Gigi: Week of June 14th

  • June 14, 2010 at 12:27 am

2nd week not so wonderful

Gigi is still seeing Steve, but he is not being as sweet and attentive as the first week. However, he does have some good reasons. He is taking quite a few very tough nursing classes. His mother is in town and driving his sister crazy, and involving him in the fighing. He does still text Gigi every day, and they talk a lot on the phone, but she went without seeing him for five days. He showed up for their date at Gigi’s house only to tell her that he couldn’t stay… he had to go pick up his mom who’d be staying with him for a few days…

He told her quite a few times that he’d be seeing her that night, only to cancel… it was one of those maybes that we tell our kids, when we don’t want to tell them no… but he was very sweet and apologetic, and promised to make it up to Gigi.

She finally got to see him Sunday night, which she did spend at his place… but let’s just say that he was exhausted from a hard week, so Gigi did not get her favorite type of dessert… oh no, please tell me it won’t be like the last boy friend…

Gigi: Week of June 7th

So much for sweet and thoughtful
I guess Gigi is lucky in that men these days show their true colors quickly, and then she doesn’t waste a lot of time on them… Kevin ended up not being as sweet and thoughtful as she’d thought last week. He asked her over to his house, and gone were the nice clothes, and on were the raggedy sweats. The house was a disaster, which for Gigi to notice makes it truly yucky… there was even a cockroach in the kitchen… UGHHHHH!!!

He spent the whole night texting (to his daughter he said), and didn’t pay much attention to Gigi. He also had this severe itching problem… Gigi got out of there as soon as she could, and didn’t text him for a few days. When he texted her to ask what happened, Gigi just kindly told him that he is not what she is loooking for… and left it at that.

Here I go again

Gigi has rejoined another dating site (one of the ones you have to pay for… although actually the website discovered this blog and gave Gigi three free months!!). Once I got my matches, I found three or four I liked and sent off a communication.

And let’s cross our fingers and toes and eyes, shall we?

So far so good

Gigi met someone who likes to go through all the online steps quickly, and in just a matter of days was exchanging a phone number with… hmmm, what shall we call him? Steve.

They discovered that they had so much in common… and I mean SO MUCH!! We were soon texting nonstop (he counted over 200 texts in a matter of a day… yay a texter!! MFG = Made For Gigi). They sent each other most of The Holy Grail by text, and when he sent Gigi another excerpt from her other favorite movie to quote “The Princess Bride” and he realized she recognized it right away, they both got goosebumps!!

He asked to meet her that night…and it was a success from the get go. They met for drinks and immediately liked what they saw. He then took Gigi to meet his best friend!!! YES!!! And they had so much fun, laughing and drinking… of course, they had to end the night watching “The Holy Grail”… just Gigi and Steve, and all I will say is that it was a memorable night… that did not end the next day.

Nope. Gigi and Steve texted and talked and saw each other for 4 nights in a row. She met another friend of his that weekend… They tried to set him up with Helen (please forgive me Helen… it did so not work out. He was nowhere near as nice as Steve).

But Helen and Steve approved of each other, and Helen thought he was a wonderful man.

Now Gigi is only in severe like… not head over heels love. But he really seems to be a nice and thoughtful man…. and… stop the presses…he’s white!! He’s Gigi’s age, lives very near her, has two children, and is studying to be a nurse. So far Gigi really likes what she sees…

Here we go again

Well, it’s lonely out here. My man of a month is gone, my girls are busy these days, so Gigi is back on the dating websites, if only to talk and see who is out there, and of course, to maybe get more material. I have heard from my long-ago “drive-in” guy as I call him, but since he’s been promising to get together since April 1st, I am not holding my breath. Gigi: Week of May 31 – continue reading…

Men are gifted liars

I read a great line in a book yesterday – a book about spies!! It said “Men are great liars in the early days. Getting laid inspires them.” Gigi: Week of May 24th – continue reading…

I will NEVER understand men!!

So much for true love and the perfect man… After only four weeks, Gigi’s man has already begun to ignore her, take her for granted, and suddenly the things he loved about Gigi are no longer ok. Gigi: Week of May 17th – continue reading…

Gigi: Week of May 10

He’s baaaaaaack

It seems as though men can only deal with one thing at a time, and if there are problems in his life, then the girl friend suffers from lack of attention. Gigi: Week of May 10 – continue reading…

Dating and the traveling salesman…

Well hello, world. It has been awhile since I have last written. However, don’t think that I haven’t written because of lack of material. Rather, it has been quite the opposite. As you may know, I have been participating in dating websites and have only gone out on a handful of real dates with these gentlemen. Helen: Week of May 10 – continue reading…

Gigi: Week of May 3rd

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose

For those of you who don’t know this very famous French expression, it means, the more things change, the more they remain the same. Or FML (Fuck my Life). Gigi was so upset one night, that she typed on facebook as her status: Plus ça fucking change, plus c’est la même fucking chose. She felt bad, and deleted it. Gigi doesn’t swear much.

Helen’s Ridiculous Love Life

Well, that does it. I am officially fed up with even the dating websites. When I get home from work and can officially cut and paste some of the garbage pick up lines and emails from different men I have gotten this week, I will. Helen: Week of April 26th – continue reading…

Fingers and toes and eyes crossed

It is now over a week. Four successful dates together. One more for tomorrow. He has cooked for her twice (and baked her peanut butter cookies!!). She has cooked for him once, and will again tomorrow. They talk on the phone several times a day… and wonder of wonders, Gigi is not the only one calling!! He is not much of a texter, but makes up for it by talking. Gigi: Week of April 26th – continue reading…
