Guess Whose Date Lasted a Whopping 50 Minutes
Remember when I provided you with my top 10 hints it’s a bad date, back in March? Well, here’s 10 new ones for April, care of Tentative Jdate Guy:
- You do the research and choose the restaurant, even though you’re not familiar with the area either.
- You drive to Sherman Oaks (which is halfway between where you both live) to meet him because he doesn’t offer to drive to the City to meet you. On a Saturday night.
- You mention that Laurel Canyon is still all messed up from the landslides and he asks what Laurel Canyon is.
- You wish you were home in your pajamas watching Law & Order reruns.
- You make a mental note to thank the bartender for the strong drink.
- You arrive at the restaurant at 7:00. And leave before 8:00.
- After being seated at the restaurant named Senor Fred, he says (and I quote) I didn’t realize until I got here that this was a Mexican restaurant.
- You order a margarita and soup (it’s Passover). He orders a beer and a calamari appetizer. At a Mexican restaurant.
- Then asks for marinara sauce to dip the calamari in. At a Mexican restaurant.
- And is surprised when the server explains that no, they do not have marinara sauce. [Ed. Note: Duh?]
Yep, I’m pretty sure he’ll call. Because he’s the kind that will.
