I had high hopes when “Dan,” an attractive and smart schoolteacher, and graduate of a highly-rated liberal arts college, invited me on a date. When the bill arrived after dinner, I reached for my purse, fully expecting him to say, “Please, I invited you. Let me pay.” When he didn’t, I set down a twenty. He followed suit and set down a twenty as well. We waited several minutes for the waitress to pick up our check. Finally, concerned we might miss our movie, “Dan” suggested we leave exact change so we wouldn’t have to wait any longer. He took away his twenty and replaced it with a five. He inspected the bill again and realized that on a $22 tab, $25 would not be enough with a tip. He then asked ME if I had a few singles. Caught off guard, I obliged and set down three dollars. “Oh, good. Now we can go,” he declared. “Oh, good,” I thought to myself, “I’ve just paid $23 on a $27 bill for a date I was invited on!” Oblivious, “Dan” didn’t make it up to me by paying for my movie ticket.

One Saturday afternoon this guy I was dating and I decided to go shopping at the local mall. While the day was going pretty smooth we discussed how we were beginning to get quite hungry, yet he seemed to be avoiding getting lunch. He reassured me that he was going to take me to a “nice” lunch. Of course I am thinking maybe Joe’s or something nice like the Cheesecake Factory, nothing fancy but a nice lunch. Needless to say neither of the two was on the menu. Where did this cheap ass take me you ask? The guy took me to the food court at the mall. Yes, you read it right, the food court! To top it all off this Rolex wearing, 25 year old home owner, Mercedes driving fool stops at Wendy’s and tells me to order from the 99 cents menu because he only has five dollars on him. HELLO ATM!! What kind of grown man goes out with only five dollars on him anyway?? Especially knowing he was spending the day with a hot chic like me? What is wrong with this guy? Who raised him? Animal! Didn’t anyone ever teach him how to treat a woman? Take a walk cheap-O. Some nerve. I say -NEXT!!!

This gorgeous guy emailed me online. As usual it was a message that said, “I like your profile, great pics, I’d like to get to know you better, write me back if you’re interested”. But his pictures were so HOT that I didn’t even care to read his profile and I wrote back right away. Why play games with a cutie like that? Lol We exchanged several emails before he asked me out for lunch. I was so excited to meet him that I never really asked any questions. The fact that he looked like a model was enough for me. I suggested a local chain restaurant (Friday’s) near my office since I didn’t have a lot of time that day and he had no problem with driving it over by me.  I woke up a little earlier that day to give myself a little more time to get ready.  I arrived at the restaurant right on time and didn’t see him and took a seat at the bar.  I waited a few minutes and saw there was a single guy sitting close by but he didn’t look familiar so I kept waiting around. Besides this guys was not good looking at all so I knew that couldn’t be him. Another minute went by and I noticed that guy walk towards me, I got so nervous for a second because I didn’t want my date to walk in and see me talking to some other guy. I tried to turn away to let this guy know that I wasn’t interested in being approached.  Next thing I know, this voice behind me calls out my name. I turn around and sure enough it’s the unattractive guy.  I was so shocked I didn’t know what to say. He looked NOTHING like the pictures online, not even close to being a relative of the hottie. For a second I thought those pictures were real model shots and not this guy at all. At that point what can I do run? Umm yea the thought did cross my mind but I couldn’t do that. Either way how bad can this be.  

The conversation during lunch was ok; I learned that those were his real pictures from 5 years ago. I accidentally thought out loud and said, “You don’t look like that anymore”. Seriously lets be honest here, did he actually think the girls he goes out with will still be interested in him???? I think NOT. To top it all off, when the bill came, he took it from the waiter looked at it and said, “I am not at liberty to take care of this check, can we split it?” WHAT? Not at liberty?  Who says that?  

Why lie about the way you look right now? What did he get out of that? The idea of dating is to potentially meet that one and only that we’re all looking for right? Guys complain that the girls post old pictures of when they were thin. Then why do men post pictures of when they were a lot younger?

I went out to dinner with this guy I had met. When he came to pick me up, he was wearing a nice suit with a tie. He surprised me with a bouquet of white tulips and a CD that he wanted me to listen to. He was in a band on the side. I thought that was really sweet because how often does a guy bring a girl flowers these days? I thought he was very attractive. Once we were seated at a table at the restaurant, the waitress came over to take our drink order and my date said he didn’t drink. I thought for a second that was strange because he’s a young guy. Why doesn’t he drink? When I asked him about that, he ignored my question and just decided to order a beer and I had a glass of wine. During dinner, the waitress noticed it was time for a refill and I ordered another glass of wine and my date chose not to get another beer because he was driving. I thought that was nice of him to think of me and bring me home safe. When the waitress came back with my drink, my date immediately took a big sip of my glass of wine. I didn’t think anything of it until he continued to drink my wine as if it was water, so I ended up ordering another glass. He continued to gulp on my wine. I just thought he was enjoying himself and wanted to drink, but not too much since he was driving.

The date went really well and when he was dropping me off he seemed a little tipsy. So I thought I would invite him in; that way he could have some water and sober up a little. He refused, and said the only way he’d come up is if I had more wine. That should have raised a red flag, but I thought I’d be able to convince him to just have water. And that’s where I was wrong. He asked me to play the CD he brought and make him a drink. He barely even touched his drink and when the music started to play, he immediately began to sing and dance in my living room. During the 2^nd song, the jacket, tie and the shirt came off. I have an elliptical trainer in my living room and he was holding on to the handle like the “Rock Star” he thinks he is. It turned out he was holding on for dear life.   Needless to say, the next time someone drinks my wine like its water, I should run the other way.

While dining out at a seafood restaurant at the Jersey Shore, my friend and I found ourselves being harassed by the shortest man alive. Since my friend and I are not the mean type we continued to be nice to him, yet keeping the conversation to a minimum, hoping he would soon get the hint and be on his way. Unfortunately, that was not the case. He did not get the hint at all and persisted to try even harder to keep the conversation flowing. He carried on about his job and bragging about his Porsche that was parked in the lot. He then proceeded to sit down at our table. At this point I didn’t know what to do. What the hell is this guy doing? GET THE HINT SHORTY! GET LOST!! WHO INVITED YOU???? As if this was not bad enough that he invited himself to take a seat at our table, our food came and he did not leave. We ordered the grilled shrimp ceaser salad. Starved and wanting to dive into the darn thing we didn’t BC this lil gremlin would not leave our table, welcoming himself uninvited. As we were trying to get the grilled shrimp off of the skewer he proceeded to grab mine and take the shrimp off. I was appalled!! We let it be known that we would appreciate if he would leave and let us enjoy our dinner without him touching our food and groveling over us! He left on a positive note, yet was determined to chase us down when we were leaving making sure we saw his car. Was this guy serious? I don’t care what you’re driving! He probably needs to sit on a phone book just to see over the steering wheel! Why do men not get the hint when women show no interest? Give up and move on SHRIMP!!
