    I&#039;ve been thinking of starting text message dating... Mainly it&#039;s comparable to online chatting except that you send text messages and get to interact with brand new people that way. I believed it might be entertaining to give it a try seeing that I am constantly playing with my Blackberry. I finally signed up to &lt;a target=_blank href=&quot;http://www.austindatingscene.com/smsdating.php&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Text and Date&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and gave it a shot. A buddy of mine sent me the url over Windows live messenger and seriously hyped it up, so i thought what the hell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Straight away I met this woman from Rond Rock. This woman sounded extremely interesting, works out we like many of the exact music, and are around the same age. We actually made plans to go out tomorrow for coffee so I&#039;ll document the way it went (of course, if meeting ladies with your cell phone really will work).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I became acquainted with lots of different girls too, a few promising and a few kind of strange, nevertheless I made a decision to merely concentrate on one or two considering it really is a whole lot to manage! I wish I can figure out how to consolidate my contacts on my phone, that&#039;d help make things a good deal less difficult to manage. There are actually an amazing amount of ladies from Austin to choose from.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest aspect about this has been I can mail simple texts even though I was at the office, at the mall, no matter what, much like I had been texting my buddies... Sometimes staying riveted to the computer will get exhausting you understand? I had a fairly interesting conversation with this one woman when I was visiting relatives even! At any rate whenever you are interested in learning everything &lt;a target=_blank href=&quot;http://www.austindatingscene.com/smsdating.php&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;click the link&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to check out Text and Date, You ought to without a doubt.

    Oh my God what is wrong with women?  That girl Catherine flaked out on me and I never ended up getting to bang her.  You should see the weird email she sent me trying to explain why she didn&#039;t want to see me anymore.  That is one of the things that pisses me off about women is that they are horrible liars and they lie all the time.  I mean I wish she would have just told me the truth so I could have learned something from the experience but that is not how it has been going down for me sigh.  They just make up something ridiculous and I am supposed to swallow it.  Ok, perhaps guys can be like this too sometimes but I have been trying to be as honest as possible since my wife left me.  Speaking of honesty though, I should be more honest with myself and realize that there is no way I am going to get into a relationship with someone only 25 years old.  I went through my list of the girls I was talking to etc and deleted those that were too young.  I now have a new age bracket that I am going to use all the time.  I am only going to be pursuing women that are 27-45 now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hopefully putting the age down to 27 won&#039;t be too bad.  It seems from my experience which is kind of limited that once women hit about 27 they stop acting like foo food donkey biatches.  Not all of the them of course, I mean this is a bit of a generalization but it is a good gauge to use when I search for new girls to talk to.  So I have been going through the online dating site that I am a member of and I have been sending out messages to women that are in that age range.  One thing I have learned is that you can&#039;t just create some random message and then cut and paste that to all the girls you initiate contact with.  You have to read their profile in detail and then when you message them you have to use something from their profile in the message you send them.  The thing that sucks is when they don&#039;t say much in their profile.  Then you have to put something generic like you sound like an interesting woman.  I also noticed that females prefer to be called women vs being called girls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the new girls errr I mean women I met recently is 41 and her name is Tabitha.  She looks much younger just like I do.  I think I look about 35 and so does she so that is cool.  She runs her own consulting business for small businesses.  She is one of these people that gives seminars and is very outgoing etc.  I told her we should get together for coffee because I have concluded that is the best way to do a first date now.  She was a bit hesitant at first because I think she is used to having guys take her out for dinner but fuck that, she needs to earn dinner first lol.  So I told her to meet me at this cool coffee place called Bouldin Creek Coffee House around 4pm.  I got there early so I could see her mannerisms as she came in.  When she did come in, she looked extremely confident.  She came over and I stood up and she gave me a hug hello which kind of surprised me.  We sat and drank coffee and chatted for a few hours.  She seemed a bit uptight and a bit formal but I guess that was just all her training kicking in as a defense mechanism or something.  Eventually we left, she gave me another hug and we parted ways.  I have been chatting with her off and on this week and I asked her out for dinner this weekend, waiting to hear back from her.

    Hey what up everyone.  Thanks for coming back to my blog.  I am really grateful to my loyal readers.  Let me bring you up to speed on what has happened since my last entry.  First of all, I redid my profile on the online dating site.  I really spent a lot of time writing down and thinking about all the things I really like and do not like.  I do not get as many responses since I made this change but the messages I am getting seem to be higher quality and more qualified.  I don&#039;t seem to be wasting my time as much anymore.  I went on 4 dates since my last blog entry and 3 of them were a total waste of time and money.  The girls I were with were not my type for one reason or another.  I have only been on one date since I changed my profile and that date went pretty well.  I am pretty much starting from scratch yet again with this new profile.  I am going to spend tonight and well every night for that matter going through the site and sending out messages to the new girls that have joined the site.  The good thing is that there is fresh meat that join the site everyday.  Every single day you can login and look at the new users and you will see lots of girls of all shapes and sizes and ages and stuff that just joined and haven&#039;t yet been bombarded by lots of guys.  I prefer to just message the new users now than going through the site.  Also when I first go back online, I pretty much contacted every hot girl that lived close enough to me so now I pretty much only got the new users to deal with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#039;t know if I&#039;ll make it home tonight, but I know I can swim... under the Tahitian moon.  I never really understood what those lyrics meant but I think I do now.  I think it has something to do with what I posed above.  Anyways, I am probably boring you guys with this shit.  Let me tell you about the date that I went on - the new girl that actually went well.  So she replied to my messages on the dating site and I took a while to read her profile to make sure we actually had the same interests.  For example, I like to watch certain tv shows religiously so I need to make sure I am going out with girls that like to watch TV otherwise I will end up with someone I am not compatible with.  I am starting to become a firm believer that you need to be friends with a girl first before you can form a relationship.  For me what I usually do, is I look at the girl from strictly a romantic point of view, what does she look like, is she sexy etc.  I figure I can deal with her personality probably.  This I think is the wrong way to go about things because it hasn&#039;t worked for me in the past.  Ok so let me tell you about this good date I went on with this girl named Catherine.  She is 25 and she works for her dad&#039;s company in import and export.  She is quite attractive and I asked her to go out for dinner with me on Friday night.  I will tell you how it all went down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I told her she should take a taxi and meet me at this col restaurant called Iron Cactus Mexican Grill &amp;amp; Margarita Bar.  It is a cool place and obviously not fine dining but I waned to take this particular girl to a place that wasn&#039;t so formal.  I took the last 3 girls I went out with on dates to nice restaurants and it ended up being a total waste of money.  They also said they didn&#039;t really like the place and I was like wtf bitch, I just dropped $200 on a dinner grr and you don&#039;t even like it or appreciate the food.  Fucking donkey whores.  Anyways, so I got to the restaurant at 6:15 and I was 15 minutes late.  I was in a bad mood overall since the previous 3 dates were all shit and I wasn&#039;t expecting much from this girl so I purposely showed up late to see what she would do.  To my surprise there she was sitting and smiling when I walked up to the table.  I made up some lame excuse and she just smiled and said don&#039;t worry about it etc.  I was like ok cool, so we ordered some drinks and started to order food.  The food was pretty good and the drinks were really good but the service was kind of slow.  After dinner we hopped in a taxi and headed over to her place.  She invited me up and we went up and had a drink.  I kissed her a bit and then we fooled around on the couch for a bit.  Eventually I left but I had a really good time.  I am going to go and see her again this weekend but I am not sure if she is the one for me.  At least he has restored my faith that not all women are flakey dumbass donkeys.
