Dating adventures – How bad a date can be?
Have you ever been on a date and wondered what did you do wrong in the world to have such bad luck?
Lately, I feel like the best choice is to stop dating and get some pets and live happily ever after.
My dating adventures is a roller coaster and it’s becoming exhausting but Hey, this is the game, right?
Last few dates, went terrible wrong and let me tell you why.
First it was a pool date, which to be honest was a weird choice for a location but I went with it because I wanted to swim anyway. We stayed in the jacuzzi and we talked but this guy was something. He had an opinion about everything, including my hair and how much work it is to wash and dry my hair. Even told me to watch out for the water not to get my already wet hair, wet. Makes sense, right?
After trying to have a decent conversation for 1h, 1.5h, I gave up when he told me that he uses dating apps just for fun because he can get a girl anywhere he wants. Excuse me, but WTF am I doing here if you feel like that? Anyway, I said that I have to leave because my hair is too much work and well, it is late already. I still do not think he caught the irony.
He had the nerve to message me later that day to ask if we can drink some wine together :)) Sir, no, we cannot and you can find a random girl on the street to do that, right? You said it yourself you have that power.
Thanks for playing, next!
Next date was something. Not really sure how to describe it but let me give it a try. First, I forgot to ask about his height and I was socked to see that we were not even at the same height and I am short. Before you say anything, I like my man to be taller than me because hight heels and I love the feeling of being hugged by someone taller than me, gives me a safe feeling.
I said ok, lets give it a go, who know maybe I will be surprised by his personality. Oh, the joke is on me. No conversation skills, no initiative what so ever. He wanted to eat something but had no idea where to go so we ended up looking for a place on the spot on a Saturday night. Usually, I do not mind being spontaneous but it was the first date. Shouldn’t you be able to plan something? Like anything really.
If there are any men reading this… Guys, if you want to take a woman out to dinner, please make sure to ask ahead if she has any allergies or dietary restrictions. It is just easier for everybody than putting her under the spotlight in the middle of the street when she has to tell you things like I am vegetarian or I cannot eat this or that because…
Back to my date, we ended up spending 1h or so. Dry conversation and I just let it be. Did my part with asking a few questions but I am not going to be the only one dragging the conversation for the entire date. It is your time to shine as well, gentleman.
At the end of the date, I got the I had a lovely time message and I would like to do it again. Not going to happen but thanks for playing.
At last but not least, the last adventure was a recent one. We were supposed to go for a drink (coffee was mentioned) and it was in the evening. I am usually driving because I live outside the big city and I was in the city centre for my dancing lessons so I do not consume alcohol. We agreed to meet to a place close to my dancing club, relaxed one, nice vibes.
I get there and my guy was already drinking beer. I said ok, it’s evening and we said let’s meet for a drink so who am I to judge your choice, right? Feel free to be you.
Well, he was himself but here is the catch. At the end of the date, he was drunk. Not able to walk a straight line type of drunk. Fun, right?
Not to mention that he messaged to say hope you had a lovely time, ’cause you looked like you had. Mister, I had a terrible time. I was just polite but half of the time I had trouble understanding you and the interaction was more than mediocre.
Dating in your 30s can be fun if you have the right mindset and do not take everything too serious but it can also be exhausting.
