Bachelor #23- Possibly Gay, or Maybe Just Brazilian?

Bachelor #23 was 3 Friday nights ago. We met on Match and he seemed like a nice enough guy. We decided to meet up for drinks at a great bar in West Hollywood. At first when we met up it felt a little awkward- like the conversation felt a little forced. It was basic small talk. But the more beers he had the more he seemed to relax and open up. After we ate dinner he took me to his favorite local bar that was within walking distance of the place we had dinner. He was Brazilian and the patrons of this local bar were also Brazilian. Everyone seemed very nice, except for the old drunk white man who was way too into the MMA match that was on TV.

Well the more Bachelor 23 drank the more feminine he sounded. He was drinking beer all night, and then he switched to red wine and just sounded really, really gayish. Maybe it was his accent? Maybe it was a cultural thing? But my gut said "Morgan- there is something gay about him." Maybe it was his compliment of my bracelet and my shoes.... I just didn't get the sense that he was incredibly (or barely) masculine. Maybe it's too much to ask, but I want a man who I think could defend me and my honor if the moment arised. I want a man that doesn't want to borrow my shoes.

In the end he asked me out again, but I didn't see him again. It's just too weird when a guy says to me "I just want to kiss you" in a very non-masculine kind of way. Perhaps I am too picky?

Bachelor #22- My Awesomeness Scared Him Off

It's been 2 months since I've written, mostly because I needed a break. But bachelor #22 occurred in May, during the time of my dear friend's daughter's baptism. Bachelor #22 was a "nice" guy from Texas. Like everyone else, we met on Match; however, he was not an active member- meaning he couldn't email anyone. He winked at me one day and I read his profile and it was cryptic. I was able to decipher his email address in his message and he emailed me back. We emailed back and forth and he asked for my phone #. This guy called me every night for 2 weeks. Even when I was in Michigan for my friend's daughter's baptism he called me every single night. We had such great conversations, it was like talking to an old friend.

After I got back we made a date to go out. He picked me up and we went out for dinner. I thought we hit it off, and he was exactly like he was on the phone and in his profile. He was an avid golfer, and we got on the topic of golfing. We were a few blocks away from a driving range and he had his clubs in his car, so we decided to go to the range so he could teach me how to hit the ball. Well maybe the fact that I was so terrible at hitting golf balls turned him off, because I never heard from him again after that.

Ok maybe, not never heard- after our date he left for Texas (allegedly) to visit family for 3 weeks. 4 days into his trip he sent me a text asking how I was, yada yada. Well after that I never saw or heard from that fucker ever again.

It only pisses me off because this fool had the nerve to call me every night for 2 damn weeks before we went out. He pretended to be a nice guy who was looking for something serious, but he didn't have the balls to tell me he wasn't interested in the end. I can't tell you the number of times that has happened to me and my other single friends. I can handle rejection, but men can't seem to handle being honest and forthright. It is beyond frustrating! At least gay marriage is legal now in CA so now I have an option haha. :)
