Match.com. What can ya say, right?? Guilty as charged...
I met a dood from Idaho. Well, originally - currently of Salt Lake. We emailed for a week or more and he finally asked me out. For Friday night. I had to work. But since I was stuck at home, anyway - why not just do the whole thing at my place - right? I emailed over a confirmation, early in the day, but by the time I left work, I hadn't heard back. So I sent another email around 6, "hey, so I haven't heard from you. It's 6ish and I'm assuming that you either found something better to do, or decided against our plans. Have a good night!." And then I continued my work.
My phone rang around 8. And I was silly enough to answer it. I suggested we do it another time. I was working, so we couldn't go anywhere and it was already 8... But he was insistent. Seriously.
So I let him come over. He said he'd be right here...
I waited. and waited...
10pm and there's a knock on the door. Seriously?! 10pm, he shows up? What happened to "I'll be right there.."?!!?
I will say this for him. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the door. I had been braced for the worst.
Naturally, he's hungry when he arrived. So I took a short break and we drove to Carls Jr. so he could eat. After I've reached another stopping point and he's finished eating, I'm loading up the movies and I hear this, "Do you mind if I go make a stink in your bathroom?"
Wait - what? Are you kidding me?!
My response? "Uhm, I really don't care what you do in the bathroom. It's the first door on the right, down the hallway. I'm not going to time you, or check it when you're done to make sure it stinks or doesn't. And I certainly don't need details, but you're welcome to use it." I said that. really.
So he came back and naturally, sat even closer to me on the sofa. It's a pretty common move, but when you're not all that thrilled in the first place? It can be annoying.
1st movie - 15 minutes into it and I seriously didn't get it. So we stopped it and tried the other one. A little better, but Liam Neeson kinda let me down in this one. But I digress...
Quite possibly 10 minutes into this movie and he crossed his leg, pulled up his pant leg and ... Pulled his leg off?? wait - did that really just happen?? really? So he put it on the floor, looked at me and asked, "you don't mind, do you?"
"well, apparently NOT!!" hahahaha, what on earth am I supposed to say to that!??!
Some dood shows up late for our date and very literally pulls his leg off and puts it on the floor. WTF!! How does one respond to this!?
Somewhere close to the end of the movie, Robyn and her roommate come strolling in. How fun is it to find out that your date was very recently a student of your roommates? So thats... fun...
We finished the movie and talked for a bit, while I waited for the rest of the drivers to get back to the garage.
He asked if I wanted a foot massage. I assured him that I did not. I don't particularly like people touching my feet. He insisted... So I asked him if he had one of those creepy foot fetishes. Apparently he did...
I offered to drive him home. (Turns out that he'd taken the bus, because his car had broken down.) He suggested that there was a lot of room on the carpet and that he could just crash there for the night. Or that the Giant Cuddlebag looked really comfortable. I assured him that there was no way he was staying the night. My uhm... roommates wouldn't approve. I failed to mention that that was creepy. I drove him home. What a great night. Really.... hahahahaha
Turns out, he's got an interesting story. Recent convert to the church, divorced, kid still in Idaho... we'll cover the rest, later...
I'm oh so glad that you did not let him stay in the cuddlebag as that is reserved for me!
