I was reminded yesterday about a date I went on a few years ago. While working at the school, a guy came to inspect our fire extinguishers. I didn’t really pay much attention to him but apparently he noticed me because he asked multiple co-workers of mine if I was single and other questions about me. He even called the school a few times trying to get a hold of me. I finally talked to him and he asked me if I would like to go on a date. I agreed so we went out a few nights later.
He came to pick me up and was wearing some JNCO jeans with the huge back pockets and a black t-shirt with dragons on it. Wow! He took me to TGIFridays, a restaurant I actually really like. Before we even got to the restaurant, he had managed to tell me that he was 34 years old (I was 23), still lived at home, didn’t have a car so had to borrow his moms, never went to school and didn’t go to church. Someone should teach this boy how to sell himself better. Dinner was ridiculously awkward. Whenever I go to a restaurant, I always like to people watch. I think it is hilarious to watch people on dates to see how they interact with each other. People watching us would have been laughing so hard because it was obvious I was not enjoying myself. After dinner he asked me if I wanted to go play mini-golf but honestly, I could not even handle any more conversation with him so I suggested we go to a movie instead (that way we wouldn’t have to talk to each other). As soon as we got to the movie theater and sat down he excused himself and went outside for TWENTY MINUTES! When he came back in he smelled so bad like cigarette smoke. He really had to leave in the middle of our date for a smoke break?!
After the movie, luckily, he took me back home and I never went out with him again! (Even though he did try calling me many times after that ha ha ha)
