Have this dude (can’t even bring myself to call him a man at this point) that (supposedly) REALLY wants to go out with me. We have a lot of the same interests and he is both intelligent and well-read. But it’s just not going to happen.
The first time we got together, he contacted me an hour before our date to let me know our restaurant was busy and so he wanted to move it to a different location where there wouldn’t be a wait (really? You don’t think we could have had a drink and chatted while we waited at the restaurant I suggested? Why bother asking me where I want to go?)
The second time, he contacted me a couple nights before our date to let me know he had some dietary restrictions due to a medical problem and we’d have to change plans. (You can’t just order food accordingly?)
Today he contacted me about our plans Saturday because he had to have a tooth pulled yesterday and he doesn’t know what he will be able to eat by the weekend.
I’m just finding this all to be irritating as hell. You’re telling me there isn’t a single thing on the menu you could manage to suffer through? It’s not like we were going to a steak house or rib joint (and even if we were you couldn’t figure out soup, potato and ice cream or something?) And every single time the plans were to be changed from my choice to some place he wanted.
I replied that we could just grab a beverage at a coffee shop. His response? Do they have something besides coffee or tea? I don’t like those…
I suggested he call them to find out. I’ve never been to this one before and have no interest in taking him to one where I’m a regular. I’m done.
I will follow through with my commitment Saturday but after coffee I’ll be treating myself to an early dinner at the place we originally had plans.
This dude is way to much work and I have little respect for people who whine and don’t honor what they say they will do.
Doesn’t help that he kept trying to talk me into bigger plans when he couldn’t even manage to go to dinner as scheduled. smh
