I hate dating.
I think it's because I'm too nice.
So, I think I went on a date tonight. I didn't think I was. I made a new acquaintance and what had begun as possible afternoon plans became evening plans because my day was too jam-packed.
This guy was just...well, there are few things.
Lack of confidence really REALLY turns me off. And he just wasn't rockin it. Also...he's kind of a hater. Like...way too cynical and negative about the world. And although he was a bit older than me, there was an immaturity to him that I wasn't hip to. Anyway...I thought it was just hanging out...but then he payed for the meal..and then..well, it was just awkward. There just wasn't anything there to connect with..and I think he really wanted it to...and I just wasn't feeling it. So, at the end, I was like - so yeah, it's late and I have to get up early - which was true. And I still had a few things to take care of at home before I went to bed. And so I just started to walk away and that's when I realized he might've thought it was a date...he had that look on his face that said "really...no kiss goodnight? umm..ok"
awk...
...
...ward.
So yeah. That happened. I dunno...now I gotta tell this guy I'm not into him..and I don't wanna be a bitch - but I'd be a bigger bitch if I made him think he had a chance. Meh.
I did do something really stupid though. So, on the way back from dinner we stopped in this bookstore and I found a book about that detailed the Black Plague epidemic. I bought it. i know...WHY?!?!!?!? Most of my irrational fears stem from this epidemic...and I already know way too much about it. Yet...something told me to buy it. Even though there's a silhouette of a goddamn rat on the cover.
So...add that to the list of books I'm reading: Disneyland, Steinbeck, and Black Death.
Good times.
Haters can Suck It!
life,
the single life,
irrational fears
