The Journey

Southern Comfort

Wednesday, May 26th

I met Southern Comfort for drinks at my spot! Wednesdays are always fun at Sherlocks! I was a little nervous about this date, almost expected it to be a total and complete bust. Mississippi small town boy has some southern habits I’m not too particularly fond of. He sends texts and calls me babe in them. While I’m all for terms of endearment, I don’t care for them prior to a first date, or right after really. Babe especially, it’s a term that requires feeling to me. Maybe I’m being too hard on him, but it just annoys me really. Sometimes men try too hard to do and say the things they THINK woman want. This would be one of those things that they are mistaken on. For me at least, I am sure other woman would love it.

Good news though! I was actually pleasantly surprised our date was a good time overall! He is a little goofy, a little nerdy! He seemed to be a gentleman which is always a plus. We shared some laughs, we danced a little (although, I don’t like grinding and at times he got too close. Downfall! I don't want to feel your ish dude, I'm a lady!). But, all and all it was good. I mean I wouldn’t say perfect, but good! It probably didn’t help that half way through our date I spotted the man of my dreams who happened to be hanging out with a guy that my friend knows. Lori – set it up girl! Terrible, I know!

Southern Comfort seems like a decent guy so I’ll probably go out with him again and hopefully to play some Top Golf soon! I’m open to see if there is anything here.

POST DATE UPDATE

More texts with babe and a conversation that went... You are hot, I couldn’t keep my eyes off you, I think you are awesome, Sorry I didn’t listen, I was distracted by your beauty. In a five minute conversation, that’s a lot.

WHATS WRONG WITH ME! Why am I annoyed? I can’t think of a single compliment Jake the Snake ever gave me and always wished he would, but this is TOO MUCH! Southern Comfort is way too over the top. Isn’t there a happy medium?
