No need for the walls to talk when you can hear through them...

A while back this REALLY cute guy who lives in my building hit on me and I shot him down; partly because I just wasn’t in the mood and also because I have an unofficial/official policy about not taking a dump in my kitchen lol. Meaning, I don’t date guys who are that close to home. I just can’t help but think of how awkward it would be to come home and see him going out with someone else or what would happen if he turned out to be CRAZY and I can’t get away from him because his mailbox is right next to mine lol. Kinda makes the notion of a restraining order a little less meaningful lol. There are just so many reasons why it’s not a good idea.

Well since I’m moving, I decided that I’d give cutie a holla. We’ve always been really cordial and after the last time I saw him, I figured, what the hell. I could have waited until I saw him, but I decided to leave him a note on his windshield last night. I’m impatient like that lol. My note said:

Hey,
I don’t usually date men who live so close to home, but since I’m moving next month, why don’t you give me a call.

This morning while on my way to work, he called me. He had no idea who I was initially, (color me conceited for expecting him to remember who I was after a couple of months lol) but he pulled it together in no time. We had a really nice convo. We laughed and joked and exchanged a few vital stats. He seems cool. It wasn’t long however, before I was SMACKED in the face with one of the main reasons why I like to keep my dating life and my home life completely separated. He lives DIRECTLY below me…DIRECTLY. Now I don’t live in the slums, but my walls are thin…and apparently so are my floors lol. We started talking about all the things we could hear from one another’s apartment and I wanted to die lol. He didn’t come right out and say “I’ve heard you getting it in before”, but it was obvious that’s what he was hinting at.

It’s not as if I have Freakfest 07 going on in my place, I mean I’ve only had sex once, maybe twice since he’s been living beneath me. I do wonder however if he can hear me on my…ahem…“solo” efforts lol. I’ve heard a few things before, and I always wondered if they were coming from next door or downstairs. You know as I type this, I am beginning to feel that this is going to be MUCH weirder than I thought. What if I wake up one night and hear some of those same sounds? Talk about awkward!! Its one thing to know someone you’re talking to is doing their thing; it’s another to actually HEAR IT. WOW. Maybe I should have waited to leave that note lol.

lol this is funny, I can hear my neighbors too... every time they shower, get in to a arguement, play music, wash cloths, I hear everything. My naigbors are not loud people but I know more about them than I want to know.

Oh my damn! Yeah, I once gave my number to a guy who lived across the parking lot (his balcony faced my patio). After cursing his ass completely out for some out of line mess he said, let's just say coming home wasn't so relaxing anymore. And that was the end of me dating inside the complex!

Sha Boogie said...

HAHA! Makes me wonder why he hit you up for a date..was it just that pretty face, or did he want to recreate some of those same noises with you..LOL!

My one and only stalker lived in the same apartment complex as I did. When the crazy in him came out I of course had to move. : (

Okay, this so reminds me of an episode of Sex & the City. Samantha and the noisy neighbors.

MsPuddin said...

What types of “solo” efforts are you talking about? I think I just took your topic to a whole other level.

Sounds like the walls in my apartment. I can always hear my downstairs neighbors getting it on. Although, it sounds like dry, boring routine sex. I wish it was more exciting, but hey at least somebody is getting some…

first of all cuzn, I don't know if I am more concerned that you are that loud with folk, or alone. *shudders*

I have heard the naybs and been heard by the naybs, its so odd looking them in the face. But now, if he has already heard the noises, you may as well give him the actions to go with it...did I jus say that? I'm such a man.

courtney said...

lol @ "solo" efforts. lol
Good post. I've never done the dating someone who lives hella close either. Freedom to do and uh..."sound" as you please is vital. lol
