Shawn….is a DUD

Ok – so here’s how it goes.  I meet this guy Shawn online.  He looks really cute on his picture – he’s 6’5, tells me he’s a “bigger” guy….which is fine because I like bigger guys.  So, due to his trip to Florida, we’ve been chatting every couple of days on the phone and whatnot.  Seems to have a good personality and we chat easily.  So we arrange to meet at a bar about 25 minutes North of me.

 Now – first, me being a girl, I always appreciate it when the guy will go the extra mile and come my way for a first date but whatever.

 Second – as I approach the bar and see him waiting for me – WOW.  Um yea…..clearly the picture he’s got posted is YEARS old….because this dude in front of me is around….375 pounds…. PLUS his complexion is all pot-marked.  The cute guy in the pictures is not discernable in the man before me. At all.  I spent the whole time either trying to not look at him or looking at him and trying to find some sort of resemblance to the pictures online.  NONE.

 Ok, so I figure I’ll play the “I’m really tired” card and tell him I’ve had a long day (FYI I had one of the easiest days of my life) and just want a couple drinks and head home to bed.  So I can do this – I try to put the urge to use the restroom and bail behind me because, well, his chair is facing the door and he’d see me leave LOL

 So we start chatting … I can talk to a wall and keep myself entertained, so I keep talking and talking and avoiding eye contact.  We start talking about children and here’s some information that would have been useful a week ago – he doesn’t want kids.  I do.  They are a lot of work. And a lot of responsibility.  No shit, Sherlock.  It’s called being selfless and creating or nurturing a life.  So that clinched it for me and as adamant as he was on arguing on never having kids, I was adamant on HAVING kids.

 My profile clearly states I want children.  I’m very open about my life.  Add the fact that he never spoke of his family, never spoke of his job that he apparently doesn’t like but just can’t decide what else he would like to do….Dude – you are 39 years old – shouldn’t you have a game plan by now? Shouldn’t you be ready for some responsibility by now?  Geez ow!

 So after meeting him, a self-professed cheapo, each of us having had two drinks and me refusing food (because that would have meant more time spent with him), he gets an order of wings to go, and $55 later (which, for our area of Ohio, is REALLY expensive) – as in I could have had a steak dinner and two cocktails for half that price – he walked me to my car, seemed to have picked up on the “fuck off” vibe and didn’t even try to hug or kiss me goodbye.  Whew!

 So I came home, another guy I’ve met online emailed me and we’ve exchanged numbers. LOL
