So I heard about a free dating website and thought I would give it a try. I started talking to one guy who seemed great.. and will call him "Mr. Drama."
Mr. Drama said he had 2 children and was very active with them. He seemed like a doting father that had a lot to offer. He had his own business and enjoyed that because he had more time at home with his children.
We decided to meet for dinner at a sushi place in town. When I showed up he was a little shorter than what I thought, but I could deal. The best part is he seemed so normal. And what I mean by normal is easy on the eyes. He was attractive, wore a colored button up top, jeans and had great manners. Its interesting how fast our happy "getting to know you conversation" turned. I asked him about his kids and he started tearing up. He started to tell me about a crazy, made for TV drama story that I could not relate to. I'm not a bitch I felt bad for him, but when the bottom line was he was fighting for custody and then after that was planning on placing a protection order against their mom..... I saw my first RED FLAG! I know that everyone comes with baggage and I know I had my own, but that was way too much for me.
I made a rule that night, if I didn't like how the date was going I would pay for the date. And I was very persist ant that night when the check came. I didn't want to feel like I owed this guy anything. It would also be nice to see if the guy would easily except or fight for the check. This guy put up a fight, but after his sad story which included the sad financial part of going through courts how could I let him.
Afterward he called and told me that what he liked about me was that I was the "mom type" and the "wife type." That got me thinking. Yes I think I am both, but for a guy to talk that seriously so soon didn't seem healthy and I did feel the sudden creepiness. After that I lied and told him I was too busy to date and that I wasn't ready. He called a few weeks later and talked about us being friends and having play dates together, but it just all seemed so creepy. I decided to follow my instincts.
So farewell to Mr. Drama.
