Is it me, or are men out there in some kind of hurry? Well I know it's not JUST me, because it's happening to some of my friends too. Now don't get me wrong, I want to get off the online dating hamster wheel as fast as anyone, but even so, one blind date does not a relationship make. Call me crazy, but I believe a girl needs to get to know a random man she meets online at least a little before she's ready to gaze longingly into his eyes and declare herself off the market. But apparently the same does not appear to be true for the guys.
So here's how it goes: We chat online. We agree to meet for a drink. When I walk into the bar and meet him in the flesh, BEST CASE SCENARIO, I'm thinking the following:
- Thank God he has some hair
- Thank God I am not embarrassed to be seen in public with him
- Thank God he is taller than me in my 3 1/2 inch heels
- Thank God there aren't too many awkward silences
- Thank God there seems to be evidence of a brain
- Thank God there seems to be evidence of a personality and I don't have the carry the entire conversation myself. This time.
- OK, I wouldn't mind seeing him again. You never know, it could build into something.
Here's what I'm getting from him:
- HURRAY! I have a new girlfriend!
- Want to go out again tomorrow? And the day after that? And the day after that?
- Let's hold hands and maybe makeout a little?
- How about a weekend away?
- Can I call you baby, baby?
- Wanna meet my mom?
People, am I missing something?

Oh, I do remember those guys from my dating site days. I don't think you're crazy. I remember one guy using pet names for me the first time we talked on the phone. It was like, "OK, I'll meet you at 7?" "Sounds good, babe. Good night, beautiful." Uh, what?!?
I think it's a combination of them feeling like they know you from the information they learned while talking before meeting and really, REALLY wanting a girlfriend. Either way, it's not cool.
EW! Pet names before he has seen you drunk? The Hell??? Dudes - get with the program - no pet names until you have actually spent enough time with someone to have earned the privilege.
Your blog is awesome
