Damn You Facebook!!!!!

So I must digress from my mission of 100 Dates for a moment as I sit here in a small state of SHOCK. Ok....so for all of you Sex and The City fans remember the episode when Carrie was at a Fourth of July party in the Hamptons and bumps into Big and finds out that he met someone while he was away on business in Paris?? Now fast forward to the other episode where they decide to bury the hatchet and maintain their "friendship" and Carrie learns over lunch that Big is a lot more serious than what she thought....i.e... he was engaged?!!?!??! Well..I just had a little Fourth of July/Bury the Hatchet moment of my own folks....and who or what is to blame do you ask.....boredom, Facebook, and a little red wine on a Saturday night! Yes...just discovered that a guy that I dated in NYC..on and off, off and on, off then on, for about 3 years in NYC is now MARRIED. The quintessential bachelor that I never thought even knew how to spell the word let alone do the deed is married. A big F***ing thanks goes out to Facebook for allowing me to bear witness to countless status updates and wall postings and well wishes from friends and family...can we say TMI??? Hmmm guess there is something to that catchy book turned blockbuster movie, "He's Just Not That Into You" which also just happens to be my Buru of the moment:

Rule #7: He's Just Not That Into You If He Doesn't Want to Marry You........

Damn you Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo...........you are so right on.

3 months, 2 weeks, 4 days and 94 dates to go....ahhhh..where's my big clock???? [refer to last post to explain "Big Clock"]

Two Cities, a Gnome, and a Little Frenchman walk into a bar......

As I sit at the cusp of Date #5 watching my deluxe version of Sex and The City the Movie for the 100th time, I thought it would be a good time to do a little reflection and give a few updates for inquiring minds that want to know. Ahhh...so let's take a look back:

Bachelor #1, "Mr. Windy City"
Mr. Windy City was a seemingly normal, average, nice guy, just passed the 4-0 finish line.......with a Roommate......NEXT.

Bachelor #2, "Nawlins"
Nawlins had a slight Southern charm and actually exceeded my initial expectations based on the fact that he suggested we meet at an empty mall for our first date. Ahhh....but in this case...city mouse trumps country mouse. Guess I'd rather experience 'New Orleans' on an actual trip to Louisiana. Moving on....

Bachelor #3, "Napoleon"
Ahhh Napoleon......words really escape me on this one...well kinda. Small guy wearing a big ego suit, the "expired" credit card fiasco, and the laminated bus card (well I'm being a tad dramatic but you get the point!). To make matters even more interesting Napoleon called me a few times this weekend, hmmmm....I can think of a million ways to say "NO": Iya (Japanese), Bukan (Malaysian), Bu Shi (Mandrin), Inehi (Zambia), and my personal favorite..Hell to the NO (Whitney Houston and urbandictionary.com)!

Bachelor #4, "The Roaming Gnome"
Jury is still out on The Gnome...I think. While I didn't feel sparks and butterflies during our date he had a lot of great qualities and may be worth revisiting. This one's for a certain friend living down under...you know who you are ;+).

As much as I wanted to kick back and relax a little this weekend I felt rather inclined to scour the city for dates and as a result I've got 4 pending as we head into Week 4!!! Time to step it up as love waits for no one!! Stay tuned....
