Okay, some of you know I had been pursuing a certain someone from here...

But that is not my conundrum... apparently that resolved itself last night. (Although I still have high hopes.)

This is my conundrum I pose to you all:

There is this lovely man in Washington, DC that is pursuing ME. (yes, it does happen).

He is NOT from Mingle, so don't bother searching for him. Eventually I might show y'all his stunning mug.

He is a 5'11, 165 lb, federal prosecutor w/depart of justice who prosecutes financial crime so he gets to throw rich bad guys in jail. He graduated from UC Berkeley Law, and athletic, into soccer, arts, local theatre, eclectic movies, and hiking, and can be very mellow, sarcastic & silly at times.

We started talking over "Atlas Shrugged" and "The Fountainhead".

He is very stunningly handsome, like DAZZLING you could say.

(But I still miss and prefer the preacher's son.)

Anyway, as some of you know, I have been bemoaning the loss of my phone recently due to bad politics with Alltel.. (bet you thought I was going to say Obama).

Anyway, he asked me if someone might be able to pay online my phone bill. I said, yes, I do it all the time, why?

Well... He just paid $116 on the bill. That covers me for Nov-Dec. (I don't have to pay again till Jan...)

Sounds like someone is more interested in me than I thought...

Or really misses the sound of my voice...

I mean, we've been flirting since Mid-August, but I keep deleting him from my profile (you know how my temper is when people take more than a day to get back to me).

He just keep re-requesting my friendship and we've been emailing and calling each other since early Sept.

Do you think he likes me?

I mean, he keeps setting up trips for me to come out there for a weekend, and then last minute chickens out and cancels the flights.

Do you think he is nervous?

Or is he just toying with me?

Just a little confused here. Which one paid for the phone bill and the trips? The DC guy or the preacher's son?

Wish I knew better but, I'd say if he keep's canceling, he could be toying with you. Perhap's it's his job?

DC guy.

Preacher's son and I had a falling out last night. Nothing ever came of our friendship which we had thought was developing into something more.

Not nearly enough information to reach any sort of definitive conclusion.

I think he wants you to THINK he likes you. The underlying motivation(s) for that are currently unclear.

he likes soccer,dump him

i just like looking at myself twice on the threads

That's what I just had to explain to my friend. I can understand the cancellations though, he just went through foot surgery and the first flight we were gunning for coincided with him being thrown ALL the Guantanamo Bay cases on the same day.

We have talked about it and he does want to have me either come out or him come here and get the first date out of the way.

We talk everyday and email each other hourly when I am unable to talk. We spend hours on the phone, which usually results in him going to bed WAY late (time difference) and waking up groggy in the morning, but he still does it every night, except Fridays. (He is a glutton for punishment, I swear).

LOL well you are a fine man to look at, so enjoy it!

You mentioned (Preacher Guy) and yourself ended just last night, but that you still have high hopes. So basically it sounds to me as if you are just using DC guy in the meantime. JMO

Stop right there! If he has the job he said he does, he'd be WORKING many of these night's at home. Not spending them on the phone. I smell a red flag.

Damn, you're good! I didn't see that at all.

Oh, I've been buffaloed. Make it sound like you've got a good job, spend money on the woman. It's an "investment" in getting what he want's from her! God know's what that may be.

Sounds like it, but DC and I have been yapping a lot longer than PG.

I just yelled at DC for doing what he did (paying the bill) and he said: 'no big deal, just doing my part of the economic stimulus plan

...although rather be a different type of stimulus for you

you should not be without a phone'

And to answer Shoestring: he works until 11PM KS time, which means about 1 AM DC time? Then he chats with me for about 2-3 hours. I have yelled at him about that too. He still does it though!

I'm curious, with all the online security, how does someone pay your phone bill?

"I mean, we've been flirting since Mid-August, but I keep deleting him from my profile (you know how my temper is when people take more than a day to get back to me).

SHE keeps deleting him... and he keeps re-requesting. I'd say he's interested and perhaps she should quit toying with him....

Credit card. My ex used to pay my Cable and the church used to help with the electricity back in the day cause I didn't have a credit card. I just recently got my pre-paid one.

I fill it up every month (this is from an earlier thread) with just enough to pay ALL the bills. however, this month I thought I would change my phone provider and got screwed in doing it, hence me neither having a new phone or having the old one I already have working.

They must have their password to do so.

That's what I'm thinking. I can't go online and pay your phone bill without it!

Exactly.. so she couldn't have told him "no" too much. lol
