"The Marketer" seemed like a fairly nice guy. You know -- good job, nice personality, not trying to freak me out with medical illnesses in the first week. In my book, this one was already a winner.
After weeks and weeks of flirting (why in the hell it takes guys so long to ask a girl out I will never understand), he finally asked if he could take me out that Saturday night. After careful consideration (about thirty seconds of thinking I had no food in the house and a new blouse I'd been dying to wear out), I agreed to go. This is the part where he did his manly bit and asked if I would like to go to dinner or a movie.
Now ladies, I need to make sure we are on the same page here and that you noticed that he said dinner OR a movie....not dinner AND a movie. After some discussion, I suggested that since it was the weekend we'd have time for a casual dinner AND a movie if he was up for that...
To which he replied, "Let's just do a movie. I'm actually saving up for a BMW right now and don't need to really spend any money."
Whaaaaaaaaaat??? Hold the phone a second here. This is the part where i have to tell you this boy was already driving a brand new Jetta! I cut the guy some slack and went on one date with him (longest movie ever), but let me tell you what I learned from this one. If a man cannot get his self together and put a little effort into a nice first date, keep on looking. Chances are he will always put you second to whatever it is that is occupying his attention (in this case, very nice cars). Poor thing, The Marketer got his BMW, but he is still single to this day.
The good news is, I managed to score a really cute pair of brown leather boots out of this one. Don't you just love shopping for first date outfits?!? So many first dates...which may explain why my guest room has turned into my second shoe closet.
On to the next one...but hey, at least my feet look good :)
Cupid Sucks,
