So here comes confession time...since December when things last fell apart with BD I have been on match.com. Whatever...judge all you want. Plenty of people meet this way these days, or so I've heard.
Well, to post all the bad experiences I've had since December would be the longest post ever...so this will come in installments as I have the time to share.
#1 Bad First Date: Don't remember his name (it was in December, that was a long time ago).
So, I was online one night and match.com has an IM feature. This guy sends me an IM asking if I was from Indianapolis, to which I replied "yes, I lived there before I moved to Dallas." Turns out he went to Franklin College near Indianapolis, and actually grew up in a town very near where I grew up in Northern Indiana. It was a fine conversation, as I always enjoy meeting other Hoosiers. Well, this fellow was in town for some college football bowl game, let's assume it was the Cotton Bowl (since I know that is actually here). He was on the coaching staff for Ole Miss.
I found it odd that someone from Mississippi was searching in Dallas on match.com, but I figured he was bored or something. Since we had some things in common, I agreed to take him out in Dallas to grab a drink since he had nights off with nothing much to do. So, it was December 30th the night we went out, we just had a couple drinks and some decent conversation. This is a guy I would NEVER date, he was not my type at all, but I (come to find out later, stupidly) thought that we were just getting together because we were from the same part of the country and he was from out of town. While we were out, he went on and on about all the gifts he'd gotten from the NCAA for being in this bowl game.
I took him back to his hotel and he invited me up to his room to see all the fun stuff he'd gotten during the week. Again, since I didn't think anything of this "date" I agreed. We get up to his room, and he wasn't kidding about the gifts. He got all kinds of stuff, a WII, a Tiffany watch and commemorative plate, a mountain bike, an iPhone...and some other cool stuff I don't really remember.
We are standing in his room looking at all this stuff when out of no where he grabs me and throws me down on his bed, climbs on top of me and shoves his tongue down my throat. I have a flash of some lifetime movie that I would be watching saying the whole time how stupid that girl was for putting herself in such a stupid position. I did my best to push him off of me and let him know as politely as I could that I wasn't looking for that, nor was I that kind of girl. He got off me and let me up, and said something along the lines of "oh, I was just seeing how far I could go".
Ok, time to leave! I immediately got up, collected my purse and headed for the door. Being the gentleman he was, he walked me back down to my car. He also had the nerve to ask me out again...for the next night...that's right, New Year's Eve. I let him know that I already had plans, but would let him know if anything changed.
The next day, he texted me asking if we were going to get together. I told him no, that I was going to a party. He let me know that I could come to his hotel after the party...to which I responded "no thanks". I never heard from him after that, thankfully.
I like to think of myself as a pretty smart girl...but in this situation I couldn't have been more stupid and naive. Lesson learned, guys in from out of town searching for girls on match.com...not just looking for someone to go out with...but rather someone to have "fun" with.
Stay tuned for bad first date #2...
