Blast from the past

As I returned from NYC yesterday, I settled into my seat on the train listening to music and dozing in an out of sleep. I was drawing near my stop so I looked up toward the door to get my bearings. And then I had a moment.

There was a guy standing near the door whose face I definitely recognized. I could not place him! I kept thinking, "I know this guy. Where do I know him from?" And then it hit me like a ton of bricks. A few months ago I had gone out with a friend and this guy was a friend of my friend. Awkward part: I KISSED HIM at the bar. Oh. My. Hell. Is this really happening? Am I starting to really see people out in public whom I've kissed? What a mess.

I got a good chuckle out of that one.

Zero personality

So last night I geared myself up for another date. We met online on Plenty of Fish a few weeks ago and he seemed nice enough. His pictures were definitely cute and he seemed normal... and these days, that's kinda big.

He planned to take me out to a semi-expensive seafood restauant in my town. I secretly thought "I hope I don't have to pay for this!"... is that bad? Well anyway, he texted me saying that he was going to be late because of some issue with his parking garage. Whatever. We were supposed to meet at 6 and didn't meet up until 7. I was definitely more than annoyed, especially because I dragged my ass out of bed at 4pm to get ready for this because I was beyond hungover. I could have had another hour of solid sleep...

So when we finally arrived at said restaurant, I was immediately disappointed: he looked nothing like his pictures!! Why does this keep happening!? UGGGGHHHHH. The entire dinner was completely lackluster. He had little to no personality, and, come to find out, he's only in the area because he's doing a co-op because he's still in SCHOOL! And to top it all off, he had a hick, southern accent.

He said he had a great time and hoped that we could hang out again and even texted me last night to reiterate how good of a time he had. I did not share his sentiment.

And yes, he did pay.
