Well Saturday, he texts me and says that his boss invited him to go a conference in Austin and that it would be good for his career. (He is in education.) He asks me what he should do. (Why is he asking me?!?!) I told him he should go after a few minutes, he agreed. So he was off to Austin from South Texas.
Sunday he texts me and says that he would like to stop in Houston on his way home to have lunch with me. He estimates he will be in Houston between 12 and 1. I get dressed and ready and he finally calls me at 12:45 and says that he took the Beltway and is in Katy. (ok, if you are NOT familiar with the Houston or the Beltway...DO NOT TAKE IT!) We had agreed to go to Pappadeaux in Stafford and so figuring he was about 20 minutes away, I left.
I get to the restaurant and text him. ETA? He calls and says that he is in Richmond. (WHAT!?!?) So i re-text him the address and he says he should be there soon. (Keep in mind that I am in my car waiting) After about 20 minutes he texts me. He is in Rosenberg. Um...that is not closer to where he needs to be. I call him. How did this happen? He says that his GPS gave him the wrong directions. (Ya think!?!? Plus you said you take 59 South to get home. You should be familiar with the area) I'm getting frustrated and the friend I am venting to says to just leave. I feel bad because he is coming out of his way to see me and so I continue to wait.........and wait......and wait.....
About an hour later, he shows up. He parks right next to me and gets out of the car, apologizing profusely. It's ok I tell him (Yep, I lied!) Ok, He is wearing a white v-neck sweater with a big moose on it from Abercrombie & Fitch. (Gentlemen, if you are still wearing Abercrombie & Fitch clothes and you are 34.....I have a friend who can help you out. She is stylist...Call her IMMEDIATELY!) and his hair...so much gel in there......(I also have friends who can help with that too!)
We go in and put our name on the waiting list (yep more waiting for me) and sit outside at a table to wait for the text. I notice that he is not making eye contact. (i'm a huge eye contact person) Strange but whatever. The table is ready text comes and we are escorted to our table. We have lunch....well I have lunch...he is not really eating (he later tells me he was nervous) and he talks and he talks and he talks and he talks. He tells me that he either wants to be an actor, a director of a university, a CEO of a major law firm or a director of global something...(i totally tuned him out and said "oh cool" and "nice" and "ok" at all the right moments)
His mannerisms are kind of feminine and the waiter keeps coming over and asking HIM if he needs anything. I think I asked 10 times for more DP! (yeah....we are thinking the same thing.) The check comes and J is the one who ends up with a drink for the road.
He tells me that if its ok with me, he is going to get off of Zoosk because he wants to date me. (WHAT?!?! Are we on the same first date!?!?) I don't say anything. (My mom said if you can't say anything nice......)
We walk to our cars and I tell him to text me when he gets home so I know he made it there safe (He had a 5 hour drive home) and we go our separate ways.
I get this text Sunday around 9:45pm:
"Thank you again for having the manly guts to want to meet me lol! I had a very good time, I even ate....Even though I was nervous. And again.....I'm so sorry!!!! Thank you for your patience!"
I say nothing. Monday he texts me...i say nothing. Tuesday he texts me. "Hope all is well! And I am planning to go home....FYI :)"
Crap! Now i have to "break up" with him too! How do you tell a guy "I'm pretty sure you are gay and you need to come out of the closet" (I'm not even kidding...so gay. I AM NOT SAYING THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH BEING GAY! I'm just wondering how tell him he needs to come out of the closet!)
Poor J. This date goes in the books as one of the worst I have ever been on. This is one frog that needs help........in more ways than one!
