I  met a guy on an on-line dating site, we seemed to hit it off between email and Instant Message decided to go out to dinner for our first date. When he arrived to pick me up he didn’t look at all like his photo (which is what I hear a lot from people who have met someone off-line). But I was already in the car so what could have I done? He took me to a nice outdoor Tai restaurant and since it was a gorgeous night I thought that the night might not end up to be too bad. We chatted and before long he was already asking me when he could see me again. I found this to be a little forward since we hadn’t even received our appetizer yet, but sometimes guys are just like that. I told him that I wasn’t sure and we would see how the night went. He truly seemed fine with my answer and didn’t press the rest of the time.

After dinner he wanted to go somewhere else to have a few drinks, since the night was still young I agreed and off we went. We got to another restaurant around 9pm and each ordered a drink. The conversation was going along fine when he excused himself to go to the bathroom. For some reason I got a weird feeling like he was going to leave me there. About 5 minutes go by and he texts me with “So you better get a call on that cab-I just left you!”. Slightly confused I texted back with “why?”. He replied with “I could tell that you weren’t into me at dinner, and I had to teach you a lesson not to use people for free dinner!”. I was surprised by his accusation, the dinner was fine, I was not attracted to him but I wasn’t rude or bitchy either. After that he texted me a few more times with some choice words for me. I guess some girl must have done a number on him!

One text stated that he was in the CIA and he read people for a living and how dare me try to trick him. From personal experience with government jobs and especially the CIA I know for a fact that if you are actually in the CIA- you don’t tell people! So after that I knew that he was a bit off his rocker and I didn’t want anything to do with him anyway. I promptly called my roommate to pick me up- I would never take a taxi home after a jerk left me.

Go figure, in his profile for the dating site he said that the qualities he was looking for in a woman included someone who didn’t play games, was intelligent and respectful.

Respectful? You only get respect if you give it, and he was obviously not respectful! I have been on some bad dates before but I would never leave someone without transportation home. I did however crawl out of a bathroom window on a bad date before but that is another story.
