(no subject)
So, I've posted about this a lot on Facebook and I've been joking with friends about it, but I wanted to post in my LJ about it since LJ is more than a place for me to PMS all the time.
Thursday night I went out for coffee with my friend Lynn. She's a girl I met in college and kept some sort of friendship with. She made some stupid choices and we lost contact for a while. She brought her new boyfriend along and quite bluntly got to hear about her sex life for the past 2 or 3 weeks that they've been together. *sigh* because there's nothing else I would like to hear about after about 2 years of not seeing this girl.
Well, before the night finished Nick, the new boyfriend, had set me up on a blind date with his friend Rob. On Friday the two of us were to double date with Lynn and Nick.
There are some things you should know about me first. While I am not exactly religious I am not easy either. It takes a lot of work and a person who touches a special part of my heart to kiss me... never mind even getting me into bed. The only person who has ever managed either is Russ and when he did he was there for me in a time of need and he was exactly what I needed at the time. That said, I am still a huggy, cuddly person with the right person, or someone I am comfortable with.
Anyways...
Friday night comes. I am already dreading this date because blind dates don't work. I've already been on enough of them to know. At 7pm I show up at the CheeseCake Cafe all dressed up and ready for a night of great food, and later some drinking and dancing at the bar.
He shows up late. His GPS took him to the other side of the city to a residential house... even though Lynn and Nick told him it was on the West side on 170th. We say a whole of maybe 5 sentences to each other because he's busy talking to Nick. In that time we established that he speeds, he just joined the military, and doesn't like anime or cartoons. He's ok looking, but not exactly interested.
We leave and I follow Lynn to her apartment to drop off her car so she and Nick can drive with me. Rob is driving to the bar to meet us. While waiting for Lynn Rob calls me to tell me that he doesn't think he'll make it to the bar. He only has $60 left for the week and doesn't think he can afford it.
What? So you agreed to take a girl on a blind date, go to an expensive restaurant, and then to the bar... even though you can't afford it?
SO we say fuck him and go to the bar anyways. We ended up showing up early so while waiting for the bar to open I get another phone call. He's trying to bum some money off his dad so that he can go.
Wait... what? Uh... ok.
So we go into the bar because he says he isn't going to be there until 11:15pm... we got there at 9:30 lol. When he finally shows up we chat a little and go dancing. This guy can NOT dance. Lynn and Nick compared him to 70's disco and that's pretty accurate.
While we're chatting I discover that he likes heavy metal music and I like country/pop/slower songs. His reaction? "Well, I could learn to like it"... which was encouraging, but I'm already seeing that we have NOTHING in common.
SO what does he do? Wraps his arm around my back and starts rubbing it. Then he looks at me and asks if I would kiss him.
I nearly fell off my chair laughing. Kiss him? I'd rather kiss Nick lmao (Gawd no)
So I tell him that I don't kiss on the first date. He, of course, asks why, and I say that I just don't. He isn't happy with this.
Over the date I found out that he just turned 22 which makes him a year younger than me. I'm a firm believer in the 3 year rule. Guys are 3 years younger than their age. This guy acted like he was 16, never mind 22 or 19. He was childish, naive, and stupid. The best part of the date was going home and laughing with Lynn and Nick as I dropped them off after their date.
The BEST part EVER?
After being cranky the rest of the night because I blew off his kiss and then leaving early... he sent me a text today.
