Please Do NOT Resuscitate This Date!
I work 6-7 days a week. I barely have time to cook let alone commit myself to online dating. My friend mama Jo (she is actually only a year older than me) has agreed to online date on my behalf. The reason why she works as suppose to my friends who have tried is because she is fully committed. She is happily married and has a job, she is a successful VP at a large corporation, but has committed herself to my well being over her job. Mama Jo talks to these prospects on my behalf, once they show interest mama Jo tells me, and then I log onto the site and read their profiles and the conversations. If they seem interesting I agree to meet them.
I trust mama Jo's taste in guys in terms of looks, job, and husband material qualities. My first date mama Jo set up I went on, was with a marathon runner with a great job, but I won't go into that in case there is a second date.
Yesterday I went on another date set up by mama Jo. She had forewarned me, "this guy is not husband material, but a booty call". He seemed attractive in his profile, but was trying to push the conversation from PG to PG-13 to AA. We were actually suppose to meet a few weeks ago, but I was sick and had to cancel. Mama Jo had a soft spot for him because she said "he seems like a nice guy".
Specs - some what promising
We had agreed to meet at Bier Markt across the street from my house. I had a wine certification course earlier on in the day, I had 20 mins to get ready. I put on a cute black dress and put on makeup, I mean the whole works! Started off with my Christian Dior Airflash foundation, then Shiseido blush/bronzer, finally finished off with my Smashbox eye primer and brown Stila eye liner. Did I put effort into my look? YES! YES I DID!
I told mama Jo not to give him my number because I didn't want another stranger's number in my phone. So I was communicating through her to relay messages. He told mama Jo where he was sitting. Bad move #1: the restaurant was empty and the dude decides to sit behind a pillar where I couldn't see him, but then later realized he was facing multiple tv's. Bad move #2: remember how I mentioned earlier I dolled myself up? Well.. This guy didn't shave and wore a fuck'n beanie the whole time. I asked him what he did earlier on in the day and he said he did nothing. Like EXCUSE ME! I just came back from a all day wine course and managed to get myself ready for this fuck'n date in 20 mins. He could have at least showered and shaved!
When the waitress came around we ordered water. The waitress came around again to take our order, but we weren't ready so I asked her to come back. Game over move: I was looking at the menu, because again, I had just come from a wine course so I only had lunch and a bunch of wines and the date was at 6:30pm, which means dinner time for most people. I asked him what he was going to order and he said he wasn't going to order any food. I was perplexed because he had agreed to meet me at dinner time, but he had eaten prior to coming?! I don't get it. I also hate eating alone! The I asked him if he was going to drink anything and he said no. SERIOUSLY?? LIKE WHAT THE FUCK? At least order a pop or something. Are you so ghetto that you can't order pop? If you are not in a position to order food at a restaurant, then why agree to meet there? He could have suggested Tim Hortons, Starbucks, go for a walk anywhere/anything!!! So, I suggested we share fries. He had more than his share of the fries!
We were talking about our careers and passions/hobbies, he said he wanted to start a business through Instagram. I pretty much told him to start a business on Instagram, he is 10 years too late. He wants to start an Instagram site for those who are training for triathlons. Has he done one? No. Has he trained for one? Barely. All the information he was getting was from a book, written by a guy who trained for a triathlon and failed, but is a fantastic coach. So, pretty much his Instagram business is on a topic he only knows by reading other people's experiences. I am 35, I can't be with a guy who wants to start an Instagram business on something he doesn't practice or only knows by reading a book. I was getting frustrated with this. Luckily, around the 1 hr mark mama Jo called and I picked up right away pretending it was my boss. I made it sound really convincing. We had left the bar, and I immediately told mama Jo to delete him! In the mean time he had messaged her to say that. These guys know I don't have time to dick around, why not sure the best version of yourself the first time?
The funniest was when he brought up a conversation that him and "I" had, I just said I don't remember things when I read it, so it's best if people tell me in person! Perhaps I should try the paid sites!
On to the next one!!
