Match.com another creepy first date?



Yes, the text that you see above was in fact sent to me by a guy I saw only once, on a first date. To be exact 10 minutes after the date ended and the date was the first and the last.

And please allow me to explain why.

His pictures -although a bit blurry- were not so bad. I gave him the benefit of the doubt: guys are not exactly into putting a lot of effort on displaying their best 'graphic material'. Strangely enough they choose to put pictures where they are with a bunch of girls (that are totally the opposite of how you look like) or with other dudes that are actually way hotter than they are.

Yes, yes. I read his bio -Of course- And that is why I decided to go out with him.

I saw him coming into the place: very tall, nice built... but wait... Do I see Botox on his cheekbones? and to top it all off (FYI my all time UN-favorite)  are his eyebrows thinner, shorter, more dramatic than mine? Mmm. To put it in more mundane terms, the date didn't even started and I wanted it over because basically:

I.Did.Not.Like.Him.

But I also thought: how will I just walk away, how will I justify that I needed to go just right after taking a look at him, If I was him, how would that make me feel when suddenly 'disqualified' by the way you look? or worst because of the way you look, you suddenly 'make the cut'?

Really. Awful thinking.

I decided to stay and get to know him. So I did. He didn't like the place I chose, a little wine bar, so we went to a Pub where we tried to talk, but the conversation was not flowing, he was interested on watching the game that was on the TV at the bar and would only have less than 'four word' comments or questions about totally random topics.

He also managed to chugged down, four vodka tonics.

I decided that it was time to go, and as the lady I am, I proceeded to gracefully leave the scene. He put me in a cab, was completely sure that there were not going to be more dates as when I was saying good bye, he said 'yeah, yeah nice to meet you, blah, blah, thank you' I smiled at him and closed the door.

And then of course, the TEXT.

Tonight, I have another  match.com first date. We'll see how this one goes.

...He also seems 'normal' on paper.

Coming out of the fog

I know. It's been a long time. But in the spirit of giving new life to this blog (and to myself) I will start posting about my journey on writing my first novel which was greatly inspired by supervillana's sessions.
