I just got back from an epically bad date. It wasn't bad because anything weird or unusual happened. It was bad because I knew from the second I saw him that I was absolutely, in no way, shape, or form, attracted to him. And nothing he could do or say was going to change that. Plus, he was wearing way too much cologne. I can still smell it. Blech.
He was late, to begin with. Never good in my book, particularly on a first date. We met at the Waterfront, a bar a few blocks from my house (not that bar). As soon as he walked in I knew. He was just odd looking. Ginormous eyes, and an itty bitty mouth. Like the kind that looks like it could possibly be missing a jaw bone or something. Not unattractive completely, but totally not attractive to me. To give you a point of reference, he looked a little bit like Quentin Tarantino. Some may find that attractive; I would not be one of them.
He was also a slow talker. Took forever to get to the point. And when I asked him a question, his answer invariably started with "A week ago, last Tuesday..." He took forever to get to the point. If there was a point at all. Just an odd duck. I felt bad ducking out early, but seriously, it was painful. I couldn't wait to get home.
Oh well. He was one of 2 dates I have lined up for this weekend. (I know. I'm a busy girl.) Date number 2 is with P, a musician. As N has said in the past, musicians are yummy. P certainly is promising. I will tell you all about it after the date.
By the way, the date was so painful, it almost drove me to smoke. Instead, I went to Jack in the Box and got a Jumbo Jack and fries. I will be working that off tomorrow in my Athletic Training class of death. I figured it was better than smoking. Wish me luck for Sunday.

I could tell this is what prompted your need for a cigarette before you even said the words. Late, odd looking, AND a slow talker...that would have driven even me (a total non-smoker) to crave a cig. Glad you resisted the urge but now you have me craving Jack in the Box and they don't exist out here :-(
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow with date #2! Can't wait to hear all about it. Hopefully he won't be quite the odd duck that this one was.
Jack in the Box is my favorite fast food burger. And there is one just 3 blocks from my house. Dangerously within walking distance! Not so good for my attempt not to put on weight from quitting smoking. But, since I had to choose between smoking and a cheese burger, the cheese burger won.
ReplyDeleteHe was so odd looking!!! Huge eyes, but not in a pretty way. More in a Marty Feldman in Young Frankenstein kind of way. Hee hee.
Good girl for not smoking!!
ReplyDeleteAnd if there is one other tiniest silver lining to a bad date, it's that you get to make a few people laugh telling us about it.....
Have a great time on Date #2, like Cyn I can't wait to hear about it!
