Online Dating Vol. 2 and my 100th Post!

by Liz on June 25, 2009 · 86 comments

in My Anniversaries, My Awards, bad boys, i am addicted to blogging, online dating, relationships, thanks, weekends

Hey lovely banana’s!! (If you haven’t read Online Dating Vol One…click here. And consider yourself a banana!)

Sooo….it’s my 100th post! Insert fireworks/explosives/cupcakes yay! I can’t wait for my next 100 posts. Blogging has impacted my life so much, in such a short time. I’m so blessed to have met so many fabulous people, and I thank you all for reading, supporting, sharing, following, commenting, lurking, stalking, whatever! I hope that my blog is as fun for you as it is for me.

So who’s in the mood for a little online dating update? Hmmm??

I haven’t met anyone in person yet, because navigating through the mass douchie emails is so much WORK! However, I have narrowed it down to THREE fellows I’m going to tear apart for your pleasure this evening. I aim to please.

Oh yeah…and online dating is making me feel like a dirty little phone fun haver! I talked to 3 guys tonight! I should start charging! Not…really.
1) The hot drummer from Online Dating Volume One. Ok. So, he’s definitely used to girls dropping trow when he walks in a room. Not me. He has yet to properly ask me out for drinks/coffee/drinks. But, he spent hours researching a gift for my dad for Fathers Day, etc. So, until he mans up and asks me out, I will continue to flirt with him shamelessly via text and late night phone calls because there is definitely a connection.
2) The probable/standard Orange County Douchebag/Bro. Hottie, lives by the beach and in every picture has a beer in hand…and he has almost 20 pictures. RING THE ALARM. Not looking to repeat the relationship I just got out of. He’s also 34, divorced and lives with a roommate. Talked to him on the phone and he said “yeah brahhhh” a few times. Ok…pass?
3) The Surprise. “T” works in marketing and advertising like me, is 30, just bought his own condo and made me laugh hysterically on the phone tonight. Anywho..insta-butterflies. All of a sudden we had been on the phone for 2 hours! Easy conversation, tons in common, his pictures are SUPER CUTE, he was refreshing, and I hung up the phone with him feeling like I might be onto something…
Both #2 and #3 have asked me to meet up next week, and I really hope hot drummer boy does too. We shall see…thoughts? Comments? Concerns?
The sweetest Miss Eve at Absolutely Ladylike spent hours creating the most fabulous new blog awards. She even did one inspired by me!! I’m so flattered, beyond belief. You know how I call you all my Dolls…well here it is, and I am passing it on to all of you! Take it, Dolls!
P.S. My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of both Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. I am truly devastated…he was the soundtrack to my life and she a style-and hair- icon. I was torn between blogging about this tonight however I have already seen so many tributes that have done it better than I could. R.I.P.

Happy Weekend!! Besos and lots of love…XOXO, Liz
Enter. My. Giveaway. if you haven’t already!

Oh my banana!!
I love hearing about your dating adventure!
I like the sound of #1 and #3 especially 3!! Can't wait to hear about the date!
Number 2 though.. definitely some alarm bells are ringing. 34 and already divorced… you don't need his baggage from his marriage and any crap the ex wife is bringing. Still meet him yes, but just remember he is divorced for a reason!!
(Thats a big judgmental of me! woops)
good luck babe
xxxxxxxx

2 Al June 26, 2009 at 2:11 am

i vote bachelor number 3 :)

3 Victoria June 26, 2009 at 2:59 am

#3 sounds perfect! Go for it! :)

xx

4 Keith June 26, 2009 at 4:47 am

Hey Liz. I love reading about your online adventures. Keep those posts coming. I think #1 and #3 sound the best. Probably #3. Have a great weekend. Cheers!

5 Tiffany June 26, 2009 at 4:50 am

love the summaries, keep them coming! "yeah brahhhh" makes me laugh!

can't wait to hear about next week!

6 Miss Eve June 26, 2009 at 5:26 am

LOL, I'm happy you like the award Liz :-)
Michael Jackson yes it's so sad I know…I loved his music so much (at least we still have that)…
Have great weekend dear, much love: Evi

7 Underfunded Heiress June 26, 2009 at 5:45 am

Congrats on you award!

