so this was my first of two blind dates last week.
such a good one, i might add.
this is how it began:
my way cute friend i used to work with texts me one day saying she was on facebook, saw a new profile picture of mine and was with one of her guy friends and said he wanted to take me out.
since she is a darling girl, i trusted her when she said he is way cute and an awesome guy!
he picks me up for our date, i was not ready whatsoever. my poor dad had to keep him company until i was. i walk down the stairs to find a very scrawny, short guy who looks about 12 and was wearing pointy shoes and a leather jacket. score!
he tells me we are going to see the movie remember me. a romantic movie. how perfect for a first date, let alone a BLIND date. this movie ends with a tragedy and of course i tear up, i can't control that! so i am brushing away tears as the lights come on... awkward.
by this time it was around 9ish, my stomach was growling cuz we didn't get dinner beforehand. he says lets go grab something. on our way to wherever we are going we pass this building that has all these red lights on/around the building, i mention how creepy it looks, he says "i bet that's the power ranger's headquarters". awesome. i laughed so hard. little did he know, i was laughing at him, not with him.
we pull up to cold stone, an ice cream parlor. ice cream! not dinner. because that's good on a hungry empty stomach. we're standing in line and he asks what i'm getting, i say that i get the same thing everytime. cake batter ice cream, nothing can top it. when i ask him what he's getting he says "ohhhh i'll just get whatever you get". um no. be a man and order your own thing!
i order mine, he makes the girl scooping his ice cream to decide what he should get. common now. really? he goes to pay for our ice cream and i swear the guy ringing us up was hitting on him. he was like so how has your day been, kept asking him questions, never to me too. and they had this weird look going on between them. i was like uhhhh should i leave and you two can finish our date? it was that uncomfortable.
while eating ice cream i find out more about this kid. he grew up in cali, is moving back for the summer. has to get a job out there and isn't excited since he hasn't worked in a long time. so appealing. tells me about past jobs. floral shop, day care....
feminine much? wayyyy too much for me. i need a man.
when i got home my dad said he called my mom immediately after i left for the date and said "who set her up?? he has pointy shoes and is very girly!!"
my dad was right. wish he could have warned me before i left.
but it makes for a good story right?
