Before I started writing this blog, I hardly ever told a man that I was dating exactly how I felt. I was a pleaser, and I made it seem like everything was always fine on my end. It seems so wrong on so many levels. However, I know that many women do this:( This blog has helped me find my voice. Don't get me wrong, its still hard for me, but I'm not afraid of rocking the boat anymore.
Ever since Bruce brought up the kid conversation, he took a step back. I thought we were getting back on track when he picked a mini disagreement with me. So, I called him out! I told him that I thought he was afraid, and I knew the exact moment it happened. Of course Bruce was intrigued, and wanted to more about my "theory." I told him that ever since the kid conversation things changed, and I asked him if he could deny it. He said he couldn't but it wasn't because of my answers. To make a long story short, Bruce announced to me that he can't have kids. After explaining that I wasn't falling in love with his sperm count, Bruce agreed to stop pushing me away. He was so surprised that I wasn't walking away; I guess most women do once they find out. I look at it this way; I have dated almost every kind of douche bag in the last 3 years, and I'd much rather have no kids with an amazing man than multiple kids with a really bad man.
Things went back to normal for a few days, but now I feel like I'm back to the wondering game. I'm wondering what he is thinking, wondering what he is doing, wondering if he is thinking about me, wondering how I came off. I HATE wondering...life is too short to wonder!!!! I would rather be single then hold back and wonder!!
Maybe its me and my baggage, but I just feel like he is on the verge of peacing out. The last few days I have found myself thinking about how I would feel if I never saw him again. I prep myself so the actual blow doesn't hurt so bad. I don't want this to happen, but my wall is trained to go up whenever I sense danger I guess. There are so many things I would miss about him. The long talks we have, the gentleman that he is, the way he holds and kisses me, the way I feel whenever I get a text from him, playing rummy, his smell, his cleanliness, his calmness are all fine qualities of this man! However, I truly believe that no man should make or break a woman! He should only make her stronger than what she already is!
I will keep you all posted...don't you worry!
Night! xoxo

Roller Coaster
The past two weeks with Bruce has been an emotional roller coaster ride. This is the best way I can explain it. I know a lot of these emotions are from past experiences, and I have to teach myself to work through them before I act on any of them. Before I tell you the high lighted events, I want to point out that I have my own faults, and I know I could have been in the wrong.
OK...so about two weeks ago is when I felt a shift in our relationship. One night we were falling asleep, and nothing was said for at least 5 minutes when Bruce asked (out of the blue) if I wanted kids. I told him that eventually I did, but I wanted to do it in the right order...marriage and then kids. I followed by asking him for his take on the question. This was followed by a long period of silence. I actually thought that he didn't hear me. Then, he said that he only had considered having kids with one other woman in the past. He was really thinking hard about this! Then, it went to how would I feel if the man I was with couldn't have kids. I said I would be disappointed, but there were other options nowadays. Bruce quickly stated that my tone of voice showed how bad I wanted kids, and he is right. However, I feel that finding a man like him is hard to do...and I could work around the kid thing if I had to. He never did give me a straight answer, and I didn't push it because I think I was afraid of the answer:( He did end it on a light note with the comment of "don't worry, I'm not asking you to have my babies right now." Many people have told me that men in their 30s tend to start thinking about this more. I have never brought up anything in regards to marriage or babies. During this conversation, it didn't feel out of place because Bruce and I have always been very open with each other. However, after this is when I felt the shift:( He pulled back a little....not a lot, but enough that I noticed.
