Online Dating Undercover: Part 13 (Cont'd)

I have a date for this Friday. 7:00 pm at Chili's, if anyone wants to come spy. It is with the man mentioned below, the one who fueled my little rant. We were online at the same time yesterday, so he opened a chat window and we started talking. More like interviewing. It's like I can only get him to talk if I ask a question, and then I get these one sentence answers. Just talk about your day! The sky! The reason you have 5 dogs... anyway, when I could tell that he wasn't going to bring up his open-ended invitation, I (of course) had to take matters into my own hands:

Me: So did you get my email?
Him: Yes I did. Last night at about 10.
Me: And...?
*pause...pause...pause...
Him: And I'm sorry I didn't follow up with you about dinner.
*pause...pause...pause...
Me: So follow up right now (duh! get on with it!)
Him: Okay. So what night works for you?

And on and on. I chose the place and he chose the time and we're going to meet. Wah, wah. That's my bored, unimpressed sound. Oh well. For the sake of this blog, I shall go. For the sake of investigatory journalism, I shall subject myself to a free meal.

(Oh, and I've had 3 responses to messages I've sent to guys. Good for them! Bravo, boys! And then I wrote a little something back. I believe its called "conversing".)

free meal! unless he claims his dogs ate his wallet...he's either really creepy, really shy, really shy and creepy, or totally heartbroken from a bygone romance that shattered his life. i've learned that girls get broken hearts, guys get shattered and some never recover. no matter what, you will have A LOT to share after that date.

Lolly! Megan just told me about this site. You Are Hilarious! You should make this guy take you to some place way more expensive. He owes you. Okay, I need to start back at the very first post you put up. Got my popcorn ready. Blink blink!

I've going out to purchase a trench coat, derby, and sunglasses today. I'll be there watching his EVERY move! He better treat my daughter right.... no, not even right... he'd better treat you SPECIAL!! Bless his little heart.
