Bachelor #32

Sometimes, on a blind date, you know in the first 3 seconds that he's definitely not the guy for you. Other times, it creeps up on you slowly over the course of the evening.

At first glance, Bachelor #32 was OK. Decent looking, well dressed, neatly groomed, with a warm, if slightly crooked smile. Conversation flowed easily enough. There was laughter, the usual exchanging of stories. Then gradually, it started to dawn on me: when it was my turn to tell a story, he'd laugh. When it was his turn? I'd find myself thinking about my plans for the weekend.

OK, so he was a little on the boring side. We can't have everything, now can we? But then his cell phone rang. And he answered it. I am pretty sure that is in strict defiance of dating etiquette. So now he's boring and also rude.

And then he told me how much money he makes an hour, and asked me how much my house cost. Does that fall under rude, or cheap? Considering the fact that he got there by bus, I think we can safely say there's a bit of both.

So... boring, rude, and cheap. Three strikes, you're out.

Next.

Damn - boring, rude AND cheap. Holy Jebus - at least with 2 of those, you could convince yourself that maybe date 2 might be different and then he had to answer the cell phone - ON THE FIRST DATE!!!! WTF??? Good lord -I thought that was totally not allowed unless you involke the 'emergency back up plan' with the girlfriend.
