I went on a date Friday night with a guy that I met on Match.com. He was a 37-year old DJ/ customer service representative. Physically, he was my type to a T. We went to Crave the dessert bar in Charlotte. I was excited about the date. I spent over an hour on my hair and makeup. I wore a cute dress and a pair of black heals. I really wanted to make a good impression so I pulled out all of the stops. I was even 20 minutes early. It did not go as well I would have hoped.
- Timber, You better move! We met up in the parking area near the restaurant. He was very cute. We had to walk up a few flights of stairs and down a cobbled street to get to the restaurant. My heel got caught between the cobble stones and I tripped and fell right in front of the restaurant. I skinned my knee and my shin pretty bad. I was so embarrassed. I kept saying I was fine.
- Being a Fifth Wheel is never Fun. We sat down at a four top and he sat beside me instead of across from me which was a little odd for me. Then it turned out that some of his friends were at the table beside us. They were chatting and taking shots. It was awkward for me because they kind of pretended like I was not there. His friends left and we moved to a booth and finally had a chance to get to know each other.
- He is hung up on his EX. Within a few minutes, he started to tell me about his ex-girlfriend that he had broken up with three weeks ago. He told me that all she did was drink and party. He only dated her so long because she had a miscarriage last September. (It was kind of awkward.)
- He parties like it is the 1980’s.Then I tried to change the subject and asked he were he went to school. Then he told me that he flunked out of school his first semester and his second semester he snorted his tuition ( $25,000) up his nose. He has several back teeth missing.
- He calls his roommates Mom and Dad. His guy was 37 years old and had lived for his parents for three years. He said that he did not work for three years because his parents did not make him. Umm…ok
- Extra Terrestrial. My lovely date told me that he thought that he was an alien. (At this point in the date I ordered a much stronger drink.)He told me that he was really good at manipulating people. (Obviously he is really good at manipulating his parents, but I don’t that makes him an alien.)
This date was interesting to say the least. I actually had a good time. I really wish I could meet someone perfect for me but in the mean time I feel like I am lucky that I get to meet so many unique people. It really puts things into perspective.
