Mr. June

Real Name: Jason
From: Odenton

Date Location: Applebees at Waugh Chapel

Background info: Went to same highschool as me (Arundel, Go Wildcats) and since the Gambrills/Odenton/Crofton area is so small, I'm not ready to put his name out there just yet. Someone is bound to know him! He has a 13 year old son which he sees every other weekend and an 8 year old daughter which he keeps except every other weekend. Owns his own towing/repo business and is a Vol. FF.

Date Deets (aka Details): Met at Applebees at 6:30 and left Applebees at 8:45ish. Great conversation was had. Awesome Bruschetta Chicken (or perhaps it's Chicken Bruschetta), if you've never had it before I definitely recommend. Ok, so back to the Date Deets: He didn't hesitate to pay.  I offered, as usual, and he refused-smart man!

Pros: Cute, an adult with an adult job, hard worker, he cooks, he's responsible.

Cons: .... I'll get back to you on this! (I know, hard to believe, right? Right!!!)


Post Date Status: He walked me to my car and looked at all the "issues" I complained about and he said "those are easy fixes". WOO HOO! Hell, if he's going to fix up my car, that's worth a second date in itself. I'm a simple girl! :) Fix my car and love my dog, that's the way to my heart! He told me to text him when I got home so he knows I made it ok. The following is the conversation had up to this point of the night transcribed from cell texts:

Me: Thanks for dinner! I'm home.

Mr. June: Ur welcome I had a good time I hope you did!

Me: Yes I did, ur easy to talk to!

Mr. June: Would u b interested in a 2nd date?

Me: Absolutely! :)

Mr. June: :)

Mr. June gets 2 thumbs up...but one thumb is pushing a shutter button!

Mr June = Mr. Junetastic!


Second Date (taken place the following day): Now, let me preface the following date deets by mentioning that I usually prefer to watch a movie alone for a few reasons: 1.) You don't have to worry about it the other person is enjoying themselves. 2.) you don't have to stress about being late because your arrival time is only determined by you. 3.)  I get a bit "twitterpatted" in movie theaters for an unknown reason and have a hard time concentrating on the movie when a male counterpart is along side me! 4.) You can't get to know someone in a theater because apparently talking in a theater is frowned upon (so is texting/emailing during a movie- who knew!!!!) 5.) I just like doing things on my own!

       After lunch with my sis and adorable Baby Niece (No, that's not her name but it's what I call her! Be kind of weird if her name was Baby Niece! LOL.)  I felt the desire to go to the movies.  I haven't been to the theaters in a bit and normally I would go alone but I felt the desire to see if Mr. June was interested. He said YES and I was a bit hesitant to follow through because he seemed a bit more interested in seeing Mr. Channing Tatum than to see me, but figured what-the-hell! So, since I was already in the Annapolis area, I told him I would meet him there and get the tickets. He asked if I was sure and I said yes. I don't mind paying for a date especially if it's my idea and it's not the first one! So, he got there a bit later than I would have liked and previews were already happening ( HMMMMPH!) but we found a decent (not top middle mind you) seat. We watched the movie, our own hands stayed in our respective spaces despite the fact the arm rest between us was in the upright position (nothing else was- I don't think!).   After the movie, we figured out that we were parked on opposite ends of the mall, and he offered to walk me to my car but I told him it was not necessary because it is far and he had to get home to get ready for his Guy's Night Out! It's nice to know that chivalry is not totally dead! I wasn't to my car yet (I did park in BFE), and he texted me " Thank u I had a great time".  So that's always nice to hear! I told him third date is on him to plan and it could be a couple of weeks before that happens since he gets his daughter back Monday and will have her next weekend. No rush anyway! :)


Third Date: ......   ........    .....  That's right! There will be no third date. I caught Jason in a couple itty bitty lies or mis-truths and he seems too busy with his work crap. Therefore, I told him to call me when he has time to date and has his work stuff figured out because I can't wait in the wings wondering when I will hear/see him again. I've done that once and the guy ended up being married- LESSON LEARNED! It's a shame because I actually liked Jason and of course I could have pointed out tons of flaws like I do with everyone, but I was willing to look past all of them because he seemed like a good guy.... Now, perhaps the mis-truths that he told were him legitimately trying to tell the truth but I'm not sure...and when there is doubt, that's no good! I know more than ever to go with my gut and that's what I'll do! If he is that interested in me, he knows where I can be found and he can make his feelings known! Until then...onto Mr. July search! :)

***Update*** Ok, so I totally forgot that I wrote the above "Third Date" and I thought about deleting it (as well as changing the whole website so that certain people can't read this site anymore), but then I wouldn't be expressing my honest feelings and I don't want to hide how I'm feeling- negative or positive. So I will just add an update to "Mr. June".  I have kept him in my head even though he hadn't reached out to me AT ALL! But I simply couldn't shake him. I communicated with a couple possible "Mr. Julys" but neither of them really seemed worth the effort (and yes, dating takes a hell of a lot of effort!).  I also, wasn't really feeling like meeting anyone new and truly missed Mr. June's "gm" and "gn, sd" texts (you're smart, you can figure those out). So, I put on my big girl panties and decided to reach out to Mr. June about a day or so ago and see what happens. Well, turns out he misunderstood/misread a text and/or this blog -apparently, he's keeping tabs on me! ;) So, since then, we've chatted about what we've missed in one another's (ugh stupid spell check- i don't like the damn red squiggle under "another's" but can't find a good synonym. p.s "other's" red squiggles too) life for the past 2-3 weeks since our non-communication hiatus as well as what went sour in our "relationship".  We seem to have picked up where we left off and hopefully, now that the air has been cleared a bit, it will continue onward and upward from here. Apparently, I have flaws too (who knew?) and if he's willing to oversee them and be willing to spend his time with me, then I certainly am appreciative of that. I'm not the easiest person to get a long with (again, who knew?) so... we will see how long he decides to put up with me this time! :) I will do my best not to put on my running shoes and flee the scene. If you know me at all, I have a tendency to do so and it's amazing that I'm actually looking forward to a THIRD DATE with someone! When will Third Date be? Who knows... hopefully soonish! I'll keep ya'll posted!
