Situation: After several failed attempts to talk on the phone (phone tag hell) we finally had a date and time set. It's not necessarily his fault, but the whole thing lost a little steam and I wasn't as excited to see him, so starting value is 90.
Action: I was running late to meet the guy, so it was nice that he called and offered to pick me up.
Reaction: Nice move, really considerate. +10
Action: Instead of going out at one of the nice bars in the area we were originally going to meet at, he took me to some whole in the wall pub on the fringe of town.
Reaction: Not a great idea to change plans at the last minute. I was excited about going to a nice spot and was dressed accordingly. . . but I figured maybe he knew the place well and it was his favorite. I'll give it a shot. -5
Action: It was a sports bar, and I figured maybe we'd catch the red sox game, not exactly my idea of fun on a date, but I'm open minded. Turns out he hates baseball.
Reaction: Why the hell do you take someone to a rank-ass sports bar if you're not interested in sports? Certainly not for all the unsavory people? -5
Action: The real reason is that it's next to a park and he wanted to go for a walk afterwards.
Reaction: Okay, fine. But now I'm starting to get suspicious and annoyed. -5
Action: Except that his idea of walk, is going by the water for a sloppy make-out session.
Reaction: The second bait and switch of the night. NOT COOL. One small/innocent kiss on a first date is fine (toward the end). But in my mind, and I bet the mind of many others, a kiss means the end of the first date is near. So, unless you're ready to end the date, don't do it. It makes the rest of the date VERY awkward. –10
Action: Then, there came the tongue.
Reaction: OH GOD MAN DON'T DO IT! Let the girl be the one to initiate tongue action on a first date. If she wants it she'll do it. Suffice it to say, the tongue did not work wonders on me. -10
Action: To make matters worse, despite his tries to talk about other topics when I made it clear I wasn't into making out, at this point he had nothing left to say.
Reaction: All I could think about at this point was his uninvited nasty tongue! -5
FINAL SCORE: 60
You can learn a lot about women from the game of golf. The lesson here is that you do well when you follow through on your swing. He changed the date spot on me at the last minute. He used walking in the park as an excuse for groping me. He didn't follow though very well. With the tongue tackling terror and bad conversation on top of that, he won't be seeing this little lady anytime soon.
