Friday I'd planned to go out with this guy from okcupid - a different guy. We'd actually first "met" like around Christmas and had never managed to get around to meeting. He goes to my school, so he is local. He seemed nice enough, but he was chubby and kind of short, which doesn't pass my aesthetics test. So for the past however many months every now and again, he'd message, mostly asking if I wanted to meet up at the library....
... I guess he spends a lot of time at the library, lol. I never got around to it.
For some reason when he messaged me about a week ago I didn't mind going, so we planned for drinks. I vetoed my first outfit and ended up dressing down in a sweater and jeans - fabulous, my favorite jeans and a cute sweater but dressed down nonetheless. I decided to walk, and I got hit on by like three guys on the way, so black guys were feeling it at least. We were meeting at the bar where I'd met Farrell, so in the back of my mind I wondered if he'd be there, or if not, maybe some of my school friends would be there in case things weren't going well.
As usual I was running behind like 20 minutes after I said I'd be there, and the second I walked in the door, the lights in the place went out
There was a big chubby dude sitting staring directly at the door and he looked at me a couple times, and I meandered around awkwardly, wondering if this was the guy? I texted him about the lights going off... He eventually came over to me and so I thought he was the guy, Chris... we laughed about how I "caused" the lights to go out, but I'm looking like, this guy doesn't look like the pictures at all... I know he was kinda chubby but this is a BIIIIIG dude... and he's blonde... so I eventually checked my phone and he'd texted back saying "you caused the rapture! come outside!" um I think the bigger guy was the bouncer....
So we walked to the other watering hole instead, talking affably. Once we arrived, I usually prefer to sit at the bar, but he preferred the side room with tables. We talked, and the conversation was good... I really enjoy smart guys and he is a chemistry major so he's not an idiot. We were getting on swimmingly; better, in fact, than I thought we would since I had been pretty uninterested, and was mostly just going out with him because I had nothing better to do, not because I really wanted to. But talking to him, I was really having a good time and maybe even liking him a little. At one point he started to say something and then trailed off and laughed awkwardly. Then he goes, "I'm sorry, I'm really nervous." I laughed like, "what? We've been here for like an hour." And he says "well I don't usually spend a lot of time with beautiful women like this," and then it was my turn to laugh awkwardly. But we split an order of fries so life was well again lol.
At some point we both ran out of cash and, not wanting to hit the ATM, decided to go to yet another pub... omg so much walking... lol... On the way, he expressed the fact that he wanted to kiss me, but didn't know how. "Well, you ruined it now!" I told him, and wouldn't allow him to kiss me in such a rehearsed manner. By the time we got to the other pub (which took cards), we'd missed last call, so, back to the second pub we went. By now we were holding hands. We ran into some belligerent drunk girl (named Andie, apparently) who was fighting with three frat guys and we dragged her off before they raped her or something
which was random and hilarious.
So, now the night is winding down. I just want one more drink before I go home (and starve to death). He hits the ATM, and I sit at a table by myself. To my utter chagrin, this ****ing cute dude sitting at the bar in front of me shoots me a look. Ok, eye contact happens, whatever. But a couple moments later, he deliberately catches my eye and holds it, then smiles. I smile back, bemused, and hurriedly look away. Now I've been to that bar alone like three times trying to pick up a guy and no one ever looked twice at me. Now I'm getting scoped while I can't act on it... lol... BOO! Chris eventually came back with the drinks, and after that the guy and his friends left... ah well...
and say hi to my ignore list while you're at it.
i am soo sorry!
