I wasted the pretty…on a douchebag.

So, that match.com guy called last night and asked if I wanted to get some coffee or something…so I said sure. I was excited, but not overly hopeful as I have never really had that great of an experience yet from match.com first dates.

So, we pick a place and a time, and I go. I show up right on time, and see the guy walking up too. So, I’m not overly impressed at first glance, but I decided that looks aren’t everything and just because he doesn’t LOOK like someone I would like, doesn’t mean he’s not. So I proceed.

At the very least, I am thinking I need to be polite and see where it goes. So we are about to go into the coffee place, and he’s like, so do you want coffee? And i say, yeah, do you? And he says, well I don’t really drink coffee… So, I am like, ok, well, if you don’t want coffee, we can just not get coffee…all the while thinking to myself, this guy invited me to get coffee and if he doesn’t even drink coffee….um?????

So, instead of getting coffee we decide to take a walk around the shopping center we were at. So we’re walking. He’s a little behind me, and he says, “sorry I’m a little slow, I have an ankle injury.” And I say, oh, well, we didn’t have to walk then! And I joke about how it was silly for him to suggest talking a walk if he is hurt…and we both laugh and that was that. We were both just kind of being goofy.

So then we walk through like 2 stores, just talking and wandering around. When we come out of the second one, he says, “hey, let’s walk this way,” pointing back towards where we came from. At this point, I think things are going well (despite the fact that I am even further convinced I am not romantically interested at all, he was still really funny and seemed nice) because we were both laughing a lot and having fun.

So we are once again walking and talking and we get back to the coffee place where we started. I say, “so what do you want to do now?” I assumed he might want to go sit in the coffee place and talk more, and I wanted to be polite even though I wasn’t interested, so I wanted to make the offer for sure. And he says quickly, “I’m actually gonna go. I’ll be in touch.” And he totally bounced! No walking me to the car, no nothing!

Despite the fact that I wasn’t all that disappointed he left because I didn’t like the guy, how freaking rude! What the hell?!?!?

I totally wasted the pretty on a complete douche! We were both laughing and having fun…and then he just freaking left. Ugh. There is nothing wrong with me…I am smart, compassionate, and pretty. I am not like uber-skinny or anything, but I have lost like 30 pounds in the last few months and am looking pretty good. I am easy to talk to and can always carry a conversation. So, what the hell is going on? Why is not one interested?
