One-Sided Conversation
It probably wasn’t the worst, but it just didn’t make sense.
First date with this guy, he says we should meet at a nearby coffee shop. I arrive and introduce myself and hop into line to get coffee. He looks upset, so I ask him what’s up. He says he hates coffee.
Umm…Ok. We can get something else on the menu. But he also didn’t bring any cash, because his last few dates made him pay. And he’d rather just do something that didn’t require money. Then why did we meet at a shop.
Anyhow. I start brainstorming stuff we can do that require no cash. He’s shooting down all the options I gave (local zoo, art gallery, etc.) because they involve driving more than 4 blocks away. So there’s a lake nearby, let’s just do a lap around that.
We walk, and the guy is giving me NOTHING. Every question is met with a short, closed answer.
Where did you go to college and what did you study? –Wisconsin. Biochemistry. Oh! Tell me about that! Biochemistry sounds really cool, and I love the campus at UW. –It was ok.
Cool story bro. Anyways, so we make it back to where we started and I’m like, “Ok man, you seem really not into me, so how about we part ways” but in nicer terms. The guy FLIPS.
“You said you were free between 1pm and 3 pm! That means we still have an hour! You said you were free! So we are hanging out until 3!!!”
Alright dude, if you want completely one-sided conversation for an additional hour, sounds great.
