Hi friends. It's been awhile, I know. What can I say? I've just had so much free time on my hands, and I've been so relaxed and not stressed out that I couldn't bring myself to blog about how spectacular my life is. Oh, wait, I got that backwards. However, I have recently entered the shitstorm/maelstrom/impending disaster that is dating. Some of it online, and some of it the result of what happens when I blithely give my number to strangers.
I have been on a few dates this week, and there is a lot to be said about each. Here's a teaser: on the first I got the ole "bait and switch" wherein the photos of said person were clearly from another era in their life/taken from a sufficient distance to entirely misrepresent the person's appearance. I also was the unwitting audience for what I can only assume was a dress rehearsal of a recitation of this man's medical history. Not joking. On the second, I went out with someone who unabashedly answered and made phone calls without any explanation or apology. Call me old fashioned, and I'll call you a dick. On the third, there was a lot of nervous and enthusiastic rambling accompanied by spitting. He later admitted to drinking a Red Bull prior to the date. Sweet.
Additionally, I think you can say a lot about a date judging by the follow-up texts.
