I hate talking to strange men on the phone. Call me crazy, but I just find there is just something so darned awkward about talking to someone you've never met. And if the conversation isn't going well, how on earth do you get out of it? But sometimes, try as I might, I lose the battle. Why I don't get to call the shots ALL the time is beyond me, but it happens.
So when faced with the dreaded phone-call-with-a-total-stranger, I always go in with my expectations as low as possible and a few escape routes at the ready, like "Oh, sorry, that's my parole officer on the other line. I should really take that." Or "Can I call you back in a few minutes? I just have to run into the drug store to pick up the prescription for this oozing rash I have that just won't go away." You know, just in case.
But Bachelor #34 got on the phone and had me laughing in the first five seconds. I can't even remember what he said, but he was funny. His pictures were only OK, but he got BIG points for sense of humour.
So we went for drinks. I am fond of drinks. I believe that drinks make for better dates, but sometimes, some people have TOO MANY drinks. And then sometimes they get a wee bit aggressive. And sometimes maybe a wee bit forward. Then sometimes they try to kiss you but get all confused and mistake your head for a lollipop. A large, wet, frightened lollipop.

Loving the blog... Think of the dates as a way to keep your friends entertained!
Ewwww! What is wrong with (some) men?!? I think the phone is a good way to weed out the humorless guys who can't hold up their end of a conversation, but there's nothing like getting face-to-face (or tongue-to-tongue?) with someone to figure out what they're REALLY like!
