I know the thread's gone off topic but i'm posting this only because i was gonna rant about it today anyway.
Two stories. The first happened to my brother. He took a girl on a date at a local place. They ordered and somewhere between the bread and the appetizer she started chatting with the guy at the other table. Turns out, it was her ex. She switched tables mid meal and she and her now current boyfriend left together. Ands stuck my brother with the check for her dinner. Yeah.
So my story/rant.
A month ago I went on an actual date with a guy. We met online, we talked on the phone, we met in a public place, safety, safety, yadda yadda yadda, so this was it. We went to some chain restaurant and then back to my place. hung out for a few hours...naked, and i was less than impressed, but figured we were both learning each other.
He never called. not the next day. Not three days later. Not a week later. Nada. I felt kinda put out and a little sad, and then i got over it and moved on with my life.
Yesterday i was hurting pretty badly, (back issues), so three thirty found me still in my 'jammies watching "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" on cable. Suddenly my dogs are going apeshit.
now to make a long story even longer i have to add that yesterday was the first day of school for our school districts which means that my dogs are gonna go apeshit at around three thirty every school day because they love to greet the kids coming off the bus but the darned fence keeps them from getting as close as they'd like.
so they're barking, and barking and i realize, someone's at my door... my BACK door which in no way looks like the entrance to my house.
There's a man standing there, smiling and i swear to christ i didn't recognize him, because really, it had been FOUR FUCKING WEEKS. My dogs, all three yappy little darlings are circling him and barking loudly and he reminds me who he is and asks if availible to spend some time together.
WTF?
So i basically scold him about the four weeks thing and he says that his phone was in his scooter which had been stolen.
I let him in the house, mostly to shut my dogs up and partially so i could sit down.
I ask him why he didn't email me and he said he didn't have a computer and didn't have my email.
I want to make something clear. I do EVERYTHING on the computer. I know how i met him.
he tells me we met through a phone chat line. i shake my head and tell him that we met through craigslist. and he just nods, "oh yeah, i guess i was using my..." i cut him off.
"so you just got bored had some free time and figured you'd come by a month later to see if you could get some?"
he nodded. Sheepishly, i'll give him that. but what the fuck?
so I told him to get out, and never to come back and that, is not the worst date i've ever had, just the weirdest one that happened this week.
I'd say men are stupid but then so are women so i'll just keep it gender neutral and say that the human race is crap at interacting with each other.
