It’s quite a boring story, but you asked for it, so here it is. This will reveal a mini psycho in me, but like aren’t all women a little psycho?
I met Kevin through a plus size dating app. His profile said, “if you can make me laugh chances are you are right up my alley.” Well this is going to be easy, I thought; I’ve been practicing humor since I was a child (fat girl defense mechanism).
I messaged him with, “I’d hit that.” He replied. Score. We exchanged a couple of messages and he told me he wanted to take me out for a drink. I gave him my number but did not receive a text, so I messaged him, “my number isn’t going to text itself :).” He texted me. Score. (I like getting real phone numbers because it helps with my detective work and I feel like it legitimizes the date.)
Since I broke my foot, we decided to meet at a bar near my apartment. It was a bit crowded and I kindly yet aggressively asked a wait staff for a table. Mistake #1?
We each ordered a glass of rose. Conversation was a bit of a Q&A session. He was so awkwardly dorky and I loved it. He also plays basketball–so I instantly fell in love. (Something about a man knowing how to dribble a ball really turns me on. I don’t know why. Perhaps the swag and movement of basketball players or that their hands are big enough to handle the ball which is the same size as one of my butt cheeks.)
The waitress hands us the check, but he didn’t grab it so I did. Awkward. It was $20, I awkwardly asked if he wanted to split it, he said sure. He was fumbling to find his credit card in front of the waitress and I was so embarrassed because she was shocked that we were going halfsies. I really wanted to pay the whole thing but I didn’t want to emasculate him. Mistake #2? (I’ve learned to pay my portion so there’s no expectations after a date. I’m a big girl and I make enough money to support myself. I don’t need to date for free meals, I need to date to find love.)
He asked to walk me home. I was smitten–it was like a real date. I pretended that I was having a hard time walk with my boot, so I asked if I could hold onto his arm. SOOO smooth. I realized he was hiding muscles under his shirt! I’m officially wet at this point.
I asked him if he wanted to come up for another glass of wine, and he did. We sat on my couch talking about dating, the app we were using, my terrible choice in music b/c I like Lana Del Rey, etc.
We were talking and I was staring at him lovingly but he would look at me and turned away. I think I made him nervous. He had these big luscious lips that I wanted to kiss. So I asked him for a kiss. He pecked me on my lips. That’s it?! I must have asked for a kiss 5 times and each peck he let out a sigh… a good sigh I think. He said my lips felt nice. Score.
He said that he didn’t want to do anything more because that would ruin a relationship. I said, “Hold on. Wait. What? You want to date me?!” He said yes potentially and told me that I was cool. I came in my pants.
When he left, I gave him one last peck on the lips and a hug, and he told me that I felt nice. He said he wanted to see me again next Monday. I was smitten. A guy I like, likes me back. What a rare occasion. And he seemed like a good guy and just up my alley.
Monday comes and I texted him in the morning to confirm plans. No response.
Wednesday comes and I texted him, “I guess liking Lana Del Rey was a bigger deal breaker than I thought.” No response. At this point, I’ve already stalked his location on the app. Googled his phone number. Found out his last name. Google mapped his home in New Jersey. LinkedIn stalked him.
I texted him 2 weeks later to critique my fantasy football line up. No response.
This was my final text to him. No surprise, no response.

In hindsight I guess it was for the better? My lovely gentlemen followers, please tell me what I did wrong. I let the crazy out too early right? I knew it.
Some men can’t handle assertive women. Your loss!
