So I had a date last night that is probably my karma for this date. He was a nice guy, tall, attractive and fun to talk to. He also had good manners.But he wasn’t at all into me! Things started out fine, good conversation. We got on the subject of dating and then…drumroll…he brought up his ex.
And then we talked about her for almost the rest of the evening. I felt like he was confiding his feelings and I was consoling him.
For a woman that he did not date for very long, he detailed to me each and every time he has seen her in the last 6 months. How she reacted, how he reacted, how his friends reacted and every so often going back to how she dumped him and he didn’t know why.
By the way, THAT’S how you know they are into you. They ruminate about you, even aloud to others.
Poor guy. There is a part of me that feels like he wasted my evening, but it really was a waste for both of us and he paid. So really it was more of a waste for him. He is really hung up on a woman who sounds like she really is not interested. Has moved on, is dating someone else. She actually dumped him twice. Poor guy.
What is crazy, is I don’t think he knows how hung up on her he is. He suggested we go out again. I said that sounded like fun…but only because standing in the rain, in a dark parking lot with a blind date is not a good time to tell someone you don’t want to see them again.
I don’t ever want to be that woman on the news they find in the trunk of her car, 500 miles from home and dead.
In the end, it wasn’t a very bad date. It was not a good date, but there is worse I’m sure.
