So….a few weeks ago, after chatting back & forth with an online match for a while, we decided to make plans to meet IRL for cocktails at a lovely bar/resty on 61st & Lexington.
Said gent was a few years older than me, worked in data forensics (still have no idea WTF that is exactly) and lived in CT.
Phone convo went fine, except that eve he was dog-sitting for a friend and the dog was barking incessantly…
HE: “Sorry, this dog is acting up.”
ME: “He sounds really upset. What type of dog is it? He sounds enormous from the bark.”
HE: “A Chihuahua.”
Oh.
Anywho, we met at resty the next eve and things seemed to go fine. He actually looked liked his pic (attractive) and convo was moving along quite seamlessly. Then, as I ordered a delish prosecco & grapefruit cocktail, convo turned to dogs…
HE: “You said you have a dog right?”
ME: “Yes, a Pom and she is a darling.”
HE: “Do you have a pic?” (I showed him one of Midtown Pups on my bb)
ME: “Do you have one of the Chihuahua? (He shows me around 5 pics of said dog on his iPhone) Wow. You really like this dog!”
HE: “Yea, it’s my neighbor’s. She travels a lot.”
Oh…she?
ME: “Oh ok. Just curious, is this an Ex or just a neighbor?
HE: “Not an Ex, but you know…”
OH. ICK. This was the beginning of the end, but on the way to closing credits, jerkface happened to throw in some tidbits of info.
Some highlights for you dahlings and reasons why the date didn’t last long enough to garner a full Character Breakdown post:
- His use of the word “Gel-met” as in Gel Helmet, to describe an over coiffed hair-do, particular found on those who live across the Hudson.
- While describing some of his dating preferences, “I don’t usually date women my age bc they are, well, kinda…infertile. Right?”
- On his exes, “My last 2 ex’s were psychos. Like really psycho.”
- About his last date, “The last date I went on, I think the girl was high off of Zanax. She fainted on the floor. I didn’t help her up.”
- Regarding the resty ambiance, “The music in here sounds like an 80’s nightmare.” (they were playing a Madonna song)
- Describing his Korean subordinate at work and why he has trouble being a team player, “I have to promote projects myself. You know how Asians are, right? Kind of quiet and submissive.”
Date. Ovah.
kissies,
oh lordy… though I am totally quiet and submissive :PPPP
What an a-hole! God I wish he could meet my Korean fiance he’s def put his ass in his place. Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience, thanks for sharing darling, I have so much fun reading your posts 🙂
Much love,
Glendy
Ohmygosh! guys like this actually exist?
It’s a good thing you’re a smart girl and got out of there. 🙂
Oh jeeeze! eeek, are there any sane men left in the world!?
Gee, sounds like a real winner! Da da da…Another one bites the dust! haha
Ouch, LO-SER! Sorry you had to endure those painful few hours dear.
Oh I’m so sorry you had to endure that, but I love living vicariously through you! 🙂
Wow, this sounds like a joke, or like a snippet from a bad date on a comedy…smh
AHAHAHAH! “infertile” – what a winner! And of course the last two girls were psycho, i’m sure he drove them crazy.
Oh, I bet you thought to yourself when you left the restaurant – “there are 2 hours, I’ll never get back”.
What a jerk.
