Worst. Date. EVER.

Not sure how to actually convey what happened on my date tonight without sounding like the stereotypical “overly dramatic typical New Yorker”, so am going to keep this simple: it was awful.

Here’s a snap shot of the evening:

• He shows up 35 minutes late.
• He admits he’s had several drinks before arriving (had dinner w/ friends on UES)…and DROVE there. Yes, he drove drunk. Nice touch.
• “Apologizes” for being late a few times rather sarcastically. I tell him I left a work event to meet him and be on time and was about to walk out the door because I normally don’t wait longer than 30 minutes for anyone. Client or date or not. I was pissed, not going to lie to you. He tells me that I should be happy that at least I’m in a bar waiting, and that he’s waited as long as an hour and a half for someone. And was I going to get over being upset and forgive him. Seriously?!?!
• He talked on and on about himself, didn’t ask me anything about me until a good 30 mins into the conversation. I left after 45 minutes. I couldn’t take it.
• Pretty much everything out of his mouth was negative. And clearly his fave topic of conversation is himself. He’s very impressed w/ himself. Did you know he has 9 cars? Well I do. Why?! Because he chose to drive into the City and why would he ever take a cab?? Well had he taken a cab he’d have at least have been on time. But I digress….
• Hates the Hamptons. Hates working out. I know this b/c I asked him questions about himself and what he’s been up to. Like what did he do over the recent long holiday weekend (was in Florida. Hates the Hamptons, why would anyone go there?!). I later tell him that I spent that weekend in East Hampton (b/c he never asked, nor did he ask me much). So I ask where he was during the Hurricane (he was in FL), so then ask if he surfs…well of course he doesn’t b/c he apparently hates working out. Doesn’t know why anyone would belong to a gym. He’s in great shape and doesn’t it show? He has good genes, can’t I tell he’s in good shape? So I say “well yes, which is why I’m surprised to hear you say you don’t like work out”. Well, apparently he swims and is moving around all the time…he just doesn’t consider that working out. Then, surprisingly, asks if I work out + belong to a gym. I tell him yes, started my day off w/ Bikram Yoga and work out daily. At Equinox. He got noticeably quiet after that.
• I finally decided NOT to ask him another question to see what he would do after he finished talking about himself. To see if just if he’d ask me ANYTHING. Well….there was some loud radio silence for about 20 seconds (try that sometime). And then he asked me “so what do you do?”. I tell him I’m in digital media, ad sales. He says “oh so how’s THAT going” in kind of a snarky tone. So I lighten it up by saying it’s going really well (b/c thankfully at the moment it is!). Then asks if I’m a Republican or a Democrat!! I mean… WOW. You could ask me anything in the world and you choose to ask me 2 questions: what do I do and what political party do I associate with?! I told him I tend to not talk politics with people I don’t know well b/c it can be quite contentious and that I tend to vote for the person rather than the party.
• Oh and don’t get me started on the fact that he used to run a strip club in NYC. You really can’t make this shit up. It’s like a movie script.

It was hands down the worst date I’ve ever been on. I just hope that’s the worst it’ll EVER get b/c I’m rather upset right now!!

AAAARRRRRRRGH!! NEXT!!
