The One With The Dud And The Hot Shot

This one may get a little confusing, but I’m going to do my best to keep things clear for you. Let’s start from the beginning.

My friends and I were all out on a Sunday for NFL football. It was the AFC and NFC championship weekend. We all got pretty tanked at the first bar watching the AFC championship as the Broncos defeated the Patriots. We moved onto a second bar for the NFC championship and thats where I met the Hot Shot. He was actually our server at the second bar. He works there over the winter and is a Hot Shot Firefighter over the summer. Given we were all pretty drunk, all I could really remember was that he was short and cute. But I didn’t care how short he was, he had a great smile.

You see, the bar the Hot Shot works at is close to my work. I tend to go there a lot after work with my co workers or to meet up with random guys that I’m meeting for the first time. I went over to the bar with a co worker the following week. He came up and talked to me. He remembered me and my friends from last sunday. I made a $20 bet with him on who was going to win the SuperBowl.

SuperBowl week rolls around and I am going to meet a random guy at the bar that the Hot Shot works at. The guy I met up with was a Dud. He couldn’t hold a conversation. Not to mention during our texting conversations prior to us meeting, he was very risqué. It was quite annoying and a huge red flag. But regardless, I decided to give him a chance because why not!? He was attractive, ginger and a country boy. We all know how much I love Gingers. We sat down and ordered a beer. And what do you know– Hot Shot happens to spot me and gives me a little wave that only I can see. My attention was now on the Hot Shot and not the Dud I was sitting with.

The Hot Shot came up to talk to me and the Dud while we were having a beer. He was telling us about the deals they had going on for the SuperBowl that weekend. The Hot Shot also explained to the Dud that we had a bet going on for who was going to win. I asked the Hot Shot when he was working again so I could collect my money. He told me he was working Monday after the SuperBowl. During this whole conversation, all I was thinking was that I am totally getting the Hot Shot’s number before I leave. He is just so handsome. I had a plan.

After the Dud and I finished our beer, I walked out to the parking lot with him and we said goodbye. Thank God he didn’t try to kiss me because that would of made things worse. I wasn’t into him at all. I got into my car and watched him walk to his truck and drive away. Once the Dud was out of sight, I got back out of my car and walked back into the bar to see the Hot Shot.

I sat down at one of his tables waiting for him to walk out of the kitchen. When he came around the corner he smiled and walked right up to me. He started by saying that he had lied to me because he doesn’t work the day after the SuperBowl. I responded with, “I have a question for you”. My heart was pounding in my chest. Why was I so nervous? I asked if he was single. He responded yes. I then said, “Great, because I find you wildly attractive and I would love to get to know you”. A huge smile spread across his face and he pulled out his phone to get my number. I put my number into his phone and he said that he would text me later. He gave me a hug goodbye, told me that I made his whole night and I left. Best part about this whole thing– when I left, I still didn’t even know his name.

Sometimes the girl has to make the first move.

The One With The Blonde Hair, Blue Eyed Marine Pt. 2

Saturday night was our third date. I decided to get all cute. I’m talking dress, heels, lipstick… the works. I showed up to his place for dinner about 6:30. We were going to this nice sushi place downtown. I walked in and his eyes lit up. He grabbed my hand and spun me around in a circle and told me how beautiful I was. COME ON! No one does that! Pinch me. This man made me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world.

When we sat down to dinner we happened to get a table right next to some people that he knew. I feel this guy just knew everyone. He was a gentleman and introduced me to anyone we came across that knew him. We had a great dinner full of constant conversation and laughs. And not to mention the most amazing sushi. After dinner we decided to run by the liquor store to get stuff to make margaritas. He claimed that he could make the best margarita. I feel like all men say they are “the best” at something. Right? While we were at the liquor store he was just talking me up to the cashier. I found it quite hilarious and adorable at the same time. He had no problem showing me off.

Anyways, we went back to his house and turned on some music while he made us drinks. This old school (and by old school I mean 2000s) hip hop song came on: R.Kelly – Ignition — we both bust out singing the moment we heard it. He grabbed me, spun me around and started dancing with me in the kitchen. It was seriously probably one of the best nights. We had so many laughs together and were all smiles.

The next morning he sat me down in this giant bean bag chair in the living room and told me that I had to watch this show called Sherlock. He made me coffee and breakfast while we watched this show together. I was impressed. No man has ever done this for me. After breakfast he looked at me and said, “Do you want to make this a regular thing? You and me?” Obviously I was jumping for joy inside because no one has ever made me feel this special and cherished. That being said, we set  another date for Tuesday to go to this orchestra/singer event.

Tuesday night rolled around and we went to this event together. There was a cocktail party beforehand. I got to meet all his friends from the gym and work. The girls really liked me. 🙂 That always makes me happy when a man’s girlfriends get along with me. We were all smiles all night. He would let me run off with the girls and then whenever I came back he would hold my hand and give me a kiss. The actual performance was amazing. I can’t recall the name of the woman who sings with this orchestra, but she’s hilarious and is a great entertainer.

We went back to his house after the performance. He started to make us a drink when the curveball came flying. He started out by saying how much he has enjoyed the evening and our time together recently. Then he continued to say that he isn’t looking to date anyone at the moment. HOLD UP. You were the one that asked me if I wanted to make you and I a ‘regular thing’. Not me. I didn’t even mention the word boyfriend or anything like that. This is what I don’t understand. Men LOVE the idea of having a girl to do all these things with, but when it comes down to it, they just want to know at the end of the day that they aren’t tied to one girl. And, to make things worse, he continued to say how amazing I am, beautiful, funny, smart, hard working… blah blah blah BUT he just doesn’t want anything. SHOOT ME.

I said my peace with him and let him know that he completely led me on. He knows he did. Men aren’t oblivious to the fact that they are 100% misleading you. They just don’t care. I left his house and never turned back.

NEXT!
