Trust Your Gut

You would think after all the failed relationships I've had over the years, I would learn that the best policy is to trust my gut. My gut told me that Scott was a mistake. My gut was right.
He called me Sunday morning at 3. He'd been out drinking and decided that I was the person he wanted to talk to. How nice for him. Now, I would like to know, why couldn't you call me at some point prior to 3 AM? We had a little chat about things, I reminded him (once again) that I wasn't interested in games and bootie calls. He informed me he wasn't interested in a serious relationship and that he would never expect a bootie call from me.
Hmmm. Then why are you calling me (drunk) at 3 in the morning!?
Needless to say, there is nothing more to say on this subject. He still has my bracelet, but I'll find a way to get that back.
In other news, I was contacted by a guy from the Ocala area. He found me on myspace and had some questions about Kenny Chesney. Naturally, I was more than happy to educate. We started talking online sometime Saturday afternoon. We moved our conversation to an instant messenger sometime around 7 that evening and we finally disconnected around 230 Sunday morning.
His name is Rich. He's 28, recently divorced and has 2 little boys. He works in Leesburg, lives in Ocala, but is originally from N.Y. He seems nice - pretty down to Earth. Definitely a country boy, which is never a bad thing.
We chatted more Sunday and Monday. Tuesday morning I woke up to find his phone number on my instant messenger. I left him a short message on his voice mail - which he didn't get until I chatted with him that same night - and now he has my number. He asked me out last night while we were chatting. I'm not sure when or what - and I'm slightly nervous because I met him online and I don't think the ex-wife is completely out of his system - but at this point, what do I have to lose?
We talked about Scott and briefly touched on my dating history. I stressed to him the importance of truth and my STRONG dislike for players. Considering all that I've been through in the last couple of years, I have a tendency to automatically expect the worst. The trick is not doing that with Rich. We'll see how the date goes.
