Have you ever had one those amazing dates where you feel the stars align and the universe conspired to bring you together (I think I’ve used this lines a few time in my blog, but bear with me). ﾂThe person stares deeply at you and listens to every word and tells you everything you want to hear (like yes I want to have kids, yes I would love to massage you all day long), or ordering the exact same dish as you?
On the other hand, have you ever had a date when you’re like WTF! Couldn’t tell me you… are married, have 5 kids at home, was just released from prison, got out of a relationship yesterday or even YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND!
This certainly hasn’t been my first instance of this but it definitely was one of those – ah hot damn – I thought I won the dating lottery to lose it by not hearing the right numbers (in this case not asking the right questions up front before wasting my time).
It was a chance meeting of this guy I met at my friends party, smiles were exchanged, glances were exchanged and then numbers were exchanged. We texted over 100 lines of text that night to setup our first date which brought us to our first (and last) encounter of wine at his place. ﾂI’m skipping over a lot of details, I’m sure you’re not interested in hearing about like his pedigree and if he sleeps with 0,1,2 or 3 pillows. ﾂAnyhow – we get back to his place, it’s clean, the view is great, and he has proper wine glasses (bachelor’s (gay or straight) typically don’t carry these). ﾂSo we sit down sipping on the wine and gives me access to his wifi network (which gives me the ability to change his music on the iTunes AirPlay (thank G-d). ﾂSo I’m downing glass 2, and the music evolves from Mozart, toﾂPhil Collins. Unfortunately we get stuck on second gear. With the meaningful (thoughtful playlist I have called ‘date music’) he throws a curve ball at me mentioning ‘oh by the I’m not sure if I mentioned this but I have a boyfriend.
How he got boyfriend out of the words of “we’ll be together..” the Phil Collin’s song from Tarzan, befuddles me. ﾂAnyhow, stepping out of a minor shock (I mean this was a guy I thought I was going to marry after knowing for 24 hours (give or take), just tells me he’s beholden to another man. ﾂNow I could have done the classy thing and just chugged the bottle of wine and went to homebase, however, I chose the other path. ﾂ I changed the music to ‘Cell Block Tango’. ﾂTalk about a sudden mood shift. I think he was as speechless (and nervous) after I told him the lyrics to the song were great. ﾂSecondsﾂlater – he said he had to go to the restroom, he comes back out and I have a smile (the music is still playing in the background). He says he’s tired and needs to call it a night (and doesn’t touch his wine). ﾂSure I could have laced it with the various fun prank special additives they sell at the SF Spy Shopﾂ– he did have it coming : )
He had it coming..
