Went 2 online dates the same day: secret fatty catfished the 1st, then personality of a door on the 2nd. So yesterday I had a break from the intense workload for both job and university I had in the past week and just decided to get a date. Due to being really busy I couldn't go out and actually meet new girls so decided to go online Girl #1 (not gonna say names) is from Tinder, when I mentioned around 7:30 for a date, she asked if it could be earlier because she had a meeting the next day.. uhh okay 7pm is already early but fine I'll meet you at 4:30 then. proceeds to get a "real date" with an appropriate timeslot of 7pm. So I randomly found this 96% match girl #2 on okcupid and even though she didn't give me her number so I couldn't call her to have a better grasp of her personality (which is kind of a red flag), she still agreed to meet me in the same day at 7:30 so I thought to myself that she's atleast spontaneous. I meet girl #1, I guess correctly that she's from Romania. She's wearing the biggest jacket so I can't really take a good look. Her face was a bit round so I got a bit skeptical. Anyway we still went for a walk around the park and when I've asked her if she works out her reply is "no but I walk every day to work" later on when I find that she's a vegan, she also says "I stopped eating meat, but I can't stop sugar because it's so addictive!!"... okay 2 kinda yellow flags but there's still hope, let's roll to my favorite pub. So we get to the place, she takes off her jacket and... HOLY SHIT her arm is 3 times bigger than mine. "umm I'm going to the toilet, grab yourself a drink, sit on a sofa and I'll meet you right after". Ran to the toilet, texted my friend, took a deep breath, came back and just ordered a half pint so I can get out of there as quick as possible. Still we chatted for around 30 minutes, surprisingly she hates fast foods, goes to metal gigs and works in healthcare (thankfully she doesn't deal with patients). She also told me her Tinder pictures were from years ago.... anyway I still wished her good luck with her promotion meeting and that's it. Went back home At home I found 2 of my girl flatmates and told them about my endeavor and they laughed really hard they just told me they were going to "back me up" my 2nd date. Even though girl #2 had 96% match, her essays were really bland, so bland that my one of my flatmates even said "she seems basic af". Anyway I thought it couldn't get worse than the 1st one so I just said "yea why not"... boy was I wrong. We made up a sign, in case the girl is hot they would give me a thumbs up, if not then they would do X. So I finally meet girl #2, not bad looking but not good looking as well, atleast she wasn't fat so let's see what lies underneath. I instinctively guess that she's from Lithuania as a 2nd try, her face barely changes at all. Like such a great and unusual guess but no reaction. "Alright your turn to guess where I'm from" and she just says she is bad at it and doesn't even try... umm okay. One more minute of random banter and we arrive at the pub where my flatmates were waiting. They looked at my date from across the room and do an X with their arms. Again I'm not gonna spend money on a girl in which there's a heavy chance I will never see again so I went to the toilet again and told her to get a drink and sit on the corner, which is the best place. timeskip= my flatmates told me she was waiting for me at the bar to see if I was coming back to pay for her drink and then she didn't know where to sit as if she was on a first date of her life facepalm =end timeskip So I comeback again with a half pint but still let's at least give it a nice shot. I ask open ended questions but get bland replies. I mention cool stuff I've done like art galleries, dancing classes, gym, make fun of the songs that were playing in the pub (which were really famous and this girl had no clue what they were). She finally asks me a question, and it's the most boring thing you can ask on a date: what do you do for work? To which I really try as hard as I can to fetch a reaction and just reply KFC. No reaction yet she asks "what do you do there?" and I reply "flip burgers"... no reaction whatsoever. At this point I'm facepalming on the inside. Regardless I still tell her of some stuff that I do and might as well go down to her boring level and say "what about you?". She literally word for word just replied "my job is really boring, I just work in an office and look at excel"... me: "do you do anything else?" she replies: "not really, I'm kinda busy"... huh The whole thing basically went down like a monologue, me talking 95% of the time, my flatmates sitting at the corner were just laughing their ass off the entire time. I wasn't attracted to girl#1 at all since she weighed 20kgs more than me but atleast she had something to say, girl#2 was a complete snoozefest After I finish my beer, the girl just leaves and I just look around the pub to see if there are any actual potential dates around. Sunday almost 9pm.. pretty much only old people in the pub so I just chat up the bartender guys who tell me I have the patience of a saint. I ain't even mad. Actually I'm happy that I've only spent money on 2 beers for myself and 5minutes to walk to the venue. One of my flatmates said "I was laughing but I felt bad for you, that bitch was basic af". We just laughed it out and had a nice evening chatting about random stuff
