Dates are like Interviews... pt.2

I don't know about you, but I have been on many many many job interviews. Recruiters really like my resume, but the companies I meet with don't seem to think I'm right for the position. On paper I seemed to be qualified, but apparently not in person.

So, I went on a date few weeks ago....

His specs:
Job: Teacher
Ethnicity: Korean
Lives: Toronto
Memorable Quote: "I am extremely cheap"
Height: 5'6 (I am 5'5, when we were standing on a small slant I was taller than him)
Religion: Something that sounds cult-ish

Guys!! If you are cheap, DO NOT announce it on your first date!! The word cheap has a negative connotation.

Anyways, I thought the date went well, he had a great personality (although short). We knew a lot of the same people, dated a girl I know and even went on a date with my friend few years ago! The girl broke up with him because he was in a cult-ish religion.. He did try to justify it (but I agree with her) ... He also talked about showing me things in the future (I'm not sure why guys do that!? They can talk about something and NOT say, "I will have show you sometime" I don't really need to see it!).. That is giving false hope! It's like in a job interview when the interviewer starts talking about all the tasks and changes you can bring to the company with your skills.

He told me to message him when I got home, which I did and I thanked him for the evening. He said, "Your Welcome" and then nothing after that!

One thing I appreciate after a job interview is the follow up. Whether they keep me in the loop about what's happening with the position or sending me an e-mail or a phone call to let me know that I didn't get the job, or that they will not be proceeding with me.

I must say I am guilty of the lack of follow up as well. It is hard to turn someone down, especially when there isn't another prospect. But either way it is courtesy to let someone know you won't be pursuing them.

This one knew I had a blog and thought he wouldn't be on it because the date went well.. Oh wells, the follow up is part of the dating package.. For those cowards who don't want to reject your date after (just informing them there is no future), think twice before not doing it. You might end up on a blog!

I don't  know what it is about this pandemic, perhaps it's boredom, but I have been willing to go on more dates, even though I have gain about 20 pounds after gaining 40 initially! I figure if they can like me with my pandemic weight, they really like me for who I am.  Specs: Asian Works for a weed company in Hamilton Used to write jingles Lives in mid-town in a condo, his brother and parents live in the same building Drives a X2 He has a J name, it's actually one of my favourite names I am not sure if all women do this, but when I am excited about a date, I will eat less the night before that way I am not bloated the next day, and give myself a facial that way my face looks refreshed. During this pandemic, my skin has been going through some horrible shit, I have broken out many times due to the sun. This time the night before I gave myself a facial Dermologica Hydration mask, drank lots of water, and I worked out. I ordered a dress online from H&M that I have deemed a...

Thought It Was Going To Be Kismet

 I went on Bumble because I was falsely hopeful yet again... My work friend have gone on some amazing dates (she pays for Bumble, I should real pay at least for two month). The date that I recently went on. Specs: 42 We actually went to the same middle school and high school YouTube content creator - Toronto & Travel content Smart/Intelligent Lives at Yonge and Eg No car Broke up with this girlfriend 6 months ago Father passed First it had annoyed me that he wanted me to pick the time and the place. The first, first date we were supposed to go on he cancelled because his friend was moving to NY and they were throwing a going away party. That was fine, I ended up flying out to Vancouver for the weekend. When we picked a new date, again, I had to pick a time and place. Since my girlfriends and I were going to do brunch in Toronto, I decided to meet at 2:30pm at a cafe by Bloor and Christie. I also wanted Hodo Kwaja (Walnut Cake) and I needed to pick up new face lotion, so it was ...

Slowly Being Ghosted??

 Not too sure what happened after date 3.. He was all of a sudden a lot busier.. didn't message as much. I sort of understood where he was coming from.. He doesn't trust his trainers so I guess he has taken on more clients, considering he charges $250/hour that goes straight to his pockets. We were supposed to go on date 4 on Thursday because on Friday, I was going to Chicago.... but he had messaged Thursday afternoon to tell me he's not in a condition to meet up and have a conversation.. and slowly.. the messages are far and in between... sus? We were still chatting here and there, since I lost bowling, I owed him a facial. I didn't want to take him to a $200 facial that I've been wanting to try and I didn't want to take him to a facial place where I didn't know their standards. So, I asked him if he wanted to go to a facial or see Tina Turner musical. He said definitely the musical. I went a head a purchased the tickets for $300 (both). But because of his ...
