I don't have a specific type of guy I like. For me it's not just the looks that matter, but I need to find you interesting enough to start up a good conversation and I have to feel comfortable enough around you in order to agree to go out on a date. I met Mr. Sunshine at the office of a distant cousin. I had to bring him something for his mother and his friend was there too. Without knowing me he started to flirt abundantly, telling me how many women he's had. I thought he was an annoying self centered prick who was too full of himself and had an ego bigger than the Titanic.He was one of those guys who said he could always "get any girl he wants".
As a friend of my cousin we saw each other on a regular basis, and you know how it goes. He becomes your friend, the annoying traits become less annoying until you barely notice them.
One evening he asked me out, not on a date, but just going out as friends.He had a business meeting at the bar where we were both regulars, I was going out anyway, so we decided that I would pick him up there and go out dancing. Upon arriving at the bar I saw him sitting at a table talking to a woman, so I figured that she was his meeting. After about 20 minutes he came up to me and said he was ready to go. I paid my tab, got up and started walking towards my car only to see him and (lets call her) Mary standing next to it. "This is Mary. She is joining us tonight" At this point I didn't have enough alcohol in my system to make a scene, but just enough for it to annoy me.
"So is she driving her own car there?"
"No Mary doesn't have a car, but come on, you car can easily take 3 people right?"
Again ... I didn't want to make a scene and spoil my evening, so Mr. Sunshine and Mary got into the car ... both in the backseat. I felt like a taxi driver taking a guy and his date to a party.
When we got to the club Mary wanted to sit by the bar and I wanted to dance.
You do understand that by now I was so annoyed with Mary, that i wanted to send her all the way to Bethlehem. I left them at the bar and went to the dance floor. A little while later they joined me on the dance floor, but it wasn't long before Mary wanted to leave.He came up to me and asked if I could give him and Mary a ride home, because she was bored and Tired.The look on my face was enough for Mary to call a cab and I never saw him or her again

Mr. Emotionally Unavailable
We have all
met that one guy who doesn’t know what he wants. One day he likes coffee, the
other he likes tea. He can’t decide between being single and in a relationship
and can’t make up his mind whether he likes you as a friend or romantically.
Well meet Mr. Emotionally Unavailable .He’s a great guy I
met through friends. Not my usual Strong Tall dark well-dressed and handsome
type, but a short and a bit on the heavy side all-around good guy. Most guys
catch my attention at a party or a bar, but my heart skipped a beat when he
passed me on the running track, wearing a t-shirt, sweatpants and sneakers. Ok
maybe I was tired and I had to catch my breath and that’s why I stopped and
noticed him. Sounds crazy I know, but I’ve seen him around before, but I never
paid much attention to him. We were introduced after the workout and we each
went our way. He was the first one to make contact. We started texting and he
was very nice and we met a few times. I’m not the most confident person, though
my friends will disagree, especially when it comes to expressing my feelings to
guys I like. Well it took me a while, but I finally did tell him. He was
surprised, he said he didn’t see it coming and the explained to me that he was
“emotionally unavailable”. Also he wouldn’t know what to tell his kids. He
didn’t want to compromise the already fragile relationship with his ex, by
bringing a new woman into their lives. What could I do? I mean we were friends,
I knew his situation, so I understood.
A few weeks later he calls me up to explain to me that he
met someone. They had a “connection” and his kids love her. O yes … I exploded.
All this time he wasn’t worried about his kids, he was worried about crowd control.
And
if telling me about it wasn’t bad enough, he wanted me to meet his new
girlfriend too. His excuse … “You are a dear friend and you are important to
me. I want her to meet the important people in my life.” Sure let her meet your
mother and why not throw in your ex too. I told him I didn’t have time for this
drama and forgot about it. Until a few weeks later on the running track that
is. I put my music on and started my warming up power walk when someone tapped
me on the shoulder. There Mr. unavailable was with his girlfriend. “Hi this is
(let’s call her) Jane. Jane this is Conny, one of my friends I wanted you to
meet.” And he ran off.
And then you expect me to stay calm and be nice righ …
