Half-ass date invites…
I am not a fan.
A guy I haven’t seen in a while chatted me up at church on Sunday. He was flirting, and then he says something to the effect of, “So, we should get together soon and catch up,” and I’m all, “Sure thing!” Then he throws out, “As long as you let me pay.”
Which leads me to believe that is a date invite in disguise. Right? I mean, I don’t mind going out with the guy. He’s sufficiently nice and attractive enough to go out on at least on date to see if there are any sparks. I like guys who are bold, and know what they are about, though. And he wussed on me, I think. Which makes me wonder how much I would actually like him, because I am of the mind that the guy I will fall for will have some balls.
I always felt the same, and oddly enough the one guy I finally fell for used to cry (a lot) when I first met him and I seriously recall thinking he was absolutely not for me because he would ball like a baby in front of me about some girl. Our hearts are weird things though. He grew on me I guess, I am back to the repulsed stage again though I think. I hope, since he is coming to town next weekend. This is no time for heartache.
But, as to your question, yes its sounds like a date. I’d say be open minded you never know who a guy really is, and yes I suppose that is good advice even though it has done me shitty in the past.
This is totally like this Seinfeld episode…know it? Jerry rightfully claims that a friend of Elaine’s has found a ‘dating loophole’, wherein he creates a date without possibility of rejection! This guy, in the show, had ‘bet’ with Elaine that Dustin Hoffman was in Star Wars, and offers that the winner has to buy the loser dinner. So, he loses (duh), and ‘has to’ take Elaine out to dinner, and so on and so forth…he keeps working it so that he doesn’t have to admit he’s actually ‘dating’ her, even trying to kiss her goodnight after a dinner he took her to wherein his parents also appeared, funnier than I’m making it sound. This guy at church pulled something similar, I’d say, hmmm….
