I'm in VA for exactly two nights and one day. The purpose of this trip is for me to pick up my dog from mom's home and fly back to So Cal. But, I also had a date planned for lunch today, the Friday, the 13th (cue Friday 13th music).
For the astute observer you will probably notice it's 1200, and I'm working on this blog. You may wonder why I'm sitting at Panera sucking down iced tea and getting ready to study for my FMF pin insteadof out at Mahi Mahs with the guy.
Well, things took an interesting turn two days ago. Against my better judgement, I called him to make arrangements for this date. I called at 6:30pm CA time (9:30pm east coast time), and he said (no, I'm not making this up), "I'm actually on a date right now...but she's in the bathroom so I can talk for a little bit."
I was stunned, but we talked a couple of minutes about the weather in VA vs. CA (what exactly was his date doing in the bathroom that long anyway?!). When she returned he told me to call him later (when he's not on a date) for our date on Friday.
Yeah, that's so not happening!
Ok, for the one or two guys reading this blog (and really, one is already married), here's some dating tips:
1. Most women get the fact that men should ask the lady out for a date. I can deal with that, but since we women have to play this game, you guys should not chicken out asking her, especially if you like her. If you like her, then ask. And, when you ask don't plays games with us and tell the lady to call you. If you are interested, then you should ask and make all the arrangements.
2. If your cell phone rings while on a date, unless it's your mother or your sister going into labor, then don't answer the phone because it might be the date you are supposed to go out with in a few days!
3. If you ignore #2 and answer the phone anyway, then don't tell the prospective date that you are already on a date...don't be a DUMB ASS!
You can send me a thank you card for these dating tips later. I'll suck this up for singles all over the world.
Sigh...I guess this call on the 11th saved me from having to blog about a Friday the 13th dating horror story.

Sunny,
I can add an even stronger rule: if you are eating at a restaurant, you shouldn't answer your cell phone, period! The only time I do is if it is chaplain-related and even then I'll leave the table to take the call (fortunately this hasn't happened to me much).
As for your loser ex-date. At least he was honest with you. He might be clueless, but at least he was honest. That said, I'm sure it would have made for an interesting blog!
i was going to rave on about what an idiot this guy is (and he is!!) but as i read what peter wrote...i have to agree! at least he was honest! probably saved you some heartache later down the road!!
AND! i agree about not answering your cell in a restaurant. if you MUST answer....leave the table!!!!
