Looser

I met this guy on a social network; we met face to face at Starbucks. This is something I could never tell my girls about.  They think internet dating is bad and every guy you meet online has an agenda or are married trying to get a side hook up.  I totally understand their concern because I know a few people that have had some pretty messed up experiences, but I figure why not try,  I may have better luck than going out to a club meeting someone drunk.  I had been communicating with this guy over the net for almost 30 days, so making the decision to meet him in person wasn’t so bad.  I felt pretty comfortable. He looked better in person so that was a plus.  He offered to buy my drink and I accepted. He was such a gentleman in the beginning, sooooo attentive, asking me question after question about me.  He said very little about himself, I guess because I was talking so much.  Two hours had gone by then I started to ask him question about him.  That was when it started falling apart.  I knew it was too good to be true this guy had more issues, car was on the blink, just got out a long term relationship, was looking for a roommate to help with the bills etc.  The more he talked the less attractive he became.  By the time he was finished running it down I felt depressed.  I decided it was a lost cause and told him I had something I had to do. Now every since we met at Starbucks he’s been calling and texting.  He’s not getting it, I’m trying to be nice and let him down easy but it looks like I’m going to have to give him the BOOT!!  I can’t even tell my friend about how we met because they would think I was crazy for meeting up with a guy I met online.  I think I may give up the online thing for a while, that mess was traumatizing.  It may not seem so bad to some people, but for me it’s major that I was reduced to internet dating.  DAMM How embarrassing.  I’m taking a break.
