Another fun dating story for the blogs! This one, not so much bat-shit crazy as it is funny. To the point where it got really annoying. It's a long one, so I'll break it up into parts for the ADD kid in you. And, so we begin ...
I met this cougar (I know, it's a guy, but whatever), or as I like to call him, "Old Flakey Guy aka OFG" last September. Yet, another dating site was I on when this guy sends me a message responding to a date idea I had put up on my profile. At the time, he was 42 and to me, that seemed a little out of my dating range, but we messaged anyway.
Upon seeing his picture, I instantly knew that I was not attracted to him and that this would only amount to a friendship, if even that. For now, e-pals worked just fine. And, by just fine, I mean that I had no intention of meeting him in person. Well, right after messaging a few times, he gives me his number and practically pleads for me to call him. In his messages, he tried to portray himself as this humble and only willing to please type of guy. While, I thought he was a nice guy, as the messages went on, I started to feel he was only show-boating to win me over.
For example, when we had started texting, he would tell me about this girl or that girl whom had been bugging him all night, asking when they'll see each other again and how much she was in love with him. He'd even send me pictures of these women and forward me weird text messages he received from them. HELLO? I don't want to know this shit! And, I'd tell Ofg to go after this one or that one since they were so obviously into him. They were pretty and SO in love with him and it boggled my mind why he'd even bring these girls up. To make me jealous? Or fall for him? But, even before all of his show-boating started, the film festival was running its course at Dole and I had a few tickets for movies I had picked out.
Through the "getting to know you" process, movies and films had come up and I mentioned I'd be attending the film festival over the first weekend. He asked to "tag along" to my first movie. It was a Japanese romantic comedy and I was going by myself, so I figured, why not. So, on my way to Dole the next day, I get a text from him saying he can't make it because he's got to spend time with his bratty daughter (I'm not being mean, he spoils the crap out of her). I thought nothing of it as I had wanted to go on my own anyway.
The NEXT weekend, he asks if I need company to any films that I would be seeing at the festival. Again, I think, sure. I'll give this guy another chance. So, I give him the time of the film and tell him where to meet. But, I guess I should have known better since it was Saturday, again and his daughter wanted her dad day then instead of Sunday. That was fine, but, I did start teasing him and calling him a flake. He didn't like that ... so, we texted a little more, but it wasn't long until I thought to just let this go.
So, we stopped texting ... but, it doesn't end there. ...