#3 sounds awesome!!!! Not sure about the "brahhh" guy. I hate when guys talk about that. Does the bear in every pic guy live on the penisula too (oh no – partier!). Well, it sounds like your going to have some fun dates, yay!

8 RCaitlin June 26, 2009 at 5:50 am

Wow #3 sounds great :) . Definitely meet up with both thought! Your post made me crack up. Thanks so much for your comment!

9 josie(bean) June 26, 2009 at 5:52 am

#3 all the way! "insta-butterflies" seem so rare nowadays, so i really hope this guy works out :D plus, ive never heard of a shy musician anyways, so if #1 hasnt had the balls to ask you out yet then he's not worth the hassle. either way, live it up lady!!

10 E.K. June 26, 2009 at 6:02 am

Happy 100!

11 Lyryn June 26, 2009 at 6:03 am

Thanks for your sweet comment. It's an honor to be told that I am a beautiful writer by such an amazing blogger! Thank you! And good luck with the online dating! I'm sure you'll find someone special! ;)

12 Couture Carrie June 26, 2009 at 6:09 am

Congrats on 100, darling!
My only sage advice on online dating: be sure you talk on the phone before you meet…

xoxox,

13 brooke June 26, 2009 at 6:27 am

ooohhh…i am so excited for you…for #one and three…eh not so much about #two…but you got to do what feels natural and right to you miss lady!

hope your weekend is absolutely fabulous…and i am working on trying to get a "hairto" goin…yes indeed!

14 drollgirl June 26, 2009 at 6:34 am

i like the sound of #3!!!

and i am so glad you did not do a post on mj or ff. there are about 14 scrillion posts up as tribute. enough. we all know. we all get it. gsus!!!

hope you have a fab day and a killer weekend!!!

15 Bella June 26, 2009 at 6:42 am

Oooh, I love these juicy little dating escapades! And I'm thinking dating-dude #3 sounds like he might be a good fit. But babe, you crack me up: "dirty little phone fun haver"… too funny!

Hope all is well, miss you love.

16 Dream Sequins June 26, 2009 at 6:44 am

A lot to take in there! Well:

(1) Congratulations on reaching 100! Woo hoo!

(2) This is how I predict it's going to go down– drummer dude is going to text ask you out– he's the no commitment guy who's hot because he doesn't have to work for it. You may go out with Bachelor 3 because he seems like the safe bet. Maybe there will be chemistry, maybe not. There will definitely be drunk texting with Drummer Dude after the date though. LOL.
Keep us posted!!!

(3) RIP Michael and Farrah.

17 Amber June 26, 2009 at 6:52 am

Congrats on 100 posts! I wrote my 100th yesterday and didn't even realize it!

I looove hearing about dating adventures. #1 sounds a little too smooth and sure of himself and #2 is definitely passable… but oh that #3 sounds like he might just be worth getting to know. Good luck and keep us posted!

18 Jillian June 26, 2009 at 7:16 am

nice to see the online dating is going "well" so far hehehehe…seemed to have picked 3 "different" genre of men…that's good..can't wait to see the results of the meet-ups!

and yes thanks for not posting another MJ tribute…no offense I am a fan…just MJ overload….

and Happy 100 and have a great weekend!!

19 Children of the Nineties June 26, 2009 at 7:52 am

Congrats on the 100th post! That's so great!

I love all of your online dating adventure posts because I met my boyfriend through it and I'm totally rooting for you. Keep us updated! :)

20 Aritza, Goddess of .. June 26, 2009 at 7:56 am

Hey banana-doll,

Somehow I hadn't read Volume One, but I have now and I'm definetly feeling this Drummer Boy. Manners are a good sign. If only men had manners when it comes to taking care of our hearts :)

Congrats on your 100th post !! Amazing !

Ciao Love !

21 mylittlebecky June 26, 2009 at 8:03 am

#1 keep it up, make em work for you.

