The first time we scheduled a date I blew him off partly for Mr. Sparks. I felt kind of bad for giving only a 12-hour notice cancellation, but he was quite understanding and nice about it. He even followed up later to ask me out again. Persistence in men do pay off.
I went to Midway museum with him. It's my first time to visit the Midway so I was quite excited. He took charge to arrange the time, even informed me that it was 9/11 so there would be a mayoral speech. I like a man who takes care of things.
The first impression when I met him? Bitterness. It's odd because he didn't sound bitter through our emails or even phone conversations. But when I met him that's the first thing I thought about: man you must be really pissed off about something. Then I learned that his daughter was moving out of state to live with her mother and dropping out of college. Yes man you have it tough. I will be nice...
First "deal breaker"*: he just seem so miserable and bitter. I appreciate him coming on a date under such circumstances, but man I'd rather him stay home and kick the dog.
Second "deal breaker": he's quiet. I like a man who can talk because I am quiet, and I can only initiate conversations so many times in a set time frame.
Third "deal breaker": he wants to live in Fallbrook... Um, I grew up in a city of millions and millions of people where the night never ends, and my future with this man will be in Fallbrook? Sorry, that's just not me.
Fourth "deal breaker": I like a man who's conscious about money but not counting every penny. The first time he uttered money was when we saw this old radio the navy used to use. He said: "I bet this cost thousands of dollar." I thought to myself: okay, sure good observation. But these comments just keep on coming. Everything we saw and touched, he put a $ sign on it. I felt like I was in the 30Rock episode where Kenneth saw everything as muppets, Tracy saw everyone as himself, and Jack saw everything with a $ sign on it. Except The Money Man isn't nearly as hot as Jack...
I let him pay for some food after our visit but I kept wondering if his heart was breaking because he had to shell out $10 for me. He didn't act cheap during the date but I kept thinking the cheapness is going to come out of the closet one day.
After the date he politely walked me to my car. He contacted me once after the date but I just conveniently forgot to reply.
What I learned: where to buy a big planter box.
No more communication.
* These aren't actually my general deal breakers. I have a fairly short deal breakers list. But these are definitely breakers for this deal...
