What Goes Around Comes Around?

My aunt thought she had someone for me, yet again.  Specs: teacher lives on his own near Etobicoke Christian few years older than me While I was speaking with him something felt familiar. I continued to speak with him and I knew who he was. I asked him some questions pertaining to him.... He turned out to be Super Christian - Not a Match . I knew this wasn't going to work out. But I suggested we meet to appease our parents. He said, 'I remember you, we didn't work out because you were lost in faith" .... yeah.. that was the reason.. I told my mom that I had already met with him and that it didn't work out. She thought because he had a new job teaching that things would work out.  He still helps his parent's at the store, but he just started teaching. We decided to meet at the Starbucks near my place. Funny, when we first met it was at a Stabucks near my place when I lived Downtown Toronto. We grabbed coffee and walked around the block 4 times.. He doesn't d...

My mom is still on the hunt for finding me a man. Her neighbour friend knew a guy who apparently is SUPER NICE! If you haven't guessed my mom is pretty savage. She told her friend I was fat, to warn this guy (and people wonder why we girls have complexes and body image issues)! Spec: Born in Korea, came to Canada when he was 15 Works for Bosch Appliances as a repairman Lives in North York Has a younger sister My mom trying to hook me up with a guy is like throwing wet paper towels to the ceiling and seeing which ones sticks. Talking to this guy was like pulling teeth. It was sooooo painful. Because of the quarantine, we had no lives or updates to talk about, we also seemed to have nothing in common. Travel is a big part of my life. I asked him if he liked to travel. First he said yes, but then said he hasn't traveled much and that he was waiting for "someone special" to travel with. THAT IS A PET PEEVE OF MINE!!!! If you have only been to Korea and Vancouver...

Going the Distance

Due to my lack of dating experience, this was the first time I realized just because the person is great on paper, doesn't mean he's great. A lot of the times there is a reason why a guy "great on paper" , but still single. But why am I still single? I guess we will get into that later. Anyways... So, this was another Korean Mama Drama set up, but this time this guy was: My mom's sister's (my aunt who lives out West) church member's son! So anyways, this guy was 32 and I was 29. He emailed me first, but because it was an awkward situation he wrote a light introduction email (green flag) . From that point on we were writing LONG emails everyday and bbming and eventually talking on the phone. We talked about meeting and he suggested we meet in Montreal during a 3 day music festival. I said sure, but prior to making my friends spend money so I can meet a guy, I told him I would like to meet him first. So, Canada Day long weekend... I made my trip out We...
