OK this is me trying to find some interesting topic to blog about and I got to thinking of different things. One of them was a series of blind dates and first dates from quite a few years back now and it got to be the 'around the cooler' talk Monday Mornings at the place I worked at the time cause coworkers said it got them off to a laughing good start to their weeks. SAD that my misery was That entertaining but I have to admit looking back that some Were aweful funny in a sad way. So here is the one that was so bad that there were actually a weeks worth of co workers bringing around OTHER people in the office I barely knew to tell them ..lol

An old roomie of mine wanted to fix me up with this guy and I kept saying I really did not like blind dates and that the never worked and all. Well she wore me down by saying would be a safe double date with her and her fiance'. SO I agreed and that Fri night rolled around and they came to pick me up ( HINT HINT ALWAYS DRIVE YOURSELF)..anywhoooo. I got put in the back seat with my 'date'. My roomie kept tossing out topics to try and break the ice. And that feeling of dread started to build before we ever got to the place for dinner.

She threw out that I used to work at Sea World. He got all smiley and said HEY Me TOO. What did ya do there. I told him I worked in the Ed dept and gave the tours and lectures for school groups. He informed me he worked sweeping the park. ( honest job mind you but it just kept snowballing down hill from here). He said it was is Second job. So I had to ask what the other one was. He said he also worked in a movie theater. I said Well I did too when I was 17, I had worked in the box office and was a 3rd key assist manager. He said how cool that was cause his boss has Just let him have the keys to close up just the week before...So I asked if he was in management and he said NO he was cleaning the theater late and the boss tossed him the keys and told him to lock up when he was done. ( OK OK Can call me a snob if ya want BUT he was 35 to my 26 and I at the time worked doing accounting work so was not overly impressed that he had 2 part time min wage jobs)

My roomie tossed out how we had met threw our 3rd roomie and that now I had lived alone. He said Oh well I have 2 roomates right now. And we are having a pool put in and so on and so on. So I asked if he liked having roomies and the lack of privacy... OK WAIT FOR IT>... he replied Oh No MOM AND DAD gave me the basement so I have sorta my own apartment. ( ok so he has 2 part time min wage jobs AND he lives in his parents Basement)

OK so now we get to the place to have dinner (already wishing I could go home). We sit to eat and the waiter comes over to take orders and the guy whips out a coupon for a buy one get one free. The waiter takes it and so the guy then looks at me and says he is BUYING my dinner. I guess I gave him a dirty look cause my friend Kicked my under the table about then. My 'date' and my friends fiance were friends so they started talking of all sorts of things....and out came how this guy found it fun to toss alkaselzer tabs in to the lake to make ducks sick and so on.... At that my friend then kicked HIM under the table knowing what an animal lover I am. ...well dinner went on like that and basically ate with as little talking as possible....hoping we would go HOME after this. BUT NO my friend and her guy want to go dancing... which she knew I did not do.

SO now am at a crowded, loud and smoky club (was before any were non smoking). It it really not my type of place or thing at all and I am really not at all liking this guy. So my friend leaves me sitting at a table with him to go dance with her fiance'. We he Tries more small talk. Asked about school so I told him I had been in college for Psychology and he said some comment about it being a silly profession. So was liking him less and less. He then tells me I look too tense and proceeds to try and massage my shoulders. I just sat up straigher and as 'nice' as was possible told him to Not Touch Me.

He then starts to show me this necklace he is wearing. It has a charm on a cord. The charm looks like an old coin with a fat Plus sign on it. Told me he had been in the mall and was looking at necklaces and the girl clerk asked to help him so she then asked him if he had any luck with ladies at which he replied No (surpise there). She picks up this necklace and told him it would attract love and so he bought it. I guess he thought that by showing me, I would be over powered by the charms intended purpose. Giggle.(sorry that was mean)

Then THANK GOD we were on own way home. He kept trying to scoot closer and well I was practically hanging out the window by the time we pulled up at my apartment. He then wanted to walk me to the door. I quickly said no that would make my dogs bark and was too late to wake the neighbors. He wanted my # I told him he could ask my friend. She then walked me to the door...giggle and I threatened never speaking again if she did give out the #.

SOOOO that following Mon all the coworkers got their giggles and even went as far as to deem the PLUS SIGN as the sign of a loser an say I should make a campaign to pass them out to other men like him so that they would All be marked. GIGGLE.

WOULDNT YA KNOW ....when my friends wedding rolled around I was in it and WHO do you think I was paired up with for the Groomsman... YUP you guessed it ... wanna know WHY? Cause the sister has threatened bodily harm is she was paired with him so that left me. Her and I were fast friends over a bottle of wine and laughing over things he had done so the evening there was not at all a total loss...giggle.

OK your turn.... Do you have a story??? Oh and remember try and keep it clean I do get teens in the blog cause of the dresses for prom and stuff I list here.
