Double Booking

I went where few women have ever gone before. I entered the world of being a player. One night. Two Men. Two Dates. I successfully executed a double booking, or as my SATC fans may call it "a Charlotte."
I had no intention of booking back to back dates...here's what happened.
I met guy #1. We made plans Tuesday to go out Thursday night because I was headed out of town during the weekend. I thought guy #1 was really sweet and nice and cute so I agreed to a weeknight outing.
Then on Wednesday I got an email from guy #2 inviting me to a happy hour event. Guy #2 and I met weeks ago and he told me we should "network." That was a lie but more on that later...
So, because I was intrigued by this networking event with guy #2, I agreed.
I would "network" from 7-8:30 then meet guy #1 by 9.
Well here's the problem with double booking...what if you really like the first date!
That's what happened to me, I didn't want to leave at 8:30...and suddenly it was 9:15 and guy #1 was calling. I told guy #2 I had other plans and darted off to the second show.
But during this date, all I could think about was the first date..and I compared everything this guy did to everything the first date said. I bbm'd my friends that I was emotionally drained by the whole experience.
Because the first "networking" date was so amazing, the second date never really stood a fair chance. We haven't had a second date, while me and Mr. networking have have dates 2, 3, 4 & 5.
To sum it all up, girls I would not recommend double booking. Sure, it's an adrenaline rush knowing two men are chasing you...but we're women, we're not men, we were not cut out for this juggling stuff.
And another thing! Mr. Networking later told me that he knew I was going to another date! So what's the point of double booking if the guy knows what you're up to...

  2. Wow. I love your posts man. I totally agree. We're not equipped to man hop like that. Because we'll always like one over the other. And it's a little harder to disconnect when we're feeling it.

  4. What I honestly think is youre far too emotional for your own good. Dont think drawing the line between women and men on those grounds fair. But then again, double booking is also one crazy thiung to do. Ive done two consecutive dates on two consecutive days but not this. Good read though, never forget to have fun!

  6. I somehow stumbled across your blog and I coudn't help but find myself relating so much to some of your posts! Especially this one. And dating a guy you're not proud to bring around! It must be because we are both in the 20somethings!
