Worst Date Ever Part 2

Just when I think that my dates could not possibly get any worse.........I'm proven wrong...very very very WRONG.

I don't know how many times I'm going to claim this on my blog but...I JUST WENT ON THE WORST DATE EVER!!

I can't believe I'm saying this AGAIN!

I don't know where the problem is...am I too picky or is the quality of the guys I'm dating just plummeting??

I drove home tonight thinking that this is probably just the second worst date ever...but probably pretty close to the WORST..but THEN when I actually rehash all the details of the date, I realize, nope, it's pretty  much the worst date EVER.

I don't even know where to begin to rehash why this was the worst date ever. Oh my gosh...so many horrible details that I do not wish to recall!!

Let me just start by giving a small snit bit of our conversation:

*awkward silence, date just stares and smiles at me...
Me: So...................
*date stares, smiles
Me: SOOoooooo.............Do you have any siblings?
Date: Yes.  *stares, smiles
Me: ............older? younger?
Date: Older. *smiles
Me: ............................how many years older?
Date: A few. *smiles
Me: ..................??
Date: *smiles
Me:  How many siblings?
Date: Three. *smiles
Me: ..............................o_O

This is seriously the most painful conversation I've ever had! I would seriously rather be having dental work done right now than trying to extract a LITTLE bit of info from this GUY! It's like pulling teeth from him!! It gets worse........

*awkward silence
Date: Do you have any interesting stories?
Me: ...................O_O..............what?
Date: interesting stories.
Me: Like what? Like from my childhood? my life? my job? what are you talking about?
Date: ummmmmmmmm..........yeah, anything.
Me: ................um...............I guess I can tell you stories about interesting things that happen to me at work.....

*So I started rambling on about weird patients that I've encountered at work, only to realize that I don't find anything I'm saying remotely interesting so I stop telling my stories mid-sentence and say......

Me: Is this what you are asking me? Is this what you are looking for? I'm not really sure what you mean by "interesting stories".....*puzzled look
Date: Sure. That's fine.
Me: ....................................O_O................(I'm thinking: what's happening right now? This has got to be the worst, most non-coherent conversation I've ever tried to have on a date...)
Date: *smiles
Me: Ok...so I'm going to stop talking about my interesting stories now because they aren't really that interesting.......what do you like to do in your spare time?
Date: watch movies.
Me: Ok...what movies?
Date: *rambled on about all these movies I don't care about...then mentions something about "The Hobbit"
Me: OH! I wanted to watch The Hobbit!
Date: Me too. Want to go together?
Me: um.......................maybe................(I'm really thinking: NO WAY!)
Date: How about this friday?
Me: ...............you mean tomorrow???
Date: Oh yeah. Tomorrow.
Me: No, I have plans (I don't really have plans...)
Date: Oh......
Me: So.....................*silence..............(I'm desperate here...so I just start rambling...)....I grew up in SD, I went to UCSD, then I went to UCBerkeley, and now I'm here, in LA...working....
Date: How about the Friday after New Years?
Me: What?
Date: To watch "The Hobbit"
Me: ........o_O (I'm thinking: are you serious? I just changed the subject...I was talking about something else, this guy is totally not even listening to a word I'm saying!)..........um............I'm going to have to get back to you on that......(I'm really thinking: NO WAY IN H-E-double hockey sticks!!)

**skipping to another part of the conversation......

This guy actually starts teaching me about biology and how sugar is digested in your body...he launches into this long ended, condescending talk about biochemical reactions in your body. He's a computer/software engineer so I ask "how do you know about all of this?" and he replies: "I read a lot of wikipedia pages". I don't know how why or how...but I think a little part of my brain just couldn't handle how bad this date was going but somewhere inside my body...maybe my brain, I snapped. I could not fathom the thought of some computer/software engineer teaching me about BIOLOGY. "oh, no you didn't!" *finger snap

I did not get a B.S. in Biochemistry and Cell Biology at a 4 year university to have some computer/software engineer teach me about how sugar is processed in the body! Ugh! First he doesn't talk and when he does talk, it's OFFENSIVE!

Do you know when a date is going really bad?? I started talking to a girl sitting in a table NEXT to us. Yes, I did. She was sitting by herself and probably laughing her butt off watching my date SINK like the TITANIC. I had more fun talking to her than I did to my own date. I probably would have had more fun just sitting there eating by myself than talk to my date!

Do you know how you know the date is going HORRIBLY WRONG?? WHEN I PAY FOR MY FREAKEN MEAL!!! I refused to let this guy pay! He insisted, which was nice...but then I insisted, "NO, WE ARE SPLITTING THE BILL."

*************Ok, rewind to another date...not as horrible as this one...but maybe equally disturbing....

Date: I don't get sad when things die. I am not emotionally attached to anything.
Me: What?? what about if you had a puppy that you really liked and it died?
Date: I wouldn't be sad.
Me: Really?
Date: yeah.
Me: why not??
Date: Because, it's inevitable. You know it's going to happen. You know it's going to die. Everything dies. It's bound to happen. So why be sad about it?

Ok...to be honest, I was just a little weirded out when I heard my date say this...but when I repeated these words to several friends, everyone thought he sounded like a Serial Killer! And now I'm starting to think so too!!

I mean, think about it! He doesn't have any emotions! You know who else doesn't have emotions? Psychopathic Serial Killers!!!!! And of course, just as I'm writing this blog, he calls me.........not a creepy coincidence at all..............*scared


Maybe I should just give up on dating and just stay home and be safe with Kurtis. I like that idea more. Good bye to dating. Good bye to all this craziness! I'm just going to stick to my non-interesting life for now! Good riddance!
