You can tell alot about a potential date by the type of establishment that you agree to meet. I know that may sound a little like the obvious but it is a really important way of judging someones potential dateability( see my previous comment about the RSL) and suitability.
Last date was kind spontaneous. Had been texting back and forth with this guy for over a month..and was still hearing from him. Finally managed to find some time on Thursday night so we agreed to meet-he suggested the location, which I like - a decisive man is always a plus.
I was running late and it was a cold night, and my date was waiting so patiently for me out the front of the now super busy bar/eatery on Crown St. so we had to find somewhere else..too noisy to chat really.
So off we went to Pizza e Birra further down Crown St. Great food, great wine, great company.
Finally someone with a great personaltiy opnionated and passionate about life.

The date that never happened
I am sure there are many genuine and cool guys out there, but this is not one of them..
AND I HOPE YOU ARE READING THIS
Met this guy on Speeddate.com. I have been trying out a few different websites( that is content for another post) and I singed up for this one. Tool my profile down rather quickly after being pinged incessantly by strange characters. No real quality on this site. Very bad search functions that dont remember settings etc, so it kept sending me matches from Townsville etc..
So P.A and I chatted for a bit, kinda hit it off in cyberpsace, thought there was a decent amount of chemistry there, sight unseen of course. And the messages came in thick and fast, dear guy felt it necessary to ping me a message first thing in the morning and wanted to chat often. Oh how sweet and nice. Interesting, witty, intelligent etc etc...
Suggested we meet on Saturday.....
Added him on facebook...chatted on the phone....
POOFFFF..he disappears offline. Never contacts me again.
Now Im not Giselle Bundchen but maybe that is what he is expecting and maybe that when he jumped onto my facbook page he dsicvered shock horror that I am a realy person, with good and bad days. How would I know anyway, that is all I can assume and it is an assumption since I have nothing else to go on.
I can only assume that you, yes you..are a shallow soulless mug with no balls.
I could kinda get it if you were really spectacular, or even a little hot but hun, you are not Leonardo DeCaprio.. Really, honestly. Im not kidding.
The alternative is that he found me so wonderful and spectacular a human being that he felt I was truly out of his league and that he was truly woefully boring and would never be good enough for me.
That'll do..

When is a date not a date??
Not sure if this really falls into the date category...
Ex bf calls and wants to catch up.
Now, he had never really taken me on a date, except for the time I had asked him to take me out, and then it was to the local RSL, where I saved an old lady who was choking on the cheap and nasty buffet..come to think of it, I think I actually paid for that date too??
So he calls me and wants to catch up. I think to myself, I wonder if he is actually going to take me anywhere, does he actually have a plan for a date, I wonder...I dont expect him to as he never thought it really necessary while we were in a relationship.
He has been calling me alot lately and I do keep giving him the flick, so this is a last ditch attempt to find out where he is at and give him a chance to prove himself...
Well, he proved himself a total dick. Comes over, sits on my bed, and tells me he has no plan to take me out. Wants to chat..urghh. After much cajoling and pushing, he finally gets to the point. He wants to see if we can get back together. Are you kidding?? This is a man so cheap, so utterly stingy, so stingy with his time and emotions.
After being told numerous times that he didnt love me, what the hell was he expecting me to say. It just screams rud arrogant self centered shit head. He doesnt even deserve the time of day.
He has nothing to give me, he cant even tell me what he's been up to. When I ask, he is so vague that I am suspicious of what he's been doing. The real truth is that he is so boring that he really doesnt do a whole lot of anything except waste time.
I think he may be mentally challenged in some way. What does that say about me...maybe Im mentally challenged for even considering dating this nobody.
Urggh so stupid.

Taxi driver/Philosophy Student
Another classic loser date!
This gentelman sent several very sweet text messages..wishing me a happy birthday included. How lovely.
We agreed to meet at a cafe nearby Uni before class. Oooh I thought to myself, maybe he is a lecturer or professor. Someone well travelled, educated and interesting. Great. Could be a good one.
Turned up at agreed spot and I could tell the sucker was as nervous as hell..sweat dripping down his bald head and into the coffee cup so I attempted to ease his nervousnes and engaged in delightful witty conversation about music, travel, scuba and many others.
But here comes the crunch..he is not actually working at the uni and is in fact a philophosy student, undergrad, and supporting himself by driving a taxi on the weekend as his wife had cleaned him out when then got divorced...What a great catch!
Sent my phone number, and a text message. Heard nothing back. for a few days. Sent an email to find out what was going on, and got the following.
" Actually, after some thought, I really dont thinkwe have any chemistry"..
Huh?? Confused. A loser unemployed taxi driver philosphy student with no prospects is gving me the flick??
Again rejected by someone I didnt even like.
This is increasingly bad for my self esteem.

Creepy Indian Guy
Creepy Indian Guy called me after meeting on a certain fishy dating site.
He was keen to meet and wehn I told him that I was going to be a dance class with my 17 yr old daughter on the evening he wanted to me he suggested that he meet me at the dance class, that it was a really great idea and then we could go out afterwards. I should have listened to my inner alarm bells !
He met at the dance studio as agreed and I really didnt feel that attracted to him, he was pretty geeky and awkward and had the charm of flea. But I thought I would stick it out a bit and find out more about hinm, while my daughter finsihed her class.
She came over and was polite and said hi and then I declined his offer to go for drinks. And we went our separate ways.
He sent me a text sometime later saying that he thought we didnt have any chemistry. I am always amiss to understand exactly what that means so he explained that he thought I was into him. I left it there.
Some moments later I was astonished to received the following text:
"Just a thought and I say it with all due repsect, would love to go dancing with your daughter if she was interested and if you think it is ok"..
Well well, what do you think I said to him then?
" Here's a thought..no fucking way you creep".
Unbelievable.

The Toad
Im a pretty open minded sort of person and dont like to judge people on appearances, so when Mr Toad sent me a pic and asked me for a date, I was understandbly hesitant when he told me he was 5/5 and had tatts all over his arms. Ok, he could be a nice guy and be really entertaining.
Met at Fox Studios for a drink after sending him a photo of myself makeup free in a bathing suit at Manly Beach on Australia Day.
Turned up to meet him and ordered a drink and no sooner had we sat down, he started to tell me all about his dog..in fact the whole conversation revolved around his dog.
Suddenly he recives urgent text message from neighbour saying that his beloved pooch was pooping bloody diaorrhea .. oh dear! So off he runs to save his doggie, promising to arrange another time to meet.
Never heard from him again, didnt finish my drink either..what a tool! The disturbing thing is that I got rejected by someone I didnt even like. God how tragic..
