Asian Persuasion

Okay so. I’m not big on dating Asians, Spanish men, or black men. They always come across pretty aggressive and no offense to all that is the above, I just don’t find many of them physically attractive. I prefer a tall light glass of white boy douchbags apparently. BUT I do try to branch out sometimes. Well this was one of those times…a lil’ throwback to my time spent in the DMV area. Probably not as exciting or nightmarish as some of my other dates have been. But I wouldn’t have considered this a ‘good date’ so I’m putting it up here.

Alright so I lived in Virginia, this Pacific Ocean child lived in Maryland, it was about a 40 minute difference between us. So he suggests I drive out there and go to this ‘super fun bowling alley’ okay no big deal, I don’t mind. So I meet at his apartment…and pick him up? He has a car but like apparently it was just ‘easier’ to jump into mine. Lame ass. He’s like two inches shorter than me too so this is going well. Also, when I saw him I just said ‘why am I trying to expand my dating life into asians’ face palm.

So we go down the road to a bar that he’s a regular at I guess, because the bartenders knew him as soon as we got there. Had just one drink, small talked and then went to bowl. It’s tolerable so far, just no attraction. Now here is where we go from 1-100. We’re walking back to my car so I can now drive us to the bowling alley (lol) and he tells me.

‘You should look into a ticket to Hawaii for next month, should be enough time to get off of work’

‘I’m sorry what? I’m not going on vacation anytime soon’

’we’ll my grandmothers birthday is next month. Every year we throw a giant party for her at the restaurant they have down in Hawaii, so you should definitely come and be my date’

just so everyone is caught up, we just met less than an hour ago. So yeah that’s normal. Ask a stranger to an island to meet you’re entire family and be introduced as his ‘date’. I just laughed at him and said it wasn’t gonna happen but hope he has fun…  we get to the bowling place, it’s some fancy ass overly expensive place to bowl. Wow I’m so impressed -_- we bowled two games, but almost every time we switched turns or I sat down for him to go, he’s try to put his arm around my back or shoulders. Ugh awful, I just moved every time lol. Not sure if he ever got the hint tho because he DEFINITELY tried to hold my hand when we left. So now we’re  off to get dinner. I mean super expensive bowling alley I was expecting a nice dinner too? Or at least a decent dinner. SIKE. Spent all the money bowling so we went to nandos…sigh. If you don’t know what nandos is, neither did I before this. It’s basically a cheap chicken grab and go situation. Yes you can eat there but it’s not exactly a ‘restaurant’ situation. So I pay for the amazing food and we sat down and ate it there. Just trying to get through the meal, we make small talk here and there. He wanted to go walk around the lake, which is what was bordering the area and tells me he has to walk to target and get a candle??? Whattt. Yeah so I’m not here to like do your weird candle shopping with you. I tell him I have to go home to my dog…so we head back to his apartment so I can ditch him. Tells me he’s just had such a great time. I really think these guys just say this because of how I look, because I’m really not giving too much effort personality wise where it would make it seem like I’m just having a blast. Drop him off, I start my drive home and he’s texting me the entire time. He’s sending me photos of Hawaiian shirts he thinks he should buy and options he should buy ME. I thought we established that was never going to happen. Sigh. Well I let this one trickle out, short responses and such. Eventually he got the hint and it fizzled away.
