I never thought I would have to write about my pimpin’ experience because I thought you all would forget about it if I let enough time pass. But NO! According to IHGB readers Valerie, Suz, Ann, Catharine, Stef and Linceefan (to name a few) I see that my dating life is something of interest to at least a dozen of you. And that floors me.
Pimpin’ was great. But there was one suitor in particular who made it particularly interesting. He went above and beyond the pimpin’ rules and regulations as set up by webMAN and went straight for the jugular.
That’s right friends. He stalked me on Facebook.
You can imagine my surprise when I received a message from…we’ll call him Dallas…on my Facebook account. He straight up admitted that he wasn’t going to mess around with being “chosen” from a panel and wanted to take a leap of faith and get to know me because he thought I was awesome.
Is it just me or was that a fabulous way to open up conversation with a complete stranger?
I thought it was weird that he never “friended” me though. Later he told me that he didn’t want to learn about me (or me about him) on Facebook. He would rather things unfold naturally. Weeks later, he finally friended me and I was able to discover the truth of why it took him so long. He didn’t want me to judge him based on looks. Because the dude was rockin’ some serious abs. And shoulders. And arms. And legs. Plus he has great hair.
Naturally, I become anxious. Dallas is one of those individuals who works out. I eat pizza for breakfast and drink way too much Dr Pepper. And I can assure you that unless something drastic happens with my metabolism, there will be NO bathing suit shots on my Facebook page. What in the world could we have in common?
As it turned out…we had a lot in common. We shared views on faith and family. He totally got my sarcasm and humor. I found myself laughing. A lot.
But sometimes it’s just not in the cards. The Lord had a different plan from what I thought was going to be an interesting and exciting time in my dating life.
Dallas is a perfect gentleman, loves his family, hilarious, a hard worker, hotter than crap and I’m a little disappointed we didn’t get the chance to make out. (Is that too bold to admit?) Fortunately for me, when I emailed him yesterday to explain that I would be writing about my pimpin’ adventures because my readers were curious, he was more than willing to take one for the team and promised to go out of his way to kiss me passionately should our paths cross again.
I suppose I could allow that. For the sake of the blog of course.
Lincee, you are the greatest catch of all time. Seriously.
Ladies, I have self-pimped. Wanna hear about it?
Can you send Dallas my way? I’m in the big D myself…sound’s like a catch! And please go out of your way to make out with him if you get the chance, ha! Loved the recap.
Sigh.
I am so glad you admitted to wanting to make out with him. Who wouldn’t want to?!
Are you seeing someone else?! Is he?!
And yes SGT Cole – spill on the self-pimping.
Awwww, Lincee- at least it was a super cool start. Sounds like a cool guy, and if anything- you gained a new friend out of it. Great things happen when you least expect it!
Your post on your dating life confirms the solid person that you are. It sure is a lot of pressure to date so publicly. I am sorry Dallas did not work out, but you know, every dating experience is supposed to fail except “the one.” I think that is why dating sucks–there is a lot of seemingly “failed” experience before the right one comes along. But I am sure it was fun to meet someone like Dallas! I pray God’s richest blessings on you as you go through this life, and I am confident in His own good time, you will have great success in the dating world. You have so much to offer the guy who is right for you! Hang in there!
Oh, and since we’re talking about babes, ladies- may I share my latest finding? Anyone watch Tosh.0? Daniel Tosh is not only hilarious, he is seriously hotter than crap!
So why didn’t it work out?
What about the panel-picked guys? How did those work out? Inquiring minds want to know!
Sounds like a nice guy…too bad it didn’t work out (for now – you never now if that path crossing kiss opportunity will change things around some day. hey I’m optimistic okay!)
Oh do spill the beans Sgt. Cole! Why don’t you have a blog anyhow!?!?! You already know you’ll have followers…
You better make out with him if you get the chance – he not only sounds yummy but grounded too!!
Hard to find these days!!
http://confessionsofanexgirlfriend.wordpress.com
Seriously Sgt. Cole – start a blog!! We would all totally follow!!!!!
Lincee – What about the other guys that submitted…recap details PLEASE!!!!
What was the final outcome from Lawrence’s Big Pimpin’ experience?
with Lincee’s permission, I will tell all about the wonderful young woman I met in a blog post.
just for clarification: I met her in a bar, not on a blog post! English syntax is a bitch sometimes.
Dallas is a catch! I’m sorry it didn’t work out, but I’m sure that was a great ego boost!!
Aw sorry it didn’t work out, but that just means there’s someone even better and hotter out there!!
