Someone needs to go back to school

The other day I had down time at work and decided to read all the emails that slipped thru the cracks while I emailed people I was attracted to physically.  THIS is one of the replies I got:

"Hey i just joined this site the other day not to continue to type i hate computer this aint no (computer love)its a song lol, if we hit it off i leave u my number maybe so where abouts in jers, do u live and dig ur profile, leaving me that ur down to have fun, and no games, and blunt, thats cool with me, ps dont mind the pic only got one update it soon"

I guess some people don't give a shit about first impressions.

Go back to school, kiddo!

Yet another douche

A week and a half ago (around 6pm), on a rainy gloomy day, I went on a date with a guy that physically was not my type. No, he was not ugly. Just not my type. I said yes to a date because I figured I had nothing to lose. All I expected to get out of the date was conversation and a buzz.

Well, the date went well. No weirdness. Pretty comfortable. A few laughs. He seemed grounded. Overall... Good times.

At the end of the date, he walks me to the bus station so I can get my tipsy ass back to Jersey and as I'm about to walk away he stops me and asks for a second date. Yes my dears... He asked for a second date at the end of our first. I was surprised since this never happened to me before (to my recollection). We picked Monday - same time.

Monday 8:45pm
J: Just got home from work trip. How are you?

My thoughts? This asshole is texting me almost 3 hours after we were supposed to meet and has totally disregarded the fact that... well... we didn't meet! I was seeing red due to this, so I decided to not text back till I chilled.

Tuesday 4:51pm
S: I'm good. Thought we had a date yesterday. Just saying.
J: We did, was supposed to be done. Should have called.
S: Yah. A call or a text would have been appreciated.
J: Apologies. All i can say. Work trip during the day, flight didn't land till i texted.

Ok so now, not only do I know that he didn't "forget" about our date, but on top of that, I am certain that he decided to act like nothing happened. This douche's behavior proves to me that he has no respect for me, nor values or has any consideration for my time.

IF this whole "work trip" is actually true, wouldn't texting before boarding the plane and saying "sorry i can't make it" be the considerate thing to do? Or if that totally slipped your mind, then, how about "I'm sorry about tonight. I was out of town on business and totally slipped my mind. Let me make it up to you. Yes?" Sometimes just acknowledging the fact that you FUCKED UP, could "alleviate" the fact that you FUCKED UP.

JOSEPH PATRICK!!!!
I hope you encounter a crazy woman and makes you pay for all of us you didn't give a shit about (cause I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one you treated this way). Your ex-wife was a smart woman. I should stick to my dating rule #6586935453 "DO NOT GO ON A DATE WITH A DIVORCED MAN".

Boy I have to stop listening to my friends.