Then, here is where I went wrong. My girlfriend has been wanting to meet him since the moment I told her about him. She just keeps asking, so Bruce had already agreed to meet my boss after I was done teaching one day, so I thought that since he was in the area that we could meet up with my girlfriend for dinner. Nothing fancy...very casual. I text him saying we were going to have dinner with her after he met my boss. Now, remember Bruce knows that my friends want to meet him that is not a surprise. He agrees but was short in his answers. It comes to the day we are suppose to meet, and he backs out because his friend was in a car accident. I'm bummed out, but I was understanding. A few days later, I have a show that he has known about for a month that he can't get off work for it even though he told me it wouldn't be a problem. I am VERY sensitive about my shows, so by now I am pretty annoyed and disappointed. In this annoyed state of being, I told Bruce that he needed to figure out a day when he could meet these people because now they are asking for him. I didn't think twice about the way I wrote it, but he responded that he didn't like it when I told him what he "needed" to do. By this time, I told him that I wanted to talk because I think we were misunderstanding each other!! I admit that I should have asked him to go to dinner with my friends instead of telling him which was one of his points. Deep down, I feel like he is looking for things to push me away with. I think he is freaked out ever since the baby conversation.
The last time we saw each other was awkward like we were both walking on egg shells. He wouldn't kiss me on the lips. He isn't texting like he use to. I feel him starting to "peace out" but I don't know what to do about it:( I keep telling myself that the right guy will never want to peace out. He will never want to push me away. He will want to meet the people that are important to me. He will tell me exactly the way he is feeling.
I don't want you all to think less of him! Bruce is an amazing man, but I feel like he doesn't know what to do about me. All I know is that I have never felt this way about an other man before. Everything just fell into place and flowed so easy. I was ready to tell my parents about him, which is a HUGE step in this case!! I guess I can hold off for that big step for awhile:(
If anyone has any advice, I'm listening!

Best Valentine's Day Ever!
I can honestly say that I really have never thought much about Valentine's Day....good or bad. I remember that both years with Ben ended up with me giving a gift, and Ben forgetting:( He always said he would make up for it, but nothing ever came of that either. Yeah, I had a boyfriend, but the first Valentine's Day I spent after Ben, was WAY better than both with him!! A bunch of us girls went to "He's Just Not That Into You" in the theater with Cheesecake. No one let me down!!!
With Bruce, I didn't want any material thing. I just knew I wanted to be by him. I just can't get enough of him!!! We started the day with me watching him play basketball (which he is amazing at). Then, I had to work, but we decided to cook and watch a movie. He showed up at my door with a single red rose with a note attached to it:) The moment I say the note a wall went up. I tried to not show how it affected me because I was trying to figure it out in my head first. My brain was going a mile a minute trying to realize why I was reacting like this. Then, it hit me! Ben broke up with me two times via letter. He use to write all the things he hated about me, and what he wanted me to work on...blah blah blah. Once I took a moment to remember that Bruce is NO WHERE near the person Ben was, I opened the note. It was beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to give you all the juicy details, but I will tell you that I will keep this "love letter" FOREVER!!!
We cooked salmon, and had a wonderful meal! Then, we finished the night watching Cars 2; a man after my own heart! Finally, I fell asleep in his arms, which is the best place in the world. That was a little cheesy, but oh so true!
Stay tunes!

One month of Perfection
As many of you know, I am way behind on my entries. I have to apologize, but I have been a little busy to say the least:) Its been a month today since I met Bruce, and people say I "beam" when I mention his name. I have realized that I have NEVER been treated correctly by a man. One may ask what "correctly" means? Bruce treats me like a human being and is actively involved in my every day life. Crazy...but I had forgotten what being in a relationship actually felt like. I am not afraid to text too much or call at all or see him for the 2nd time in one week. You know why...he wants to be with me just as much as I want to be with him. Its equal effort on both sides...give and take!! Yesterday, I asked him if he had ever felt this way before. I wasn't even looking for the answer that made me feel special. I was just curious because I honestly can say I am in foreign territory. I'm not saying that finding the right person can't happen twice in a life time, but I know its difficult just to find them once!!! Bruce responded with a "no," and he flipped the question back to me. I obviously said no and continued to explain that I have heard people say that it should be easy. I finally know what they have been talking about!!! We just work. The one think that is standing out the most to me is that I am not afraid to say anything to him!!! I even told him about this blog, which has been a subject that I would have never brought up with any of the past men. I just knew they couldn't handle it. Bruce didn't even blink. He stated that the only reason anyone would have a problem with it is if they knew their actions were questionable. He also agreed that I should publish it. I have tears of joy welling up in my eyes right now because I see what an amazing partner he is and could be! I have also heard that the person you are with should make you a better person. He makes me feel like there is nothing I can't overcome.
