Oh Hell, He has on Reader's............

Well ladies and gents, another day and another grueling date.  Although, this time I decide to pick the place that my girlfriends go every Tuesday so I could hang with them a bit before my date arrives.  He told me he needed to meet me late and at this point I am not sure why.  But I take this opportunity to unwind with a few girlfriends.  At about the time my date was to arrive, my girlfriend that was facing the door screamed, "He's HERE" (she did not even know what he looked like).  She then says. "OH MY he just put on his reader's, OH HELL HE HAS ON READER'S" and "He is texting you right now". Sure enough my phone beeps and it is a text message.  I get up from my seat and wave him over to my table.  He does in fact have on reader's and I wonder what he is trying to read as he meets my friends.  My friend's offer him a seat at our table but he declines and says he would rather sit alone with just me.  Off we go as my girlfriends make fun of me and him.  We sit at our own table and order our food. Now, I must say he said he was in his early 40's but in reality he looked like he was in his early 60's.  He has on dress clothes while I am wearing my jeans.   I soon find out why he needed to meet me later.  I find out that he is just a few months divorced and he has been to a support group for divorced people.  That is why he had to meet me later due to his divorce group.  He then tells me that this is his THIRD go at divorce group.  Now he is only recently divorced like 2-3 months and he has attempted this divorce group three times already.  We sat and ate and talked about divorce group for about an hour.  I then did not want him to see me stabbing myself in the eye with the fork, so I told him I needed to go to the bathroom and headed back over to my friend's table and realize I was gone far too long.  I head back to the table and he has gotten the check.  I am guessing he was too tired to pull out his Reader's because he handed the bill to me and ask that I read it to him.  He then later told me that he had Reader's but was too embarrassed to pull them out.  In the back of my mind, I was thinking aww hell we already saw those bad boy's no need to hide them now.  He paid the check and asked me to go downtown with him to sing karaoke.  Now, this is a Tuesday night it is late and you have reader's, the last place I am trying to go is downtown with you.  Heck how could he read the words on the screen to even sing?  I of course said yes and said I would meet him there.  Instead I met my bed at home.  WHY DO I DO THIS?????  Time and time again I agree to go or do something and go home instead.  What does this say about me.
Later last night I get this nice little text from Oh Hell, He has on Reader's....

OHHHOR:  Where are you? WOW (insert my name here)!!!!  Life is too short for grudges.  But I sure thought u were a straight shooter.  My best to u.  U r cold to lie to me.  My best to u. why didn't u just be honest. A no is fine w me.  It is no big deal.  Just be who u hold yourself out to be.  The main reason I went out w u was because u seemed to be a person who says what she thinks.  If u need help w it I'll help u as a friend. 

Me: No response.

Question do I need to sign up for a "group"?  I am not sure why I keep doing this, saying I will go elsewhere with a date and instead going home.  I just wish a date knew when to end the date, but it is as if this is there last night out before they are locked up for life. And really how long should a first date be?  Within six seconds of meeting a person you know if you like them or not.  I don't need karaoke or pool or darts to find this out.  I just need to see you walk in with READER'S.

  2. ya not digging the fact that you aren't honest with them. Instead of the guy knowing when to end the date it is ok for you to know when to end it. You may not go out with the guys on a second date but you never know when you could run into them later in life. They could later by at the same work place working there also and all they will remember is someone who was rude and lied. Good advice from the man. Be your true self.
