What was I thinking? ::Join in::
Last night I was chatting with a friend about some of our past relationships and some of the things these guys have done that were outrageous. We found ourselves cracking up about how ridiculous some of the things were and what the hell were we thinking dating these guys.
So lets swap some stories about some of the guys in our past.
I was dating this guy for a little while when I first graduated high school. He was about 6 years older than me and was always freaking broke! One day I get this enormous boquet of roses, I think it was 2 dozen. Not cheap by any means, so I was curious where he got the money. He had signed the card "Your blue eyed guy" I called him to thank him and tell him that while it was super sweet it wasn't necessary. He just kept gushing on and on about how he wanted to and that I deserved it and not to worry about the money. Fast forward a few days and I get a call from the florist. She wanted to know if I could give her some information regarding the flowers. I started to get a suspicious feeling that was confirmed when she told me that the flowers had been purchased over the phone via stolen credit card!!! She kept asking me for the name of whoever sent me the flowers. I told her I didnt know becuase there was no name on the card. When I confronted him, he admitted to it! He had taken the cc# from a transaction at work and then called it in. He thought that no one would notice the charge!!! 
Anyways, the florist harassed me a few more times and then finally gave up. Looking back now, I have to ask myself what the hell was I thinking dating this guy!

no!
Here is a story about one of the douches I dated...he was really sweet and seemed to care but did too much to try to impress me. For instance, we were trying to figure out where to go eat and we ended up at this casual Mexican restaurant...which is just come as you are no reservations needed. So we are outside of that restaurant, it's not busy and he calls 411 on his phone to get connected to them, he asks the restaurant for a reservation and they tell us just to come in no reservation needed. He had reservations for every place we went to, which was kind of annoying to me. And at some point of our short term dating relationship, I had spent the night over at his apartment and left some contact solution and extra toothbrush there. And one day we were talking on the phone and he said that his ex had come over and went ransacking his apartment and found my stuff and took it...which was a total white lie (he was probably dating a few girls at the time and dumped it). The first time I used his bathroom in his apartment he even told me I could go through his bathroom and snoop around if I wanted. This should have been a red flag to me but for some reason my head was in the clouds, ha-ha.

I feel like all the guys that I dated until H have some level of doucheness. Two that come to mind:
My first serious boyfriend= convicted criminal (parents loved that one!)
Guy I dated= told me I wasn't as beautiful as his ex-gf (we're friends now, I really like to tease him about that one)
Luckily I found H before I did too much more damage. Yikes.
I dated this guy that was from the kind of family is that is lower class income-wise, but refuses to believe it. Because of this, they were always making comments about how they had seen whatever clothes I was wearing at Wal Mart and they would NEVER buy clothes there....so the fact that they saw it there because they shopped there was okay, but they were better than me because they didn't buy clothes there. Give me a break! My parents were trying to clothe me on disability checks!
I also dated a guy that thought he was the smartest man EVER. He liked to call me and recite poetry that he had written and that was just too far beyond me to understand. He also made me watch him perform a one man dramatic play in his living room. So full of himself.
Ha! I'll play!
In college, I was engaged to a guy with whom I had AMAZING chemistry. Looking back, we didn't have a whole lot else, except he was a douche.
Toward the end of our relationship, he took up snowboarding. In February of that year, I told him not to get me anything for Valentine's Day (which fell on a weekend), and that my gift to him would be to send him snowboarding with his friends for the holiday. He was very pleased, and begged me to join him on the trip to a nearby ski resort, and finally I was pursuaded.
I'd never been skiing or snowboarding before, so he stayed with me while I was fitted for rental gear. Then he took me to the top of the mountain and told me he'd see me at the bottom! No help, no lessons, no nothing! He lapped me four times, and once asked me, rather disgusted, "Are you crying??"
His friends finally took pity on me and showed me how to snowboard. I did one run. It was miserable. And Valentine's Day!
To this day, I'm puzzled as to why he begged me to come with him if he didn't really want me there!
I think we broke up a couple months after that.
I dated a guy once who literally lost his job.
He worked for this small construction company, which was basically one other guy. Every morning they'd meet at the same coffee shop and then go off to whatever jobs they had. Did a lot of maintenance stuff for property management companies.
I can't remember exactly how it went down, but one day the boss didn't show up at the coffee shop, or didn't call him to tell him what time or something along those lines -- something that could have been easily solved with a phone call. The guy I was dating was just like, "well, he hasn't called. I don't know what's going on. I suppose I'll go back to school instead." Um, really?
In retrospect, he was probably fired and didn't want to tell me. His mom was talking about buying a house in town and he was talking about going to live with her. And he got offended when I said something about him trying to work part time while going to school.... but he was a douche all around so really, I shouldn't have been surprised.
i was seeing this guy, he was a "single dad" & had full custody of his 2 young boys. he was the biggest sweet talking bullsh!tter i've ever met! after seeing each other for about a month he tells me that his job is transferring him to texas..and that he wanted to just remain friends because he couldnt deal with a long distance relationship.
i was pretty bummed, because he seemed like someone i could really get into. anyway...so it had been about 2 weeks that i hadnt talked to him because he said he was going to be doing some training in some other state(i cant remember now, where). one day i get a call from some girl, asking me if i knew him. so i told her everything..turns out it was his WIFE!!!!!! she had been in guatemala on a church mission building homes for the needy, and while she was gone for 3 months her husband decided it was the perfect time to cheat on HER!!! biggest @sshole ever!!!!!!!!
OMG! I can't believe he would try something like that, especially with his kids in the picture. Were they just expected to not mention you to their mom? Creeper.
