Coffee Date of Fail

Jul 30, 2010 21:44

So while I'm playing catch up with anyone who cares what happened to me in the past year or so and hasn't been following me on Facebook or Twitter, I'll eventually get there. Which means (a) what gigs I've landed and (b) the scorecard of guys I've hooked up with ( Read more... )

fail, single, men, bad dates, idiots

Ha ha that's what happens when you coffeedate a baby college-dudebro XD

dazzababe July 31 2010, 02:08:40 UTC

Yeah I know, and that was all the proof I need that college boys are good for hook-ups, not dates. But hey, the coffee thing was his idea, not mine. I would have preferred a hook-up. Although in the daylight and sober, he wasn't that cute anyway.

I never learned his name. He never learned my age. That would make us even.

Dudebros are not generally great in bed either, so probably for the best either way lol

dazzababe July 31 2010, 02:56:24 UTC

True. Though to be fair, the sex I've had with these boys has ranged from fairly decent to wicked awesome. Or maybe my standards just got lower, whatever, LOL.

Strangely enough, the worst encounters I've had are with guys in their late 20s, who should know better. If they don't know what they're doing by now, there's no hope for them.

LOL. Uh, at least you got a frapp?

dazzababe July 31 2010, 02:09:06 UTC

Yep, that was the only good thing about the entire date, LOL.

maiea July 31 2010, 07:06:12 UTC

LOL. Though, really he was 20. XD
(and wow, go you at least for getting guys that young interested? LOL)

Thank you. :-) I seem to attract all these 20-23 year-old boys. It's flattering but at the same time I wonder if I'm capable of getting anyone closer my age to the table.

"He asks the difference between a gay bar and a straight bar."

... WAT.

dazzababe July 31 2010, 21:52:31 UTC

Exactly. At least he didn't turn 10 shades of red when I told him I spin at one. Although maybe he did and I just didn't give a shit.

wwwwooooowwww

That's just um, seriously ...sad. Is the forehead okay?

dazzababe July 31 2010, 21:47:31 UTC

It's recovered.

He asks the difference between a gay bar and a straight bar. That desk is getting a big dent from my head by now.

"Hotter guys. Bigger dicks." :D

1 and 4 I'd have flunked the test as well on, I have absolutely no clue about either without quick access to Wikipedia or something.

Question, though, since I'm getting ready to put myself on the market and will probably have to undergo the coffee thing: Is it better for us guys to flat out admit complete ignorance about these things (like house music) and ask questions, or is there a more acceptable response?

I worry about these things, although considering my last two girlfriends (non-geeks) actually went on to marry bigger geeks than me, I'm wondering if I should actually play it up more. Or start wearing a pocket protector...

dazzababe July 31 2010, 21:46:10 UTC

Glad to answer. :-)

On #1, I wouldn't consider your not knowing about Deadmau5 to be a fail. Most people outside the dance music world have no idea who Deadmau5 even is (and he's one of the best known names...imagine if I had thrown a lesser known like Jose Nunez or Tommie Sunshine..'k, I'll stop now. *g*). Even if all you could name was Tiesto, I'd give you a chance to redeem yourself by hearing me geek out for a few. But to put Tiesto and Deadmau5 in the same category? Sorry, fail.

As for #4, as I said, I have a bit of difficulty explaining roller derby myself. Being asked to draw a diagram was the kicker.

I wouldn't admit complete ignorance, but I wouldn't pretend to be an expert on something you clearly don't know either. For instance, I would be more than happy to explain the difference between house and trance to you. I'm sure there would be topics I would be at a complete loss for that you could explain to me as well. People like to know what others' passions are; it makes us all different and interesting ( ... )

Thanks, I'll file that away for future reference, it's reassuring to know I at least get that right - I usually ask start asking questions, never know when information might come in handy. :)

And next time I meet someone who mentions house music I'll know not to mention Tiesto and Deadmau5 in the same sentence... or if *they* do I'll know they're probably clueless too.

As for the pocket protector I'd run away too, but after after meeting my last girlfriend's husband (they moved in about a mile down the road from out of state recently, long story, might post to LJ or not) and getting into a discussion about collectible card games, I had one of those little introspective moments about being out-geeked in between bouts of thinking "HE'S SLEEPING WITH MY JEN!"
