Goodbye Losers.. I don't need you anymore

So, I have had a revelation that I've been on a pretty bad string of luck when it comes to men and dating. (as you guys can see)

A key factor in this (I believe) is where I am meeting some of these "men" - at the BAR.

I am making a pact to myself... No longer will I be giving my number out to any man I meet at the bar.. and no longer will I be getting any of their numbers.

I figure.. if a guy is REALLY interested in more than a "good time" or "one-night" rendezvous then they will be smart enough to figure out a way to track down my information. PERIOD

I really am interested in finding men of higher caliber, who have CAREERS - not jobs, and who have GOALS for their future.. that will actually take them somewhere in life.

I will not settle for anything less... after-all.. after what I've been through over the last 10 years.. I damn well deserve an AMAZING man who is going to treat me the way I deserve.

I will obviously still continue to blog about my adventures- so don't you worry... there will still be lots of stories to come!

Mr. Playoff Pimp

Mr. Playoff Pimp... Good looking guy, Not gorgeous.. but good looking meets me at the bar 3 weeks ago.

He manages to get me to give him my number and offers to take me to a Jazz Playoff game against Denver. I was super excited because I've never been to a playoff game.

So we are talking back and forth getting to know each other a little bit.. the night comes for the game.
I confirm with him that we are going, shower, get ready and wait for him to let me know where were are supposed to meet up to go to the game.

Time passes... he finally says something along the lines of  "we may have a little problem, I hope you won't be upset" - so I ask him what is going on and he proceeds to tell me that the friends of his that were flying in to go to the game thought he had 6 tickets when he only has 4, and that he needed to give them the tickets that he and I were going to use.

It wasn't a big deal to me at the time because I had originally planned to go watch the game at a friends' house. So I drove to the friend's house and watched the game..

Mean while he is texting me saying that "I will make it up to you" "we will go to the next playoff game"

So, during the week that Jazz were away playing in Denver we hung out things went pretty well, he seems like an okay guy... brags about his "money" "cars" and "connections" a lot during this time (which by the way does not flatter me in the slightest)- when guys brag about that stuff it usually means they are used to getting girls simply by what they "have"- not based off of who they are. So I was a little hesitant to continue things but he did promise we would go to the next home game. (Said several times that "this will not happen again)

Time comes for the next playoff game and I am super excited. I confirm with him that we are going around 4pm. He says we will be meeting up around 7:30 so I rush home from work, get ready, and have some time to spare so I headed to the mall until 7:30

7:45 rolls around and I get a text from him saying "I am soooo annoyed"
I in turn ask him why he is annoyed and he says "I am supposed to pick up these people from the airport and take them to the game but their flight is late"
I said "what time was their flight supposed to be there?"
He says "7:00"

* First of all Mr. Playoff Pimp.. why on earth would you think that you could be picking up people from the airport at 7pm when you had plans to meet me at 7:30pm in the first place??

So I ask him how much longer he thinks he will be.. he said he would let me know when they were in the car.
I told him that I guess I would go get dinner then and hopefully he would be done around halftime so we could get to the 2nd half of the game.

I go eat dinner at Zuppas- (was delicious) and then I was going to go to Skybox to watch the game but I was so pissed that I was waiting around and not AT the game that I didn't even feel like watching it. By this time it is 9:00.
I text him to find out what his status is.. he said "I am still downtown- I just dropped them off and now I have to hurry home and get ready"

*Um.. why the HELL are you not already ready? seriously.. you DID plan a date tonight...

I said "so like a half hour?"
He said "no I I'm not even dressed!"

*again- why?

9:50 rolls around and I ask him "how much longer"
He says "20 min"

This makes me FURIOUS!

I told him "by the time you get ready the game will be over, guess this was a waste of my night - I think I will just go home"

He then proceeds to get upset with me and says "Oh so what is more important the GAME or ME? - We can still go hang out!"

