I just met her, she seems crazy, but I’m giving her another shot
Welcome back!
Alright, so, I meet this girl at a bar a few weeks ago and we kind of hit it off just chatting about random stuff. So, I ask for her number and she gives it to me. Sounds great right? So far, it did!
I gave her a call a couple days later, playin the whole game the way it should be, and we start chatting. We talk about different things, like music, sports, dating, relationships, etc. First call in the bag, things are goin great, the girl sounds like a great catch so far. So, I say, what the hell, I’m going to give this one a shot and ask to dinner a few days from now.
I give her a call back the following night, we start talking again. I get into it about working and what a bummer the economy is. She gets into it about work to, being a middle school teacher, she had tons of stories about her “kids.” So, I ask her out to a Japanese restaurant, and the plot thickens.
We get to the restaurant, I order a bottle of wine, we start chatting and she starts drinking. Uh oh, Houston, we have a problem, WINO ALERT! This girl is downing the wine like she hasn’t seen wine before. Not only that, but its like this girl has never been to a nice restaurant before in Hollywood. Everyone that walks through the door, she is like “oh, who is that, they are getting seated right away, its gotta be someone famous.” I was getting sooo furious by this point, but, I try to keep my cool and I do. I pick up the check like any guy should on the first few dates and I think we are on our way, WRONG!
After I pay for the check, this girl wants to make sure we finish the bottle. At this point, I don’t want to drink anymore because I have to drive, want to be responsible, and don’t want a DUI. But, she is shooting the wine out of the wine glass like its beer out of a beer bong? Excuse me, I didn’t realize we just turned 21 and are in college again. She’s slurring all over the damn place and I suggest we get going. She is pretty trashed, valet pulls the car around, and we are out of there, finally!
I drop her off at her place, open the door to let her out, and as she is about to leave, we start to kiss. As she gives me the proverbial goodnight kiss, she starts to walk away drunkenly. Of course, I still think to myself…”I’m gonna give this one another shot.”
Isn’t an Introduction enough?
I fancy myself a “team player” and I like to fix up my friends with each other but when it comes to dating, a lot of people need way too much help.
Yesterday I told a guy friend of mine to check out one of my single girlfriends on MySpace because I thought they’d be a good fit. After looking at her pictures, he writes me back and says, “Please arrange a meeting with her in a casual non-blind date environment.” WTF? I never said I was planning the date for him! Did I mention that this guy is in his 40s? Hasn’t anyone ever told him how to sack it up, be a man, and ask a girl out on a real date?
Now I’m worried. If I let him plan the date on his own, he’ll probably do something really lame. On the other hand, I really don’t want to have to hold his hand all the way through the date set up. What’s next? Is he going to need me to come on the first date with him? Crap! Either way this is NOT looking good.
From now on, I’m going to have to institute an “Introduction ONLY” rule. If a guy friend can’t do something with that, he’s probably shit out of luck anyway. You’ve got to be able to close, that should be the lesson learned here!
