Talked to a guy from JDate on the phone last night (D). He was very nice, and earnest, and rambles even more than me! We chatted for a bit, then agreed to meet on the corner of X&Y street Saturday afternoon at 2:30. I originally suggested 2, but he had lunch plans, and said he didn't mean to be difficult, but would 2:30 work, because he hated to be late. Then we got into a discussion about how we're both always early to stuff, and he said the last time he flew back from a business trip he was so early he got bumped from a 6 p.m. to a 4:30 p.m. flight. Nice! I thought that was pretty funny in light of my thoughts on Z getting to the airport. Anyway, so he suggested meeting on the corner, and I teased, "well, is there a particular spot you want to meet at, because, you know, there are four corners." He said, "I can make this easy for you in one of two ways. 1) We meet in front of Jamba Juice." "Sounds good," I interjected, but he continued, "Or 2) I'll be the guy with one arm."
My heart dropped. Not sure what to say next, I paused.
"My other arm is in a sling." Turns out he'd injured himself trail running recently. Whew! Scared me. So, we'll see how it goes! Either I'll have a good story, or I'll feel guilty for having posted about a guy I actually like.
Also on deck: a cute and intriguing photojournalist, and a guy in a band.

Drunk I Love You's
Latest email I got on Match:
Hey,
How are you? What is your name? Do you believe in drunk "I love you's"? Just was wondering because some one I knew told this to a friend (girl) and she believed it. I think this is not being true and I'm really disappointed that the girl believed him.
Anywho, I moved to SF last year from [blah blah blah neurological diseases]. What do you do? How long have you been in SF? I very VERY much like this city. There is so much to do!!
Would you like to meet up for drinks this weekend?
Just let me know!
Um, WHAT? Do you believe in drunk I love you's? Nope, but you make me believe in the Delete button on my email. Drinks this weekend? Tempting, but I'm gonna have to go with "no."

Hey Sweety
More totally impersonal emails! Hurray!
Got this one over the weekend:
Subject: Hey sweety
I loved your profile, you came across like a Rock star :) with awesome style
A little bit classy and a little bit fun, nice to see that you girls are still out there K: oh and did i mention I'm totally awesome? Me: and, yet, too cheap to pay for a full membership K: yeah but seriously you will totally love them so it doesn't matter Me: obviously! K: and they are so awesome their tiny profile pic on their myspace page will be enough Me: lol right! K: seriously...he won't pay for a memebership and his myspace is private. wtf? Me: but he is AWESOME, dont forget K: that's right sweetie Me: i mean, if i met him in a bar, we'd be friends by the end of the night K: oh i'm sure you would...not to mention if i was with you i would love him too! Janet: well, for sure! K: yeah just a little bit Janet: you'd probably leave [R, her husband] for him, and we'd fight over him K: and that all comes back to him being just being his awseome vintage self Janet: lol! K: lol yeah! Janet: ha, i think i should post this conversation on my blog K: seriously!
So I did. :)

I never thought that I would do something like this but I guess its just the quality of people that I have been meeting lately, have been missing that
something specail....that spark*
Okay so a bit about me
I'm confident and dress well
Love any kind of live live theater and jazz, well just live music in
general, I'm an old soul kind of guy, vintage taste,
The kind of person to walk up to a group of people I've never met before and be everyones friend by the end of the night
I've always been a fan of women with something to say, and you totally sound like you got a library full of interesting comments
since I'm only doing the three days trial thing I decided not to post a pic, but if you've gotten this far and want to see what I look like here is my myspace link
it's set to private (I perform in the city a lot when I'm not in school, the setting helps keep the weird o's at bay:) but if you like what you see in the title pic and dont have myspace I'd be happy to send you a few more
either way have a rad weekend :)

Another Choice Email
Gotta love the personal effort some of these guys make.
Hey Cutie! My name is Brett and after reading your brief essays, profile and seeing your pics you are definitely someone I would like to get to know. I like that you are intelligent, independent and secure with yourself.
To summarize everything about me; I am arrogant, overbearing, obsessive and I have no idea how to balance my personal and professional life, so when do you want to meet (just kidding) : )
I am sure we both agree that looks and physique are important as well. On that note, take a look at my profile and let me know your thoughts...
Cheers,
B
Could you BE any more generic (/Chandler)? Love that last line about looks and physique being important. I'm not going to check out his profile, because I already know enough about his PERSONALITY.

Or Not
Emailed the guy from the last post, and never heard back. Oh well - honestly I could have gone either way and kind of thought he'd be better off with a more hipster-type girl.
Just re-signed up for Match after letting that membership lapse. Hopefully I'll have some good dates, or some good material. Here's my favorite email so far:
Well here is my story.....I'm moving to NorCal in May I'm from Redondo Beach Ca, moved to Phoenix 4 yrs ago and decided that Arizona is not for me. I'm athletic, handsome very fit love to play Hockey, softball and go to the gym(I want to be huge).....LOL.... I'm 42 but nobody ever thinks I'm that old....Lucky I guess(have my mother's skin) I always get "What are you 32-33" I have a great sense of humor and I'm very outgoing!!!!!!!! I love kids, animals (never had my own but have helped raise 2 boys)...Never married but not because I'm afraid of commitment got close twice(will explain if you must know) I'm loyal honest, and very REAL!!!!!!!!! try and find that on this site...lol....I have two dogs that are my kids I guess, Shitzu's...YES SHITZU's...and I'm all man...hehehe....Well thats a little about me, Oh forgot, I get along great with other peoples parents...lol....So yes you can introduce me to your family!!!!!!! So if you like bald guys that are fit, funny, sexy and look like Vin Diesel or Daughrty..hehehe...then I hope to hear from you!!!!!!
Not a chance, buddy. But good luck "getting huge!" I'm sure there's a girl out there who likes 42-year-old guys who are afraid of commitment and have to tell you how handsome they are, but I am certainly not her.
