The reason I didn�t tell you about my date on Saturday was because I haven�t heard back from the fellah, Steve, yet. Gosh, guys are so strange�
He came to get me at Rachel�s house and we took a walk to the movie theatre to see what was playing. We chatted about how our days were and all that small talk jazz. The walk to the theatre involves taking what I like to call, �The Tetanus Bridge�. It�s this ancient bridge, made entirely of concrete and rusted I beams. that stretches over the regional rail road tracks, 30 feet below. I was just being Me and joking around, saying how we were about to walk across the scariest bridge in the world and called it The Freddie Kruger bridge a couple times too. Steve grabbed my hand and off we went. I thought that was sweet. Then he stopped me and gave me a smooch (complete with face touching) because I was being �so adorable�. I was thinking, �Finally. Someone who can appreciate my quirks.� Even after we had survived the evil bridge, he was till holding on to my hand. (Awwwww, how nice.)
We arrive at the theatre and our choices for first date fun, were: Hitch, Are we There Yet, Hide and Seek, and Boogey Man. I was NOT watching a movie made by the same people who made The Grudge, so fricken Boogey Man was a no-go. I wasn�t in the mood for a bland comedy, so Are we There Yet and Hitch were also a �no�. Hide and Seek was left, so we bought tickets. The movie started about an hour and a half later, we decided to go next door to the diner and get some grub.
Something you should know. In my past I have met only a handful of guys who spark something inside me and make me feel almost as interesting as they are. I love men who talk. I love seeing life behind their eyes. But every time I meet someone like that, they are always interested in being just friends. The gals these guys usually end up dating are annoying, plain, boring, and bitchy. Ain�t that just a slap in the face�
I�ve asked my guy friends, you know, the whole �what�s wrong with me� question. They either tell me that men are idiots or that I�m too aggressive. That last one really gets my blood boiling.
It really sucks to hear that I can�t get a real man to hang out with me, because my behavior is unappealing to them. I mean, does anyone want to hear that being themselves doesn�t cut it? That I have to be something else? More stupid maybe? Maybe THAT will land me a man� I�d rather dive into a pool of rusty razors. Or I know, I can wear my pain on my sleeve and become very poetic and tragic and wear black all the time � at least it will match my black heart. Whatever.
The point is that I have pretty much given up on finding someone who can curl my toes. I really have. I thought that maybe those type of guys are a part of my immature past and now I have to settle down and find someone I am content with. Someone I�m not as entertained by, but who has a decent outlook and stable job. Maybe that�s what grown-ups do. Maybe I should do that too.
That�s why I went out with Steve. I wanted to give him a chance because he already expressed how much fun he had when he met me and how much he liked me. Maybe I made his toes curl. I couldn�t deny him of that.
So there we are at the diner, chatting about this and that, nothing too exciting. In short, we saw the movie, barely liked it, and he walked me to the train. I kissed him goodbye and got on.
He called me ten minutes later to tell me how much fun he had and that he�d call me tomorrow.
Uh huh. That was Saturday night.
What a joke.
