Date Night Blues

So a couple nights ago, my friend Kellee and I went on this double date. I went with this guy I met (it was our third date and things were looking pretty good) and Kellee went with my friend Adam. We were super excited and looking forward to it when all of a sudden, the date took a turn for the worst.

Like, I’m not even kidding, it was the date from hell, and it was all my dates fault. He was just so incredibly awkward the entire night. He would ask personal and weird questions, wouldn’t shut up, suggested a pretty terrible restaurant (of course we took his advice…), and I’m pretty sure he was hitting on my roommate (Kellee) the entire night.Poor Kellee and Adam… I could see the looks of despair on their face as they sat there with me, super uncomfortable. I couldn’t even look my date in the eye I was so embarrassed. It was weird too since I had been on dates before with him and he was nothing like this!

Anyway, after the date, Kellee and I walked our dates to their cars. At this time, my date proceeded to tell me that he can be pretty rude and obnoxious sometimes, but he really doesn’t care what people think. He used this topic as a lead into why he didn’t want to see me anymore (I know right?), but this time, I was begging for any excuse to not see him.

So, he told me that he hoped he wasn’t breaking my heart (please…) and that he wasn’t ‘ready’ for where this was going, and the whole time I was holding back laughter, just nodding my head. Finally, when the horror was over, he asked if it was alright if he could just ‘fly’. I blinked a couple times and was like ‘Pardon?’ and then he explained that he meant ‘fly’ as in ‘fly out of my life and never talk to me again’. I couldn’t take it. I grabbed his arm and said, ‘Honey… you’re not breaking anyone’s heart, and frankly, I could care less.’ He stared at me before saying ‘Oh good. This is better than me having to ignore your phone calls.’ I just smiled, hugged him goodbye, and skipped back to my apartment.

Haha, good riddance.
