It started out poorly, I was supposed to meet someone for a drink and a face-to-face, but instead he cancelled, or, more accurately, didn’t say he’d be there so I didn’t go. While I was checking my email I get an instant message, Almost40Balding is IMing me and…after a short exchange decide to meet up and talk. Of COURSE he wants me to meet him at his apartment…but promises to be a gentleman. So I figure, well, if he doesn’t kill me I’ll come out ahead, and I go.
First I got the worst directions…and then I got into an accident on the way there. :-/ I can’t find the building, apparently I’m around the block…I move my car…and we go up to his place.
Well, I sit right down on the couch…he sits as far away from me as humanly possible. Never does he turn the T.V. off, so it’s constantly in the background. We’re talking, trying to learn about him…so, what do YOU do for a living? He talks and talks…interesting yes, but talking. So Creepy, what do you do? I start talking about it…two sentences in “Oh, so you work on computers.” Wow…blunt and dismissive…what more can I say, but Wow!
He keeps talking about watching a movie or something when I say “is my conversation that boring?” Of course it isn’t.
Two hours later I have to go…he was true to his word, a gentleman. And though he said he’d love to see me again, I don’t think that’s the case – never got an email and certainly never a phone call.
Word to the wise…if you had a great time but are not interested in seeing me again, please, just say that. I know I'm not everyone's cup of tea, but at least have the fortitude to say it. :-$
