From Not Always Right: If You Don’t Get Hint, Boris Bounce You!
I have been out of the dating scene for quite a while; after someone went almost Hannibal Lecter on me, I noped out of that scene with a vengeance.
I recently paid off my car, which is a huge thing to me because I have struggled with debt for a while. None of my family lives close, and most of my friends are out of town, so I decide that I’m going to go celebrate at a local pub that has the best local beers.
When I get there, it’s about a five-minute wait, but then I get to sit right away. After the waiter greets me and comes back to bring me my drinks, this is where it starts to get weird.
A random guy about my age plops into the seat across from me. I give him a look, and he starts babbling about traffic and some other excuse and I should have called him if I knew I was going to be early.
I stop him — or try to — and tell him quite calmly that he has the wrong table, I don’t know him, and I’m not comfortable with him sitting down in my space.
He starts telling me that that is the whole point of a blind date and that he is now going to show me a good time.
By this time, the waiter has come back with my drinks and is looking back and forth at us. I stop the random guy again and let him know I didn’t make a blind date with him, I don’t know him, and I want him out of here.
The waiter immediately tells me to get my stuff and he will reseat me somewhere else. He sits me a bit closer to the bar, but the guy follows. As the waiter sets down the drinks, he tells me to hang on he’s going to go grab the manager.
