Friday night I went on a date, which is unusual for me. I don’t usual accept dates on Friday nights. I didn’t have any plans so I decided to go with the flow. My life right now feels like 50 first dates lol. I am having a blast meeting new people, and going out but BOY DO I EVER seem to meet some characters. I often wish I had a camera with me recording these situations. Lucky for me I can come home and tell YOU all about it !
To give some background, I met this guy walking out of a restaurant after dinner with my girls. There was nothing memorable about the way he approached me, he asked if we could go for drinks someday. I thought sure, why not. (I am trying this whole open mind concept) All week he has been trying to make plans with me, I was really busy and couldn’t meet all the times he wanted to. Finally I decided that I would just try it on Friday night, see how it would go.
First of all, umm… this man is 12 years older than me. UMMMM !!!!! I am not discriminating against age but for me that’s a bit too old. Maybe there would be an exception to the rule somewhere, I am not sure. For now however that’s not working for me. How do I always find myself in a situation where I don’t know the man’s age until it’s too late. I find this out at the beginning of the dinner, almost choked on my salad but I figured I would make the best of it. We were at one of my favorite spots, and again trying to go with the whole “living a little” concept I figured it wouldn’t hurt to at least make it through this date.
As though his age wasn’t enough, all of a sudden he proceeds to talk about marriage. HELLO , this is the first time we have met how do you deem that marriage is a topic we should be discussing. He continues rambling for about 30 minutes, ok fine it was maybe 15 minutes straight about why he does not believe in marriage. Well sir, perhaps that explains why you are single at your age. I am not imposing my thoughts on anyone and saying they should believe in marriage but I surely don’t know why men tell women they don’t believe in marriage. Especially on a first date, there is nothing attractive about that. He goes on to tell me marriage is a scam, it’s all about money and no one gets married for love anymore. He actually stated LOVE NO LONGER EXISTS.
At this point I am trying to keep a straight face, because I want to break out laughing. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? How did I end up at dinner with this guy? What did he think would happen after his speech? Did he think that it would get him further ahead with me. Needless to say, I was ready to get out of there ASAP. I had nothing else to say after his speech, I ate my food smiled and let him bore me to death as he kept talking. I don’t even think he remembered I was there, he was just talking NON STOP.
Date ended, he drove me home, asked me to give him a call again. I haven’t and doubt I will. I say doubt because I am uncertain as to weather or not I need to say something or just not call?
What do you think? Do I tell him it’s not gonna work or do I just pretend this never happened?
UGH !!!! NEXT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
