I met a guy but…
It was all wrong. Well, he was a nice guy, but some things about him were deal breakers. We start dancing. His cologne smells good, but the hint of cigarette smoke on his breath does not. I wasn’t sure if it was him until he stepped out for a smoke break. He came back smelling like his cologne, freshly smoked cigarettes, AND weed. Yeah, don’t do the whole smoking thing, legal or illegal. Deal breaker.
Afterward, he wants to get something to eat. So we head to a diner and I’m driving. I find out that his license is suspended. Apparently, he’s had seizures before and his doctor suspended his license. Then something happened where he was caught driving with a suspended license. Yeah, that’s a deal breaker. Not the seizure thing, although I’m not too comfortable with that. But the license thing bugs me. Dealt with a guy with the same situation. And I really don’t want to be in the position to have to drive some dude around. I’m not a cab. And sometimes, I just wanna be the girl and let the man take the wheel. Damn, can a sista relax a bit? No because my man can’t drive, so I have to. Deal breaker.
He asked me numerous times if I had a man. Yes, I know it’s hard to believe that a catch like me is single. It happens to the best of us. Anyway, he’s thinking that I may be spoken for and could be out cheating on my nonexistent man. He goes on to say that he found out his ex had cheated on him. How did he find out? His son told him. Strike three. Children. Been there, done that. Not going there again. Call me selfish or whatever you want, but I don’t want the drama. Honestly, I’ve been in one too many relationships where I was not in the top ten of his list of priorities. And frankly, I’m sick of it. I don’t wanna hear about how everything else going on in your life is more important than me. Again, a deal breaker.
At some point, his phone died. I took his number but he couldn’t take mine. I dropped him off at the bus stop and that was that. Of course, I haven’t called. Ain’t no point in starting something that I don’t want started. It’s highly possible that I may see him out again. I guess I have to find a nice way to tell him that he’s not for me. Hopefully, he’ll find that one who is not bothered by smoking, suspended licenses and children. I’m not that one.
Moving on! Who’s up next?
