It has taken me a couple of days to get the courage to actually disclose ALL of this. It is scary.
It shows my vulnerability, my weaknesses if you will. Yet, as you travel this path with me, I hope you see my growth as a person, as a person who choose to ... love.
Okay, this is part of the way it started.
I joined eHarmony.com but they kept emailing me 70 year old men. Even though I lied about me age. I gave myself 10 years (shit, I look 10 years younger than my real age ... for real!) (well, at least I did before the stress and drama of this 'relationship).
Anyhow, eHarmony repeatedly sent me 70 year old somethings. Sorry, no thanks! So, I joined Match.com. The first day I joined I was overwhelmed with responses. Men were coming at me from all over the place. For someone just unwinding from the fetal position this was awesome and well, overwhelming.
The first four guys I talked with or rather chatted with were not for me right off the bat. Two were controlling. One wanted to know who I was chatting with and why. Dude! I just met you 5 minutes ago. Chill. No that's alright. Click!
Another guy was a straight out asshole. He told me he was a man and he expected to be treated like a man. I thought if you are a man, why the fuck do you have to tell me?! Click!
Then, there was cute ass Matt. OMG! I wanted him. He said he was Dutch and from Amsterdam. Oh exotic! Beautiful eyes. Sweet engaging smile. Beautiful lips. Dark hair. Ding! Ding! Ding!
We chatted for a couple of days and gave each other pet names. I swear he had me by the panties. I thought how effin lucky I am to get him on the first outing (take that you soon-to-be-ex-husband)!
I flinched when he stated that his wife and child died in childbirth. Flinched because I knew Amsterdam was not a third world country (nor in the southern United States)! But, I listened to him still until he said, "Oh, I'm over it now." Well, shit. That don't sound right! How in the hell do you get over the death of a wife, well, maybe her but a child!
About 5am in the morning, the next day, I did an google search on Matt. He was a scammer. His name was associated with a lottery scam in Amsterdam. I emailed him breaking off our new relationship, crying over whatever I perceived I lost. Acutally, it was his deception that brought forth tears.
I was being honest and truthful (yeah, I know except for the age, but shit age was not an issue with him), and vulnerable. I was not acting impulsive or so I thought.
Little did I know what was to come (Rod Serling voice).
Here's the breakdown on Cutie. He is a retired army sargeant living in Maryland. He lost his wife and daughter in a car accident while he was on peace keeping mission in Iraq. He had a home that he recently purchased. He lived alone. He had a business. He bought and sold gold.
Here are some pictures of who I thought I was talking to and having a relationship with:
(Yeah, this one is my favorite).
Funny thing is I was never attracted to military guys. I stereotyped them as rigid, conservative, crew cut fanatics. Yet, Cutie appeared to have integrity, honor and all the attributes I wanted at the time (and now). He seemed manly and protective in a way that made me feel safe, just looking at him. And, he possessed attitude coupled with humor (observe the fuck you pics). I liked that and I like him!
