To All the Guys I’ve Loved (Not Really) Before…..Surprise, You Have New Names

What’s in a Name?  Judging by my long list…a heck of a lot.  And I’m not talking about my own name…I’m referring to the laundry list of guys I’ve dated the last six months.  You know…the list that comprises of “at-first” seemingly normal men – then turns into a roll call of “what was I thinking” men.

First and foremost…I must apologize for being AWOL on my own blog the last week and a half.  Sometimes I do not control my life…instead my allergies, job demands, mediocre dates, snow skiing obsession, and grocery store visits run full throttle and take over.  And secondly, I apologize for writing a blog post somewhat inspired by Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias

So….what’s in a name?  Evidently A LOT if I look at the string of recent Denver dudes who have recently “tolerated,” or been “graced by my presence.”   Some of my favorites….

Metrosexual Mark – Wore more designer clothes than George Michael and George Clooney combined.

Ivy League Cowboy – Harvard grad who worked on a dude ranch…I hope the horses appreciated his degree.

Gaydaddy.com – Had perfect hair…and a perfect son.  Secretly wondered if he should move to San Fran. Too too feminine.

Transitional Man – Moving from Morrison to downtown Denver…quickly turned into “Sent me an email asking for a 3rd chance,” then “Stood me up” Man.  LOSER!

Mr. Gold Chain – Sporting ugly, thick gold chain all night…Possible Jersey Shore wannabe.

Mr. NYU – Became snotty when I honesty admitted I did not know the NYU mascot.  (Turns out it’s the Violet…HOW LAME!)

Scooter Guy – Showed up to my house on a scooter for our date.  Then told me he stopped at REI  on the way to buy a sweater because he was so cold.

Bipolar Boy – Found the meds in the medicine closet when I was snooping around for dental floss.

Bipolar Boy #2 – What are the chances?  Learned my lesson the first time…so BYE BYE!

Nutty Professor – Was actually writing a research paper on crazy baseball fans.  Glad our tax dollars are hard at work.

Asshole Andy – Basically he stood me up on my birthday.  Yes, this is his REAL name.

Overbite Boy – Need I say more?

Belgium Boy – Sexy accent, but ended up being OCD about money and investments.  He literally asked me if he should buy another oil well or finally furnish his empty condo????

No Job Bob – Felt bad for the guy (we’ve all been there)…but probably not the best time to be searching for Mrs. Right.

Boulder Brent – Obsessed with Boulder in every shape or form…thought of it more as a utopia than just a bunch of rich people living in a bubble.

Barenaked Brian – Decided he would shed most of his clothes off in 3.2 seconds with no warning to moi – for a moment I thought I was in a Sex and the City episode.

At least this list – is long and distinguished.  And it’s growing by the week.  I wonder what they say about me?  Hmmmmm…..

    Lisa, I think Barenaked Brian got that move from a “How I met your Mother” episode. You’ll have to find it on YouTube; I know you’ll laugh when you see it, especially since someone tried the move on you. Sorry to hear about Asshole Andy; what a douche! Also sorry that it didn’t work out with Belgium Boy – I thought things were promising from him, based on earlier blog. I’m still rooting for you, and wish you good luck.

    YIKES! I gotta say, this is NOT sounding good to me. I think I like it better under my cozy, little rock :) You went out with a Jersey Shore reject?? (is that like the department of redundancy department or what?).

    I guess Scooter Guy sounds the most promising??

    omg – this is hysterical. Not the fact that you had to go through all of this, but your take on it all. Make sure you keep up that positive attitude. Are either of the bipolar dudes named Dave? (if so, thank god you did the “turn and run”). I somewhat resemble the nutty professor with my baseball research and all…ha! I have a few single guy friends in Denver. I’m not sure of your type but they are all better than these (ahem) winners you’ve been out with!

    AAAAWWWWW… Overbite boy, give him a second chance! It’s not his fault! And… oddly enough, I’m having strange fantasies about ivy league cowboy and Mr. Gold Chain!

    Phew I don’t think I recognise myself in any of those descriptions. A good list warning for the male readers I think.
