Yet another date... BLOG FODDER!!!!
We were supposed to meet at TGIFriday’s. He said that he wasn’t hungry and had eaten right before leaving for the restaurant... oooooof course ya did, Scooter. I explained that I didn’t care, I was eating.
We talked for some time and had a couple of beers. At around 11 he too announced that he was tired, paid A tab, gave me an awkward hug, and we walked out.
As I walked through the dark parking lot alone (because why would a guy walk me to my car in the middle of the night?) the bartender catches up to me....
Bartender: “Ma’am, I’m sorry, but he didn’t pay for your food or drinks.”
Me: “Wow! I’m so sorry, I obviously assumed that he had.”
Bartender: “No that’s totally understandable, but obviously he’s a dick.”
Me: “Obviously.”
Bartender: “If you’ll just wait a minute I’ll get your bill.”
Me: “Ok, again I’m sorry.”
Bartender: “No, I’m sorry you had a date with a jerk.”
There’s a group of college kids sitting outside. All of them begin to express their feelings on the douche bag and my embarrassment... which obviously helped my anger over the fact that it’s one thing if a guy doesn’t want to pay, but to actually let me walk out... you’re a douche.
When I got home I had an email... apologizing for leaving so abruptly... this was my response..
"yeah I was wondering about that... I was also thinking about how nice it was to walk myself to my car and get stopped by the bartender because I wrongly assumed that you had paid my tab since you let me walk out.. don't worry though, there was a nice group of college kids to feel sorry for me while I used their table to sign my bill"
