I’m sure the girl was awful, nobody should be frank in the way she was, certainly not on a first date. She also came off as a gold-digger. But did anybody get a douchey vibe from the guy? @zomboid, I definitely didn’t think of the little mermaid, it just seemed sort of condescending. I spend way too much money eating out at pretty nice places, but it’s not like I grew up knowing about the different kinds of forks. It reminded me of another musical, my fair lady, where some rich asshole loves watching zany audrey hepburn or whatever. OP just reeks of condescension, but in this situation for the wrong reasons really.

MK – maybe the cutlery confusion reminded him endearingly of the little mermaid

While this woman was clearly a little crazy and this was surely an awful date, I’m having a problem with the fact that you thought it was “endearing” that she didn’t know which fork to use, or that you thought this was necessary information for your story.

guywhoknows… eh??

and RB — if your definition of “immature” is when a person politely rejects a crazy person then yes, the guy definitely was immature.

A master plan is such a bad idea. It keeps a person from seeing what’s going on around them. Maybe it will happen sooner; maybe it will happen later. Just sit back and enjoy the ride!

I am impressed that he asked her for more info instead of just trying to change the subject. Dating is crazy. Again, just sit back and enjoy the experience.

Rawr– who was I making assumptions about, except the female sex in general?

I wasn’t trying to be a smartass, just noting that K’s plan wasn’t intrinsically outlandish— her technique was.

I realize that the average Jane does want to get married and have children. The “grand master plan” part comes from saying “OH EM GEE THIS IS TOTALLY GOING TO BE ME AND FIVE YEARS AND YOU’RE TOTALLY GOING TO BE THE ONE WHO GIVES IT TO ME YOU HAVE NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER.” Don’t be a smartass and stop making assumptions about people.

K’s “grand master plan” isn’t very different than the average Jane’s grand master plan, I think: snag a good-looking good-provider, then commence having babies. K’s fatal mistake was her extraordinary frankness– like a hunter who makes too much noise and frightens off their intended prey.

(God knows it was never my master plan/ may not be yours; but you’ve gotta admit that it’s the fondest dream of a lot of women.)
