date update

i went on a date this week with a lawyer/car racer from yahoo. unfortunately i disappointed him. (can that be possible?!) i guess the fact that i had shorter hair than my picture or perhaps looked different upset him. i can understand that to some extent. however, the picture i have posted was taken only last year so it's not intentional deception. besides i asked one of my guy friends if guys would care about hair being shorter & he said no. guess he was wrong. time to fire my hairdresser (who screwed up my hair in the first place!)

anyhow, i had a nice talk with him over dinner, but it was regretful. i was checking off things like on a list & that's just not good. hopefully he won't read this! anyhow, he was a veggie, which oddly enough, i objected to! perhaps because the minute i ordered salmon he got this look on his face. dammit if you want to date a veggie, ask before hand!

then there were some other turnoffs, like the discussion about the sodium content in veggie meat being 90% of your daily requirement for sodium. who the hell cares. gees.

so mr. lawyer/racer is going to continue to be very single until he stops fantisizing about life as he wishes it were & accepts how it is. which leads me to wondering if i should update my picture after all. who knows. who cares.

on the good side, he looked much better than his picture and he had a cute smile which he rarely displayed. and he was a good conversationalist. about himself. if i didn't say something there was dead silence. the only question he asked me all night was "what do you do?" which he already knew. oh, and the other thing? he was complaining about how hard it was to be a man & conform to the cigar-smoking, scotch-drinking, strip-club-visiting, golf-playing requirements of manhood.

his parting comments to me? in fitting with his anti-masculine sentiments. he says..."so you have my e-mail address. e-mail me and we'll do dinner again sometime."
