Date #3: Orthopedic Surgeon

Hello JC fans! So sorry I have been offline, but I’m back. Between school and trying to keep my life afloat, I forgot to tell you all my juicy dating details. My apologies, friends.

So where were we…oh yes, the Orthopedic Surgeon! Now we went on 2 dates. I told you about the first one and I owe it to you guys to share the second and last one. 

Now I call this date “How to lose a guy in 2 days”, but I didn’t lose him, he lost me and our last date was placed at a basketball game, hence why I titled it “How to lose a guy in 2 days” If I’m going to be honest with you, I wasn’t REALLY watching the game, I was scouting some potential dates….news flash no prospects. 

The basketball game was on a Friday (I think), and he picked me up from my apartment. We walked, since the stadium was not too far, we did some small talk which I think made the trip to the game even longer than it was supposed to be. We finally arrived and it wasn’t a popular game, so we got in easily, also brownie points to him for being so organized, he had the tickets already pulled up on his phone! (I like that in a guy…being organized and all. Most men aren’t like that at all) Ok, so we got inside the stadium, before we took our seats and he asked me if I wanted anything to eat, I politely declined, and we proceeded to sit. I don’t think he wanted to see me eating from the left side of my face. Honestly, watching a game on the second date seems fun but sometimes it can be awkward, because you are both sitting NEXT to each other not facing each other and it is way too loud to talk about anything. But he didn’t make much conversation. I felt like I was going to a basketball game with a friend NOT a date but thank God the basketball game was short. I couldn’t take another side-eye glance and little chuckle at each other. Let me put it this way, a basketball game can always be fun but ask yourself this, “Was it memorable? And “Did I genuinely laugh?” That's the important part. I said no to the questions. So, after him walking me back to my apartment, (where it seemed like he wanted to come in), we said our goodbyes and I pondered as I took the elevator up to my apartment. By the time I got home, I decided that I had no interest in him. It didn’t take me very long; I know but I KNOW what I want in a guy. This may sound cheesy, but I believe there’s a click when you see a guy you like, not “Love at first sight, but like an absurdly happy mood you get when you see him. I just didn’t have that, and that’s ok. I told the Orthopedic Surgeon that I could see us as friends, in the most respectful way and we move on. 

I was talking to one of my best friends the other day and she said, “Play the game or the game plays you”, think of it this way, “Play the man or the man plays you”. Don’t put yourself in a situation where you're questioning something or confused. Why be confused, when you can be done? Why be confused when you can let go? Something to think about.

Do you really think a man is just going to let you go? NO!!! He will reach out, just you wait, they always do. If they aren’t “White Boy of the Month”, dating is a challenge for them. Jokes on them.

I had to go to the source for this quote, “But show him you have an “appetite for life” ...your life” - Why Men Love Bitches. Pull away and live peaceful, have him come to you.
