A old friend from when i was in college and I had ran into each other on the street and hung out a few times to catch up. One of the times she decided to set me up on a date with a friend of a friend of friend. I should have known right there and then not to agree to the date, but decided to go for it anyways what did have to loose!
So the next day she calls me up says to meet my mystery date at Cactus Club on Broadway @7pm, that evening! I was like okay "what does he look like?" and my friend responds..."Oh he will be wearing a black shirt and pants with a red rose in hand". I thought to myself...I wonder how many men have done this on blind dates and if there will be like twenty men like that when i get there!
So I arrive at my blind date on time and no sign of my date. I wait ten minutes, then another ten minutes. I was about to leave when he shows up. No apology, nothing and instead of giving me the rose he sat in down on the table next to him. I was like okay whatever! We introduce ourselves and start talking....or should i say he starts talking...and a lot... now I know I am a big talker and i blab on forever a lot..and i have no problem admitting this...but this guy wouldn't shut up and i mean wouldn't shut up and not just about everything...just about himself and his ex and why they broke up and how heart broken he was...I have compassion for broken hearts...but this guy looked like he was going to jump of the Granville street bridge. Well at that point I think I was going to do that myself!
So finally he asked me a question about myself and asked what i do for a living. I told him I worked in the fashion industry and at that time I was Buyer and Manager of a store. He looked at me puzzled and said..."You what?" I repeated my self and his response was " Oh so how long do you plan to do that for, but really that is no way to make a living and we plan to be together, i cant have you be doing that job?" I looked at him in horror and said " Excuse me, if we plan to be together, this is the first date and who said we are going to be together and all you talked about tonight is yourself and not letting me talk and now you insult me?, sorry but i have to go...I think my phone is ringing, and it most likely more important than this date"
The next day my friend called me and went way off on my about my behavior...and i said " You should date him then!" I never heard from her again.
total scooby-douche....
