After All That

Submitted by Ryan:

Beth agreed to meet me at a restaurant for dinner.  Not too long after I had arrived there, she called me to ask if I could go pick her up at her place.

I made it to her house and knocked on her door.  No answer.  I called her.  She was on her way home but wasn't there yet.  Would I mind waiting?  Sure.  We had the date planned for a little while, but I'd want to be treated with patience if I was her, so that's what I did.

Twenty minutes went by and she didn't show up.  I called again.  She told me that she had decided to go right to the restaurant.  Thanks for telling me.  Back I went.

There I was.  Where was she?  I called her up.  She said that she had decided on a different restaurant.  I asked her if this was her way of blowing me off.  She became angry when I suggested that and told me that she was at another restaurant.

I went to the other restaurant and sure enough, there she was.

She asked me, "What took you?"

I told her, "You did."

Was it worth it after all of that running around?  No.  She couldn't make a conversation for shit.  I spent most of the time asking her about herself, while the entire time she wore a grin like she was so glad to even be out on a date, regardless of how it was going.
