Snow Day!
No fieldwork today, as the school district is closed!!! Yay. It was nice to sleep in a bit. I should probably go out and shovel at some point, but I'm not feeling too much motivation on that front.
Anyhow, I got an e-mail from a guy on a dating site that basically said this: "Wow, you wrote a lot in your profile. To be honest I didn't read any of it, but would you want to talk or meet up sometime?"
-_-
No, I would NOT, since you can't even be bothered to read what I spent the time to write! *huffs*
Well, a few posts ago I ranted about that guy I was seeing that asked my friend out while at MY birthday party. To update that situation, my friend went on three dates with him. Things were fine until the third. On the third, he took her to some really fancy restaurant, the kind that people propose in (no he didn't propose). First he was all concerned that she took some of her food to go and kept pestering her about whether or not she liked it and apologizing for picking a bad restaurant, when in fact the food was fine and she just couldn't eat everything they had served her. Then, after hanging out with him for a while, she told him she had to go (this was around 1 am, so reasonable). He got all agitated and was like 'I'd really like you to stay.' Which, okay, third date, this isn't that bizarre of a request and he obviously likes her a lot. However, my friend either was not ready to stay over and do whatever goes along with that or really just couldn't stay (she didn't delineate which). She let him down gently and went home, but not before he asked her to do something else (I forget what exactly, maybe some museum or ice skating or something) the next day. She warned him that she had family coming over and didn't think she'd be able to, but told him she would let him know the next day. So the next day, she can't escape her family gathering, so she texts him 'Sorry, I can't hang out tonight.' Well, he did NOT take that well! He texted her back 'I'm sorry, maybe someday we can be friends' and hasn't contacted her since!!! Holy dramatic, Batman. She was like 'WTF?' So, either he really didn't react well to being turned down (christ, boy, it's only the 3rd date, keep it in your pants!) or he was somehow grievously insulted that she woudln't ditch her family for him when she had already specifically warned him that she didn't think she would be able to get out of it. She and I both had our share of mystified chuckles over it. Now we're waiting to see if he starts messaging/calling me again, and if he does, you can bet I'll be hosting a suggestion post for what I should do to/tell him if he thinks he can get back in my good graces after this whole fiasco. BOYS!
