Phone book frenzy

As I was talking to a co-worker the other night, about men, relationships and sex. I literally got hit on by five different men throughout the duration of that conversation! She then told me I can’t take you anywhere now a days can I?

I sat there, laughed it off and told her that although I somewhat like the attention, it can be a little bit bothersome at times ~ I surely do not seek it! She witnessed a little bit of what I endure on a daily basis and was amazed at how many lame and not so lame pick up lines/men I deal with. She then began to ask me how do you do it? I simply responded I am just being me.

The fact that I am enjoying life, and have that care-free attitude, it what lures people to me, i am not afraid to speak my mind, be a goof-ball, and just love me! There was a time in my life when I was full of self doubt, hung my head low had the whole woe is my line down to a “T”. Now that I have let the “real” me come out, the one who love me is when the phone book frenzy began. The countless numbers, many of the names I do not know, some I do no want to know and others are plain out trouble!

Which goes back to my most recent blog women are the new men! I can not help it, I am a social butterfly! Working in such a diverse environment and following my journalism nose, I run across the most interesting people from artists, to chefs, to poets, to writers, to businessmen etc.. I see a potential story in almost everyone I meet and It has become second nature for me to just to give or take an email or number, which eventually turns in to something another name in my phone book that may or may not be looked at!

She then asked me how do you keep all these numbers straight? You are like a guy! And as I was looking over my 300 something numbers, I thought to myself WOW! Maybe I am getting out of control. But am I? I mean guys have been doing this for ages and I am sure other women are doing the same thing but are just too afraid to admit it. Which goes back to the whole she is a slut

Come on women I know I am not the only one who has 6 or more Do not answer’s , (we did not know they would go nuts on us)3 different Tony’s, 2 different bartenders, and a slew of names that we cant even remember for the life of us. I think its pretty awesome that the tables have turned and, women are finally comfortable with collecting numbers and calling men on a need be basis. There is nothing wrong in admitting that! Isn’t that what being single is about?

So yeah rule 2. Phone etiquette!

You get his number, or you give him your number. What is the rule on how long he or you should wait before calling. I have had guys call or text me that same night, ones that wait till the next day , the typical 3-day-rule guy, and those that fall after that time line.

Does the “first” call set the bar for the rest of the relationship? I have found it to be that the one that calls that same day turns out to be a stalker, the one day guy can be a little pushy, the three day guy is a little confused, and the one that calls 4-7 days later is a player and your number probably got lost in the shuffle of women. Depending on my interest in the guy I have to admit I have probably done all of the above, I may text right away to say how nice it was meeting him, I may text 2 days later because I am involved in another mess, and well any time after that, those will be visited at a later time when I am bored. Does this rule exist, is there a calling rule after receiving or giving out a number?

I feel like I ranted with this blog , o WELL!
