Get Out of My Dreams, Get of Out of My Car

blue-jeans

I met quite a cute girl while bar tending in a busy, popular bar in Northern England. She was extremely cute actually (jet black hair, blue eyes, great body) and seemed to have a pretty good personality, an impression I got based on the 15 minutes or so that we talked. I asked her out and we agreed to meet the following evening, a Sunday, to pick her up at 7p.m. She did, however, have one strange stipulation. She told me not come to the door, but just wait in the car.

Her cuteness made me adhere to this rule. However, by 7.30 p.m., I began to get a little impatient, and I could see her parents looking at me strangely as I sat outside their house. The hell with it, I thought, and went to the door. I sat and talked to her mom for 20 more minutes, until she eventually came downstairs.

“I thought I told you to wait outside?” she asked angrily, which surprised me.

She looked phenomenal in her tight blue jeans and fitted black shirt so I decided to try to ignore it. We got in the car and left. Five minutes down the road, after some awkward conversation (I was still mad about waiting and being reprimanded), she told me that we had to go back.

“I forgot my lipstick,” she said.

So we went back.  Three minutes into the second attempt at leaving, we had to go back for something else. I believe it was a comb. Unbelievably, 30 seconds into the third attempt at a night out, she opened her mouth and showed the first sign of humility, saying, “I forgot something else. We have to go back. I have the memory of a goldfish.”

Unfortunately, I had had it, and without thinking said, “You have the face of a goddamned goldfish, too.”

She got right out of the car and I drove off. Never saw her again.

I wonder if her version of this story is on this site somewhere?

Do you know how to make “The Abba”?

Apparently he posted this just so he could humiliate himself further. What a moron.

While not exactly the most mature response, I understand the frustration. She sounds like a pain.

Can you say “High Maintenance”?!? Yeesh!

Good looks can never compensate for insufferable behavior. Sounds to me as though the insult you paid to her was richly deserved.

At least the date was short!

Francois – exactly which part reflected badly on him? Certainly most of us have gone out with someone on a whim. Why does her bad behavior reflect poorly on him? Poor dear, you sound terribly co-dependent.

Lisa, agreed here. She’s probably used to getting away with ANYthing because of her looks. If you go around treating people like that, one day you’re gonna catch it in the butt. Fancy making him wait till almost an hour past their agreed time then getting snarky about it..!

Cranial-rectal impaction, that one.

Eightball exactly. Women like her are so spoiled by men; and he did admit he gave her the benefit of the doubt because she looked hot. However, she is obviously a manipulator and all dates would probably end up being like that. No one is worth that aggravation because of their looks! good riddance honey.

Sounds like she was just testing your boundaries, be glad you ditched her when you did.

What odd behavior. I wonder why she thought it was acceptable to have you wait outside for what would have been close to an hour had you not come inside. And why, if she took an extra 50 minutes to get ready, she still didn’t have everything she needed. She might have been nice, but if this memory lapsing is part of her personality, she probably would have driven you up the wall.

Really though, the behavior is just plain odd.

Thanks for the backup – yeah, not sure why I am a moron, although I do admit it was a little immature to say what I did (12 years ago at this point, grown up a lot in the meantime.) However, if I hadn’t said that, I wonder what I would have had to put up with during the rest of the night…
