The Hot Mess Scores a Blind Date

I felt like such a hot mess at work because I was sick. I was not going to go, but I’d rather make money and be sick rather than not make money and melt in my sickness. My eyes felt puffy from being watery and I really felt like crap. I thought I looked like crap, too. But I guess guys like a hot mess. J

I was walking around the concourse at the hockey game aimlessly. I was having a really bad day at work and I just wanted to go home. I bet people were thinking that I was crying or that I just got dumped because my eyes were puffy, or at least they felt like they were. Thank goodness for makeup! Two guys named Steve and James approached me, asking what I was giving away. I explained it to them and they immediately wanted to sign up, but they just really wanted to exchange phone numbers. My job entails me to get people’s phone numbers and 99 percent of the time it ends up with a guy saying, “Can I have yours first?” It’s getting really old, guys.

These guys were cute and had great personalities. They went to this game because Steve’s brother, Gary, bought him two tickets for his birthday. Their first questions were if I wanted a baby. Both of them are new fathers. James just had two twin girls seven weeks ago. He is single and is having problems with his Baby Mama. Steve also had a baby girl, but it was not a mistake. He is married, but was flirting with me and even said, "Where were you before I got married?" Unbelievable! This just makes me not want to get married! I'll save this for another blog. James wanted to know if I wanted kids and I said not yet. Steve was trying to convince me to get with James and started showing baby pictures of the twins. I do not want to get with a guy who already has kids and has a Baby Mama in the background. That is too much baggage! I want to reproduce my own kids on my own time!

Then we got back to talking about my giveaway. Steve wanted to sign up his brother Gary as well. He wanted me to talk to Gary on the phone to let him know that I am entering him in a contest. Steve said that I’d be good for Gary. I really didn’t want to talk on the phone, but Steve was making a great case. Steve told me that Gary is a hotter version of him, and is slimmer, built, has sandy brown hair...and has a bigger penis. Gary showed me a picture of him on his phone. It (the picture) was too small, but I liked what I saw! I also asked Steve the important questions, such as Gary's educational background, job, age, his hobbies, and residence. He passed all of them!

Gary has an apartment in PA because that is where his job is, but he also comes home during the weekends, which is about a half hour away from me. I hate PA and I will definitely talk about how much of a waste of land that state is. He travels a lot for work. Gary is still younger than me (all guys seems to be) by one year. I can never get a guy my age or older. I feel like they don’t exist. Gary also surfs and snowboards, which is great because this way we can hit the slopes! His last trip was in Colorado. Surfing is on my bucket list as well. He sounds adventurous, which is an in-demand quality in a guy! I also asked Steve if Gary is a hornball. He said that Gary is a gentleman. I told Steve that Gary has to open every door for me. He also said that Gary is like an encyclopedia and is outgoing. So far, so good!

     I wish I did not ask Steve all those questions about Gary. I feel like I already know him and it spoils the fun and curiosity. I picture Gary asking me all those questions and I won’t ask him anything because I already know the answers. Unless I just ask him questions as if I did not know the answers. But I don’t want the “interview.” What should I ask? I am not worried about it being awkward. I can talk about anything. If he brings up anything sexual, then that will be it for him.

On the phone, Steve told Gary the background information of what was going on. Steve said that he is with a hot chick who he thinks Gary should date. He said that my name is (first name) Fay. James and Steve think my first and last name is so hot. (I said my last name is Fay just because my real last name is hard to pronounce and basically everyone calls me Fay anyway.) I enjoyed talking to Gary on the phone, even though most of our conversation was “What?” We were both in very loud places. Gary was eating at a sushi restaurant. I apologized for interrupting him on his date, but he said that he was eating alone! I don’t remember what else we talked about because it was really choppy and quick. Gary said that he is a weekend guy because he travels during the week with vaccines. We agreed that Gary will call me within three days. If he doesn’t, then I’ll call Gary and assume that Steve’s drunk self failed to give him my phone number.

After we hung up, I asked Steve what he will tell Gary about me. “I’m going to tell him that you’re a beautiful girl.” His vision must have been very impaired from drinking because I am convinced that I looked like a hot mess and my work outfit is not flattering at all! But if he was telling the truth, then I am going to look like a bombshell in my normal attire when I am not sick!

Steve quizzed me, asking if I would hang out with him, his baby, his wife, brother, and me. I told him no. He said that I failed because he’s family-oriented. I do not want to meet the family on the first date! The first date should just be with me and Gary. I told Steve that I want a full blind date! I think it would be so much fun and mysterious! A major reason why I wanted a blind date was because it would be excellent blog material. For the good of the blog!
 
I am really excited about my blind date! I hope Gary calls me. I will report back within the next few days with updates.

Have you ever been on a blind date? What did you talk about? Would you ever go on a blind date?



Keepin’ it real,
