Mood: cheerful, 1263 Views | So you know the first part....and if you don't, click here.....A Real Blind Date!!
Now on to the rest of the story!!!
I did decide to go ahead with this blind date. Off to the movies we headed. On the car ride there, this man did not talk to me, instead, he turned the radio on, sort of to an uncomfortable level whereas one could not reasonably speak over the music....at least not for me, because, I've been told, I do have a very soft and low voice!!! He mouthed the words to the songs...actually it was the same song over and over and over.....something by Pink Floyd....and played air guitar.
Okay....I really didn't know what to think as I'm not used to people in real life doing these actions..... I mean, I've seen it on TV but not in real life. Soooooooooo.....I looked out my side window!!!
It was sad, no matter whether he may have been nervous or was he trying to impress me....I just don't know......but really, I don't like to be ignored and that's basically how I felt he was acting....into his own world of music and not even giving me one glance. It kind of made me think to myself.....gee, am I that horrible to look at???? I mean, usually guys will steal a glance, but not him.
We arrive at our destination, a parking garage to the mall/movie theater!! Okay.....so the parking garage is a little scary, as most are in big cities. He didn't offer to lead the way, make sure no thugs were hanging out around, he kept humming his tune to the music that he played in the car.
So I went into defense mode and he followed me like a disinterested puppy dog, just following along, cuz, there was nothing else to do!!!
We get close to the ticket booth to purchase the movie tickets....he says to me, "you know, if you wash off your lipstick and put your hair in braids, we might get away with one adult and a child! Nah, you're dressed to fancy for a kid!!"
Huh?????? My eyes widened, I smirked and said nothing....I couldn't believe what was just stated!!! But I let it go, because I know people everywhere are always trying to save money one way or another....but I wasn't about to become a child to assist him. If anything I'd pay my own way rather than try to cheat the system!!!
Before entering the actual screen theater part, he offered to buy me a snack and soda. Frankly, I really wasn't in the mood and I generally don't eat certain snacks....you all know...it's cuz of my allergies!!! So I said, no thank you.
We sat around the middle of the theater...since it was a daytime matinee, there really weren't going to be too many fellow spectators. In fact, there were only two other people who arrived.
Without notice, this guy stands up and leaves the theater. He didn't excuse himself, or explain where he might be going. I shrugged it off, thinking he might need to use the men's room!! I don't like that though.....when you go out together, I think it's only natural that one tells the other exactly where they're going. I mean, it's a new place to me as well as he and what if something happens.
He returned and said nothing. Not even, oh, what did I miss? In total, he left the theater three times during the 1 1/2 hour duration!!! Again, no explanation. Perhaps I should have asked, but for me, I already felt mistreated and wasn't about to concern myself!!!
The movie was over and I indicated before we left I'd like to use the ladies room. Hmmmmmm....I'm a very bad girl.....because I didn't actually need to use the ladies room.....I wanted to call my sister to, I guess, in a sense, have her rescue me!!! I tried to call, but I couldn't reach her. So I was stuck to continue on with this date.
As we walked through the hallways leading to the mall, this is where he was smoking and the security officers approached us. When they asked if I was being bother by this man, I did say, oh, no. But that was all I said. I guess they weren't convinced, and pulled him off to another section and me in the other direction. I told the security officer that we were actually on a blind date. That I didn't know this guy at all. The officer explained my date's behavior looked suspicious rather than a date. I admitted I was displeased with the date so far but didn't want to hurt his feelings. The officer said, oh, come on, just ditch him and I'll take you home!!! For a brief moment that sounded very interesting!!! But still I thought it would hurt this guys feelings.
When we met back we headed to an eatery called Perkins, instead of the semi-fancy restaurant. Thank God it is just right next to the mall!! I ordered scrambled eggs and that was it. He ordered a decent sized meal and enjoyed himself. He never did take that hat off, not even at the table. Perhaps the hat thing is all my parents' doing, they instilled in us that a guy must take his hat off in the presence of a lady and, especially at the dinner table.
After the meal, he wanted to go somewhere else and asked if I had any suggestions. I told him it was getting very late and that I had to go home as I needed to leave for a job for my work at 4:00 a.m. the next morning. Which was true. I did. That was the whole reason behind starting the date early!!!
He was a bit agitated, i guess, at the fact that this date was going to be over.....and so once again we drive off with that same music playing in the car and his head rattling around like a hard rocker and strums of air guitar.  A few miles down the road, he turns the music off. He asks me how I think the date went and whether I see the two of us getting married.
YIKES......were we not on the same date????
I honestly didn't know what to say....though I asked God to quickly let me know how to respond.
So the truth is what popped into my head and so I said.....well, marriage??? No. That's something that wouldn't be for quite a while.
So he said, but did you enjoy yourself today?
I said, yes, it was nice.
He says, nice!!!! That's it just nice????
I replied, well, we didn't exactly have a chance to talk much at all.
Then, things got ugly....he said much to me, cursing and swearing....I guess because his chances of a second date were no to never!! Basically, I formed the opinion that this guy was delusional and I definitely felt unsafe!! Thank God, God was with me.
Very shortly we arrive near my home......he didn't even pull into the driveway, but merely off to the side of the road for me to get out!!
I thanked him for the date, and apologized that things just didn't turn out to be anything more than friends!!!
He said, okay and that maybe he'd call me sometime.
Well, sometime, hmmmmmm.....he called the next morning!!! 
SOOOOOOOOOO..........what do you think, should there have been a good night kiss????
a. Yes.....explain why!!!
b. No......no explanation necessary!!! | |
