I tried seeing her in a better light, but I couldn't. She reminded me of one of those chicks when I used to work at clubs, it's dark and they look alright, but the moment they get into a spotlight it's like :S

But all physical aspects aside, she was pretty weird. Like during the movie, any scene that spiked some interest she would giggle to herself, even scenes that weren't funny. I basically had to sit through almost 3 hours of constant sniffling/giggling.

Ah well, that would have been annoying. Good on you for at least putting up with it and not being an asshole and ditching though 🙂

Yea I'm not an ass to people. I went for a quick walk and a coffee with her afterwards. Walked her back to the subway. I try to enjoy people for who they are and make the best of things. I definetely wouldn't date her, but I would be a friend if she needed one, although it would only be a matter of time before I revealed my attitude towards vegetarians.

Bad on him for not having an escape plan on a blind date. ALWAYS have a buddy call a half hour in, just in case.

Yea lol. Craigslist. First time I've actually met a girl off the net.

It'll work better if you at least see a 3 year old picture of a girl before she got hefty.

Note, plenty of vegetarians don't have problems hanging-out as friends or more with meat eaters. Or did she tell you that she didn't date carnivores?

Vegetarians are not that bad unless they refuse to eat the sausage imo 😉

Chick I met second week of classes was a vegetarian. We got for dinner to discuss a class and I order a rare steak. She was classy and didn't say anything though, I later learned from her facebook she was a vegetarian. I try to eat vegie stuff now around her.


Though, on the other hand, another woman I met got up and left me at the table after my Meat lovers club Sandwich was delivered... yeah we don't talk anymore :laugh:

Yea that's cool, but I don't enjoy vegetarians, I have yet to meet one that looks normal and isen't mineral deprived in some way. And I'm a 270 + pound chair breaking tank, of course I muzzle meat like no tomorow.

As Forest Whitaker would say:

Best not to expect much from a blind date.

Now the important stuff, did you pick up your DX yet? Women come and go, a Harley is forever.

Not yet man, end of this month. It's been cold here and windy. 2 days ago it snowed in the morning. No worries I will update you when I do, I can't wait myself. I'm having dreams of riding around country roads already, and I decided what exhaust I want, Supertrapp Fat Shots in black.

Haha here we go with the ATOT assumptions and mighty fine detective work 😉

We met up for a coffee/walk first, but it was fuckin cold especially with the 75 km wind warning today, + downtown + skyscrapers = windrafts = GG. We decided to duck in and see a movie instead.

ignore him. Capt Caveman is a fucking nerd. He lives on ATOT and remembers every little detail of your life from posts because his own life is empty and gets some kind of creepy joy from trying to put you down. (All of which are unsuccessful because it's a damn ANONYMOUS MESSAGE BOARD OF A COMPUTER HARDWARE SITE)

And then there's Fritolays who's never been on a date and changes his username to skim milk though he's on a damn ANONYMOUS message board. :laugh:

I love how people think that they are so enlightened or hat one day they will be.

A movie is not threatening.

What do you expect, a walk on the beach and candle light dinner with a total stranger? To me, that would be weird.

were you scared? :Q
Click to expand...

Yea a little bit. I honestly felt like a camera crew was going to pop out any minute and start filming me about what it's like meeting people off the internet.
Click to expand...

Yep, or that she was some psychotic weirdo who would flip out on you. So feel fortunate that it wasn't that bad. 😛

Also, did she look different from her online pics?
Click to expand...


No pic exchange. It was a true blind date. I wanted to exchange pics but she said she would prefer to meet without exchanging. I'm pretty superficial but I said "let's try it" to myself, if there was no chemistry maybe at least I'd make a friend, she did seem pretty cool/interesting in her emails. It wasn't a terrible experience, I just really don't think I'm ever going to go on a date again without seeing how the person looks like first.

At this point I'm happy she doesn't have my license plate or my address.

"Attention tower, I'm disengaging the target and heading back to the barn"
 
I really don't understand why you could not have just gotten up and left after realizing that you had no interest in her.

Instead of half-assing it through the rest of the date, tell her you don't think it's going to work out, pay your share of the bill, and leave. Now you're going to not call her and hope that she gets the message. If she does call, then you'll have to BS some small talk again before dropping the bomb.

Of course, if you had a pair of balls, you wouldn't need to hear this now would you? 😛
