strip club, 4th of july and herpes
This online date was a winner. But then again so am I. We met on the 4th of July at a seafood restaurant in San Francisco’s Fisherman Wharf. It took us awhile to find each other because of the crowds of tourists…and the fact that I was in the wrong restaurant! After I realized that we were meeting in the restaurant right next door (!), I greeted him with an apology and a smile. If you don’t know me personally, my head is up in the clouds sometimes because I think life is so beautiful and awe inspiring. This leaves small details like restaurant locations and tax deadlines to be glimpsed over at times. I call it being blissfully unaware. Most call it being a blond ditz (though I have black hair!).
Back to online date #345. We had an excellent meal, then went on a cruise around the bay. Fun!!! Drinks, fireworks, us sing “Born in the USA” while the German tourists laughed at us. Good times. He was a smart, handsome, super clean cut, blond older guy (maybe 45?) who thought I was witty and gorgeous. Talk about a great online dating experience! We walked and talked some more, holding hands, deciding what to do next. Strip club? Sure why not. (Before everyone goes all crazy it was my idea. I had never been and after being practically a SAINT while I was married w/ kids I wanted to see what the big deal was.) I, of course, made friends w/ the strippers who were trying to get us into the Champagne Room, and couldn’t believe that they charge 9 bucks for Gatorade. I was also very impressed by the dexterity of the goth girl working the pole to heavy metal. Not the point of this post though.
We left the strip club (shot out to Bambi!) and had one more drink at a posh hotel lounge. HIS posh hotel lounge. Online date #345 thought he was gettin’ some. But, oh, dear reader, he wasn’t. Especially after he told me he had herpes. Now, before you get all up in arms, herpes is very common, and I think carries a stigma to it that isn’t well deserved. My online date was honest with me that he had this and I was very appreciative and had an open heart that he shared his vulnerability with me. But dude, you hang out with me for 5 hours, tell me you have herpes (which can be spread even with condom use), and are surprised when this beautiful awesome woman who could have anyone her little heart desires (well, except for maybe my nerdy crush who seems oblivious to me!) isn’t willing to give up the goods? (and “goods” they are ladies, remember that!)
So really, herpes didn’t destroy my great date, my online date destroyed my awesome online date with expectations. The moral of the story? Just because a cute guy takes you to a strip club doesn’t mean you have to give up the goods. Buy him a lap dance instead. Lesson learned.

I LOL’d! I thought I had been on more internet dates than just about anyone else, but you may have me beat! This was a great story (in a depressing, hilarious sort of way). I loved the strip club–good for you! I can definitely relate. I dated a guy online who “forgot” to tell me that he had chlamydia and managed to give it to me even with protection. How do you leave out that important detail?
I’ll be putting a link to your blog on mine. Thanks for sharing!

Seems to me if you were all that you wouldn’t still be on the market. BTW, read up on herpes. You sound amazingly uneducated and shallow. Oh, you are blogging, hence you get paid to post nonsense.
I really enjoy this theme youve got going on on your web page. What is the name of the design by the way? I was thinking of using this style for the internet site I am going to make for my school project.

Interesting , how do I use this?
This is very fascinating, Youre a very professional blogger. Ive joined your rss feed and look ahead to in quest of more of your excellent post. Additionally, Ive shared your website in my social networks!
some genuinely tremendous work on behalf of the owner of this website , utterly outstanding content .
Throughout the grand design of things you get a B- for effort and hard work. Exactly where you actually misplaced everybody was in the details. You know, people say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be much more true at this point. Having said that, permit me inform you precisely what did work. The text is actually rather powerful and that is possibly the reason why I am taking the effort in order to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, despite the fact that I can easily notice a jumps in reasoning you make, I am not really confident of how you seem to connect the ideas which inturn make your final result. For the moment I will subscribe to your issue but hope in the future you connect the facts better.
