I’ve really been neglecting this place. Anybody still stop by to see if I’ve written an entry or two? LOL, I’ll try to at least update once a month. Work has been pretty busy and overall my life isn’t interesting over here.

Oh, yeah, I do have something to write about actually. I actually thought about writing about this last week but never got around to it.

I seem to have this gift of attracting real big jerks. I’m not sure what it is, my pheromones probably. I changed deodorants, but still no changes! I have this ongoing joke with my friend Frank, that if a guy is attracted to me or I’m attracted to him he’s probably one (or all) of the following: jerk, asshole, immature, inconsiderate, an idiot. They’re really good at disguising it at first too. I fall for it. . .e v e r y time!

Last week I was stood up by someone I had been talking to for a while. He made a date, postponed, then the postponed date didn’t ever happen. No explanation, no sorry, no phone call . . .nada. Oh, and no, nothing happened to him either, we have mutual friends and seems like he’s still breathing.

So I mentally made a list of the top 5 worst guys/dates I’ve ever had. These are in no order, they’re all equally bad:

1. Being stood up by this guy who seemed genuinely interested in me. This is the most recent that’s why it’s number one. I still can’t seem to wrap my brain over the fact that he turned out to be so rude to me. It’s hard to go from, *swoon* he’s so adorable, so sweet, so nice. . . to wtf? Where is he? I was stood up? WHY?! And then go to, “Is he okay? Maybe something happened.” Then find out nothing happened, and I was really stood up and then I go back to, “UGH, that’s so wrong! I deserve an apology.” And then realize that in life we don’t usually get what we deserve. Grrrr.

2. Once I met up a guy on our first date at this restaurant/pub. He was witty, nice, so sweet. . .the usual perfect man in disguise. We made plans to meet right after his last winter final. I get there first and I’m just shaking with nerves and excited. He walks in and he has a rose in his hand. Before I got a chance to say, “Awe,” he threw it in my face and said, “Here, I guess you deserve this.” He was rude to the waitress (SOOO RUDE), mean to me, and apparently he had bombed some really important test. As soon as he walked into the restroom, I stayed at the table debating, “Do I leave? This is my chance!” The waitress walked by, she was about to pass my table and she turned back around and said, “Girl if I were you, I’d leave, what a jerk!” So I did. Never heard from him again.

3. I was dating a guy for months and everything seemed great. We were awesome, very compatible, we were doing pretty good. At a friends wedding, while we were on the dance floor he looks at me and says, “I wish Hallmark made an I hate you card, I’d buy it and give it to you.” I was shocked but then thought he was joking. There was no reason to be mean to me. We never even fought! I laughed and said, “What? Why?” And then he said, “This isn’t working out.” And he left me in the middle of the dance floor. (later on he tried to redeem himself, but I’m not a forgiving person.)

4. I once had a lunch date with an ex-coworker. We kept in touch for years. When I showed up to the restaurant, she was accompanied by some guy. I figured it was a coworker who tagged along. I sat down and she introduced me. Then she says, “Oh, you know what I have to go back to work. Why don’t you two have lunch.” She hadn’t even told me I was going on a blind date and it was so awkward. I was mixed with angry and confused emotions that I really didn’t care to make a good impression. That poor guy, he apologized for HER rudeness and told me he would have never accepted if he would have known I didn’t know about it.

5. I had this friend who I randomly dated off an on. We remained pretty close friends and kept in touch a lot. On the day my grandmother was having heart surgery he gives me a call. He quickly asked about my grandmother and before I could even talk he cuts me off and tells me, “Hey I’m on my lunch break. Real quick, do you have any STD’s because you’re the last girl I was with and I want to sleep with this girl I’m dating but I haven’t gotten checked.” We hadn’t been together in about a year and a half. . .and I’m on the other end of the phone concerned about my grandmother’s heart surgery and he had the gall to just ask me like that even though he should regularly get checked because it’s the MATURE thing to do! Yeah, we’re not friends anymore.

Now that I’ve made that list, I got a couple of more, but I’ll leave it at 5. You know, reading back on this it doesn’t really make me mad. Makes me laugh a bit, one of those, “I can’t believe people like this exist” type of laugh, if that make any sense.

So what’s the worst date you’ve ever been on?
