so, because i am new to seattle and because my last relationship was over two years ago, i figured it was time to get back on the hobby horse. lord knows, i have not had my fair share of that ride.
still, i have standards, and today, this poor boy that i met off plenty of fish, was far below them. i say boy, because despite the twenty nine years he's had on this earth to prove himself otherwise, he failed miserably. it took him 45 minutes to ask me a question. on anything. granted, i asked him a lot of questions because i could not bear the unbearably awkward silence. but that awkward silence could have been filled with him at least attempting to seem interested in getting to know me. to top it off, he repeatedly poked me in the shoulder and tugged on my pony tail in an attempt to flirt with me. like a twelve year old boy. we went into a record store where he selected albums that i should listen to. among them, korn and temple of the dog. and though that song hunger strike is catchy, it was old and annoying even when it came out in the nineties. and though the date only lasted an hour and a half, it was quite possibly one of the most painful hour and a halfs i've experienced in my lifetime. particularly when he asked me repeatedly if we were having fun, and suggested we should hang out again. no concept of social cues whatsoever!
so i did what any girl in a new city with no friends to bail her out would do: i made up an excuse that my friend was arriving from out of town and that i needed to meet her at the airport. and sure enough, i found myself boarding the 194 needlessly out to the sea-tac airport, leaving a misguided boy waving bye at the bus terminal. on the upside, i got a free tour of seattle metro style.
oh well. i've deleted my profile - i don't think internet dating is for me. i don't understand why it's so hard to just meet normal guys, but apparently it is. so i'm putting it out there in the universe now - i'm ready to meet a nice, normal, well-adjusted guy the good old fashioned organic way. or i'll just stalk the guard at the library for a while. that'll work too.
no time for a found item, but until the next time, i bid you adieu and happy love travels.