I get excited just knowing that I get to see him soon:) Wow...that is all I can say!!

24 Hour First Date
Have you ever had a 24 hour first date that you spent about 20 of them talking?? This was the first thing of many that Bruce and I found to be abnormal. Not once in those 24 hours did I ever look at my watch. It just flowed...easy!
OK...back to the initial meeting. We met at a Coffee Bean since I am a Coffee Bean Slut:) I got there first, but as I was texting him, he texted that he was there. I was very nervous to lay eyes on him. His pictures were amazing. His emails were amazing. His phone conversation was amazing. I REALLY wanted him to match all of this in person, but statistically, the odds were against me. I don't think I mentioned that Bruce is black. I have had many dates with man from other races; this is not a problem with me!! However, I can't deny that my family would have to get use to this characteristic in my man if I ever got serious about one. I have no doubt that they would accept him if he was the right guy, but they might have to process it for a minute...if you know what I mean...any Midwest readers out there? I remember the feeling I got when I saw Bruce. I liked what I saw ALOT, but more importantly, I got this feeling of relief...calmness...at peace. From the very first moment, he made me feel at home with being beside him.
Bruce told me to "not even think about it" when I tried to get my wallet out to pay. This sounds so trivial, but all I want is someone to pay for the first meeting. After that, I'm completely fine with splitting it, but I still believe that the guy should handle the first date. Conversation was wonderful! He did ask plenty of questions, and I was worried that I wasn't asking enough. However, I really don't know how I could have gotten in any more if I tried:) I've noticed on many first dates that as I'm answering or asking questions, I'm wondering in my head how the guy is perceiving me. This time I was hoping he was liking what he was hearing. A thought I have never had before!
After about an hour, Bruce asked if I was hungry. With a smile on my face because I didn't want the date to end either, I said yes. Then, he said the most amazing thing..."how about In N Out." A man after my own heart!!! Honestly, I still didn't know if he was interested or if he was just hungry. It wasn't until he hip checked me at the register while we were ordering that I realized that he was flirting:) Bruce worked for his apartment complex, and he had to work later that evening, so he invited me back for a game of rummy. Rummy is the reason I responded to his email in the first place. Of course the situation I had with the guy that only had two mattresses ran through my mind. My gut told me that there was nothing to be afraid of...plus, I had already told Bruce that story in our phone conversation. I agreed, and we started walking back to our cars. This is when I noticed that he was a gentleman! He HAD to walk on the outside and open my car door for me (the first time of many).
The rest of the night was amazing! We played rummy, which I kicked his butt at!! I walked with him on his rounds. We ordered pizza. This whole time conversation was never at a stand still, and I never held back. I always said exactly what was on my mind and didn't think twice while doing it. Before I knew it, it was 4am, and my eyes were getting heavy. This is when Bruce did a very gutsy thing...he pulled his mattress out in the living room. He knew the mattress story, and he still brought it out. Plus, at this point, we hadn't touched. Even after that, I never felt like Bruce was going to try anything, and I was correct. He was a complete gentleman!! We ended up talking even more before we got a few hours sleep. When we woke up, he took me to breakfast. Throughout the meal, there were many comments made about the length of our "abnormal" first date:)
It was perfect! I wouldn't have changed anything about our first meeting! It was one of those times that you just can't stop thinking about the other person!! Its that feeling that we all wish for!!
Stay tuned!!!!

