So I did it again, yup, decided to go on a date with someone who was outside of my guidelines. In this instance was a bit older than I'd been looking for AND had a six-year-old at home.
First he changed our date location (it was supposed to be a half-hour coffee thing) to a bar in a restaurant; so I had to meet him, after I met him, after another 10 minute drive. Sounds like a ploy to me, somehow suspicious.
Then he complimented my face, how pretty. Why thank you. "You look just like your picture!" I don't know why you're surprised, it's a picture of me.
We were talking, he asked me a question and I shifted in my chair to face him while I answered. He didn't skip a beat, "I like that too." In reference to my chest and remaining upper body.
*shudder*
I had errands to run, since this was supposed to be a short coffee-thing I didn't run them before-hand; I tried to excuse myself politely, he said "Can I go on your errands with you?"
Um, no...I have to pay my rent and buy cat litter...that's not a date.
It almost felt like he was trying to arrange to get me alone in a car, weird, he kept pressing it.
After another 15 minutes we left the restaurant, I agreed to meet him for a second date...using my three-dates rule, after all.
However, in the coming days he would write me more and more familiar emails -- nothing bad or dirty, but too familiar for someone I just met.
I had to tell him, I just couldn't go out with him again, because of this familiarity.
I really have to re-think that three date rule.
You wouldn't be having these problems if you lived in New York. Location, location, location...
ReplyDeleteThere are tons of NY transplants out here. I'm not what they're wanting.
ReplyDeleteUnless you mean that single, non-elephantman-looking, job-having men just drop out of the sky...in which case, they'd been in three separate locations - depending on when they started their fall.
LMAO! What I mean is, I'M in NY. You're on the wrong side of the country!
ReplyDeleteStory of my life. Ah well, I look better from a distance.
