Down but not out

Blind dates are things that no matter how much you might think they might be different, really shouldn't be done. I thought I had gotten out of mine but at the last minute it was back on. I was stupid I went.

 

First off I made the mistake of saying yes. I knew he was younger I just didn't realize that meant being cold. Funny how no matter how much weight you lose, or how much better you feel, someone sees you and says the wrong thing - bam! It's back to square one.

 

I always feel for a first date you go somewhere public where if either party is uncomfortable they can make a graceful escape. Hard to do however when the blind date isn't calm about it.

 

"Wow! You're old and FAT! Can't date you. Bye"

 

Great blind date. Let me tell you. At least it was short.

 

Oh well. I have stories to write. So feeling down but won't let it put me out.

Don't you dare let that arrogant, self centered, selfish, did I mention arrogant pig of a man get you down. You're a beautiful man, your words show that. Spit in his eyes and mark it down to experience,

Nephy is right Wayne. He's a jerk and you don't want someone like that, you don't need someone like that! You are so much better than him. I know it hurts but you are better off.

 

tons of hugs! :hug:

His loss. Don't let that stop you from taking a chance again, I'm sure you'll find a winner out there :)

I want to say I can't believe someone would say that, but my generation seems to be the must repulsive yet (I'm assuming he was around my age).

 

The least he could have done was have a conversation with you.

 

I wish there weren't so much hostility between gays. How does the people expect to "find love" if it's always a game of oneupsmanship? Half the profiles I read on dating sites say something disparaging other gays, and more often than not it seems to have to do with the speaker's own insecurities.

 

I know how that stuff can ruin your day though. Sorry man.

Haha wow, dude that sucks. Were y'all referred to each other or was it a blind blind date?

 

I'm sorry for chuckling, but that isn't at you. This will be one of those moments you'll (hopefully) eventually laugh about too. smile.png like you said, don't let it put you out. The 4 people above me covered it pretty well smile.png

 

This reminds me of a time a coupla years back...talk about a nut buster. I was talking to a friend of mine and he told me he use to bartend at this gay bar downtown and made a lotta tips cuz guys liked him or whatever. It helped that he was legitimately straight. I don't think he's all that good looking but I guess if he cleans up, cut his hair and made an effort, yeah ok he's prolly an 8, but most of the time he's a fuckin slob. Anyways, 1st semester freshman year I was looking for a part time job and got intrigued about what he just said so I was like "yeah, maybe I can do what you did, you said you made a lotta tips right?" and I was semi-serious about it. His response was something like "Dude you're not that good looking, you're not gonna make money at all" and he wasn't kidding. He prolly saw the "uhhh" look on my face and proceeded to explain how after a while he could tell what gay guys liked and that I wasn't it at all. I laughed it off we moved on to another topic but I was secretly sorta crushed. I was 18, completely closeted, no GA, never dated, never kissed a guy, virgin. I had girls tell me I'm attractive before but I was under the impression gay guys' were different. So I thought, ok he's 24, been around lots of gay guys so maybe he knows what he's talking about...well shit, sucks for me.

I'm late and people said so before but.., what an asshole. *shakes her head in disbelief* I mean I never went on a blind date and I'm not one for dating anyway (Significant Person and I met at a bookshop, she was the store assistant and I am a former librarian and that was that) and get a lot of bad well,"things" from other lesbians, too, which these days I mostly pin on either their weak egos (a lot of those real loud mouthed "power women" are actually forced closet cases over here) or jealousy (I'm not vain or something, but I do look better than most of them, despite being slightly deformed, on pain management and using a cane - yae me!) but I just can't understand this fixation on looks in parts of the community. It doesn't say anything. Also, back to that guy, didn't he know what age you are? And you're not that old, mind you. I just don't get it.
