I can’t say the date with the ‘nilla guy was a bust necessarily. But it will be the only one. We went out to eat and conversation flowed nicely. We went bowling and it was enjoyable enough. I invited him in to watch a movie when we got back to my sisters and he instantly said yes. Nothing happened during the movie. We stayed on our respective ends of the couches but did chat sporadically throughout. Then when the movie ended, he couldn’t leave fast enough!
I was rather puzzled by the whole thing. We texted later and he said he wasn’t interested in seeing me again. I told him I really appreciated him being forward and honest about it, which was genuine. I expected that to be the end of the conversation. But then he came back with the explanation that it was the distance thing. I hadn’t asked for a reason and explained that he didn’t owe me any explanation. I expected that to be the end of the conversation. He said something back again which lead me to inquire as to why he even wanted to go on one date with the distance was going to be a problem. He said he wanted to give it a chance. Guess I didn’t impress him enough to want to at least keep talking! I threw out that I would be in the area again over spring break if he wanted to get together, even just as friends. He said he’d keep it in mind. Then I made it clear the conversation was ending. I said thanks again for dinner and that I had a nice time. He replied with “I had a nice time too. Good night, Chessa.” WTF? You had a nice time? You just told me you didn’t want to see me again yet you had a nice time? Like I’d said, I felt there were multiple endings to the conversation yet he always came back with something. Whatever, dude!
It really is for the best. The distance would have been an issue eventually. Plus, I found out after the fact his best friend is a girl…whom he dated for a while. I refuse to go there. I’ve been dumped for the ex who’s “just a friend” too many times. I wasn’t totally sold on him but I liked him enough to want to get to know him better. I was right about his dry personality though, but perhaps a more outgoing, fun side would have come out eventually. Oh, well. School is starting now so I won’t have the time or energy to care about dick for a while.
