The Backstory…


posted by NotSamantha


So I realize that while I've been tripping the fun fantastic dating life with NotChrisRock, I realize that I haven't filled you guys in on what's been going on between one visit from Aunt Flo and another.

The High Points: Following Bite Night, NotChrisRock and I continued to learn a bit about each other. For me, I learned, while not a slob, he's not really that neat either, pet peeve sorta, but given my own bedroom's state of disarray, I gave it a pass. Also, while at time self deprecating, he's also very honest about what he thinks about other people and sticks by his opinions, which I appreciate. There is nothing worse than a man who can't hold onto a thought when faced with an opposing one. He's a good cook and says he can play a mean game of cards. Oh, and one thing, that I'm starting to like/hate about him. HE's a football junkie. Specifically: college football, more specifically: the SEC. Now, as I consider myself quite the girlie girl, I've never been one for football. I can appreciate from afar and that's about it. However, I've found that more often than not when I'm over at NotChrisRock's apartment he's got his tv tuned to a football game or ESPN is reviewing one that he just watched. And because this is the DC area it just wouldn't be complete with the political, and he's definitely political. Not sure what he's learned about me, except that I like coffee and lots of it and that I can stay up until 4am and still be ready to go.

The Low Points: In the bedroom he's rocking the failboat on getting me there. However, we introduced one of my toys and that worked out very well indeed, so I'm sort of satisfied in that regard. He's very much into going with the flow, and I'm very much a plan it to prevent from failing and we found after a frustrating evening of trying to decide where we should go out to that week, that we were making each other angry…at least I was angry. He's into his stuff and often to the detriment of the others (read: me) around him. There have been several occasions when I've been over and he's been either watching a game or playing a video game and he's not stopped playing or has started one of these activities when I arrive and continues to do so. To be honest, I'm not sure if I care. If he were in the BF category I would be majorly pissy, as it stands I'm shrugging it off. He makes me laugh, cooks food for me if I ask and is really good at keeping my attention off of work.

Not the love of my life, but I knew that 10 seconds after meeting him. And I'm going to take some advice from NotASong on this whole shebang. "He's a nice guy, you deserve a nice guy…so stop looking for problems and just enjoy him while he's here."

And so I am.

Definitely enjoy it!! I have dated plenty of the "NotBoyfriend" types and it took me a while to learn the "enjoy them while they last" thing. You know what works and what doesn't. Stay away on football days and get your dinner every now and then!

I know way too much about your Aunt Flo.

I am happy you're having fun with it! From what you've told me, he has quite a few positives. Besides, what's the fun without the annoyances like football. :-)

And I'm going to start deleting all posts where you mention 'Aunt Flo' or any variation of. Hahahaha.

OOOhh....I love love love SEC football! Best conference in the country! What's his team? Guess I'm not so girly girl.

There's this funny zone when you're hitting a girl where its really sweet awesome to get your rocks off and like pass out. You sort of make this pretend effort to keep going but sooner or later you just give up and go to sleep. Boys giggle. Girls sizzle. Comedy? Tragedy? That's the name of the game and it makes us LOL.

um LOL.

Hope you make it to the promised land.
