Bold and Confident or Just Crazy

Self,

Thankfully I have not heard from Aint-right, the guy from "Dating Crazies" on 1/11/09. AND I DON'T WANT TOO.


However there have been others. So far these have just been conversations....but things that come out of their mouths.


OK so there's this one dude, I'll just call RealNike (combination of his screennames on the site we met and Yahoo Messenger.) We exchanged numbers talked briefly. Couple days later he calls me while I'm sitting at a Starbucks with a friend. So I tell him I'll call him back. SO when I finished I called. I know that he lives in Hollywood and I was at a Starbucks in Hollywood. So I suggest meeting...as far as I know I may be around the corner from him or on the opposite side of the city. He says he can't because he's waiting to receive or make a call at 8pm. It's 7:20pm as we were talking. And he ask about meeting later. Well yes it is early enough so meeting later isn't a problem, but in my head I'm thinking I'm in Hollywood now, and I'm not going to want to go home then come back to Hollywood...but whatever.


He asks "So what are you looking for on that site."


Yall I'm grown. I know what I'm doing and well I'm not ashamed. SO I told him the truth. "Well I started the account cause I was horny and was looking get my freak on. But I'm not THAT asshole to ignore folks if sex isn't going to happen. I know that you never know who you may meet, so I'm open to other possibilities."

"So are you a Top or Bottom?" So you're looking to get your freak on too...aiight.


"Well I'm versatile."


"Oh, so do you mostly bottom?" Hello dumbo, Are you listenting?

"NO. Like I said I like both. It depends on my mood and the person I'm with, but I enjoy both." Lets turn this a bit. "What about you?"


"I'm a top, but I don't do hook-ups. I want someone to kick it with and hangout. I want something more." MORE, really? The first thing you think to ask me is about sex role/position, but you want more...Right.


"Aiight cool. Well I see its about 10 minutes til 8pm so I'm going to let you go so you can deal with that call. Let me know when you're done."

Well I continue my drive home. Make some other calls on the way. I do some other things once I get home and eventually sign into Yahoo Messenger and send a greeting to a buddy in Jerzey and a few other folks. I get a message from RealNike like 830pm asking if I have another picture. Ok fine, he does something to initiate a photoshare session on Yahoo. (that's new....to me.) His picture is dark and he's somewhere wearing sunglasses and a ballcap.Essentially all that be seen is his cheek and lips so you know that he has brown skin. So you are playing that game, fine. I send him a picture of me from my recent trip to DC, (not the one of me with the Obama cut-out, I was in the cold in the middle of the street bundled up...not an up-close and personal shot, but still 100 times better than his cause you can see my face!)



"Cool. So, [Mr RealNike,] what do you do for fun?"



Crickets.



__________ Crickets.

__________________________ Crickets.

"Hey, you have any nude pictures." This of course raises an eyebrow on my part, because he doesn't do hookups since he wants more, but whatever.

I respond, "Shoot." He sends one.....Yall grown and ain't new. Well I haven't used that jpeg file in a while so I didn't know in which folder it was located. So it took a minute to find and in that process my tired ass computer trips.

"Why you playing games man, you had me send that pic and sign off."

"Not playing games man...I have no reason too." (Translation: you aren't all that for me to be tripping like that.) "I don't know where that file is so I'm looking for it, hold on."

I find it. And send it. Crickets.

"RealNike, what do you do for fun?" Crickets.

So trying to give him some kind of break (not sure why.) "Okay, so tell me, if you don't do hook-ups and want more, why was the first thing you ask me about is sex and nude pics?"

"Huh, what you talking about?"

You are 38 years old supposedly. You should be able to keep up. At a minimum you should know what bullshit you allow to spill out your own mouth!

I dismiss the situation and shortly thereafter say good night.

Then there's this other guy. Although I don't have a "type" since I'm an equal opportunity lover to a wide range of beauty and sex appeal, his stature falls outside that range. So aside from the fact that he has a cute face and grin, I don't sense any physical attraction towards him. HOWEVER, who knows how our interection could enrich each other's lives so I'm ok with establishing a dialogue. I TOLD HIM THIS! Let me repeat I TOLD HIM THIS.

I get a text message from him "Why not give a big boy a chance one time?" I chuckle to myself. Go ahead start making a case for yourself.

"Well we see."

Other words and information were exchanged and to be fair maybe part of that exchange suggested to him that my feeling had change even though I did not say it. Sometime later, I get a text, "So when you going to let me suck that dick and eat that ass?"

Damn dude you are bold, we ain't met, and you ain't even seen my ass, so how you know you want to eat it? As cool as I am with having a text conversation, if you catch me at a bad time, you may get a short answer or it will be ignored until I'm in position to better answer you. He got a short one; "LOL." (My Bad.)

Later I get another message asking the same thing. Well I'm in a better position to answer. "Man like I said why not first see about trying to meet, maybe have coffee or something. Considering that I don't generally date big dudes......the more you push the more I'll push away?"

He says, "I thought I was going to get another lol like I did earlier thats why I said it I am always down to meet chill and get some coffee or something to eat just let me know when."

Is it me or is there something wrong with that logic?

Sincerely,

Pharaoh
