[Dating Papers]

I went through the usual route with this new guy. We IMed on Jdate, then we IMed on aol, and then we spoke on the phone. He seemed like a nice enough guy so I decided to meet him at Starbucks. I get to Starbucks and I’m looking around and I can’t find him. Then this guy with really bad skin (who has a face full of pimples at 30?) walks up to me. He looked nothing like his pic. He went up to the counter and ordered his drink and then went and got a table. It was obvious to me that he had no intention of paying for my drink so I ordered a drink for myself and I paid for it. During the date he said just great things like “wow I haven’t seen a Jiffy Lube in years” because there is one right across from the Starbucks in my town. Then he proceeded to ask me why I chose a career that makes little money and then he picked up the newspaper and started reading. Who reads the newspaper in the middle of the date? I also took note that his hands were visibly dirty with ink stains. He told me he hasn’t had a date in about 7 months. I can understand why. I drank my tea so fast that I scalded my mouth. This was yet another Jdate that lasted under an hour.
