Freaks: Lucky # 7
Just call me the freak finder...
Last night I went on a date with a rather unusual guy. I would say it goes down in my personal history as one of the weirdest dates ever. Ok, so his stats are a little off, but don't scream crazy. He even looked cute in his pics. For a match profile he seemed pretty normal. I'm here to tell you otherwise...
Mummies, tombs of the pharaohs and embalming...sexy right? Well this is what our first date consisted of, so now ask yourself if you are surprised he turned out to be a freak. I do commend him on trying to pick a "creative" first date, but being a museum, where you have to read a ton of signs and be somewhat quiet doesn't really lend its self well to getting to know someone.
He took me to the King Tut exhibit in times sq for our first date (and definitely our last) and by "took me" I mean I paid for my own ticket to the museum. Already off to a great start...
Upon first impression, I must say...I wasn't impressed. Yet another post-college guy who thinks looking nice consists of an oversized button down and gross jeans, but hey...he complimented me on my outfit and said I looked nice, so extra points there!
HOWEVER, there is one small, tiny detail that surprised me when we met up and I'm a little embarrassed to say it bothered me... HE HAD A LAZY EYE. Ok...so now that I said that and I am going to hell, (who's bringing the drinks?) I wasn't sure how to react. I wasn't sure where to look when we talked or what was really going on there. Also, you couldn't tell from any of his pictures he had this going on...what is a girl to do?
Random tidbits from last night:
-He asked me, "Of all the ethnicities in this wonderful world, which one produces your favorite food?" I kid you not... Who says that? Why not, what is your favorite food?
-He didn't know what Glee, Modern Family or Community were. Who ARE YOU? How do you not know what these shows are? You don't have to watch them, but have a general understanding of what everyone is talking about when they reference Gleeks or any current tv shows.
-He must have asked me the same thing 2-3 times over the course of 3 hours. Seriously. It was like groundhog's day in date form. At dinner he asked me about my job and the type of events I went to...I mentioned a party I went to the previous week and explained about it etc. 30 minutes later he asked me what my most recent event was and what they are like...UMMM hi? It was like being on a date with someone who has anterograde amnesia. He couldn't remember 1 thing I told him.
-When the waitress asked what I wanted to drink, I said "Water for now" and Marc said, "We won't be drinking, thanks though" UMM excuse me? Have you been observing this date? Drinks were necessary, and would have eased my pain.
-I paid for not only my King Tut ticket, but also my half of dinner. Basically I paid $60 to meet NYC's weirdest single man. Awesome.
Nothing is more fun than looking at 3,000 year old corpses on a first date!
At the end of the night, he told me he had a wonderful time and would like to take me out again. He said he would text me today (and he did) asking me out again. I'm not sure what plant this kid was from, but no normal person would think this date went well. I politely declined.
No offense, but between the not offering to pay, the weird eye thing, lack of pop culture info and amnesiac tendencies, I'm going to pass...and say THIS is why you are single...and pretty freaky.
