So glad I got that tune up!

So it's happened again, but this time...this time my BS meter was up and running correctly. So what happened you ask?

Well it all started a few weeks ago (Doesn't that sound like the start of a nice fairy tale? *smiles*) This guy responded to a profile I had, let's call him Jae. So Jae sounded really like a good match. He was articulate, in the navy, cute, white, single (divorced he said for a year) lived on his ship, 3 kids, and seemed attentive enough.

He asked me out the first weekend for drinks, but I had plans with my GF's for a movie and dinner night. He pushed it a little bit that first night which or course bugged me as I felt disrespected by him not understanding that I had plans. The next time he asked me out I was also busy (HEY what can I say I'm a busy girl!) The next time he asked was for yet again last minute thing and I was again busy. During our first and only telephone conversation I explained that I lead a busy life and don't do last minute things or daytime days...that it raises to many flags that he might be married. To which of COURSE he assured me he wasn't!!! Regardless I told him that I wasn't available last minute.

A few days past and he texts me asking me to join him for a drink, OF COURSE I have PLANS!!! I'm starting to seriously think something is wrong with this guy, that he doesn't get that I don't do last minute meets. HE proceeds to try and manipulate me into meeting him, guilting me by say things such as come on be spontaneous. But I stuck to my guns and my rules and said no. Something wasn't sitting right with me with this guy by this time.

So the next morning I wake up and find a text from him stating he had been taken in. I thought okay strange...for drinking? or what? He said he'd contact me later. I didn'' really think much more about it. I get ready for my day and go off to work.

A few hours into work my phone rings and it is a restricted number. I don't answer restricted numbers and especially since getting my new number in December, only those I want to have my number have it, so it had to have been a wrong number. Bill Collectors don't even have my new number. *giggles* Anyhow the caller leaves a voice message. So I listen to the msg and it's from a woman claiming that she got my number from a Craig's list ad. I was like huh? So I call her back to which she proceeds to say something like were you looking at what we had to sell? I was like uh no, she said oh I must of heard the number wrong, I'm so sorry. I was like okay, no worries.

About 20 mins. later my phone rings again (okay it doesn't really ring, because I have my phone on silence or vibrate constantly) *giggles* but I see it pop up RESTRICTED...this time I pick it up a little irritated thinking I just told this woman she had the wrong number. So I answer hell0o and she says Sarah? I'm so sorry I just called you...do you know a so & so. I said umm yes...she said do you know he's married. I smiled and said to myself see I soooo knew he was married. (mostly to myself) and she proceeds to tell me that she is his wife's best friend and that the wife had found some texts between us. I told her He told me he was divorced, a year and a half now. I said I've NEVER met him. we've chatted on Email and text for a few weeks. But that I had this feeling he wasn't being honest so I didn't meet him. She proceeded to tell me that he had just gotten home from a 9 month deployment, was an alcoholic, gambler, and the wife had just found out that he had been cheating on her. I felt terrible as I had been in the wife's position a few times. I told the friend please tell the wife, I am really sorry, so & so & I have never met & if he calls, texts or emails again I can promise you I won't respond back.

I hung up the phone, shaking my head and said to myself, so glad my BS meter went in for a tune up!

So it truly makes me wonder if there are any honest men out there that are truly single and looking for a relationship. *sighs* good thing I bought the extended warranty on my meter it looks like I'm gonna need to keep it tuned up!
