Ok, so date #3 with "Larren" was last night...I think the third date is the one where you really get to the nitty gritty of if you are going to like each other or not. We met and it seemed so familiar, so nice...I haven't felt that way in so long...you know, where someone is waiting for you at the bar, and then you get a table...he even ordered a beer for me before I got there. We started talking and I was getting pretty comfortable. I was really letting him get to know me. What I like, what I don't like...he started talking and said/did some things that really bugged me:
1. He told me about the days when he waited tables and since I am in the industry I guess he thought that I cared about all the times he got stiffed by a table...He even said "I'm not racist, but..." REALLY??!! If you have to qualify a statement like that...ugh...
2. He always chooses smoking bars...he said to me that this was something he was struggling with, but he smokes every time we go out...struggling?? hmmm...
3. He was "secretly" texting under the table..C'mon!!! I can see you!! Its lit up, and your eyes are facing down...
At one point I lost it and announced that I thought he was very rude and if he wasn't interested in what I was saying then lets get the tab. He apologized and seemed stunned that I even said anything...
4. We went dutch. Is that normal on the third date? I haven't been in the dating world for a while but that seems kinda lame....
I know this list may seem shallow, but I think it's pretty honest. Aren't these things that "daters"think? Isn't this how you figure out if you like someone? Am I ever going to really like someone?
