OT....It's funny now...
 
but it wasn't yesterday.
I recently met a guy that I thought might be "worth"
getting to know. He called me Saturday and asked me
if I wanted to meet him Sunday afternoon as he was in
a bean bag tournament. I figured why not so I went.
Let me just say I wasn't the only one he called.
There were 4 other women there too!!!!!!
I couldn't believe it.
I brought a girlfriend with me so at least I wasn't alone.
We stayed for about 30 minutes and left.
We went to a bar to have a drink and watch the game.
Wouldn't you know it, here he comes and 3 of the women too.
Now I'm thinking these are some serious red flags!!!!!!
I basically ignored him and he kept calling me on my cell phone
as we were on opposite sides of the bar.
Finally he left to go with a group of people to a friends to play pool.
He called me from there and asked if I was coming to play pool.
Yeah right, I'm right on that.....
What is wrong with people?
I am laughing my head off about it now.... but yesterday.....
let's just say it was interesting, glad I found out early into it... :c002:

lol Throw that fish back! Was he trying to start a harem? What is a bean bag tournament by the way?

megamysterioso 03-20-2006 07:48 AM

Hi Patty and yikes! In fairness to him though, are you sure they weren't his sisters or something? If they weren't, I guess he is keeping his options way open isn't he? LOL. I wouldn't want a part of that game either.

Bean Bag Tournament???
You throw bean bags into holes in a slanted piece of plywood...
Kind of childish when you think about it.....
LOL now it all makes sense...

A harem??? LOL he's not even that good looking, he was lucky I
gave him the time of day!!!!!

It will be interesting to see if he calls me again...more interesting
what he will say..........can hardly wait....NOT!!!!

Bean bag tournament? We're heading into whole new Red Flag territory there, I reckon.

pmaslan 03-20-2006 07:53 AM

No Mega not his sisters ...well if they were then he has a whole new set of issues!!!!

He said he didn't think all of the women would show up.......
Sounds like a man that won't take any chances of ending up alone!!!!!!
Hope the last woman standing at the end of the night was worth it!!!! LOL

pmaslan 03-20-2006 07:55 AM

Minnie that's what I thought!!!!!

Let's grow up please!!!!! LOL

Can't just say it was a bunch of men acting like boys
there were some women in the tourney too!!!!
Go figure

megamysterioso 03-20-2006 07:56 AM

Oh yeah-- red flags all over the place. My first hubby used to play D & D (I know LOL) a lot and at first I thought it was "harmless fun" and sort of nerdy-cutesy. Yeah right.

ROFL!!!!! How many times have I said that?

pmaslan 03-20-2006 09:01 AM

I have a feeling that the last one standing has somehow gotten
a hold of my cell number....I have had 3 calls all number "withheld"
this morning...perhaps Romeo is sleeping and she is sneaking......
why oh why me........lol

sunshine003 03-20-2006 09:07 AM

eeewwwwwww!!! I don't even know what to say, I'm speechless. This sounds like college or high school or something. Patty, I'm so glad you found out now. Gosh, what if the others hadn't shown up and you went on to have a great time, went out with him alone, liked him, etc. YUCK.

pmaslan 03-20-2006 09:16 AM

Sunshine...somehow I think his true colors would have shown through
if they hadn't shown up. Anyone that invites several dates for one event
is unhinged in my book. I'm thinking I would have seen that if we were alone,
but thank god for the group date....lol just expedited everything....
(still shaking my head with a stupid grin on my face over this whole thing.)

sunshine003 03-20-2006 09:25 AM

please let us know if he actually CALLS again. I bet since you're one who doesn't want him, he'll be trying to win you over. I saw this show on tv last night (sort of like hidden camera pranks), a woman was hitting on men she found in a video store. She would talk about how good they would look together, etc. she go on and on about things you wouldn't talk about with someone you just met. Then a friend would walk up, she'd introduce them...then she'd call her mom over and say, "I think he's it, mr. right,I can just tell, blah blah blah." then a little boy walked over and she'd introduce him as her son and say, "say hi to daddy." OMG, it was so funny. one guy even said, "well where is his daddy?" she said, "who knows but it isn't my gd fault that his dad is a deat beat......." and go into that entire thing.

I went off a bit there but that story reminded me of this guy. too bad you can't pull a switcharoo on him, LOL.

oh my, there are some strange people out there.

pmaslan 03-20-2006 09:30 AM

You know I half expect him to call.....
Should be worth a laugh I'd suspect...

Sounds like a funny show you saw......maybe Mr. Romeo should
look into his own sitcom....lol

Now I remember why I hate dating....

gelfling 03-20-2006 10:09 AM

Thanks for the chuckle.

confusednlonely 03-20-2006 10:13 AM

This is too funny. he sounds like the type of guy that would call me.

pmaslan 03-20-2006 10:15 AM

No problem Kathy.....someone's got to do the dirty work...
might as well be me...LOL

pmaslan 03-20-2006 10:16 AM

Hey Confused....if you don't mind taking a number and standing in line....
I'll give you his number.....I'm sure he wouldn't mind one more in the mix....lol

gelfling 03-20-2006 10:17 AM

Yeah, but look at it this way, you're way ahead of the other chickies...you're smart.

pmaslan 03-20-2006 10:23 AM

Thanks I really appreciate you noticing that Kathy.....
However, I really wish you could have seen the 3 ring circus...
My eyes have really gotten a work out from all the rolling I have done lately....
He must really think he's the man......oh brother....(eye ball roll)
