Remember how he turned me down? And how distraught I was? Well, patience is a virtue, my dears. I hoped, and it came true, that the time would come that I was able to turn him down.
And that day was Saturday night.
Let me start with Friday night, when I ran into him as he was exiting the bar I was entering. [Note: he was looking all "pretty and blazer-y," as Flirty says...] We exchanged our normal pleasantries, he gave me a hug, he left. Inside, I ran into his parents, who are always so sweet and nice to me. I texted Blazer Boy and said that his parents are the cutest. He agreed, and said something else that led me to reply to him again. I signed off the text with "talk to you later." His reply: "or soon." I couldn't resist, so after consulting with Texas, I answered back with "or not." One point in my favor? Well, at least half a point... I couldn't resist that little jab at him.
Fast forward to Saturday night. I was exhausted from my Friday adventures. At 1:00 a.m. I was climbing into bed, when I receive a text from Blazer Boy. Basically, our exchange went something like this:
BB: Pool party?
Bossy: huh?
BB: Come have a pool party with us.
Bossy: Who is "us?" No, I just got in bed. And where are you btw?
BB: So come get n pool. At [insert his friend's name].
Bossy: Are there bathing suits involved?
BB: fuk no
I didn't go. So people, I won this battle (in my head at least). I got the "last word" in by turning him down. One up on the upper hand for me! Hopefully he feels a little vulnerable.

Oh, forgot to tell you! Rebound Guy has "dumped" Trashy Ho... While I have little faith that he won't revert, it has been a month. Anyway, he's making efforts to see me again, which I find amusing. He's being very cool, just trying to hang out, no advances yet. And I'm just fine with that, because I do have fun with him, but I would be an I-D-I-O-T to go out with him again. So here's to me staying true to myself.

Ok, while I'm on an update kick... I had a date Sunday night with, hmm, let's call him the Great Gatsby. He's a tad bit older than I normally go out with.
My instincts are off with this one. I think it was a date. Or he may have intended it to be him gaining a new girl friend (note the space between the words) to hang out with.
The evening was great---we did some interesting things (get your minds out of the gutter!) and talked nonstop. Just a good-bye hug, which was fine by me, as I'm so sick of being creeped out and assaulted in alleys. We'll see if anything comes of it. But for the record, I kindof liked him. (and i say for the record, b/c there will likely be a time that I don't, and we'll have to remind ourselves that once I liked him).

Remember how Mr. P.O.T. commented on my ass in a passive-aggressive way? Lucky him, he got to see me in a bikini on saturday. I laid out at a pool with Rebound Guy that afternoon, and just so happened Mr. P.O.T. was there. Great.... The last thing I wanted was for him to see me half-naked.

And last, but not least, the Comedian... He has yet to really ask me out on a date, though he did suggest lunch one day and then I never heard from him. But after that, he texted/called and tried to hang out, but it was a very meager attempt. No days or direct asking out. [note to male readers: either ask a girl out for a specific day/event, or DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL. very frustrating to try to plan around a "maybe" date]So a few days later I suggested via text that we hang out the next week, because the current week was already full. He responded, "no, I'm not a second place ribbon, sorry."
If a guy is already mad about my busy schedule, then he just needs to move on with his selfish little self. I am busy, both professionally and socially. I am NOT willing to neglect my work or friends and family for a new guy that has not taken me out on a date yet. So red flag. If you will remember, I named him in anticipation that he would do something like this.
To his defense (kindof), he did call 2 days ago and said he was only joking (almost too little, too late though). He asked me to dinner last night, but I had to cancel for a health issue. He seemed understanding. We shall see.

Woops, one more update... The Hunter has been strangely quiet, even after a second date that went well. I'll keep you posted on that (no pun intended).
Ha, I realize that I claimed to have a reprieve from boys right now, then I got on a roll updating you, and realized that may not be the case. I guess I mis-spoke.
