My Golden Nuggets

Golden nuggets can come in the form of great ideas, precious moments, a stiff drink at the end of a hard week or literally a golden nugget (hold onto that for your retirement!)  Here's a fun snippet of some "other" golden nuggets that I just have to shake my head at. These are their opening lines to entice me to respond. Yes, I might seem slightly judgemental because I'm sure they are fantastic gentlemen, just ask their mothers right?  Ladies and gentlemen, I give you "My Golden Nuggets":

BL505: Im Brian I thought I would say hello to the most beautiful woman on this site 

Not too bad, flattery will get you everywhere except....he sent this message to me twice in 2 days. Thanks Brian but considering they are identical messages, something tells me you send this as a standard opening line. Does this mean I'm not the most beautiful woman on this site? Questionable.

MarcRN: Well I learned to cook, clean, handle finances, trim bushes, clean the pool, paint, dry wall repair, nursing school, love my puppies, run 1/2 marathons, kill weeds, landscaping, totally rooted, etc etc....so that being said I think we should meet for coffee...what do you have to lose but gain a new friend...one who can make you soup when you're sick, or start an iv on you if you ever get too drunk. I'm really one of the best single no kids man in Arizona...LOL (Background on this guy, a male nurse, hot!!)

This message was sent to me on March 25th, on April 6th I responded a hello back, I mean he sounds too good to be true right? Sexy male nurse that can do all of this and is interested in me? Jackpot!  After I messaged him back I decided to do a little back ground check since he'd signed his note with his full name. Apparently I should have done that prior to my response. Why? Because on April 2nd, he indicated on his facebook that he was in a committed relationship with a girl named Katherine from Reno.  20 mins after my "hello" he wrote back and asked me for my digits. 30 mins after that, since I hadn't responded with my number he re-emailed me again asking me out to go running with him on the canals. Classy! Caught cheating and I'm not even dating him!

AzAnd: sooooooooo sexy butterfly girl tho -:)

I'm not sure exactly if this is a compliment or strictly a statement. I can't figure this message out because it looks like there was another part of his thought that he didn't add but something was definitely going through his mind. Friends don't let friends play on the computer while drinking or high.

mysterious: that hat is way lame...u look better in other pics

I have a picture of me where I'm wearing a hat (see below). Personally I think its pretty fun and kinda alluring but thats just my opinion. Maybe next time he sends an opening line to a lady he can say hello first, before he starts attitude with my wardrobe choices? Just a thought....

aztak: I WANT TO SERVE YOU EGGS BENEDICT IN BED CIAO

Quite the offer I would have to say...and I looked at his profile, a picture of him wearing a tight muscle shirt and bvd's, one hand grabbing his manhood like he was afraid it would get up and walk away on its own. Hmm....


To all those sucka MC's that try to step to me...Just be yourself if you are going to be on a dating website. Then again, if being yourself means that you're 3 eggs short of an omelet, maybe you should stick to bar flies cause I'm pretty sure they are the only ones that will appreciate that kind of attention.

Bobby McGee Part 2

Part 2

"You know feeling good was good enough for me, good enough for me and my Bobby McGee." ~ Janis Joplin...such a talented lady. Think she'd know that her lyric would be used in conjunction with my dating existence? She'd probably buy me a drink if she heard about this guy!

It was when Bobby decided to pick up the phone and call me that things changed for what I thought was the better. His humor was right on, dry sarcastic, definitely a good match with mine. At the end of the conversation he asked if he could come over to my place. I explained to him that the first time we met, it'd be better to meet in a public place, I mean, I could be a crazy person right? (plus its one of my rules, I don't break that one for sure!)  He agreed and he made a date for us to go get ice cream the following Sunday afternoon. We flirted, texted and called a few times since making the date and then came Sunday afternoon.  I asked him where and when I should meet him...he mysteriously had to work but offered again, to come over to my place and "help me" since I'd been working on my house that weekend. Graciously, no thank you, I was looking forward to ice cream and for those of you that know me, I am easily bribed to do almost anything for some mint chocolate chip ice cream.  When you have ice cream on the brain, its hard to turn that delicious anticipation off. Needless to say, I ended up working on my house that afternoon rather than having ice cream.

A few days go by of random texts that he wanted to meet me in person and that he really liked me, felt that even if we weren't dating, he'd want to just be friends because I make him feel inspired. I told him "If you want to meet me so badly, pick a day, time and place I'll be there".  Plans for the following Wednesday at Claim Jumper for happy hour. Appearing as requested at the time he picked of 6pm, I sat at the bar and waited. At 6:20pm I headed out, once again the "Queen of Getting Stood Up". A phone call at 7pm from  him indicated he was sorry, he had to work late and he could come over to my place and make it up to me. Um...didn't we go over this already? What part of "You are not coming over until I meet you in public first" don't you understand? He apologized profusely and tried to once again get in my social graces. Maybe next time he could tell me beforehand that work was going to keep him from arriving. Doesn't a text message along those lines take a whole 25 seconds to compose and send? Lets just say when he called me the following Sunday to try again and was graciously shot down (don't want to bruise any ego's here right?) he got upset, told me I was being cranky and hung up on me.

Woe is me! Whatever will I do without a crazy guy who stands me up in my life? Oh I know! Keep on living the good life, thankful we're not together and I'm not headed to the funny farm in the process! One more bullet dodged, Amen
