Wake up Call

Wake up Call

I must share with you one of my male friend’s dating experiences. Apparently this 31 year old beautiful blond who was a teacher, seemed to be the perfect package for my single friend. Even though it was their first date, he had decided to take her to dinner at a restaurant by the water. It seemed like a great idea since she was stunning with a stellar body. This woman looked and smelled lovely, and everyone stared as they entered the restaurant.

Before being seated she was adamant about sitting at a table close to the water. The table was about to be seated by another couple, which totally pissed her off. Instead of waiting for another table to open up, she headed in their direction yelling “excuse me that’s our table!” My friend was extremely embarrassed to say the least. I mean I can understand if you are on a waiting list for a specific table, but by assuming the table is yours because it’s open is a little presumptuous. Once they settled at a table he said to her, “let’s just chill, I’ve had a long day at work and I’m fine no matter where we sit”.  She flipped out and demanded an apology. I guess she felt a little threatened by his tone. My friend was confused as to why she was asking for an apology, so he stood his ground and refused.

By this point she already had ordered her gluten free pizza and a pitcher of Sangria. She was so angry that she never got the apology she was looking for that she stood up, grabbed her purse, and left the table not even saying goodbye. Other diners who were watching close by were pretty shocked by her behavior. The pizza for two arrived at the table and all my buddy could say was “pizza anyone?” Believe it or not, some diners actually passed by his table offering their sympathy. Although she was stunning in the beginning, in the end she ended up being a little crazy. In the future, he has decided that bike rides might be a better first date rather than expensive dinners that put a dent in his wallet.
