ConfusingSo I've been getting several wrong number calls lately. Don't know why all of a sudden. I've had my home number for 5 years or so and my cell number for 2 years last month. (my home phone is forwarded to my cellphone)
So today I get the 800 call while I was on break so I wait for a representative to come on the line. It took a while too. And he asks for some guys name. Sorry you have the wrong number. So he adds the last name. Sorry never heard from him, you have the wrong number. ok.
Later after 5pm, I'm working until 8pm this week, I get a call, thinking it's my mom I answer it. The woman is like what are you doing or where are you at? I'm working. Then I realize I don't recognize the voice. Who is this? Brenda. You have the wrong number. Is this XXXX (the last 4 digits) yes. But I don't know you. Is it XXX (the first 3 digits) yes, but I don't know you. Ok sorry. that's ok.
Then... I get another call around 7:30pm I glance at it and see that the number starts with a 4 so I think it's Brenda again. I always answer the phone, "What", when I know who it is, so that's the way I answer it.
Well this time it's some guy. Equinox is this is Kevin. Kevin who? We dated a few years ago. (Ok-this is evidently the guy who left the message a few weeks ago saying he saw me walking down Greenwood "looking hot"--wasn't walking, I was in my car at a stop light, wasn't "looking hot", I was sick from something from the day before, no makeup, hair in a sad ponytail, just went to the dentist and probably kissing the dog)
So I say, I'm sorry I didn't date any one by that name you have the wrong number. He says what about Kip? No. What about Men-something Mexican sounding? Look I've only dated a few guys and you weren't one of them, I'm sorry you have the wrong number and I hung up.
So at the Halloween party I told Peggi about the previous call and we decided that it must be "didn't walk me to the door boy".
She worked with him and fixed me up on a blind date with him. Now, I personally LOVE blind dates. Haven't REALLY had a horrible one, I think that's what I hoping for. He came close.
He had my name and number for probably 3 months but wouldn't call--until the newspaper did an article about single people and Christmas and I responded and the put a HUGE picture of me in the LIVING TODAY section. (turned out cute) Then this jerk must have decided that I was ok looking enough to go on one date with. So already I'm not liking him. Strike 1.
He picks me up. He's short. I have boots on which my me taller than him so I feel like an Amazon. Strike 2.
When he brings me home he parks his truck and already I can tell he's not going to walk me to the door. Now my car is in the driveway and he's behind it but with enough of a space for another car to fit. I have to walk to the back door. This is January in Michigan. Icy snow on the ground. STRIKE 3.
But wait, he's going for another throw. He turns to me before I open the door and get out, puts his arm on the back of the seat and says, " I don't suppose you kiss on the first date"!!!!! WTF!!!
No, I don't. What about on a 2nd date? No not usually even on a 3rd or 4th date. This part was all said while I was out of the vehicle and closing the door.
I don't know anyone else's policy...but mine is: If a guy ASKS, the answer is NO. ALWAYS no exceptions.
Now, because at this time, my friends were telling me my standards were too high and I'm too picky. (They were wrong BTW) I did meet him for lunch once and I think maybe one more dinner for a total of 3 dates. Never, ever walked me to the door. I never, ever kissed him.
Three dates with no kissing does not, in my opinion, equal "dating" or a call FIVE years later. Yes my readers (I hope there are readers) this all happened 5 years ago. 3 so-so dates 5 years ago. What does this guy do? Every few years go through his address book and call up girls he had a few dates with?
Next thing you know Psycho FBI Agent is going to call or have Aunt Linda call me. UGGG
