Triathlon Dating Thread Ver 3.0 (Page 10)

This.

The guy I'm dating right now (did I just say that?!) has confessed to me that in his past he's used his incredibly busy schedule as an excuse to not see someone as often. He has a 12-year-old son, whose baseball team he coaches amongst the other myrad of obligations in a child's life, works at least 60 hours a week, is passionate about golfing and charity events, helps support a friend's retail business, and travels at least one week out of the month. That's A LOT.

Yet he's taken every opportunity to hang out with me that he can, texts throughout the day, make sure I know his schedule so I'm not left wondering, etc.

He's doing a really good job of this juggling thing and the effort shows.

Lisa...does he have a brother perhaps?

I reported this story but it really does belong here.

I am pretty sure I have the record for shortest first date ever. Anyone? 

Start time 7:01 (yes, I was a tad bit late)

End time 7:05

Texted and called on the day we were suppose to meet.  We said 4:00 BUT the day was so beautiful here in Chicago that we both were out and about (it been a long winter here with NO sun).  Of course - I was at the beach in my suit.  So changed the date to 7:00.  He said there was a seafood place around the corner from his house and he had street parking available by his house.  So I agreed to drive over.  He texted the address, I texted "on my way @ 6:44".

When I arrived.  He came down and met me while I was in the car parking.  He was in yellow sport shorts (not sure what sport) and a college sweatshirt and very disheveled.  Walked up to the car and said "I am not quite ready yet, I still need to change and shower but you are welcome to come up to my place and have drink and wait.  We JUST MET!!  No hello.....and NO WAY!!!

Rolled up the window and rolled away.  The end! 

You only have one chance to make a first impression, make it count! 

By ovaltine did you mean roofies? 

That is a good question.  Is trust something you give or earn?  both?

I am giver, but once you break the trust circle or lie to me......big problems.

Off to urban dictionary! I don't know what that means....but sounds dirty

Oh hey - thought I would chime in again.

Last weekend I spectated Bowtie Boy's son's baseball game (Dad was coaching) and met baby mama. It was not weird or awkward at all - she is married with a little baby and they were all there. We hung with some mutual friends and watched the incredibly boring game before going out for pizza (not pizza) together. She's super cool, friendly, and not at all what I expected. I am truly impressed with the civil and friendly relationship the two of them share. 

He has been out of the country all week and I canNOT wait until Friday when he returns. He's been overly sweet while away though, texting me multiple times a day and even calling me this morning. 

Oh yeah and we leave for a mini-vacation Sunday. I might just be an observer in this thread after the weekend... 

Oh I have only seen three movies, that was not one of them!  I want to be sure I have enough material to watch when I am in a  old person's home. 

I will put that one on the list.
