More Online Dating Fail
Jun. 24th, 2010 03:32 pmI'm not sure what it is, but friends-of-friends seem to be finding me via Facebook and asking me out with a greater and greater frequency, as of late. I'm not sure why they're approaching me, because most of them seem to have very few, if any, of the fundamental things in common with me. But one, in particular, is becoming quite the source of amusement for me and the couple other friends of mine whose profiles led this person to me.
This dude apparently found me through a friend's event invitation, and messaged me to ask about hanging out. We did seem to have a few things in common, and he must've caught me in an exceptionally good mood, because I foolishly said I might be open to that sometime. After getting the inside scoop from our mutual friends, however, it sounded like he was more of a casual hookup kind of dude, which isn't my type at all, so I was less interested, after that. And, well, he hasn't exactly been helping his case.
He's been inviting me to various things every week or so since, and on several occasions, even after he's invited me to something and I've told him I'm busy, he'll re-invite me *again* on the day-of. For some reason, that really hits my pet peeve nerve, and having to re-iterate that, hey, I said I already had plans, gets spectacularly annoying. I'm a busy person, and I like to take things at my own pace, and being bothered by virtual strangers tries my patience pretty badly, sometimes.
But, the amusing part is, after a few iterations of this, where does he decide to invite me next? HOT TUBBING. The first invite was for the soaking pool at the Kennedy School, which is at least a neutral location, but the second invite was for hot-tubbing at his place, with a few friends of his.
Of course, neither one sounded like a good time to me, because, call me crazy, but hot-tubbing as a first-meetup? Even if a few other people are present, that just sounds REALLY. AWKWARD.
I've since told him as much, and hopefully, that'll be enough to get him off my case. Because now I basically have no desire to meet this person, uh, ever.
And that is the story of Hot Tub Guy.
