Of course a majority of the guys I go out with are those from online, but this blog has a special meaning with that title. This guy, Brad, was a little too obsessed with Lifetime Movie Network. After the very nice free building breakfast, I left his place to him watching some twisted Lifetime movie with Alec Baldwin where he is was sleeping with his step daughter. Surprisingly, that wasn’t the last time I saw him. He came out to my after church social where he proceeded to tell me the story of an ex-girlfriend that sounded like a script for a new Lifetime movie where she goes psycho and he sticks around longer than he should.

But, we still talk. He is smart, accomplished, funny and we shared a sad story of lost family members and tattoos memorializing them. He is a lawyer in his mid 30s and has ran more than 40 marathons. He is definitely impressive on paper but I don’t know if that translates into chemistry in person. When we’re together it almost feels like friends. All we’ve done is cuddle and when he cuddles, I am treated like a body pillow. I much prefer to not have someone practically laying on top of me, even though he definitely weighs less than I do.

The first time we met was at Hill Country BBQ. He lived just a few blocks so he came and met my friends and I. We were there for karaoke and it was so sweet how he asked me what I wanted to drink before even meeting me. He showed up with my margarita on the rocks with salt just in time for my friends and I to get up and sing some Dixie Chicks. Great timing, Brad. All my friends really liked him and we parted ways that night as I went home with my best guy friend, James, who I think he was crushing on as well!

The second time we met was happy hour with my coworkers. Cleary I am starting a trend of having him meet all my friends, coworkers and church friends off the bat. We were at Barcelona Bar for a bit with my coworkers before heading to Alfies with my church friend, Ann. She ended up heading to a party and then him and I finally had some time to chat just us. Conversation was fantastic except for the what could also be a Lifetime story about some sublet he had from a guy that lit candles for him. He was witty and funny and three hours into talking I realized I left my work bag with my computer at Barcelona. I never saw anyone get a check so fast. Fortunately he was a marathoner, so we got back to the bar quickly and praise the Lord Barcelona had my bag in the back room. I bought us Republicans as Barack O-Bomber shot – red bull and vodka – to celebrate.

I didn’t see him again until I went over to his place after a drunken night out (where nothing happened) and then after the church event. I’m not completely writing him off. We still chat and he probably doesn’t write me much because he says he knows everything about my from my SnapChat. Yes, I have a snap problem but oh well. I’m hoping we meet again and our story takes more of a Nicholas Sparks turn instead of ending up on Lifetime even though he would still be a boy I met online.