Buying a New Car
About six months ago, I started my search for a new car. My first car was the first thing I ever bought with my own hard earned money, and she held a very special place in my heart. She wasn't the most fashionable vehicle, but she made me feel safe. Being a 1997 Chevy Lumina, she was referred to as a "grandma car" very often. As I started looking and researching, I realized that brand names or colors didn't matter to me. Of course money was a concern, but I know I would have figured out a payment plan on any kind of car. What I discovered was that I wanted my new vehicle to be unique!!! It had to stand apart from the average piece of metal on four wheels. I'm not talking about being the prettiest or coolest, but just having that little something that makes people want to know more. I came to the conclusion that this is what I want in my man!!!!!!!! I want them to be uniquely special in some way....any way!!!!
As I look back on the men that have made it past the first date, the only thing that stands out in my mind was the way they peaced out:) So...I decided to keep an open mind. I reactivated my profile on Plenty of Fish, and just started talking! I didn't look at distance, height, race, occupation, etc. Physical attraction still has to be there, so I looked at pictures and read profiles. One man started to jump off the screen. Bruce emailed me first with a subject line of "pick me." I went to his profile before reading his message. I remembered seeing Bruce's profile months before but never contacting him. He was VERY attractive...maybe to the point of being too good looking. Most man that look like that act a certain way, and I normally steer clear of them. However, I was keeping an open mind! There were multiple things in his profile that intrigued me. First, he quoted an animated film that I love, and asked to see if anyone could name it. Then, he stated that he enjoyed play Rummy and Speed. Growing up, I played Rummy every weekend with my grandparents! Finally, it stated that he didn't drink. I'm not going to lie; it would be wonderful if the man I was with knew how to function without alcohol! I messaged him back, and we started conversing. Soon after, we exchanged phone numbers. Of course texting came first and then a phone call. Through this week of initial conversation, I realized that he had dealt with alot of the same things regarding online dating. He asked several questions that hardly ever pop into my head. For example, are you married? My first response is "OF COURSE NOT." Then, I thought about it, and many people do online dating behind their spouse's back. Crazy, but true; I still can't wrap my brain around that idea!! Then there is the "you don't have kids?" for the third time. Bruce had to tell me a story about this lady that stated online that she had no kids, but then when he asked her in person, she said yes, a fifteen year old. Some girls might think Bruce was asking too many questions all at once. However, I took it as he had been burned before, and he didn't want to waste his time on people that didn't care to tell the truth about who they were! Plus, he didn't do it in an offensive way.
To say the very least, I wanted to learn more about this man! We did have some distance between us, but we planned on meeting in the middle. I have to admit that I can't even remember how many men are great on the phone and on screen, but don't even come close in person. Bruce was amazing on the screen and on the phone, so I was nervous as I was driving to meet him. I was prepping myself for the worst, so anything would feel like a success:)
Since this is the worst possible time to stop writing that is exactly what I am going to do;) Stay tuned to see if Bruce was just as great in person or not????

I Named Him Dave
When I chose the name for this last guy, nothing was coming to mind, so I took the name of the man I lost my virginity to. When I think of the original Dave, I realize the whole situation was fucked up, but I don't regret a single thing! For some reason, I loved that man, and I know that he will always be there for me if I need him! However, I was always the "other" woman. Yes, I knew...and I let myself be runner up. At the time, I thought that one day he would see all the good in me. Young and foolish is all I can say. BUT, I don't feel anger towards him at all. I was thinking of these positive feeling when I named the new boy after him. Well, I guess the name is always going to have negative actions associated with it:(
Last night, I met Dave for coffee. A meeting that I really didn't think twice about. After about an hour of talking and me spilling my hot chocolate on him, he breaks the mood with "the reason why I wanted to meet you...." Before he could even get the sentence out, my brain was going a mile a minute. Yet another man in this town that is so good at taking and than walking away. Well, it turns out that he was on a "break" with his girlfriend when he met me, and now they are getting back together. The more I think about it, I realize that I would be completely fine with this if he didn't sleep with me. However, that action just made him a douche bag!!!!!!! The bottom line is if he is looking for things in me obviously he isn't satisfided with his girlfriend. I just hope that she fucked around on him too, or I just feel sooo sorry for that girl. A "break" to me means we need to work on ourselves not we need to go fuck anything in site! After Dave told me this very enlightening news, he followed it with "I never thought I could meet a girl like you out here....its hard out here." News flash buddy, you are the reason why its so hard. Guys like you that think they can just do whatever they want to whoever they want. Yeah I play off this tough girl image, but that shit hurts like hell! Then, he went on to tell me he didn't want me to waste my time. Wow...yes he really said that...basically, he meant he was a waste of time, and I guess I was right when I thought he was intelligent.
