I like to dress up for dates, so when Scott arrived at the restaurant in a dress shirt and pajama pants, I felt inclined to point it out.
He said, "I'm out of pants. Would you rather I showed up pants-less?"
"No, but you knew you were seeing me, tonight. You couldn't hang onto a pair of pants for the occasion?"
He explained, "You don't understand: I lost them all due to circumstances beyond my control."
I wasn't interested in whatever "circumstances" he dreamed up, so I dropped the subject and the evening wore on. Over the next several minutes he complained about his roommate and how she wouldn't sleep with him.
I said, "You do realize you're on a date with me, right? Like, now? This very minute?"
He said, "Yeah, but dating's about romance and junk. I just want my roommate for sack-play."
"Uh-huh."
Long, long, long after I decided there wouldn't be a second date, we took a short walk around a park across the street. He kept asking me if I wanted to go to a movie. I said I had to wake up early the next day and couldn't stay out too late. He then gave up on asking me that and asked me if I'd put a hand into his pocket.
At that point I wished him a good night and left. Are guys just not trying anymore or what?
Yeah OP, all guys, everywhere, ever, are not trying anymore. You didn't get the memo?
ReplyDeleteI see no flaws in that generalization.
ReplyDeleteWhelp, you could opted to not be a masochist and left after calling him out on those screaming red flags. Or just blame every guy in the world instead.
ReplyDeleteI know it feels bitchy to just act how you actually feel and shut a date down rather than stay through a whole dinner and then continue the date for a walk afterward but honestly it gets easier with practice.
Fizzik, where is that last gif from?? I feel like I should recognize it, but it escapes my memory...
ReplyDeleteHere ya go.
