So I left you all with the cliffhanger of my mom setting me up on a blind date. Well the gentleman and I had been communicating for the last 2 weeks. Conversation was good, never really any awkward silence, so when we finally scheduled our 1st date I was excited. Nervous about going out with this man I have never seen before, but excited about that same thing. We planned to go to PF Chang's, or should I say, I planned to go to PF Chang's after I shot his suggestion for Olive Garden down with an Uzi.
He says "I'll call you on Saturday around 4 o'clock to get directions." "Ok, sounds cool." I say. Saturday around 4 o'clock comes and he calls and says, "I'm washing my car right now, so I'll call you back within the hour to get directions." Hmmmm I think, but "OK", I say.
5 o'clock comes and goes... 6 o'clock comes and goes... 7 o'clock comes and "Hey I'm jumping on the highway now, how do I get to you?" I give him directions and say to myself "STRIKE 1".
He finally gets to my house and greets me with white roses. AWWWW pretty, but your still 3 hours late, I think to myself.
Conversation is flowing on the ride. We get the the restaurant and there is of course an hour wait. So we go wait at the bar. He begins chatting it up with another couple and then the woman offers him a taste of her cute pink Grey Goose Cosmo....and to my astonishment, he accepts and sips this complete strangers drink..."STRIKE 2"
An hour later we finally sit down to dinner, by this point he has asked several people if the food was good as, "I've never been here, but she says it's good". Ok it was funny the first time, now it's just annoying.
We eat, we chat, we chat, we eat. I learn all about his ex wife, and his step daughter, and who his ex wife dated after the divorce and about the hot tub and pool at his "old" house and,...you guessed it "STRIKE 3". So for my very first blind date ever, it was decent. Definitely not a Home run, I guess we'll call it a Foul ball.
Just like that...Next Batter Up!!!!!!
Ok so this is funny but I'm not the one on this date! I waited to see what happened and this was the outcome. Now, I'll have to say you are a very patient person because I might have excused myself and caught a cab to the next bus or train station.
ReplyDeleteStrike one he's late not 1 hour but 3 and his car seems to be more important than the date, but maybe he didn't want a lunch date but a dinner date so he gets the benefit of the doubt.
Strike 2 and this for me is a deal breaker drinking out of some chicks drink you never met or even know, YUCK!
Just Like That...I'm outta there!
