Dating

I always get asked, “why don’t you date?”  Well, let me recap for you my last date and maybe you will understand why I think the process is a complete waste of time.  I did the scary thing, joined an online dating service…..sigh……yes can we say desperate? I started chatting with someone and we chatted and exchanged photos for a couple months before deciding to meet for drinks and dinner.  We met at a restaurant and were in the bar having a couple drinks before our reservation was ready.  We were chatting, when he looks over at a girl who came in and he leans over and says to me, “Oh my God, isn’t she hot??” “She is so hot!!”   Yes, she’s hot, fine, she’s hot, whatever you say. Great, here we go.

“Holy shit!, look at that one! She has got to be a model. I’ve never seen tits so big!”  “Look at the size of HER TITS!”

Great, thanks, fine, big tits, yeah, got it…….  It goes on like this for about 10 minutes, when he turns to another girl at the bar and starts hitting on her.  The girl looks at him, then looks at me, I shrug my shoulders, she slaps him……  he calls her a bitch.  “What a bitch! Don’t you think she’s a bitch? What’d she hit me for??”   I don’t know, maybe because you are hitting on her while you are sitting here with me.  

By this time I was pretty much done.  This was no longer a date…….this was a night out with one of the boys.  Now the only problem was how to get away, for good.  I got lucky, the guy leaned back to finish off yet another drink and he tipped over backwards in his chair and passed out.  My God, just like in the movies. Sometimes wishes do come true.  I just looked at him, so did the other patrons.  One couple said they felt sorry for me, I said, “don’t, this was a first and LAST date”.   I asked the bartendar for the bill, I stuck it on his chest and walked out the door. 

I don’t date.  I CHOOSE not to.  It’s too humiliating………
