I am a single, independent Gemini woman living in Ventura County, CA. This is not meant to be some life changing, awe inspiring dating advice blog; it is just me and my random, some times contradicting thoughts and points of view on dating while living in the suburbs. It's not always easy or fun but this is my life and I hope that my experiences are entertaining or informative; if even just to get to know myself better through the therapeutics of writing, I will continue and write when I feel the need to....I've been at this for YEARS now and have yet to find my prince charming, so follow me through my life as being SINGLE IN THE SUBURBS and be glad you're not me! ;)

5/29/2010: Mr. Setup

Saturday

Location: somewhere in Long Beach

I had to work an event tonight until 9pm but half way through I get a text from my mother. 
"Wanna go on a date for your birthday?...He's 29 has a good job. Looking for a down to earth girl that enjoys doing stuff outdoors and likes kids...He saw your photos and videos with the kids...he has a fun sense of life too"
Fun sense of life? Is that code for not very attractive? I ask her to send me a picture....
She sends me a blurry photo of him and to tell you the truth...it's not very promising.
"He lives in Long Beach but he is willing to travel. Don't discount "extra meat"."
LOL!
He looked to be about 5'11 and 300lbs at least but mom said he was funny and nice and a lot of fun.
Nothing scarier then mom setting you up! You can't really say no or be as shallow as normal when mom recommends....
There is no way however that I am going on a first date ON my birthday. Dude is going to have to get in line.  hahaha
Facebook friends first? I think so.

LMAO! Bad mom, bad! That's messed up your mom tried to hook you up with Jabba the Hut! Yeah he might be a nice guy, until he chains you up in his basement to re-enact his favorite scene from Return of the Jedi. Bullet dodged, I hope?

LMAO! Yes, bullet dodged. She didnt follow through with getting his number or anything, thank goodness. But she now thinks I am a super shallow California bitch for not trying to see past a few extra pounds. I tried explaining to her I NEED to be attracted to the guy before I would "go for it"...she thinks I am looking for too much...Is wanting an attractive guy too much!?...Shouldn't the mom want me to have EVERYTHING in a guy? Or maybe I am just too old now and should "settle" like everyone is telling me to do?...ughh.

This is a friends son that you actually Know! "Gils son" Jason. It was not a set up, it was a freinds son that wanted to take you out for a birthday dinner... he is a really a sweet guy and wanted to make your birthday special, sorry you took it all wrong...
I asked you if I could give him your facebook address... and that was the end of my involvement.
