Mr. February

Real Name: Dave

From: Pasadena

Date Location: Buffalo Wild Wings @ Annapolis

Background info: Dave dated an alcoholic for 4 years and got tired of being the father figure in her life so he got out of the relationship.  His brother died a ways back due to a heart condition and his mother died as well for different reasons.  He is close with his father and sister in law (brother's widow).  He doesn't have kids of his own and was never married. 

Date Deets (aka Details): Met at BWW. Ate some food, watched some football. Good conversation. I paid for my part of the meal. We left the date saying "we will get in touch and hang out again".  The next day, I reached out to him to see if he was interested in another date. He agreed.

Second Date Deets: We went early Sunday morning bowling at Greenway. He paid for coffee and fries. He also paid for bowling. Fun time. He left the date asking what I was doing the following weekend. I told him nothing was scheduled and he then said he would look into going to a "magic show/bar" type thing for our next date.

Post Second Date Status: The next day (Monday), he said he was sick with the flu. He was sick and didn't go to work Mon-Wed. When I asked what he was doing that weekend, he said he was recuperating and resting from being sick. After Wednesday of that week, neither of us reached out to the other one.


Pros: Nice enough guy. Easy to hold a conversation with. Paid for second date.

Cons: He did not offer to pay for date 1. No physical attraction but had "grow on you" potential.  Not very assertive. Didn't "take charge" until he mentioned he would set up the third date which never happened. I had to reach out to him to see if he was interested in second date.   

  Update: Within the past couple of weeks (February) I noticed he was active on the dating website where I had originally met him and so I sent him a message asking him how the "search" was going. He responded with there is no search because he is not into Brazilian women, hinting that the only females out there are foreigners. No other communication happened since then.

Mr. January

Real Name: Kerry

From: Halethorpe

Date Location: Buffalo Wild Wings @ Arundel Mills Mall

Background info: Separated for a couple months. Claims the relationship was over back in June or July and divorce will be finalized in April of 2012.  Has 2 daughters that he sees whenever he "asks" for them. No set custody agreement.  Wife is involved in a relationship with another guy. 

Date Deets (aka Details): Met at BWW to have some grub and watch playoff football game. Good conversation. At beginning of 4th quarter, we left BWW and went to Dave and Buster's. We played a few games and left on a good note. I paid the tip at BWW and put 10 bucks toward D and B games.

Pros: Nice enough guy. Easy to hold a conversation with.

Cons: I was not too fond of the fact that he had 2 daughters, not yet divorced and the kids were biracial but I gave the guy a chance anyway.

Post Date Status: He called me the next day and we made small talk but neither one of us reached out to the other one to set up date 2. 

The Resolution

Since I'm a single gal, and have been so for a while now, I decided to make myself a goal of meeting at least 12 new guys within 2012. My intention was that by setting this goal it would force me to put myself out there a little bit more and potentially meet Mr. Right before 2013 rolls around. This is the spot where you can keep up on my Mister of the Month and see if he has potential to last throughout the year. Now, one stipulation I added was that if I were to meet 2 guys within one month, the second would count for the following month (guy "rollover").  Once I meet my quota of 12 within one year then the rest will be considered "bonus" guys!
