Chapter Two - 2.6 Boytoys and Pricks ~ A Date with Prince William

Recently, I met Korean gentlemen,
with an UK accent,
@ an Online dating site.

An Asian man with an UK accent!
That’s one in a thousand!

When we met for the first time,
I thought to myself...
we have lots in common,
and he has the perfect resume
(Perfect age, MBA, Never married, No Kids,
Owns his own place, Family oriented,
Wanted to get hitch soon, etc...).

Furthermore, he was so excited to meet with me...
He even hinted that I should stop dating other people.

Let’s call him...William
(as in my potential Prince William)

On our first date,
we spent a couple hours walking the seawall.
There were good communication vibe from him.
He’s not bad looking.
Plus...He even sings and plays the guitar!

After our walk, it was getting late.
He had an interesting suggestion.
William wanted to quickly drive home,
call me on the phone
and sing to me before ending the night.

I thought that this was weird,
but sweet.
So yes, at 11:30pm he called to “serenade me” to sleep.

The next day, William asked me on a second date,
A bike ride around Stanley Park, on a late afternoon.

Throughout our ride,
he was excited to tell me about the various good deals,
that he stumbled upon online.

• A mountain bike worth $500,
He purchased for only $150
• $200 Rollerblades,
He bargained down to $120
• Plus other the endless savings

After our bike ride,
he asked me what my plans were for the evening was.
I told him I was going to grab a bite to eat.
He then asked me if I was going to cook.
I responded “No”.

Then, I thought to myself,
that if I was going to cook,
then I would be a very good “online” deal. (lol..).

Next, I told him that he is welcomed,
to join me for a bite if he liked.
William hesitated a bit,
but agreed to go along.
So, off we went to a Sushi Restaurant nearby.

At the restaurant, William did three odd things.

• First - Although I specifically told him,
what I planned to order
(seafood salad and a half futomaki roll),
he wanted me to point out the items on the menu.
(Price checking?)

• Second – He brought up a touchy topic,
especially for a 2nd date - finance & the future

Here, he declared proudly,
that he has money saved up for his wife (a wedding budget?),
money saved up for the kids,
money saved up for lots of rainy days…

William also added that he has purchased a home,
for his potential wife.
However, there will definitely be a “No exit” clause,
attached to the marriage or else..
Oh, was he referring to “Prenup agreement”?

• Third – I noticed that William started texting,
on his blackberry from under the table.

When I looked at him with curiosity,
he assured me that he’s was not texting,
some other girl.

And he wanted me to guess what he was doing.
I declined to guess.

And then, I thought to myself,
Well, I know exactly what he was doing,
He’s either calculating the tips,
or balancing his checkbook from under the table.

After we finished and left the restaurant,
William started singing to me again…in public…

So, my question to you is “Did William get a 3rd date”?
– Correct, the answer is “No”.

Chapter Three - 3.5 The Lucifer Series ~ New place, new toy.

Dear Lucifer,

I hope you're happy, you bastard.  

Anyways, can you do me a favor and stay away from me? 

I'm in a little bit of a bind now and the best thing you can do is keep as far away as you can before someone gets hurt.  Knowing your misogynistic ways, it's probably going to be me.  Bastard. 

It's almost two months now that I'm in the far east. 
Everyone is upset with me at home. 
Mom and Dad is mad at me,
Friends are upset with me, no doubt. 
I don't know how I got my self into so much trouble. 

Remember how I told you that all my keys are falling from my chains?
Well you are right, even my own apartment wants me out.  
So...I'm moving. 
I love my place, but the fact is, I have to move.  
I am temporarily moving into a bigger space. 
A temporary space goes well with a temporary boyfriend. 

I'm sick of being engaged to myself on Facebook,
So once I come back, I'm going to re-examine my list,
Lined them up and pick a boyfriend.  

You better not be in that line cause I'm gonna kick your ass!

Chapter Two - 2.7 BoyToys and Pricks ~ Prince William Re-visited

My girl, Ms. Sunshine,
finally visited from Edmonton.
She organized a girls’ dinner,
A get together at the local Cactus Club.

One girl, Ms. Pretty,
who I’ve met a couple of times before,
mentioned that she met someone new recently.

However, she is still getting over this one guy,
whom she developed a relationship with,
six months ago.

They met online and he had “disappeared”,
after their fifth date.
As she recalled,
he had a perfect resume.
Good career,
doing his MBA,
owned his place,
and is an Korean man with an English accent!

However, Mr. Perfect resume started getting “busy”,
doing renovations on the weekends,
and then went on business trips.
Then, the calling then stopped.

My eyes lit up after hearing this.
I then recalled, previously, that my potential Prince William,
mentioned that he did renovations on his days off.
He even sews his own curtains.

I turned to Ms. Pretty,
and asked her if his name was William …
Because if it was,
I dumped that guy a week ago!

Ms. Pretty’s eyes lit up,
and the whole group turned toward me.
Then, I asked her if he sings?
She said “yes”.
I told her that he sang to me on the first date,
"did he sing to you too"?
She nodded.
All of us laugh.

Ms. Pretty mentioned that during their short lived relationship,
she even had to ask Prince William,
to take down his profile picture,
off the online dating site.
Prince William reluctantly complied.

To this day, Ms. Pretty was still figuring out,
what she did wrong to have Prince William,
disappeared on her like that.
She says that she did notice,
that he was very particular about
how his dishes get washed.

For instance, that spinach leaves must be picked off,
of the plate before it goes into the dish washer.

One morning, the kitchen sink plumbing broke,
while Prince William was on an early morning conference call.
William jumped up from his call
and asked Ms. Pretty to stop washing the dishes.

Eventually, William started doing renovations on the weekends,
and did not want Ms. Pretty to come over.
Finally the trip to the east (Toronto) sealed the deal
and Ms. Pretty never heard from William again.

So, what was the problem?
I believed that Ms. Pretty was too nice
and accommodating.
Although Prince William seemed like a perfect potential boyfriend,
Ms. Pretty was too quick to idealize him.

From my experience with meeting William,
he could be very skilled at trying to convince a girl,
that he's perfect for her.
Mind you, his specialty is in marketing and communications.

In my previous blog,
I may not have mentioned,
how William wanted to do all these things with me too,
Like traveling together,
moving in together,
finally,
finding someone he could connect with,
on an emotional level.

All this on the first date.
Too fast, too soon.
Anything that comes in to quickly,
runs off as quick.

My advice is too slow down,
and watch actions, not words.

If Prince William prefers to sewing his curtains
on his weekend-off than to see Ms. Pretty,
there is something wrong with that picture.
He’s just not that into her.