#2 see if he'll take you out for "steak and lob, duuude!" ahahaha! not really, needs to be shorter with an excellent escape route, like you mentioned, coffee (smart!). i find drinks harder to get out of transitioning, i'm bad at saying no. bad.

#3 sounds good! "all of the sudden" two hours? all signs point to maybeeeee! and also, oooooo! :)

ps you have a good weekend lady! also? if this doesn't make sense, it's because i'm sick. sniffle :)

22 Whitney June 26, 2009 at 8:09 am

Congrats on 100! I'm going to go back and read Vol1 and then come back to Vol2!

23 Gabbi June 26, 2009 at 8:35 am

Happy 100th! All three sound interesting :) Looking forward to hearing more about it… ♥

24 Dooder City June 26, 2009 at 8:36 am

Anyone who says 'brah' needs to be punched in the face. Hahaha how terrible do I sound. BUT there is no room for brah in the dictionary. Also a guy a has a photo of him drinking beer in every photo reminds me of A. The loser at the party that gets too drink and then ends up hitting on you (he thinks) but he is really poking his sweaty chest at you and spitting into your drink.

Go out on a date with guy #3!

25 Kristin June 26, 2009 at 8:42 am

Oh WOW! This is my first stop over here at your blog, and I love it!!

Dating adventures are always a good thing to chat about. I think it's hilarious about the banana.

Great blog. Good luck with the boys!!

26 Marjorie June 26, 2009 at 8:52 am

I just have to share my story to make you feel a little more optimistic. I met my husband on a popular dating site. He was the first (and only) guy I met in person after a string of less than witty one-liners from other guys (nothing quite like your "banana" fella though). We met on April Fools Day, fell in love on our second date (I'm not kidding), began planning our wedding immediately, and were married exactly 5 months to the day after our first date. This August we'll celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. So keep your sense of humor, block the weirdos, and give the nice guys/geeks a chance. My new theory is that you date the rockers but marry the nerds. A nerd/nice guy will adore you for the rest of your life! Keep us posted!!!

27 Ali June 26, 2009 at 10:33 am

I'm partial to #3. He's got my vote thus far.

Um, cuppycake…tomorrow! Talk about insta-butterflies! Hahahaha…eee!!

28 Hanako66 June 26, 2009 at 10:34 am

congrats on 100!!!! (my next post is the big hundo too!)

#3 is sounding pretty good…..#1 needs to get it together……and stay far, far away from #2. ummmmm, plus I think that you subconsciously named him #2 for a reason lol.

so excited!!! xo

29 LENORENEVERMORE June 26, 2009 at 10:45 am

oooh…Hope to hear more vol…
100th?! Now you are really old babe…heee!
Fab weekend~ XO*

30 Mrs EyeCanSee June 26, 2009 at 10:56 am

Well 100 posts in and I've just found your blog. Hilarious! I found the Mr. through match.com and have my share of online dating horror stories. I am also a HUGE mean girls fan and totally laughed at the quote in your side bar. And I've recently become obsessed with MoroccanOil Curl cream so I will have to check out your giveaway. Oh! And if you couldn't tell, you'll defintly be getting a new follower. Toodles doll!

31 The Socialite June 26, 2009 at 12:33 pm

Congrats on the 100th post! wooooo-hoooo!

Love your online dating updates! haha…I like #3. By the sounds of it T* most definitely sounds intriguing – I'm crossing my fingers. The OC brahhhh guy just doesn't seem up to par. Although quick drinks and laughs could be momentarily fun? ;)

Have a great weekend!

32 Kellie June 26, 2009 at 12:34 pm

I'm liking the sounds of #1 and #3 but #2??? No way. He sounds like a tool bag. "Yeah braaaa" Um… no thanks. Me thinks you can do much better! :)

Happy Friday luvah!

xoxo

33 Melissa June 26, 2009 at 12:39 pm

There are so many douches out there, they should wear a sign. Yeah Brahhh sounds like a no go, but the cutie that helped you pick out a daddy's day gift sounds sweet. Hope he packs up the courage to ask you out directly…best of luck for you Girly!

