Met a somewhat decent seeming man on CL - in strictly platonic. He wasn't someone I'd be interested in dating, but whatever. I did not ask him age. Bad idea. He said he was in his second year of residency, so I assumed he was in my age range.

Well, I was the second to the restaurant and imagine my surprise when I see that not only does he NOT look like his picture, but that he is at LEAST 50 years old. So I stood there, horrified at having dinner with someone older than my father and really wanted to bolt.

And then -

My alarm company made the decision for me. They were gracious enough to call me on my cell phone to tell me my alarm was going off. Of course I had to go home.

Am I awful for ditching him? I mean, it wasn't my fault, but I hate to think what would have happened if my phone hadn't rang.

I know why - b/c its TOO easy to have an uncomfortable silence! At least if theres one in a restaraunt or something, you can look around, comment on something - what the heck do you do on the phone! lol
