Well, I haven't done much SD'ing lately, too busy getting accustomed to my new commute and work schedule. I am staying with family in the suburbs until my condo in Manhattan becomes available. Such long hours riding the freaking train; now I know why I hate the ‘burbs.

To break the monotony I placed an ad on my favorite website and received a few interesting responses.

I met another Mongolian, Zia and we had dinner at a steak house near Rockefeller Center. We were supposed to meet again at Cafe Centro in the Met Life building, a relaxing hangout conveniently located near my train station as well as some business hotels (terrible, I know) but she canceled due to a photo shoot. I think this is the first photo shoot excuse I have gotten so far. Strange because I promised to give her a monthly allowance. The chemistry however, was a bit strange in that she seemed to hold back a little. Maybe she was just being cautious about meeting a stranger in a big city?

On Monday, I will be meeting a bimbo for dinner. She looks like one but I have not spoken to her on the phone so I don't know how she sounds. She seems a bit weird but I hope it works out. Very attractive, indeed.

And tomorrow I am meeting Celia from da Bronx. I swear she uses da in her text messages instead of the.

Here is a snippet of our text messages:
Her: Hey I have some questions for you. But am sitting in class now until 2PM and will text you later
Me: OK
Her: So, are you looking for something long term
Me: Well, we can play it by ear, something to last a few months at least. Let's see how the chemistry is
Her: Me too hopefully until xmas lol. A friend with benefits would be awesome. I still haven't found sumone
Me: Well. I look forward to meeting you, we'll have lots of fun
Her: I always have fun. Hope that don't scare you away. lol
Me: I don't scare easily
Her: Ok so get ready to be adventurous. When you get to the place go wait by da bar until I come. I know all the bartenders. Can't wait to have a martini. I am sitting in da class now and it is f'in stressing
Me: OK, see ya

Her spelling and command of the English language is just great. We are meeting at the Palm on the West Side where its sufficiently far away from da Bronx. She knows all the bartenders? What has she done in that place and how often does she go there? Does she live there? I wonder how many other SDs she has met there. Or maybe this “wait by da bar” deal is a test. Maybe her brother works at the bar and she wants him to check me out? Who knows. Anyway, Hispanic accent from the streets of the Bronx notwithstanding, I look forward to meeting her. She has some great curves and sounds like a lot of fun on da phone.

What a bunch of characters I am meeting lately!
