BAD DATES EPISODE II
Well, maybe I bragged too much about how well my dating life was going and that I never had a bad date. Since I’m well again, I had no good first date. But not that there would be interesting stories to tell or weird people, it’s just that you find out quickly: Naaaah! Like today. I always wanted to go to that rooftop beach bar and it’s actually a nice place but you have to pay entry and you don’t leave after 5 minutes when you did that. I was too optimistic. Also, the vibe and the music were really good, so I just wanted to stay regardless of him.
Who is he?
I thought he is a really nice guy. We matched during my time in the hospital and he asked every day how I feel. I appreciated it a lot that he did that. Given that, I felt a bit lost right now because I felt like no one cared about me right now. The first time we wanted to meet he suggested going to a Nike shop with him. I found it really weird and didn’t want to be his shopping assistant. But well, I let him because he was there for me. Half an hour before he canceled because he wanted to go to the barber instead. I told him that I was a bit pissed because I was all ready to leave the house. He answered, „he is not mad“. Why I even kept entertaining this and asking again when he’s free, nobody knows. Maybe my wrong perception of him gave me so much hope. Foolish me.
So unnecessary
We finally meet. He’s like 15 minutes late but didn’t find it necessary to tell me. We sat down in a beach chair and he felt super uneasy. He was scratching himself all the time and was on the phone again and again. He said he needs to be available 24/7 for his company and he needs to take the calls. I told him I don’t want that anymore, I am happy to leave my office at 7 and not have to think about it anymore. He didn’t understand. He didn’t go on vacation for 10 years now and also didn’t get me worshipping my days off so that I can travel.
All for the money
He told me he came here for the job, meaning the money. Being swiss it must mean something. He said he would move anywhere if the money is right and he just moved here from Singapore, even though he liked it there. I told him money is never my number one thing, I must like the company and their culture. I even took the worst offer when I had 3 offers at the same time, just because the company I worked for at the moment didn’t have people leaving on a daily basis. After saying that he treated me like the most stupid person on earth. And though he was bragging so much about how much money he makes, he didn’t even invite me for a beer. I don’t expect it but in this case, I was really pissed. He made it seem like I should be happy, he even made time for me.
So much hate
Okay, I got it, he was a very stubborn person that can’t let others‘ opinions exist next to his. Like we wouldn’t have disagreed already on enough, he put this gem out there: The best example for me is the pizza thing. We were talking about breakfast. I told him I love cold pizza breakfast and he said he hates people who love cold pizza, if he would find out that one of his friends likes cold pizza he would quit the friendship with them. That’s a very harsh opinion on just food. He was not trying in having a good time but I wasn’t either. We were super turned off of each other. I would say. I just wanted this to end and we finally made it downstairs, where I planned to say nothing because I knew, we wouldn’t see each other ever again. But he still said this fake „Let’s grab dinner sometimes“ and I still said my fake yes. Why are we even doing this?
