Save More. Date Worse.
Last year, I was going through a really bad separation so I wanted to get my mind off things and meet someone. I met a cute guy online, but he lived about two hours away. I decided I would go meet him. He told me to meet him at the Walmart next to his house. So I drove two hours in the snow to meet this guy.
We found each other in the crowded parking lot. I got in his car…. and that was it. The only thing he had planned was to hang out in his car in the Walmart parking lot. I didn’t know the area at all, so I couldn’t suggest anywhere to go. I tried to urge him to go somewhere else, do something else by telling him I was hungry. Instead of finding a McDonalds at the very least, he ran inside Walmart and grabbed some chips and beer.
After about an hour of sitting, listening to him talk about how he just installed a new stereo, I told him I had to go to the bathroom. I got out the car and was going to make a run for mine and get out of there, but he followed me! So, I went to the bathroom and hung out in there for a really long time hoping he would get the hint. He didn’t, he was still standing outside the bathroom when I came out. While we were walking out I told him that I was sorry, but I couldn’t continue with the date anymore. I turned and literally ran to my car. That was my lesson to never meet someone online.