I'm sad about the Michael Jackson and Ferra news, they will be missed.

Have a beautiful Cali weekend!

34 Erienne June 26, 2009 at 12:46 pm

Happy 100th!! YAY!

As for the fellas…I say #3 sounds like a winner!!! Surfer boy sounds like a douche who drinks too much (not the way to go!) He seems like the kind of guy who would put himself first, always. Though #1 seemed like a winner (and being a hot drummer boy doesn't hurt) if he hasn't grown a pair by now and asked you out…I say move on! A guy with his own condo, makes you laugh, and has bunches in common with your lovely self sounds like a major winner.

Can't wait to hear more updates ; )

Hope all is well my dear!

RIP MJ and Farrah….

35 Dexter June 26, 2009 at 12:54 pm

I haven't visited for a few days by now, so I had to read some of your earlier posts (NYC) as well. That city must be a lot of fun!

As for this post, well, #2 sound like a dream lol :D #3 sound very promising, good luck!

36 down and out chic June 26, 2009 at 1:01 pm

not #2…seriously. have fun though and i can't wait to hear all about it. congrats on post 100, you are doing fantastic (obviously).
thank you for leaving me such a sweet, uplifting comment. i'm glad we're bloggie friends too:)

37 Allison June 26, 2009 at 1:18 pm

Alright, so the third one sounds like the best option. i'm looking for financial stability here…you're not going to be a sugar mamma.
i'm glad you're having fun with it!!

wish you the best of luck!

38 Iva June 26, 2009 at 1:47 pm

Happy 100th. not #2. Have a great weekend!

39 Lily G. June 26, 2009 at 1:55 pm

Definitely #3 for sure! Sounds like you guys hit it off already through the phone. Keep us updated!

40 inkOBSESSIONdesigns June 26, 2009 at 2:23 pm

Congrats on your 100th post! I'm so glad I found your blog . . . I love reading along! :)

41 Sarah Lynn June 26, 2009 at 2:28 pm

I would go with either one or three…two sounds like a tool. Congrats!

42 OceanDreams June 26, 2009 at 2:31 pm

I would say #2 not so much, #1 needs to ask you out, and #3 sounds amazing…can't wait to hear what happens!! Have a wonderful weekend darling banana!

43 Lisa June 26, 2009 at 2:55 pm

Love your online dating posts! I'd say #1 or #3..not so sure about #2. Can't wait to read about how they all unfold. :)

Have a great weekend!!

44 Chessa! June 26, 2009 at 5:29 pm

happy 100th! you're as old as Edward Cullen now:) wee!

ok, my assessment is as follows:

1. definitely has potential and he sounds sweet. plus, he's a drummer. that's hot.

2. negative. this guy needs to get the boot. I generally prefer guys (when I was dating) to not call me "brahh" and I'm not a fan of Miller Lite. Just sayin'…I know that may sound obnoxious but I'm much more of a Sam Adams gal. In fact, any guy who drinks light beer has to go and while you didn't specially SAY that he's a light beer drinker if he's 34, divorced and has a roomate (ew) then he probs drinks Coors Light. Am I judging? You bet I am. can't help it. NEXT!

3. I'm totally intrigued and want to hear more. more. more.

xoxo

45 S.Elisabeth June 26, 2009 at 6:02 pm

I was in stitches when I read the first post. A banana, really?!
Hmm I like #3. Number #1 is either really shy (possibly doubtful?) or a douchebag and I wouldn't waste my time with #2!

46 Kristin June 26, 2009 at 6:22 pm

#3 yessssssss, #1 maybe and #2 ewwwwwwwwww. And you are cute as a banana.

47 Eden June 26, 2009 at 6:59 pm

oh E, congratulations, and much love, on your 100th post! i LOVE your blog, and i have been visiting it since day one of my discovery. you are lovely and fun, like the gal everyone wants to be BFFs with! kudos for that:)

and yes. bachelor number 3 takes the cake! wish you the best on your upcoming date:)

much love

54 Rita June 26, 2009 at 10:44 pm

Ooh, number three sounds veeerryy interesting, hehe. I would definitely give that one a shot, not sure about the other two. Wish you the best, and hope you find the greatest guy there could be for you!

