The worst date ever-

I hate to post this here- especially if I don't know if the person I am writing about will ever read it- doubtful, this blog isn't posted anywhere where they would have the opportunity to see it- I don't think.

Last night I went out on my First E-Harmony.com date, and unfortunately it was a joke.

1. Please do not misrepresent yourself with pictures that you have posted- I like to at least have an inkling of what you look like- I do not want to wonder if I am picking up the right person when you come to the door.

2. Please, under no circumstance- baby talk- I am 28- babytalk is out.

3. Offer to pay for your part of dinner- it's a nice suggestion, it shows that you are not a user and that you understand that dating is expensive- for the male. I never expect the woman to pay, I wouldn't hear of it- but I like for the woman to make the offer.

4. Don't lie to me and say you know how to dance, and that you LOVE to dance, when in reality you are a no-dancing coward who runs off the dance floor in embarrassment because heaven forbid, "Everyone is looking at you". I mean really, when I dance that is the point- I want everyone to look at me because I am really, really good.

5. Try to be interesting. I love to talk about me, but even I get tired of being the only one having something to say.

6. Fidget less. If you thought that shirt was going to be akward- Why did you wear it? I feel like Edward from Pretty Woman telling Julia Roberts- "Stop Fidgeting".

7. Be responsible, bring your ID when you know that you are going to be going to a club- this is the 2000's- you should have your driver's license with you at all times.

8. When I am walking, walk beside me, or in front of me. Do not drop 3 paces behind me when I am purposely slowing down so you can catch up.


Well, I will stop there because I don't want to sound nit-picky. After the date was over I was actually a little angry, I don't think that has ever been an emotion I have felt at the end of a date- sometimes I have felt embarrassed, lightheaded, woozy, tired, frightened, but never angry. I was angry because I wasted my time and because I was lied to- I don't mind things being the way they are- if you are up front about it.

Well, I will stop venting. I love you all-
