Good afternoon! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. In my hometown the weather was glorious and I had a busy weekend with 3 of my dearest friends. As the weekend wrapped up I had a "phone date" with a Match.com guy - we'll call him "J". Here's the story...
J called me at 8pm to chat. Last time we talked I had a really hard time hearing the guy...so I wasn't 100% sure this call would be better. Thankfully, on my cell phone, he was coming in slightly louder...but he was still into mumbling. So we talk to 40 minutes about this and that...then we discuss getting together for a real date.
He wants to come up to my neck of the woods (which is nice of him) - but he keeps asking where we can find a jazz club. I tell him, there aren't any that I know of...but there are some cute restaurants we can check out. After some back and forth we decide on a restaurant and a date / time. We say our goodbyes and hang up.
Now, at this point I'm moving on to laundry and a little L&O: SVU on my DVR. (Love that Elliot Stabler!) Within 5 minutes J is calling me back. I'm confused, but answer and he says something like,
"I don't think this is gonna work. It seems we are in different socioeconomic situations."
I say, "How do you mean?"
J: "We're in different socioeconomic situations. I don't know, it seems like you like expensive things."
At this point, I'm thinking "seriously"? I just got dumped before a date?? And where is he getting this vibe?? But then again, if J doesn't understand that I am a woman with ambition who can buy her own expensive things, then he's probably not the guy for me.
The moral: I will NOT dumb myself down or stop living my life just so I can snag a man. The man who's worth it will love me...expensive taste and all. Especially if I'm the one buying!
