You Know It’s a Bad Jdate Date When…
Top 10 hints it’s a bad date, in no particular order:
- He shows up late. While you’re waiting for him, you receive a call from Guy You Used To Date (with the same first name as Margarita Guy and Tall Guy) and wish you were out with him, even though he a) is a workaholic, b) has ex-girlfriend issues and c) is an inch shorter than you.
- The “really cool” bar you drive 20 minutes to go to is a) empty b) a restaurant that serves drinks, and in fact, not a bar.
- Said “cool” bar suggested by him is in the Valley, even though you’re both 323ers. [ed. note: Who goes to the Valley for a drink when they live in the City?]
- He admits to smoking regularly and “not being ready to quit,” even though according to his Jdate profile, he is “trying to quit.”
- You tell him you don’t date smokers and he still tries to get a second date.
- He brags about being an actor. However, his IMDB listing is quite unimpressive.
- You order grilled cheese and french fries because it’s a) greasy b) good feel-sorry-for-yourself food and c) can be consumed quickly.
- You forgo any alcohol, even though you’re not paying the bill. This was done purely to get out of the restaurant ASAP.
- During dinner, you’re wondering what happened on The Surreal Life tonight.
- You seriously reconsider dating unemployed comics again. They weren’t so bad, were they?
I think I deserve some sort of award for The Girl Who Has Gone On The Greatest Number of Bad Jdates. And that award should be a sane man!
