Mr Builder VS Mr Big Man … Is Mr Hottie back?

December 12th, 2008
My date with Mr Builder was nice. We met at a fancy Italian restaurant at 5:30 on Wednesday. We stayed there the whole time. I had to leave at 7:15 to pick my daughter from her father's house. The conversation was easy. It flowed very well. There was a lot of sharing and a lot of laughter. We do not seem to have a lot in common with our hobbies but we can see each other's point of view.
There were no sparks. However I have such a good time with him I want to continue to see him. I gave HIM a kiss good-bye. For some reason I take the lead that way with him. After leaving, I called him and talked with him on the phone up until I pulled into the driveway at the X's house. Again conversation is so easy. He lives in the big city an hour from here. This was our 3rd date. First was in a town between us, second he took off of work for 3 HOURS to have a lunch date with me and then he came to my town on Wednesday.
My date with Mr Big Man was wonderful. We met at a Mexican joint on Thursday at 6:30 close to where I live. We left there to buy pet food at PetsMart! This idea came to us because we both needed pet food and thought it was a good idea to combine a quick errand in the date. After PetsMart we went to Barnes & Noble. There we had hot chocolate and dessert. Again the conversation was easy and he would say something and I was like "me TOO" or vice versa. Very odd how much we are alike. We do have major differences but they are complementary differences. He gave me several "side hugs" at Barnes. There are sparks between us. At the end of the date he pulled me to him and gave me the kiss. 3 of them mind you! I like it when the man takes control. I was happy and tempted to ask him to follow me to my house. I did not however. This our 2nd date. First was in his hometown, 30 minutes away. 3rd date is Saturday night.
Pros: Mr Builder: Goes out of his way to spend time with me. Has the free time to spend with me. Strong emotionally.
Pros: Mr Big Man: Sparks. A lot in common. Wonderful father. Giver. Told me he "said a prayer to the Big Man (that would be God, not him, hehe) that everything is OK with the boobies". Patient. Takes control of the physical stuff. Knows about some of my pink baggage w/ polka dots and it does not faze him. My sex drive sings to him.
Cons: Mr Builder: No sparks. Too healthy (runs 4 miles 5 days a week and goes to gym for several hours 5 days a week). No children. Touch nerdy!!! haha. Can not bring myself to tell him anything about any of my pink baggage with polka dots.
Cons: Mr Big Man: TALL 6'4, I feel like a midget. His X-wife was a doozy and she is bi-polar - for real, I am not going into detail but it is a con.
Equal: both are into me. Both do not live in my town. Both are easy to talk to. Both have great careers and have made sound business moves. Both divorced. Both would like children. Both 40. Both are close to their family & love their mothers. Neither controlling and very go with the flow-y.
Alright, so I joined Facebook. I found people. People are finding me. Mr Hottie found me. Invited me as a friend and then sent me an email telling me his girlfriend is not over her X and they are having issues with it. HMMMM.
So out of the 6 I am down to 2. That's my story. And I'm sticking to it.

I am only one woman

I can't handle all these men. I cut two more. Now I am down to two. I feel better and I don't need to take notes anymore! Thank the Lord for I was screwing up royally! EEK.
I have met all the men in person except for The Professor. I had a lot of fun with him but I was pulled more towards the other men so he was an easy "drop".
The Navy Man was so funny and exciting. The bad? I think he has a major anger management problem. He was a rebel to his Superiors and was always complaining about work. Also it got to the point he would only talk about sex. Yes, that is a great topic but I need more. I will miss the funny emails he sends. Oh and the texts! Priceless. However I do not want an angry man. I am so over that!
So those two are gone.
Mr Builder and Mr Big Man are left.
I had dinner with my Ex Sister in Law one night, Melinda - I must say it is so cool we still talk for I really like her and feel we have a connection - and she really made a push for me to meet Mr Big Man. I had talked with him on the phone for three weeks but we were not able to meet in person yet. She opened my eyes this was a big mistake and I needed to met him pronto. You know, he could be a freak! He is 6'4!
I could be wasting a lot of time on him.
I called Mr Big Man and told him I was not going to talk to him on the phone anymore until we met. We met 4 days later. Due to making the date to see me I still talked to him on the phone every day. Plus, this man changed his custody schedule to see me! It was impressive. He likes me. Props to him for he is the only man that has had a kiss on the first date. He went for it and I was like "YA BABY!!!"
After the first date, I called Melinda and told her all about it. He did make me a little giddy.
I really like both but I feel I connect with Mr Big Man more. That may be because I talk to him often. Mr Builder has taken a lot of business trips lately.
I think it is a riot that all my friends at the Christmas party were badgering me about who I was dating. Melissa S wanted a full update on all the men. I believe I said "give me some time woman! I need to figure out who I like!" I was table hopping for I am such a social butterfly and telling the tables about my adventures. I love my circle of friends. I am so very lucky to have found them.
Oh and Krista ... I still want the present back you stole from me!!!
