All about boys....

The past few weeks have been very eventful when it comes to "boys." First things first...for those of you who don't already know, my sister is pregnant and due December 8th! This will be my first neice/nephew and the first grandchild in our family. Needless to say we all now have "baby fever!" As if it wasnt bad enough already, this past Thursday my sister found out they are having a BOY!!!
Since the announcement of a baby boy addition to the Benner family, I have gone NuTs buying it all sorts of clothes and things! Who would've thought buying for a boy would be so much fun!? I constantly find myself staring at other people's babies and wanting to reach out and squeeze them! I can NOT wait to be an Auntie and hope to be able to see Baby T as much as possible! I am looking forward to visiting my sister in September and helping decorate the baby's room!

Now onto the other boy topic...Recently I have decided it is time to "put myself back out there" in terms of dating, however it is not going so well. I know I might have higher standards than most but what I have experienced lately when men have approached me is a little bit much! Example #1:
My friend Kara's wedding...I had been anticipating this wedding for more than one reason...mostly being a fun wedding to celebrate one of my dearest friends weddings, but also because I knew there would be more single people at this wedding than just myself. (hah!) Fast forward to the reception where one of the groomsman approaches me, it goes a little something like this. Groomsman "So...whats your story?", Me "Umm? What's my story? well I'm 27 years old, live in Indianapolis where I am a property manager of a luxury apartment community. What's your story?!" Groomsman "Well you might already know that I am divorced because my wife cheated on me, since then I have found it very hard to be alone, therefore I am always in relationships including the most recent one where I dated a 19 year old to make my ex wife jealous." (at this point I already have one foot out the door) Groomsman continues "Additionally my dad is a raging alcoholic who divorced my mother after 30 some years of marriage, then she became depressed and committed suicide in Las Vegas.".......WOW....and then he asks for my number..HAH!
Example #2:
A friends neighborhood cookout, rumored to have "a" single guy in attendance. Said single guy shows up, introduces himself and we begin to chat. He then proceeds to tell me about his DVD business and nutrition business that he has as well as how he lives at home with his parents. (I'm thinking to myself...not totally scratching this one off the list but lets continue on.) He starts to ask me about my job as a property manager and then asks my opinion on any good "income based government housing." I explain to him that I dont know much about that type of apartment community but I think there are some decent ones in Fishers. He concludes by telling me he is going to "finagle his income statements to appear as if he can qualify for income based housing and receive government assistance." hmmmmm....not exactly what you want to hear on a first impression meeting...that this person is going to try and scam the government for personal benefit. NICE!

So after those two experiences I'm wondering where to go from here?! Maybe I come off as a good listener so these men feel like they can tell me things that I probably dont want to know, especially on a first impression meeting OR maybe they are doing me (and themselves) a favor by getting the dirt out and in the open?! ...Just another day in the life of a single gal in Indianapolis!
