The "Hopeless Romantic" resurfaced the other day!!! By sending me spam (I was bcc'ed) with a link to "Z Day and the Zeitgeist Movie"! This guy is like a bad rash that just won't go away. Unbelievable that he would spam me more than eight months after I finally got rid of him. Even worse that he would send me something, not only dated but also with so much political and religious tones. It seems that this guy needs even more help than even I thought. Here's a list for you buddy - free of charge.
-Do not describe yourself as "hopeless" under any circumstances. No way to get out of that without looking like an ass.
-Do not EVER suggest to a woman under the age of 90 that she would be happier barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.
-Do not suggest that the second date be a mini-vacation. That just screams axe-murderer.
-Do not open the box labelled "Finished Business". Especially when that business was one "want-to-poke-my-eyes-out-cause-I'm-so-bored" date. That's four hours of my life I'm still bitter about not getting back.
-Do not spam anyone you are even remotely interested in (or anyone you haven't known for over two years) with political or religious emails/links/etc, regardless of how cool you may think it makes you sound. Hell, just don't spam people. Period.
Actually, while I'm on this dating rant...I have recently been dipping my toes (tentatively) back into the dating pool and man, it's even worse than I remember. The last three guys I've met have had some common themes. All are in their mid/late-30's. All hate their jobs or are in a time of "transition". ALL asked me if my company was hiring!!! None got second dates.
I guess I could add to my list. Here goes:
-Do not talk about things that depress you such as your job, life or family. Also, don't call me if you're that bloody unhappy with yourself in the first place! I'm not a freaking therapist and a coffee is not enough compensation to listen to you rant about your crap life. Get off your ass and do something about it instead of wasting my time.
-Do not ask me if EA is hiring. Do I look like a damn job board? If I had known I was going to be going to an interview instead of a date I wouldn't have put on heels. Jesus.
-Do not follow up a very boring dinner date with an email or text that includes any of the following words: eyes, smile, shines, stars or heaven. I will forward said email/text to friends and we will laugh our collective asses off. And no, you will STILL not get a second date. Dumbass.
