I have taken it upon myself to ask my fellow girlfriends if I could share their dating fiasco’s with all of you SmartFem readers. I hope you enjoy this particular story that I have titled…
“Too Much Time so Little Interest.”
My friend had this brilliant idea of setting me up with her boyfriend’s best friend. She had talked this guy up so much that I allowed her to give him my number. We had a few conversations via text and agreed to meet up a week later in Newport, California for dinner. My friend had previously told me that the guy (we will refer to him as Tyler for reading purposes) was an amazing, tall, blonde, blue eyed boy. Tyler seemed mature in our text messages so I was really excited to hang out with him.
On the night of our date I found myself waiting on the pier for him…he was late! When he finally walked up to me he was not what I was told. Yes, he was blond and blue eyed; but he was barely taller than my 5 foot 2 inch self and dressed a little too metro sexual for my taste. However, I thought “no biggie, this could still be fun.” But then, he opened his mouth to talk. It all went downhill from there.
He was the most self centered, egotistical person I have ever met. He kept talking about his “retail job” at Apple as if it he was the CEO of the entire company…Steve Jobs had nothing on him. A master on every subject we discussed…even if he truly knew nothing about it. I just wanted to tape his mouth shut!
We never spoke again.
So…what does this story teach us? Never trust our friends opinions, that’s for sure! Maybe never is too extreme but definitely tread with caution. I am sure there are many more life altering dates out there! Does anyone else have a disaster date story to share? I can’t wait to hear and discuss them all.
