Cliffhanger
01.19.05 (7:05 am)   [edit]
Okay folks, sorry to leave you hanging on the cliffhanger. Have been distracted with life and haven't felt the creative juices flowing. Forgive me?

To catch everyone up to speed, we'll go backwards on my most recent social encounters...

I was supposed to have dinner with "C" last night, but the poor soul got rear-ended on Sunday and has a case of whiplash. I offered to go over and play nurse (not naughty nurse) but he said he was just going to pop some pain meds and sleep... We'll reschedule next week.

Monday evening, I went to see "The Aviator" with (I can't remember what I named him, I think "Karl"). He wanted to pick me up at my place, but I pressed that we meet at the theater to avoid any potential romantic interludes. (Plus, he's allergic to cats and I really wasn't in the mood to do a thorough cat-dander cleaning of the house,) The movie, quite frankly, sucked. Too damn long. I don't like Leo DiCaprio either (but he has a lovely ass).

Anyway, "Karl" (I think that's his name) wanted to get to the theater 35 mins before the movie started to get good seats. So the seats are staked out, he's munching on his popcorn and we're chatting. The theater is filling up. 2 mins before the actual movie starts, a man taps me on the shoulder and asks us to shift over so that they can sit next to us. Not a super-big deal to me, but apparently it irritated the hell out of "Karl". He complained about people coming in at the last minute and interrupting everyone else and blah blah blah. (Did I mention "Karl" smokes? Yech - I could smell it on him thru the movie. Made my eyes really irritated just sitting by him)

So after the 11-hour movie, "Karl" gave me a hug and said he'd give me a call later that we should get together soon. (Translation: relatively uneventful evening) I like "Karl" a lot as a person, but I think he's got a problem with depression/isolation right now. Top that with the smoking and I think it's best that we remain pals.

On the drive home, "Naked Massage Guy" called. Said he was in town this week after all and wanted to catch up. Again, he mentioned owing me a naked massage. I didn't say a word. (You would think that LONG silent lack of response gave him a clue last time, but apparently not!) Someone did suggest that I let him give me a massage but not let him do anything but the massage and not reciprocate in any fashion. (What do you think?)

Sunday night, my friend "Marcus" invited me over. He cooked me dinner and we watched some movies. Fabulous meal. Watched Casino. I made a comment about how I had painted my toes the day before, so he wanted to see them. I ended up getting a foot massage that left me like buttah - he used to be a physical therapist. He offered for me to spend the night, but I was a good girl and went home in the freezing cold like a good girl. ("Marcus" and I are friends. But after the food and the foot massage, it was REALLY tempting to rethink things!)

So... here's the funny part:
Sunday, I met "Mitch" for brunch. "Mitch" was a client of mine about 5 years ago. We've stayed in touch via email and occasional emails. He lives in the same vicinity as me, so we run into each other from time to time. I got a "Merry Xmas/Happy New Year" email from him, saying we should get together for coffee or something. So, we finally got together for brunch. Met at 11:30. First place was utterly PACKED - and with LOTS of kids. (Definitely not my scene). Relocated over to another restaurant. Ended up talking about his work, what's been going on with me (and not going on). About 2:00, we both wanted something warm, so we walked over to Starbucks. Sat there talking for another 90 minutes, people-watching, etc.

*Note, there has been NO physical contact at all between us other than a very brief hug when we met at 11:30. Then he says...
(You are SO going to love this)
"I really enjoy interacting with you. I find you mesmerizing. Let's move this over to a hotel room."
I almost choked on the green tea I was sipping.
I said "Wow. Um, that's a flattering offer "Mitch", but that's not really my style."
He replied "Well, maybe next time?"
I said "No "Mitch", not next time. I'm not in the market for a friend with benefits."
He said "You wouldn't regret it."
(I was trying to be nice because he's a rather gentle soul and I think that he was really stepping out on a limb to even ask me. I was trying to let him down gently.)
I looked at my watch and exclaimed "Oh my! It's 4pm. I'm supposed to meet my mom in 30 minutes. I've got to get going!"

Apparently, I had a post-it note on my forehead that said "Fuck Me".

WOW,
Maybe I need to get me one of them sticky notes. I could deal with a few 'hotel room' propositions if it meant I could get a bloody foot rub or naked massage!!
What a life you lead girlie!!

"Naked Massage Guy" has never been one that has been interested in ANYTHING but activities that pleased himself. He's full of it.

And "Mick/Mitch" is nice but... He's intelligent but not very witty and rather low-energy. Perhaps a little too intense too.

And he's 42 and has a full gray beard now (recently grown it). It makes him look at least 15 years older. I'm thinking of a delicate way to suggest he might want to get rid of it.

You reallly should be more careful with those post it notes! They are going to get you in trouble yet!

You are way stronger than me, the foot massage would've been it! "Whatever you want baby! I'm yours...for the night anyway!"

"I really enjoy interacting with you"

WTF?!?!?!

I wouldn't let naked massage guy do the massage. It'll will kill him if he can't do anything else.

Payback is a bitch. Perhaps it's time for a dose of his own medicine, ie, 'it's ALL about me! me! me!"

I totally realize that these guys are not the 'cream of the crop' but hey- I'd take the massages and run. I'd kick off my shoes right there in the coffee shop though- so I wouldn't be trapped into getting naked LOL!

Dude. You need to go back and read the previous posting about him. He's the one that is ALWAYS suggesting a bj. He's always been about "what can you do for me!"

So I figured I might turn the tables... ;)

Good idea. But what if one of them comes over to work on my computer and I forget to take the post-it note down? They'll think I'm a total trollop!

The guy in the coffee shop was interested in much more than a foot massage. (ahem)

The naked massage guy - I know what would happen. He'd spend 30 seconds doing a pathetic job rubbing my shoulders and then start trying for my boobs, etc. (I know him too well...)