(I hope someone enjoyed our "3rd ROW SEATS"- that he was claiming to have tickets for- cause I am pretty sure there would be no EMPTY seats on the 3rd row of a very crucial Playoff game)

*First of all Mr. Playoff Pimp- I WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT IMPORTANT TO YOU! So why on earth would I still want to go hang out after you stood me up?

Mr. Playoff Pimp text me for the first time since that night -Yesterday - Almost one week after the incident.
Telling me how SORRY he was.. that he APOLOGIZES... that he wants to MAKE IT UP TO ME...

Look dude- First time I gave you the benefit of the doubt that things weren't going to work out.  Then you sit there and "promise" that it will not happen again and that we will go to the next game. Then the time comes for you to PROVE that it won't happen again and you FAIL big time.

Why on earth would I want to see if it will happen a THIRD time.. ???

Men are used to women that they can walk ALL OVER- like door mats.. well let me tell you fellas..
I am NO LONGER one of those women.  I am stronger and more confident than I ever used to be.. and I DON'T deserve to be stood up by any man.

Mr. Playoff Pimp...You are Lucky I gave you a second chance.. I find it funny that you think you deserve a third....

My Little Observations.. Must Be May...

1. It irritates me when the toilet paper roll is not going "over" - it is SO much easier to find the end!
2. I think it's weird when you see someone driving a truck that only has front cab seating and their girlfriend is sitting in the middle next to them instead of in the seat on the passenger side by the door.. it just looks silly 
3. The way some people eat drives me BONKERS!
4.  I find it frustrating when people talk "at you" instead of "to you" seriously... you are not my "master"
5. Had Chinese food on Cinco De Mayo.. Really? haha
6. If you screw up once.. I will give you the benefit of the doubt... screw up twice.. you obviously have other priorities and I am not one of them... think I will pass on finding out if you will screw up for the third time.
7. If someone tells you that a man does not deserve you- listen to them.
8. Spending time with family makes me one happy girl.
9. Happy Mother's Day mom-  You are an amazing, talented beautiful woman and I don't know where I would be without you.  You are the best...
10. Wonder where some people learn to drive... 
11. It is NOT necessary to POUND your fingers on the keyboard to make it work.. seriously annoying people!  
12. If you have the time to set the new toilet paper roll on top of the empty toilet paper roll.. then you obviously have time to REPLACE the empty one with the new one... it's not rocket science!
13. Some people need a "volume control" button attached to their lips...
14. Please judge me off of my own character- not my friends... I am my own person and I have my own values and morals.  I may have friends that do things I may not agree with- but that doesn't change the fact that they are my friends.
15. Bee's Game.... Good Friends....  now that's a good Saturday evening
16. So excited for BBQ's and House parties now that summer is here :)
17. Watching the birds play in the bird bath at work is quite entertaining... cute little birds
18. Work is much better when you are busy...
19. Catching up with an old friend makes me happy :)
20. Friends will always ask for my advice and value my opinion- however in the end they are the only ones who can TRULY choose what to do.. and unless it compromises my well being.. I will be supportive every step of the way
21. I think it is great that there are shows such as Cirque Du Soleil out there that showcase the amazing talents that people possess
22. TenPin- 21 & Older Bar/Bowling alley = Best idea EVER.. way to go Park City
23. Love how refreshed I feel after spending a whole weekend with a swimming pool, hot tub, and steam room :)
24. Work is SO much better when you are busy!
25. Learned something about cooking today... Doing it in heels for over 5 hours.. not such a good idea!
26. FunDip- not sure which is better the flavored powder or the white candy stick... hmmmm
27. Time off is so refreshing.... ahhhhhh....
28. Choose to be YOU, not some fake persona that you think people want you to be
29. When boys continue to let you down.. remember you ALWAYS have your girlfriends :)
1. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA RON - R.I.P :)
30. Had a moment straight out of The Hangover... oy vey
31. Some people are kind and personable and others are just plain rude and nasty... I have faith in our generation being raised by those that are kind and personable.. the generation being raised by the latter is what makes me VERY nervous!
