Travelin’ Man
I was single and saw that online dating worked for some friends so I tried it via Yahoo. I wound up meeting this really nice guy. He was a pretty well-known guy in the computer world (wrote a few books, managed a software product, etc). So we met at a casual place and it went well, but it was really short. Then he called me from Boston and other states since he was often traveling. We talked for hours all the time. Then he wanted to meet me at a cafe, yet it was in his car. It was just for 10 minutes and nothing ever happened. We just talked.
Then he took me to lunch and said, “You know, I can tell you have all sorts of issues and you should go see someone.”
And he continued to enlighten me with all of my supposed issues. It was embarassing yet he drove so I had to sit there and take it. I told him to go screw himself. He called a few weeks later and apologized. He told me that to make it up, he would pick me up from the airport. I got back from my trip and he never showed. He emailed me and told me that his garage door was stuck and it was raining so he couldn’t come. I checked the weather and it wasn’t raining. So I told him to screw himself again.
He called me three weeks later at 5am from Greece supposedly (his caller ID said so) and said he was so sorry, that there were some things going and I flipped out telling him I bet he was married and how dare he play me. Why would someone only do car dates, quick meetings and blow you off at odd times? He was a real jerk.
