Who U Lovin' Who U Wanna Be Huggin' - PART I

"There are lots of fish in the sea"  - but I'd rather chill in the sand rather than take part.  But for the sake of VONI ISNT PERFECT  (I hope you notice the sacrifices I make for you guys ) and my sanity (no one wants to be the lonely friend)  I will try.
Now that I'm back in the dating pool I am quickly coming to the conclusion that "dating" is pure comedy.  In the past I've never really "dated" around in the true sense of the word. Previous boyfriends have been guys I've known before hand and wouldn't have considered having a relationship with in the first place. But because all of them have not led to the ultimate commitment *marriage*, I am trying a new formula.  


On one of my many lunch breaks (I don't smoke however I feel that I am entitled to as many breaks as a smoker) I spotted a well-dressed young man in front of my building.  Dark-skinned, average height and from what  I can tell he works out often- maybe in his late 20s.  I checked to see if he had a lit cigarette in his hand.  I am trying to come out of my comfort zone and ease up on my "MUST HAVE" list however; I will not date a man who smokes ANYTHING. 
No cigarette... Great...  We make eye contact. I smile.  He smiles back.  Im thinking tomorrow I will strike up a convo.  I check the time. Mental note: Lunch break for "him" is 1 o'clock.

Now you know the next day I was 15mins late for work trying to find a cute "work outfit." Smh.   
Work. Work. MORE Work. Telephone Calls... Finally its lunch time. 

I step out in front of the building and there he sat on the steps. Alone. So what did I do?  I called my girl on the phone and casually sat next to him as if this wasn't planned at all.  He smiled. The jig was up. 
I then tell my girl I have to go although she knew that was coming. Before she hung up she asked if he had a blackberry?  A girl has to have standards right?? lol  

"No Lunch for you today pretty lady?"

Yea one minor detail I must have forgotten.

LUNCH!!!

"Oh, I've eaten already. Unless you plan on sharing your pizza."

We both laughed.

I will spare you with the flirty details. Let me fast forward to the "interesting" parts of the conversation.

All of a sudden he blurts out ..

"Summertime is the best time of year. Do you know why? Because there are lots of women. Beautiful women with big butts. You know what I mean?"

Dead Silence...

Actually I did understand what he meant but is that something you say to someone you've just met???? 

Normal conversation continues... I find out he is a temp at my job, he lives in Brooklyn and he works out at the gym right across the street.  At this point, I'm thought we could exchange numbers and take "this" one step further.  He must have read my mind because he pulled out his Blackberry to check the time. However he didnt ask for my information...

"Do you know any spanish women and if so do you have pictures of them.. like on your phone??"

"I'm sorry..what?"

"Spanish women.. I like spanish girls and I was wondering if you knew any?"

"Yea, ok. Um... Let me ask you something before I make an assumption about you.  Do  you think because I sat down next to you and engaged in a conversation, that I want to date you?"

He laughs although I hadn't said anything that warranted a chuckle. I was dead serious.

"Im sorry. I didn't mean to offend you."

STRIKE ONE...

He later tells me that he has a girlfriend at home and she is in fact of Latin decent and that should explain his interest in latin women.His explanation made no sense whatsoever but I let it slide.

Here comes STRIKE TWO

"Living in NYC, a man can never be faithful even though he decides to "commit" to a woman. Its just the way NYC works..."

W.T.F.

I mean who is this guy?  This is proof you should never judge a book by its cover. This guy is an idiot to say the least.

As I stood up to walk away in shock of course, he says

"I've offended you again, haven't I?"

"Actually, you were just being you. Enjoy the rest of your lunch. I will be seeing you."

Yes, I got up and left.   I was over it.  

**The next day we meet in the elevator.  He tells me that no one has ever left him mid-conversation.  He promises to make it up to me by taking me out to lunch since I was evidently offended by something he had said.   I declined...***

Is this what I have to look forward to??? IM NOT IMPRESSED!!

Voni V*I*P*
