You Know It’s a Bad Jdate Date When… (Part III of a Series)
In case my first and second sets weren’t enough, here’s 10 more hints (care of Separated Guy) it’s a bad date:
- He shows up 25 minutes early. I’m sorry, that’s not allowed.
- He looks nothing like his year-and-a-half-old picture.
- He says, “Instead of flowers, I got you this.” This being a t-shirt with the logo of the studio he’s working on a film for.
- He then tells you he gets a discount at the studio store.
- He talks endlessly about his director boss and the super secret film he’s working on.
- He doesn’t open any doors for you.
- He orders an entree then declares it too messy to eat so he says he’ll take it home to eat later.
- He asks what you want for dessert, then orders what he is craving.
- You tell him you want to stop in Barnes & Noble to pick up the Avenue Q soundtrack for a friend. He asks what Avenue Q is. You explain it’s a show with puppets and it won a Tony. He still has no clue.
- In a whiny East Coast accent, he calls you Hil all night. Hi, you don’t know me. My name is Hilary.
Three sentence recap for my mom: No, I’m not too picky. Yes, he’ll probably call. No, I won’t go out with him again.
At least I’m not alone. Check out 10 Dates.
