The way of finding the right match is full of disappointments. Some people find the right one easily and effortlessly, while others need to invest a lot of time and effort. I know some people who were professional blind daters. They were registered on almost all the well known dating sites. They went on blind dates all the time.
A friend of mine desperately wanted to be in a relationship. He wished to get married and have children. He spent most of his spare time on dating sites, chatting with women online or going on blind dates. He had a goal and was willing to do whatever it took to achieve it. Sometimes he drove for two hours for a date that occasionally lasted only half an hour.
He was a great guy with a big heart and was very sensitive too. But sometimes he was a little naive. I used to tell him he needs to take a break from time to time. I thought that chasing the right match so intensively did not do him any good. He had high expectations which led to many disappointments on his part.
One day he told me he was chatting online with a woman for more than a week, and they spoke on the phone as well. He said they really liked each other, and had a lot in common. Usually he met the woman shortly after they chatted online. But this time he was more cautious. He was excited to meet her and was sure she was the one.
The day before his date, he bought some new clothes. He told me they were meeting in a restaurant which I thought was very expensive. But she chose it and he didn’t want to disappoint her. On the day of the date, he bought her a beautiful bouquet and couldn’t wait to give it to her. He was excited like a little boy. Since my friend and I were involved in the entire process, we asked to be updated after his date.
The next day we waited to hear from him about the exciting evening he had. Although our curiosity was overflowing, we decided to leave him alone and wait patiently. As time went by and we didn’t hear from him, we speculated; maybe he was kidnapped by her…. 🙂 Or maybe the date was so incredible, that they decided to run away to Las Vegas and get married….. 🙂 Then our dream to be the maid of honor would vanish…… 🙂 The fact is we were a bit concerned, as he was very open with us and even if his date didn’t go well, he always told us about it. He knew we would never judge him.
After a long wait we tried contacting him several times, but without any luck. When he finally answered the phone, I said “Hallelujah, where have you been?” He said he had a headache. We were sure his headache was the result of his celebrating all night. So we joked around with him and said “Oh, OK, in that case we will not demand sex tonight”…… 🙂
We soon realized he wasn’t in the mood to hear our amusing comments. Anyway, when I said we would like to come over, he answered ” I want you to know I’m not good company tonight,” We went anyway. When he opened the door for us, he looked like he was hit by a truck. We immediately asked him to spit it out and so he did.
He said he arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes early and she made him wait another half an hour. When she arrived, he walked towards her to greet her. He thought she is a very attractive woman. He put his hand out to shake hers, but she ignored it which surprised him. He led her to the table and when they sat down he gave her the flowers and she said “Oh, nice….”
He noticed she was barely looking at him. He thought she was uncomfortable because it was the first date. He tried to break the ice and asked if she wanted something to eat or drink. She said she was starving and would like to eat something. Suddenly he realized she had been texting someone since she arrived at the restaurant. When the waitress brought the menus she put them on the table and said she would be back shortly to take their order.
