Last night I met a new prospect "D" 47 for a drink. After watching the Oprah episode about the very choosy 40-something year old woman who was trying to find a man, I decided that if I'm going to find love, I may need to relax my standards a little.
So I strapped on my black boots and tried my best not to nitpick poor "D" to death ... but I did notice a few things:
When I walked in, I nearly crashed straight into a good male friend ... so I stopped for a quick chat. "D" was quick to make a crack about me talking to another guy. And when "D" realized I knew a few people at the bar, he said he was ready to go, but I was "welcome to stay" ... hmmmm.
"D" also managed to bring up his ex's in conversation more times that I cared to count.
I only had one drink, and he didn't even make an offer to pay for it.
Although it was a very cold night and "D" knew full well that I'd walked to the restaurant (and I don't live in the greatest of neighborhoods), he didn't offer me a ride home.
Don't get me wrong, "D" had good qualities ... he was interesting, artistic, and he liked my boots. But is that enough? So my dear readers, I ask you, am I being too picky ... or is this the norm in today's dating world?
