Blind date woes

My blind date was all set up and we were to meet at the coffe plantation at 7pm sharp. i get all dressed up and show up. i bump into this guy with cake and a coffe walking around out front. i figure it can't be my date as he already had food. It was blustery and COLD so i sat next to one of the heating lamps and waited. 15 minutes past 7 i called my friend to tell her i'd been stood up...when all of the sudden the cake and coffee guy comes and stands at my table while i talk on the phone...so i tell my friend i think he showed up...and say hello. i am freezing at this point and i declare my need for a hot coco. we go inside and i order (he doesn't since he's already got a coffe in his hand). i look at him when it comes time to pay and he's looking up at the ceiling so i decided i should pay for it myself. i pay for my coco and we sit at a table inside...me still shivering.

The conversation goes real slow. We talked about my needing to Christmas shop and chapstick. That was it for the whole time. So finally when i can't take it anymore i say i need to get home and let my dog outside. We get up...and he opens the door and walks out ahead of me...but he does wait for me...it appears he's walking me to my car....he earns points for that...the only points of the evening so far....until we get to HIS car and he turns to me and says do i need to walk you the rest of the way to your car?....rofl! i say no, there is no need. i get into my car and drive away.

The very next day i get a call from him. He thinks i am beautiful and wants another date. I tell him i don't think we are a match and he asks why.

Now my theory on people asking questions is if they didn't want the answers they wouldn't ask...so i tell him the truth.

I say...for starters you started the date BEFORE i got there...let me sit out in the cold for 15 minutes while you ate your cake...our conversation didn't flow...you didn't pay for the coco...and you didn't walk me to my car. If we have this many problems with our first meeting i am sure we would have even more if we were to date.

He says...well i was hungry and you said i didn't need to walk you to the car.

NICE...LOL...so hopefully my date with Casey will be better?

No doubt about it, the dating game SUCKS.
Good luck, hope your next date is a little less self-involved.

When will (most) men ever realize when we say, "no, don't worry about it" means that we are already ticked and nothing they can do can repair the damage. Actually, we are trying to give you a way out, since you've already been digging a very big hole and we want to help you get out of your misery.
