do I have something in my teeth….

After prodding from friends I decided to actually go out with one of the men I meet while dropping fruit.  I had a total of 42 business cards (not bad for only spending $28.57 total on bruised fruit)

I had the “no thank you” pile, and the “hmm not too bad” pile, and the eleven I thrown out already. I took all 13 ‘not to bad’ business cards threw them in a hat (well actually I was not sitting near a hat and I’m lazy so I threw them in my pillowcase still on pillow I might add) and pulled one out.

Buys potatoes ~check

Oh so yummy looking ~check

Somewhere back in Canada my mother was smiling and on one knee thanking god!

I sent the fruit doctor, oh I’m sorry, the fruit-dentist an email. He replied within 10minutes…not bad, not bad! We decide to meet for coffee mid day between meetings (for both of us) I walk in and wow, yeah, fruit-dentist man is even more attractive then I remember him to be.

SIDEBAR: personal history has taught me that very attractive men equals douche-bag….but I try to throw that thought out the window.

Everything is going well, we chat about my job (aka jobs!) his new job (he just graduated from dental school) potatoes (I couldn’t not ask what he made with them) He’s talking about how much he loves his new job and how being cosmetic dentists really makes the world a better place.

AND THEN….. (you knew there was a THEN coming!)

He starts in on everything that is wrong with my teeth! From the colour, to the point of my custpid’s (?—canine teeth), the one filling he can see, my gummy smile, and so on….

I was like talking looking down, trying not to smile, and somewhat covering my mouth.  (Characteristics, which are so not me!) I decided to leave the date early.

Fruit-Dentist: I thought your meeting was at 4?

Me: I know, I’m sorry it got rescheduled just before I got here.

Fruit-Dentist: Ok, well, you owe me a rain-check.

Where? In your dentist chair to fix my terrible teeth!? Is this guy serious! 

First off, I would like to think I have very nice straight teeth for never having them whitened or having had braces or the like.

In fact, the thing that bothers me the most about this is I am a teeth person. (Apparently, not as much of a teeth person as he is)

If you have bad teeth you don’t have a chance with me. If you are my friend and you have bad teeth you are an amazing amazing person because I have overlooked this and overlooking bad teeth is hard for me.

And then this douche-bag has to go and tell me I could use some teeth “improvements”

Well at least he paid for my coffee!

 

FACT:  Fruit-Dentist made himself mashed potatoes.

(reason #___why I’m single: I don’t have perfect teeth)

'Missed' Messages….

(I’m writing this from the train, not even home yet)

I had a coffee date today with my “missed connections” guy. He had posted a craigslist-missed-connection about me at the Thrillist.com party last week.  I found it via friends (which is how I have become aware of all 12 of my “missed mystery men”)

However, this is the first guy I have ever meet or contacted. I should have stuck to just feeling good about the complement.

We planned to meet for coffee, he really wanted to do dinner or late night drinks all last week, but I told him my schedule was full, and this was the only time I could fit him in.  Half true: more true that I was never going to meet some random “missed connections” guy at night!

So I get a text about 5minutes before our scheduled meet time “just getng out of showr b 10 order me a mocca anything.”

I sit down wait and he texts “3 blcks. I’ll drink whatev you get.”

So, he’s late and texts like a 14 year old, not the best start, but I shrug it off. I order him a mocha something and I get a tea.

He arrives, wow! This boy is cute! Really? Like where did he come from?!

We start talking and then about 5-10 minutes into the conversation:

Missed-Man: you should finish up so we can get back to my place, I have a date at 7.

Me: Excuse me?

Missed-Man: You know. I have a thing later, you said you had a thing. We should just finish up and get back to my place.

Me: Your place for what?

Missed-Man: (laughs) You’re such a tease. (laughs)

Me: Pardon?

Missed-Man: Come on. (throws back his drink) You ready to go? Lets get this done.

Me: Get this done? I’m sorry I didn’t realize you posted in the casual encounters section.

Missed-Man: It’s the Internet what did you expect?

Me: I don’t know…

(He laughs)

Me: Wow (uncomfortable laugh)

Missed–Man: Whatever, fine, miss out on this! Bitch

He walked away and I sat there dumbfounded. I’m sorry, dude, but based on your emails about how nice I looked, my beautiful smile across the room, and how you would have loved to gotten a chance to talk to me and the fact you agreed to meet me for coffee, after you went out on the internet to try and find me I assumed you, well assume…..I guess I should just never assume anything especially when it comes to men!

FACT: Oh and I had to pay for his coffee! So I guess he at least got that out of me!
