Have you ever had an amazing date (or what you thought was an amazing date) and then don't hear from the person? I think everyone has encountered this at least once (if not multiple times). I know I have. And most of us dwell on the situation. What went wrong? Why isn't he calling? Maybe he's just really busy? I know I've wished guys would just be straight up with me and tell me they're not interested instead of me playing a guessing game and my self-esteem getting a kick in the ass. However, what if someone was straight up honest with you? Maybe sometimes it's better not knowing why someone didn't call after your date.
On my drive to work this morning, I was listening to a morning radio show. Now, I rarely listen to it since the infamous Eddie and JoBo got canned (again...*tear*), but I'll turn it on every now and then. I'm not sure if this is a regular segment on the show, but this guy called in because he went on a date with this chick a couple days ago and has been trying to call her since, but no answer or call backs. The guy and the morning show hosts call the girl and she picked up. At first the morning show hosts didn't say anything. Basically, the guy calls the girl while she's at work and he asks how she's been. She sounds extremely flustered. She apologizes and said she's been busy and her work schedule has changed. After a few moments of her feeling uncomfortable, the morning show hosts jump in. Needless to say, they get her to say why she hasn't called. Here are a few bullet points of her date and what not to do in the future!
- The two went to Applebees and the guy "swayed" her into ordering from the 2 for $20 menu. Now, I'm not knocking the 2 for $20 menu. I understand the economy sucks and most of us are on budgets. However, I do not think you should ever "sway" or make someone order from a specific menu...especially on a first date!!!
- He left a tip that was less than 10%. If you received poor service, I can maybe understand that. I have never been a waitress or had an occupation where a majority of my income comes from tips, but waiters and waitresses depend on those tips to get by! If anything, I would think someone would over tip to try and show off on a first date!
- The girl did compliment him on that he was cute. The guy proceeded to ask, "Well, if you thought I was cute and I thought you were cute, why didn't you kiss me if we're both attracted to each other?" Apparently, on the date she said she doesn't kiss on the first date. On the radio she went on to say his breath smelled. If you're going to try and kiss someone, make sure you have a mint or gum! And to make things worse, she didn't describe his breath as "bad" or "smelly" she described it as pungent!
So question is: Would you rather know or not know the real reason someone is blowing/blew you off?
