You Can't Be Serious

So I was at the mall Saturday with mama. We had a pretty cool time, just the two of us hanging out finding some winter clothes for my lil' sister. We were on our way out and these two guys stopped us. So me and mama turn around trying to see who was trying to get our attention and they come up. They look okay ... nothing to write to the mayor about, but cool. They both have about million tattoos, a few golds, but I'm like I can get with it, because that used to be my prefernce. So the first dude tries to get at my MAMA! I looked confused, because I was. He had the nerve to say why would I want the basement (referring to me) if I could have the master bedroom. So the other guy was that there tried to strike a conversation with me. I wasn't really feeling it, but I was like I'm not really talking to anybody right now, so what can it hurt. I give him the number.

Sunday he calls, and at first the convo is real cool. About 20 minutes or so into the journey of discovering who he is, Dude says, "So yeah, my birthday is on Christmas." I'm like oh yeah ... how old will you be, even though on the previous day he had already told me that he was the same age as me, 22. But his replies, "I'll be 20." 20??? I thought you said that you were the same age as me. Dude then replies, "I thought you said that you were 20 and I said that I was 20 too." <-LIAR!! So at this point I'm ready to hang up and not talk to this child again. My age limit is 22. I prefer that the dude is not younger than me. So I talk to mama about it and she says to give him a chance. I ask my home-girls (because they have all been in situations similar to this) and they say the same. ::Leah::, ::Whanda::, ::Kendell::, all but ::Cassie::, who says hell no! Don't do it!

So I decide to give the dude a chance. I figure we'll at least be "phone friends" if nothing else. I call and this dude doesn't give me info about himself. After about an hour and 45 minutes I don't know any more about Dude than I did at first. Every question that I asked was too personal. He didn't feel comfortable telling we ANYTHING! But get this at the end of the conversation, he says "I really enjoyed talking to you. I hope that when I call you tomorrow, you'll answer the phone." Right.

Fast forward to yesterday. Like a nut, when he called I answered the phone, but I decide that he would be the one to lead the conversation so that way we would only talk about things that he would feel comfortable talking about. How about this dude didn't say anything for about 10 minutes. I mean complete silence. Dead air. I ended up asking him, "So am I going to get some conversation out of you today?" He came with the lame excuse that he feels more comfortable talking in person than he does on the phone. In my mind I'm thinking your last name is too personal, but where you live isn't? That makes no sense. He asks me to come and visit him on Thursday <- He doesn't have a car, so he can't come see me. He is loony. I don't know this dude but he thinks I'm coming to his house. ((Shaking my head and rolling my eyes)) I don't get this young guys today.
