I feel like the date post came off as me being an uber-liberated bitch.
I would like to make very clear, that I do not think the guy is a bad buy. I think he was trying to be very old school gentlemanly and that’s fantastic. I think he’s a great guy….just not for me.
A lot of the funkiness stemmmed from me I think. From my rigid hold on the “this is gonna suck donkey balls” mentality.
In all fairness to me, however…I knew there was no spark after the phone call. Remember kids, we met when I was at a birthday party having tall beers. We met towards the END of the party. So the phone call…well I knew where it was going and should have been dropped off at the corner.
But whatever. It is what it is. Sometimes there is rhyme without reason. Sometimes there really isn’t any of it. I told this guy client the other day, “your rewards are directly related to the porportion of your risk”
I sound smart sometimes. and sometimes I sound like a bitch. just wanted to clarify I meant no harm towards the fella. It just didn’t fit.
Misti Ridiculous 
Oh, now I do not think you need to go apologizing. You were pretty fair to the dude and you pointed out that you gave him more of a fair shake than his family did, they all thought you were doing this as a charity gig. And, for the record, the way he ordered for you wasn’t chivalrous, it was presumptuous and icky. I don’t think he meant it that way but it was.

No need for the mea culpa, in my humble opinion. I echo Kizz.

“She’ll probably drink anything!”is funny….whether you were being mean, sincere, sarcastic, matter-of-fact,complimentary, blase….there is no way to tell that story and have it not be funny.

A bitch because you expressed he is NOT your lobster…. not no way, not no how. Life is hysterical. I would not trade that phone call of hysterical laughter for anything…not any single thing. You could have just said he was a dumb ass in all bitterness and walked away. But you didn’t… you recounted the story with humor and style. The fact that you still have feelings in that area after everything… you are a better woman than I. I would not even have blessed… I just would have let go. Especially when he ordered my food…I don’t mess around with that. Grace under fire baby!

I am so proud of you!! That’s the way you were taught…to be kind…as you once said you can be bitch to bitch with anyone but to be rude??? you know who I am talking about (years ago). I am glad you took pride in yourself and your decision and then backed off honorably. You are beautiful inside and out and will find the right one someday…my good life began at 41 remember…I didn’t much like the comment she will drink anything…I would have had to say” I don’t have a breatherlizer in my car…you handled everything wonderfully and I know God has someone out there for him alsol…Again I am proud of how you replied that this is not a pity date…Sounds like he has already been around the pity block with his family…

People cross paths for specific reasons…Everyone, and I mean everyone has something to offer in our lives…you passed the test with flying colors in being kind…you can say no and still make someone feel special…I am so proud of you…ordering for you??? He has been watching movies a lot and probably taken coaching from his family so thought that was the gentlemanly thing to do…at least you had that experience and handled it wonderfully…I can’t believe you ate the slimey oysters…and you have a problem with slimy bananas???
