Blind "date/meeting"

So my best friend set me up to meet her landlords friend last night. It wasn't a date, it was just a meeting, the 4 of us, to see what we both thought of each other.


My friend is a talker which makes it easier if there are any uncomfortable silences. I noticed this guy was making this hand gesture quite a bit when she was talking. 3 fingers up, then he'd drop his wrist and his 3 fingers went to the side. He did this over and over. She asked him what that meant. He said it was a nicer version of the bird, and he stuck up his middle finger. He said it means "What-Everrrrrrrrrr"


(3 fingers up in the "W" and 3 fingers to the side is the "E") What is he? 7 years old?


My friend laughed and laughed. This guy did it all the time throughout the 2 hours I was there. My friends landlord told this guy to ask me for my number and the guy looked at me and said, "Give it to me!" So I did. When I left he walked me to my car. I gave it an hour and a half and called my friend. My friend said that he thought I was too tall for him and would like to be just friends. I told her to forget it, I want more than that. (not with him though) Plus I don't think I could handle being around someone that hand gestures "Whatever" to anything I'm talking about. This guy was in his late 40's or early 50's too. How childish.


It just cracks me up that his excuse for not wanting to go out with me is because he thinks I'm too tall. I'm 5'8".


What-everrrrrrrrrr!!!!! LOL

Wow. Stories like this one explain why so many great women are still single.

He's really in his 50s? I'm shocked at that.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

You have to understand men are like fine wine. They mature and only get better with age, tapering off around 90. For example Anna Nicole's late husband at the time of his passing, was at his peak, at the zenith. Men don't get any better than that. No wonder Anna was so broken.



Shakespeare on the other hand was less kind about women:



For women are like flowers. Their beauty once expressed, doth fall that very hour...

Wow - he sounded like a winner! LOL


Can't understand why he's still dating? I personally love a man who has dexterity with his fingers.

So even though you thought he was immature and did not want to be friends or more you still gave him your phone number?


I am confused.

I know. I thought about that too but I didn't "see" the details until later when I had time to think about it all. And also, his friend and my girlfriend were sitting right there and I just thought, just go ahead and give it to him and deal with it later. I didn't want to come across as rude when the guys bought everything and refused to let us girls buy a round....... and say 'No I'd rather not give you my number".
