Dating Advice for Guys #306

MAJOR DATING PET PEEVE OF MINE:

Guys, if you want to ask a girl out, ask her out. Don't say I'd like to see you and then spend 20 minutes being namby-pamby about when/where/etc.

I finally took the bull by the horns and said "How about Tuesday lunch?" (There was NO way in hell that I was going to do anything weekend-related for a first date that required more than an hour's time. That's one of my cardinal dating rules!)

Then he went on about what time/where/what kind of restaurant. The dude has a busy work schedule, so I was *trying* to give him the leverage to schedule things but instead, he was annoying me.

It isn't THAT difficult. Pick a day. Pick a time. Pick a place. Each of those are negotiable but geeeze louise, we gotta have a starting off point.

I realize after that painful discussion that there is NO way I'm going to be able to tolerate a lunch with him. I'd want to stab myself in the neck before the appetizer got to the table. I'm even picturing what it would be like if he suggested splitting an appetizer. Shoot me now!

And since someone will ask: I met "M" at the festival last month. He's smokin' hot (personal trainer). He works with a lot of the athletes in town. I didn't have a lot of time to talk to him, so I gave him my email because he was interested in sponsoring next year. We've been back/forth with emails. I'll admit that I had ulterior motives. I could use a trainer to tune myself up a bit. But I don't think I could put up with his less-than-take-charge approach. (Can you imagine him as a trainer? "Gee, I'd really like it if you would do 10 reps. Oh, it hurts. Ok. Stop then. Let's go get some Hagen Dazs instead.")

That's so true. One of the last guys I dated was fairly easy with picking a mutual spot but when we sat down it took him almost 20 minutes to decide what to order! OMG, high maintenance much??? (this was the guy that weighed himself 4 times a day too!)
yeah... FREAK! LOL

Amazing how many guys just don't have a clue about stuff like that!

I try to help... It's sort of a public service.

Sounds like it. I bet he uses more styling products that we do - combined.

Not that YOU need any help. You should be spreading your expertise as well.

I hate chocolate - it gives me migraines.
I have no tolerance to alcohol, so after trying to get my inhibitions loosened, you instead get me passed out. Not much fun that way stud!
