FIVE Strikes

FIVE strikes.  The guy who called me for a date and I wasn't that too into his looks contacted me about 60 minutes before we were supposed to meet to ask where and what time we were meeting.  These are things we had already discussed a few days beforehand, strike #1.  Strike #2, 20+ minutes late even though I gave him the option to meet later. He insisted he could make it at the time we had initially agreed upon. So, he'd rather waste my time than push back the date, right.

Strike #3, talked about work the entire time (and in great detail, he is a tech person, I am not and didn't understand a thing he was talking about; he didn't seem to care, even when I tried to change the subject several times).  Like a bull in a china shop, he was super loud, spit while talking, etc.  Strike #4, talked about how great marathons are and was trying to convince me that I'm "wrong" for not being interested in marathons.  He even went as far as to suggest I'm "wrong" for never having done a marathon.  He brought up how I should try a marathon about 10 times, talk about a broken f*cking record.

Strike #5, I made it abundantly clear the date was over, yet he kept talking and trying to extend it.  Oh yeah, he also called me "disorganized" because I wouldn't disclose what I was going to do over the weekend.

His personality reminds me of Smart Guy with the whole having to be the smartest guy in the world thing.

Before the date, I didn't know this guy was a computer engineer.  Now I do.  I'm not saying all computer engineers are like this, but what I am saying is ALL of the computer engineers I've gone out with think others are "wrong" if they have different opinions.

    1. Hahaha. And, what's with trying to force other people to be into it?

  2. Yeah! I've gotten that as well. It's so strange. Where is the normal guy who works out a few times a week, watches a few good shows on tv, OWNS a tv, and does normal people stuff? When did sf turn into a city of overachievers? Was it always like this?

    1. SF has always been like this for as long as I've been here (6 years). I really don't like being judged for liking television, I get this a lot on dates, hahaha
