I don't like going on unpleasant dates, not just because I have to sit through it while it's happening, but also because I think about it afterwards. I've been thinking about that date last Saturday night with the irritating comments and questions guy.
I think what bothered me most about him/that evening was he couldn't care less whether or not I was having a good time and talked AT me. I didn't seem like I was having a terrible time, but I also gave no indication that it was a good time and I wanted to see him again. I was simply polite and there.
I finished my dinner much faster than he did because 1) I wanted to leave and 2) I wasn't talking nonstop. We didn't have a conversation, it his soliloquy. He kept going on and on talking about anything he wanted to talk about and didn't seem to care if I was even listening. It was like I was listening to his stream of consciousness. He was already trying to fit himself into my schedule. He just assumed I wanted to fit him in my schedule? Asking me where we'd go on vacation together? Again, I did nothing to indicate we'd have a second date, so vacation together???? I gave him a strange look when he said that. And, he didn't like my job and wanted me to get a new one. So not only was this guy unaware of reality, he's also controlling.

After the check was dropped off, I looked at my watch about 12 times to subtlety let him it was time to go. The waiter walked by five times and the check must have sat for over ten minutes. So, I had to spell it out. Then, he wanted to go somewhere else to get a drink. So he could talk at me some more. No. I don't know why he thought I'd want to continue the date. Actually, from what I've seen, I don't think he cared if I wanted to, he just wanted to because it would have been fun for him.