2 things: 1. can you post a picture of Dallas’ abs with his permission?!?!?! and 2. do you read Janet Evonavich’s Stephanie Plum novels? it’s a series…a very mindless, series, that will not make you a better person because you read them, but will make you laugh! sometimes, your comments remind me of Stephanie Plum. if you haven’t read them, you might want to pick up the first book or three. they’re worth it. sorry about Dallas…can’t wait to hear about the make out session though!!
okay, i KNOW that i don’t actually KNOW you. but i read a post like that and i seriously have to remind myself that we are not actually friends in real life. you need to write a book. i’d read every page…and buy the sequel!
I’ll dish out another book recommendation who TOTALLY reminds me of you, Lincee. If you have not read any of Jen Lancaster’s books, you should. I swear you were the same person in another life. You at least share the same sense of humor and writing style…not sure about the life values and all that.
I’d buy the book, too!! Hilarous post. I want to hear about the other guys!! SGT Cole, spill too!
Can we have a sleepover and tell all about our crushes? Teehee!
Maybe you could pass Dallas along to me?! Also, Sgt. Cole should tell of his dating endeavors . . .
I disagree that Lincee’s writing and humor is like Jen Lancaster’s. I very much enjoyed several of Lancaster’s books and I think she can be hilarious, but her humor is much more biting than Lincee’s…it’s more poking fun at how snobby/spoiled she (Lancaster) can be, while also sometimes getting downright catty and mean (in a fun way). Lincee’s humor is a little gentler, and even her comments that make fun of other people are nice on the inside, if that makes sense. I like both of them, but they are very different. Actually, now that I think of it, I’d love to read Jen Lancaster’s recaps of the Bachelor, as well as Lincee’s recaps of starting an exercise program or looking for work, etc.! That would be fun, kind of like big-time bloggers switch topics! Are you guys listening out there?
Ladies and gay men who read this blog – my woman is not comfortable with putting anything online about our budding relationship.
In order to reclaim my manhood after such a setback, I immediately ordered her to make me a sandwich and bring me a beer.
#23 – SGT Cole, we will respect her wishes…but glad to know at least things are going in the right direction.
ROFLMAO at your last sentence….way to MAN UP!!!! I’m a chick w/ a sense of humor so no offense taken. (I’ll leave it at that! LOL)
I vote that Lincee does this daily even after November ends… there is SO much I want to hear her talk about. I will admit, I AM shocked as well that she hasn’t talked about MJ’s movie. Also, here’s an interesting topic that kind of popped into my head when I read SGT Cole’s and Saggleo’s comments- is the 50’s housewife thing coming back? Because I could be down with that! I am educated and have a great job, am pretty independant, but there is something so romantic to me about taking care of my children and husband- cooking dinner, vacuuming the floor with a martini in my hand while wearing a perfectly ironed apron, taking the kids too and from school, greeting my husband at the door with a big smooch… am I nuts??? I think I’ve been watching too much “Mad Men.” Anyone else have any thoughts on the stay-at-home-wife stuff vs. career-gal-does-it-all?
Awww Lincee I’m sorry that it didn’t work out with Dallas. If you are ever in CT I would love to set you up with my little brother
Sgt Cole…you make me LMAO!
SC…being a super klutz I am not sure that I could vacuum with a martini in one hand! LOL. My career-gal-does-it-all is more like gotta-work-gal-so-we-can-pay-the-mortgage!
SC… I am a stay at home mom of 3 little boys. I wish it were like that! Sounds good!:)
#25 SC – I’m totally down with staying at home, caring for the kids and husband. You are not nuts. I think women have learned that as much as we would like to think we can be superwomen and have it all, we can’t.
Women are for children and cooking! BTW, what are all of you chicks doing on the computer? A roast is burning somewhere right now because of this blog.
Yes Lincee do tell of the ‘panel-picked’ guys! I am hoping you have better luck there! Too bad about Dallas….sounds like he had potential (especially his abs)!
Found this little gem on moviefone.com… brought back some of that lovin’ feelin’ I suppose I’d lost… Let me just say, Tom Cruise is not a bad looking man, but one look at him 20 something years ago in that flight suit makes my stomach flip!

Hey Girl – I love the honest update…sounds like my blog.
I’m off on my 6th blind date tomorrow night (my parents met on a blind date, so I have some weird sense of hope). I am praying this is bettr than the past ones and no one: gets sick, tries to pay with an expired coupon, cries, hits on the cocktail waitress, or attacks me with a kiss in an elevator (yes, all those happened on blind dates). A sense of humor with low expectations is key when it comes to dating. Is that bad to admit? Keep the bar high and expectations low…leave plenty of wiggle room for a sweet surprise someday.
Good luck with future pimpin’! If you know of anyone in Denver…
Kari, you are adorable, and I have to say, I laughed at the “expired coupon” part. Sounds like you’re definitely having some wild adventures that you and Mr. Right will laugh about one day!