My attitude did a complete 180. First, I thanked him for actually being man enough to tell me to my face. However, I was also thinking that he was "man enough" to cheat as well. Then, I turned into the Kiki that just tells it like it is. I wish that Kiki could be present ALL the time! I told him he could read my blog now (because he asked about it earlier, and I wouldn't tell him anything about it). I explained what it was about and that he was in it. I told him that I pretty much pin pointed him. I mean the 4-5 days off were probably with her (it all is so clear now). Then, I just kept talking about how I viewed relationships and him for about 20 more minutes. I made a good point about how since his parents were divorced that is ok in his brain. Where mine have been married for 36 years, and those are the role models I look up to everyday of my life. He ended with he still wants to be friends and come see a show...blah blah blah. I finished my getting into my car and instantly deleting his number:)
I'm so glad I let myself simmer for over 24 hours. After I slept on it, I admitted that I had been over looking multiple things. First impressions are huge, and really shouldn't be over looked. The first think I thought when I saw him was "Armenian Douche Bag." Ok, so he isn't Armenian, but he does resemble one, and he dresses like them (sorry to stereotype). His appearance alone was not dad worthy. My dad would have taken one look at him, and disliked him instantly. Then, there was the slow "short bus" responses. There were so many conversations that I thought were one sided because it took him soooo long to reply verbally to me. He would always come back with a very in tune comment, but it seemed like his engine was firing, but not igniting. Which brings me to the last thing I was overlooking....POT. Yeah, he had told me that he had gotten high twice just in that short time we were conversing. Who knows how many times he actually smoked up??? I don't want someone that does any type of drug!! I know I just excluded about 95% of California's population, but that is what I want!
I know I have made this point before, but I'm going to do it again because I feel like it is very important. Women, if I man is making you cry (for any reason) within the first 4 months of dating, GET OUT!! If it is starting like that, how could anything good come from it? I give this advise so easy, but I still need to remind myself to live by it. Dave made me cry about three weeks into knowing him....RED FLAG! Another thing, if you have a pet, and they don't like your potential significant other, please take note! They can sense it!! My cat was never comfortable around Dave, and he would constantly be watching him. He knew the whole time that Dave was no good.
Well, I guess my no dating anyone from the bar is back into affect. Also, my two month rule is back on...so I am a born again virgin;) However, my new solo is going to rock because I have new material to tap into!! (There is always a positive.)
Well, I hope my hot chocolate didn't stain his Armenian clothes...haha!
On to the next one...

Last night, I met Dave for coffee. A meeting that I really didn't think twice about. After about an hour of talking and me spilling my hot chocolate on him, he breaks the mood with "the reason why I wanted to meet you...." Before he could even get the sentence out, my brain was going a mile a minute. Yet another man in this town that is so good at taking and than walking away. Well, it turns out that he was on a "break" with his girlfriend when he met me, and now they are getting back together. The more I think about it, I realize that I would be completely fine with this if he didn't sleep with me. However, that action just made him a douche bag!!!!!!! The bottom line is if he is looking for things in me obviously he isn't satisfided with his girlfriend. I just hope that she fucked around on him too, or I just feel sooo sorry for that girl. A "break" to me means we need to work on ourselves not we need to go fuck anything in site!