57 E.K. June 27, 2009 at 6:59 am

The next bf you have better thank his lucky stars, any girl that says "wine and Dawn of the Dead tonight" is a catch! ;)

Numero uno sounds fun and mysterious! #2 Approach with CAUTION!!!!! And 3 sounds like a doll! I say you go on all dates and have fun lady. I adore reading about your dating life, I am living vicariously through you. Lame of me, I know this. Tonight I am meeting a potential… I will let you know more soon :)

64 XANABIOTICX June 27, 2009 at 11:46 am

oh, gosh. i'm spoiled for choices. lol!

65 MizzJ June 27, 2009 at 12:34 pm

Eee I love these juicy dating stories, keep em coming haha! Here's my 2 bits:

#1: this guy sounds lazy b/c he might be a bit too aware of his hotness. Play hard to get with this one if you want to reel him in, but then again do you want to have to always compete with the groupies? Sure he might be sweet and have substance, but it takes a man awhile to figure out when to settle down.

#2: ew, don't go there. Sounds like a douche. And what if he's so "laidback" he forgets his wallet on your date?!

#3: Hello potential! Convos like that are rare, def meet him!

66 Savvy Mode SG June 27, 2009 at 12:57 pm

easy conversation is def a good sign. bakc in the days i have met guys with most wonderful resumes only to be so disappointed when i couldn't drink that cup of scalding hot coffee fast enough. good luck and have a wonderful weekend.

67 kelly June 27, 2009 at 2:05 pm

76 Kristin June 28, 2009 at 1:44 pm

I hope we get an update tomorrow! See how I'm living vicariously through your exciting single girl in the city life?

77 Allison June 28, 2009 at 4:08 pm

Gorgeous! So exciting about all these potentials…hmmm, #2 sounds like a tool, especially with the beer in hand pictures. Hello, frat boy much? #3 sounds amazing – I think it's great that you both clicked and were able to talk for so long! It is hard to resist someone you have so much chemistry with (as in the case of the drummer).
And congrats on your 100th post, my dear! I hope for many more posts to come, I just adore you.

78 freeteyme June 28, 2009 at 4:17 pm

I heart NYC! I've been missing a lot on your posts – the online dating, the 100th post – congratulations!… Anyway and most important of all – THANK YOU SO MUCH! for everything girl =) I'm not good with words but I want you to know that I do feel lucky to meet such a wonderful doll as you! Btw, that fabulous doll award is so you and so well deserved! Have a great week ahead!!!

Congrats on your 100th and I think that look on your is FABULOUS! I am entering the give away as well!

83 Style Porn July 1, 2009 at 7:48 pm

Wow, it's crazy. You're the third person besides me who celebrated their 100th post last week. Cuh-razy.

Anyway, I love hearing about your online dating adventures, because, in the words of Lo Bosworth, "I love passing judgement on people." Please god tell me you know who Lo Bosworth is.

84 kathleen July 2, 2009 at 12:29 pm

I vote for #3, but feel I should continue reading… A plot twist might be in store for your readers.

85 Tiffani July 2, 2009 at 4:06 pm

I met my boyfriend on a dating website! At the time i started talking to him, i was "online dating"…oh, a bunch of guys. He was different though(like your #3). He made me giggle and always pursued me first. After a month of texting, he still hadn't asked me out. So, I thought he was a p*ssy! I'm agggrrrrrrrrrressive. I felt we had a connection and so I asked him out. It's been over 2 years now and I love him and our life together!!

Good luck…I hope you don't meet any weirdos!

86 S. September 8, 2009 at 11:21 am

You have to keep investigating this connection with the last guy! Sounds like someone good to Start Love with! But, make sure this guy really is who he says he is. That's the biggest heartbreak when it comes to internet dating. People get so far into the online dating that by the time they have the courage to meet in person everything can be ruined if that person turns out to be a creep or just immature! I say if you feel a connection, try not to delay the meeting for too long.
