Boondocknewfie

The very first message I ever received was from a guy calling himself "Boondocknewfie". it wasn't a great message but it was sincere and a bit funny, so I responded. It was my very first attempt at a on-line date.He was from Newfoundland and was 33 years old. He was a little husky and not very tall but still there was something about him. he had blondish red hair and a double nose piercing in one nostril which had 2 hoops. i had never seen that before. I thought it was original.
We chatting quite abit for a couple weeks before I have enough nerve to meet him for coffee. he had a strong thick Newfoundland accent. So thick sometimes I didn't know what he was saying.lol. He was very sweet and down to earth. Not working at the time but was in the union and waiting to travel to Ontario to set out a ship that would travel The Great Lakes for 3 months at a time. Also interesting as I never heard of a job like that before.
So for the next couple weeks we decided to date, he decided to close his on-line dating account. "red flag" number 1, and I did not close mine.We would go for coffee and i would go to his place which he shared with his cousin and his wife. He liked to watch hockey a lot and he loved mixed "dubstep" style music.Turns out i liked it too and still continue to listen to it now.
The turning point in our blossoming relationship was when i had called him really shaken up about something that had happened to me. I had fainted and if my friend had not caught me, I would had seriously hurt myself. freaked me out.
Pius..... yes that was his name, named after a Pope. Go figure. he laughed on the phone. I was put off, I was upset looking for comfort and that's what I got. I quickly got off the phone and went to bed. I became stand off-ish and distant with him. He became curious and a little over bearing.
"You're popular on your phone" he would say....or he would ask me to do something and i would have plans and he would question me.....

goodbye Boondocknewfie.....happy sailing

So I chatted on-line with this nice young guy a couple of months back and then I added him to Facebook, we stopped chatting and I never really thought too much more about it.
He would "like" some of my profile pictures once in a while but really never commented on my posts.
A couple weeks ago, yes I'm very late with this entry,  he sent me a message on facebook,  just a "hi, how ya doing?" kinda thing. We chatted some more made some small talk and then we exchanged phone numbers and texted back and forth for a few days. He was witty and shy and I was curious  about him. I creeped his facebook, yes I did and he was very tall, about 30 and was kinda chubby. OK, why not.....well the why not will come later.
He turned out to be extremely shy and it took quite an amount of coaxing but at the last minute on a Tuesday night I managed to get him to meet me for a walk down at the local Tim Hortons  (coffee shop). It was about 11 pm and I was wide awake.
When I arrived he was already parked and I jumped out of my car super excited to meet him. He was tall. 6'4" tall....wow.  He was also very shy, so we walked  and talked. Now when I am nervous I get gabby and a little loud....oops. He didn't offer much to the conversation so I assumed when we got back to the cars that i wouldn't hear from him again.
Wrong!
A couple night later we went for a drive and chatted some more, he was young but mature so what the hell.
Until I noticed on facebook that he had a little habit of "liking" this girls photos and statuses.....I only noticed because one of my former on line dates who I still remain friends with was dating her.....OMG.
The tangled web of online dating, I guess this town is smaller than I thought it was.its not a small town really but online apparently it is.
So over the next week every time she would post a picture and my friend would like it cause they were dating......Shawn P. would too. Nice! So one day I said to him, how do you know her? He met her on Plenty of Fish.... online.
I was done that's a tri-fecta I just couldn't and didn't want to be involved in......

I'm a fireman

I was home on a friday evening, doing alot of nothing. My good friend was in the city participating in a poetry reading at city hall and preceeded to text me and sa y she was finished her adventure and was going to take the ferry across the harbour. I jumped up and told her  we should grab a beer at the pub downtown called Celtic Corner.  It was a go, I dashed around and got ready anf drove downtown.
There was a nice hip but celtic band playing, she was already seated when I arrived.  I ordered a drink and we decided on nachos to spilt . Meanwhile behind my friend I could see this guy out of the corner of my eye staring in our direction. I said to my friend "do you know that guy at the bar?" She didn't so I brushed it aside.
My friend and I talked about our day, hers much more fascinating than mine, especially getting to speak at city hall and in front of a prostegious group of guests.
Again out of the corner of  my eye, I noticed the guy now up and circling the pub. Once around, twice around and wham! He slides in beside me on the bench, pressed right up against me.
I am shocked and the look on my friends face said it all. What the fuck?
I turn and say, "hi?"
He says hi and proceeds to  say that he knows me?
Aaaaaahhh I don't think so.
His breath reeks of beer. Ewe.
I say to him, "you are sitting a bit close"
He ignores the comment.
"I'm a  fireman." He says....."good for you", I say. Lol
I turn my body away from him and conyinue talking to my friend.  He is still talking. " I'm sorry,  I dont think I know you"i say......he gets a huge grin on his face. "I reconize you from POF"
I want to die, this strange man has reconized me from the online dating website I am currently on. My friend is appalled,  I'm visibly upset.
I  just star at him. I do the only thing I can think of. Lash out.
"YOU ARE SITTING WAY TO CLOSE AND GHAT CHEAP COLONGE YOU HAVE IN IS BURNING MY EYES!"
With that he gets up and walks straight out the door.
Im embarrassed,  I was harsh but I was also scared,  someone actually reconized me while I was in public. Yikes!
But the story doesnt end their, when I get home he proceeds  to message me on the site and ask for a date?
You're kidding right.
