“When people show you who they really are, believe them."
Oh Maya Angelo! I should have listened to you! Navy Guy and Buzz showed me who they were the first time. Navy Guy never called to confirm our date on Thursday. He also didn't answer my email when I asked if he was still interested in hanging out. Buzz gave me his number and I called him but he never called me back. I left a message and called back the next day.
At this point, I've deleted Navy Guy's emails and Buzz's number. If they really want to get a hold of me...they know how. Next, however, I will believe my gut when it tells me they suck.

Ghost of Lovers Past
The last few weeks have been very interesting. A few different men have resurfaced in my life and I’m not sure how I feel about that.
The fist guy to creepy back into my life was Brandon … otherwise known as Brandon#1 or "The Artist" was perfect. He had red hair (I have a thing for redheads) and amazing eyes. He was getting his masters in art and he thought I was beautiful. We went out a few times then he disappeared... that crushed me and took me awhile to get over him. Fast forward almost 2 years to Brandon messaging me on the dating site. He now lives in Columbus as a glassblower. We’ve exchanged a few emails and he’s mentioned meeting up to hangout. He thinks it would be great. He also said I’m still beautiful. Yes…that was my heart melting. I’m not holing my breathe as Brandon has burnt me before.
The second guy to creep back into my life is Mike…otherwise known as Mike #1 or "Navy Guy". Mike was a few years younger than me. He was one of those guys who was "just looking for fun". It was fun while it lasted but he was a little too childish for me. He also liked to give hickeys and that was not a good look in the summer. Mike was the first guy I dated when I moved to Dayton… our first date was 2 years ago tomorrow. Mike sent me an email on Sunday saying that it had been a long time and was wondering if I ever want to catch up over dinner. I said I would be interested in dinner but that I wasn’t looking for a hook-up. He said he wasn’t either. Two years is a long time and this could be true. I’ve decided to go out with him just to see. Curiosity never killed the cat, right?
The third guy to creep back into my life is Date #2…otherwise known as Buzz. You should remember Buzz, he sent me the random email breaking up with me out of the blue. I posted about our break up last month saying “Buzz broke it off with me. He said he found someone he was more compatible with and that gave him the attention he wanted. This didn't sit well with me, at first, but I'm over it. I wish him the best with no harm feelings.” Well… he is back on the dating site and messaged me. He said he had been thinking about me, wanted to see how I was doing, and that I should give him a call. I’m sorry…what? I messaged him back asking what exactly he had been thinking about and that I didn’t have his number. He messaged me back with his number and alluded to going out in the email. I said I would be open to going out again but I wanted to know what his intentions were. I flat out asked if he was trying to date again. What? Are you really surprised that I asked him that? I want to know what I’m getting into this time. I don’t want another random email from him in three weeks breaking things off again. I’m waiting on his response to my bold question.
The biggest question on my mind is about whether or not I should give these guys another chance. I don’t want to look like a fool but I don’t want to close myself off to something that could be amazing. In church on Sunday I had a heart to heart with the big man. I thanked him for my wonderful life and told him that I truly felt I was ready to let love in my life. I can’t help but think that maybe these guys were meant to come back when I was ready. Is that crazy?

Are These Guys For Real?
Since my last set of dates crash and burned, I've been out there looking again. I changed my profile a bit and added a new photo. With these changes, I've caught some new fish so to speak. Enjoy their messages.
HELLO, MY NAME IS BRAD, I REALLY LIKE YOUR PROFILE AND WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO YOU... Brad has sent me this message three times, including one last name at 3am. No thanks Brad, mama doesn't want a stalker.
Hi! How are you? I like your profile very much! I think
that you are really cute, and you seem like a unique person. I've
never seen anyone list both sewing and tattoos as interests. I can
see a little bit of why you consider yourself to be a walking
contradiction. I saw that you listed education as your profession.
I'm assuming that you are a teacher? I also saw that you are
passionate about music. Thats awesome because I love music too and
I listen to music all day everyday. What is your favorite genre?
P.S. Don't tell anyone, but sometimes I watch romantic comedies. =)
This message isn't bad he's just a little eager. We've messaged a few times but he lives an hour and half away...no thanks.
it was nice to hear from you.. i live @ home with my parents only because of my finances, if this is a problem let me know. if you have any questions feel free to ask. well i hope that you are having a good day. steven. Oh Steven. He's a nice guy that told me WAY too much about himself upfront. The fact that he lives with his parents is the lease of his problems. Sorry Steven.
Okay... So I am a bit of a shy person. But after viewing your about me, and seeing that smile. I had to say hello. I know I know you looked at my profile But that's not the reason I'm messaging you. Your personality , smile and eyes really stood out. To be honest I could read it again. You're a very sweet, outgoing and well rounded woman. I can honestly say you stand alone when it comes to most of the people on this site. Thanks for viewing my profile and allowing me to view yours. You made my day. I'm not totally sure what to do about this one. I got it this morning and I've read it like four times. I think I'm going to respond back but I'm not sure what to say...thank you, my smile really is great...haha.
Subject line:WoWser! I like you - tonight?
Hi-
You are stunning! I like your style!
Hope we can meet and see if sparks fly as predicted!
Where do I even begin?
Can't complain...did some grilling out and what not...I will be honest though before we even talk too much because I don't want to waste your time. I was actually looking for more of a hook up on here. I apologize if this is not what you're after. At least he's honest? Too bad b/c he was a cute artist.
