The Best of the Worst Dates (and hopefully the last)

Thus said the text message of Z, this guy I used to go out with whenever I was extremely bored and in need of a quick ego fix. Such a profound, sincere, and engaging message after half a year of absence from the face of my pink and perky world. My eyes brimmed with tears, and I stiffled a big yawn. I switched my brain to its Norton Anti-Virus mode and did a quick scan.

Three threats were found.

Mr. Obviously Aint Over 

When: 3 years ago
Where: by the Manila Bay
Duration: 3 hours
Role I assumed: Dr. Phil

Oh yeah. Could never forget this one. By the end of the date I knew everything about the ex - dress size, favorites, virtues, vices (he caught an STD from her so gee thanks, it was very thoughtful of him to inform me) and all that jazz. I felt for him though, so I gave him my sincerest thoughts and opinions the way I would with my closest friends. At one point Mr. OAO started crying, complete with matching hands-over-face pose. I quickly downed my third Margarita then. 

Mr. Houdini (extremely ODD, but rich and good looking)
When: 2 years ago
Where: some ice cream parlor
Duration: 2 hours
Role I assumed: date from hell

Ok, I went on this one as per my room mate's insistence -
"It's free food. Just do your thing and charm him. The mall is about to close anyway." Great. Houdini was some sort of directionless chap, so I had to cross to the other side of the road. Oh it was raining hard that night too. His welcome words as I entered his car, "Wow, you'd definitely win any wet t-shirt contest." His comeuppance: I spent the entire night raving about this huge crush I've got on one of my girls' guys. On and on and on and on I went 'til he drove me back home. Good thing I immediately dashed out of the car as he was about to lean over for a kiss. 

Mr. Sales Pitch of the Year
When: memory gap hits
Where: grill restaurant
Duration: memory gap hits again
Role I assumed: audience, he took care of everything

Aside from all the smoke, my eyes dried out from the thrill of our conversation. After doing a background check on me, he began a tirade on all the women he dated who came from my highschool. Models, celebrities, chefs... I was already in deep conversation with my grilled pork chop. He really had a great time though, considering he promptly followed-up within the procedural three-day timeframe, and asked me out again - twice. 



Recommended action ---> fix

Processing 3 threats....

There are no more security risks to be resolved.









4 mouth offs:

He was still in his breakdown phase. I could've charged him, but that would've been too harsh.
