So, first off i'm sorry that I have contributed in awhile, life has been so crazy that there wasn't much time for dating.
Well, now that it's spring and the flowers have started blooming, I decide it was time to make some room for members of the opposite sex (gay friends excluded) I was convinced by a friend to try Match.com. Needless to say, I was skeptical at first that it would just be the same run of the mill weirdo's as any bar or club, but within a few days I started exhange emails with a few guys. One named Chris that seemed to really have his life together, 33, owned his own electrical company, home, motocycle and car. :) We even had similar interests in music and sports. The other ,was this guy Ricky who seemed like more of the bad boy type. (Which is usually what i'm drawn to) 27 tall ,and working as an electrician, and I thought to myself, "How weird is it that they both are electricians"
After a few conversations with the "badboy" he went MIA for a few days, I just figured that he met someone or lost interest. I began talking to Chris more and more. One night we were on the phone until 2am without any weird awkward silences. The next night it was till 12:30am until my eyes were tearing from laughter and lack of sleep. I decided it was time for us to meet because I never like talking on the phone that much.
Plans were made to hang out the next night. We got dinner and a drink and then decided to go watch a movie at my house,he brought a few with him incase we were both tired (more like in case I decided to sleep with him, and for the record I didn't) We also talked about the usual stuff like, why we decided to try online dating and how long we had been on it. I mentioned I had only been on the site for a few weeks, and that he was the only one I had actully communicated with outside of email, but that I did email back and forth with a few people and exchanged numbers, but they never called.
So, while we were watching the movie we talked even more about life, and personal realtionships i.e. ex's and annoying family members and he mentioned how he had to fire his cousin the day before, because he wasn't doing his work and borrowing money all the time. Apparently his cousin Ricky was spending work time at the bar trying to hit on chicks and Chris found out because his cousin was stupid enough to call him from this place called Kegglers Den... (super dive bar)
Anyway, the next day at work i'm sitting at work when out of the blue I get a text from this random number. The message says "How's work going" I reply "good. you? who is this?" The reply, "I can't complain, work was slow, so I took the week off" "I again reply with "Who is this" the response "Its Ricky Martin" OMFG the light finally comes on. Ricky is Chris' scumbag cousin.
Needless to say I didn't respond to Ricky's text and when I told Chris that one of the other people who messaged me online was his cousin, he mentioned he wasn't surprised because his cousin and him have the same taste, but the situation was really weird. He even emailed me saying that he was done with Match for good... it was just to strange. I agreed, what are the odds that the only people I had a connection with from the stupid site are cousins....
Chris and I hung out one more time, but it was never quite the same, there was always this weird feeling, I almost felt like I cheated or something by talking to Ricky even though, I hadn't even met Chris yet... It was weird.
