Mistaken For A Lesbian, Chapter 4: Is it my haircut? Why Do I Call It A Haircut??

Ah, it reminds me of something I heard when I was in me 20s... I'd rather have a bigot think I'm a lesbian than a lesbian think I'm a bigot. Simplistic, but, in my case, truth.

What did D lie about???

Not him. I had been on like a hundred first dates at that point after my divorce and one of the weird things men lie to you about is height. Men who are 5'9" tell you they are 5'11". Men who are clearly 5'8" tell you they are 5'10" as if you will never meet, and if you do, you won't notice that they're short. My feeling on this was, if I can't stand short guys and you're short, the jig is gonna be up once we're face to face, buddy. (I have nothing against short guys, btw.)

So when a guy I had been talking to suggests we meet, and also says kinda matter-of-fact, "Oh, you can't miss me - I'm about 6'3", fat, dark hair, beard, glasses," I assume that it's all true, except he's 6'1". So imagine my surprise when this guy shows up, and in his shoes he actually is about 6'3".

I'm 5'11", but I don't look it because I tend to slouch.

Not too much to tell about the first date - he was 15 minutes late, and I was about to leave the designated meeting spot, having learned that the guys who are late for a first date aren't serious or are conflicted about the dating process, and late = no second date. They just don't call back.

The funniest part is that a female friend of his had advised him to make lots of eye contact in order to look more friendly, so there we were sitting on benches in the museum, him staring at me, and I thought, what the hell is this guy's deal? Is he some kind of serial killer, or does he just really like staring at girls or ...? hee hee.

You;re not the only one who would feel for her wallet after being blessed. What that say, I don't know... Happy Easter, anyway!
