Tre, Trois, Trifecta.......Date #3!!!!!!!!!

Ok...what a way to end Week 2 folks...with a date! And this one is almost too good for words...but before I set the scene and talk about the guy I must tell you how Date #3 even came to be (ahh...think I rhymed a little). So I met Date #3 at work....yup...at work. I actually met him about a week ago where we made a little small talk and he proceeded to give me his take on how shallow LA women are....ughh...not this song and dance again. I saw him again today and after a little meaningless chit chat his wandering gaze stopped to focus on my other 'set of eyes' to ask me if I was interested in meeting him for coffee a little later. Not wanting to disappoint you I said what the hell and agreed to a coffee/drink date with him. Ahhh....now its time to get to the 'piece de resistance'!

The Guy
So let's all revisit World History for a second. There was an infamous man whose namesake we still use to this day to refer to a 'certain' type of man and this also just happens to be the best moniker I can think of for Date #3.....you guessed it...Napoleon. I also couldn't resist adding a short (no pun intended) description from Wikipedia just to make sure you get it:

[In 1908 psychologist Alfred Adler cited Napoleon to describe an inferiority complex where short people adopt an overaggressive behavior to compensate for lack of height; this inspired the term Napoleon complex.[152] The stock character of Napoleon is a comically short "petty tyrant" and this has become a cliché in popular culture.]

So on the outside Napoleon was a nice little package...maybe a smidge shorter than me..but his redeeming quality was his nicely formed chest and arms, his interesting accent, and his ability to put up with my sometimes sassy sense of humor. Nice Delts + Nice Pecs + Accent - Height Deficit = Possibility. Ok....on to the scene and a little more of Napoleon sans the Dynamite.

The Scene
We met at The Grove which is a popular outdoor mall/farmer's market/good spot with lots of people, noise, and lights just in case he's a lunatic. I meet Napoleon in front of a popular spot and the minute I see him he informs me that he tried to use his credit/debit card at the cute little restaurant/lounge spot right next to us but was told that the card didn't work because the "expiration" date had passed. Hmmmm.......I am all about giving the benefit of the doubt in situations but after I got a look at the card and that the expiration date clearly stated 7/13, I began to wonder if "expiration date" was a new code word for "declined". I decided to go with the flow and tell him not to worry about it but Napoleon just couldn't let it go...I lost count how many times he said he was pissed about the whole ordeal. At his urging we walked a few minutes to a coffee spot not too far away so that he could try it again. We get in line, order our drinks, and I sit and wait for him in the corner......a few minutes later he's walking towards me...empty handed. Regardless of the total or the date for that matter...looks like the card was still "expired" wink..wink ;). Being the good sport that I am we sat outside and attempted to get know each other a little better......

All I can say is that Napoleon lived up to his moniker by expressing his disdain for meeting women in LA, comparing LA women to women in other parts of the country, complaining, and of course how his main focus and goal is $$$$$. Thank god two firetrucks pulled up at the right moment (A million thanks to the LAFDP and the Universe) as this was a perfect opportunity to play the "curious" i.e..let's go see what's going on card and end the tragedy of this evening with no beverage. Turns out the only fire at The Grove was the one at my feet because they were burning up ready to leave!! Napoleon got my parking ticket validated and walked me to my car as I casually asked him where he was parked.....are you ready for this one....my little wee Frenchman arrived at our meeting spot sans vehicle and NO I did not offer to take him home! To think I could have been at home enjoying a bottle of 2 buck chuck and watching the premier of Rachel Zoe or that new A&E show Hoarders. Tonight I took one for the team....

Well folks....my plan was to share some tips from my latest Buru, Guiliana Ranic, from "Think Like a Guy...How to Get a Guy by Thinking Like One" but this was just too good folks...too good so look for tips soon!

Stay Tuned.....Only 97 dates to go!!!!
