A Failure
Tuesday, March 27, 2007
In my self-righteous, post-dumped phase, I feel entitled to free meals and attention from men whom I plan to dump. I also agreed to go on a blind date.

In my opinion, a blind date should be either wonderful or disastrous. I had personally hoped for disastrous, since I had already decided not to like the guy. For this purpose, I was hoping for a purple mohawk, lots of facial piercings, and an addictive drug habit. For example, Turret’s syndrome would have been fantastic.

Unfortunately, the guy turned out to be extremely likeable, polite, and normal looking. He even has an apartment and a job. Normal people like this make me very uncomfortable.

"So what do you do for a living?"
"How do you like San Francisco?"

Pointless banter made me yearn for the rude, crude gossip that I make with friends like Shannon, who most recently started complaining about her boyfriend's bad habits in bed. In detail. And in comparison to other guys' habits in bed. ("Robin was so much hotter, do you want to sleep with him? I think you should give it a try so we can compare notes.")

Who cares how I feel about San Francisco.

To future date prospects:
- I fart
- I speak too loud in restaurants
- I say cuss words near children

Being around well-mannered people makes me very uncomfortable.
Plus, overly nice guys are not as satisfying to break up with.
 
Comments:
So if you dated yourself as a man you'd love to break-up with yourself?
 
Hmm, it took me a moment to get this comment, but after thinking about it (and getting that fact that it's a total diss) I've begun to really like it. Nice work, Supreme. Touche.
 
So, seriously, what did this nice blind date of yours do to piss you off? I mean, in reading this post, you completely unload on this guy for apparently no reason - there must have been something you didn't tell us?

See, I used to be a nice guy too. But I met too many women who toyed with me and thought emotions are silly and life is an easy giggly joke. And now I look back on it all in sadness wondering why well treated human beings like them end up so nasty. So maybe if you tell me what this guy really did to get under your skin, it will shed some light on my own life.

And if you were bored with the banter, why not take control of the conversation yourself? You know, ask him if he's ever used sex as an emotional weapon and banged his friend's ex so they could compare notes?
 
I think maybe you just don't like guys. Sorry for being one, I blame my parents mostly
 
Heh, maybe he is actually secretly an interesting and slightly rude person underneath, just trying not to scare you off cuz it's a first date after all.
I guess you could sort of test the waters by saying something a little rude/ weird, watching his reaction. If he laughs and looks releived, there's hope yet! ^_~

PS fellas, she's not dissing this blind date guy, she's just saying she wants someone she can be herself around without worrying she'll scare or offend them. I think. We all been there.

No, I don't have a facebook. This blog is my web presence, and if you want to reach me, it connects to my email.

Right now, I live in the bay area, but I tend to move around a lot. Staying in one place makes me so restless.
