Second date was going swimmingly, then he began to eat some bread. Not a big deal you may say. And normally, not a big deal. He began eating the bread creating quite the pile of crumbs on the table (notice the lack of eating over a plate). He noticed the crumbs and hastily brushed them onto the floor. OK. Not a deal breaker. A third date was arranged.
Third date began a week later at a nice restaurant. He was dressed snazzy- then I noticed his shoes. VELCRO!
Not like this:
The "ironic" velcro shoe- semi fashionable in the hipster sense.
But like this:
With about 100 miles on them.
Ok ok....carry on with the date. Its just shoes.....
We begin to eat. He never unrolls his napkin- just brushes his pizza ridden fingers on the rolled up silverware.
Ok ok.....carry on with the date. Its just the table manners- again.
Then the awkward silence settles in. One more hour till movie time.....I filled the void with a bunch of chatter.
Ok ok.....carry on with the date. Its just a lull in the conversation.
The movie began. He began to sweat- noticeably. Now, I can't knock the guy for sweating because I sweat like a man most of the time.
Then I hear this noise.....I tried finding it on youtube but couldn't find an exact match. He kept pulling his lower lip out and in really fast......for two hours.....straight..........
Stick a fork in me, I'm done! The movie ends, I thank him for a nice night, tell him I'd call him if I wanted to see him again, and walk myself to my car.
Fast forward to one month lather. I am on match.com again and within 5 minutes of me being on there, I get an e-mail from him. I look at the "who's viewed me" tab and see that he keeps looking at my profile. His e-mail stated that he had a good time but didn't see it going anywhere. Oh boy.
Now I know that I can't be too picky, because, let's face it, there's not a whole lot out there. Yet, I have to have some standards :). On to the next dating adventure!
