would have it I met a bouncer a few days back that will most likely be my first date to discuss.  I will keep you posted.

To Blog or not to blog...

Let me first introduce myself...
I am a 33 year old African-American female that lives in the suburbs of New York City.  I have a great career, fabulous family and friends, a house, a car, a savings plan, and I am single.  Not just single because I decided to be single.  Sinnnngggllleeee....I don't even know the last time a male has called my phone that wasn't a family member.
Now why create this blog you ask?  Well a few weeks ago there was an article that talked about the plight of the single black female (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/09/AR2009120904546.html?sid=ST2009120904680), while I could relate to most of it, I couldn't relate to how mean the women in the article were.  Not dating someone because of class or hairstyle seemed trivial to me.  Sure there are men I wouldn't date but that's cause they don't have teeth or can't read or something.  Corn rows don't bother me.  So I decided to blog about my dates for the next year.  I am going to date whomever asks me out...even if he is toofless, yes I said toofless.  I am going to accept any and every date that is asked of me and then share it with you.  Of course the men's names will be changed to protect the innocent but the story must be told.
