Went on a blind date with a guy I barely knew but who striked me as smart and kind of witty – well he spent the whole time talking about his job and hobbies, which I at first found interesting, but when I tried to comment on something, he would usually talk over me and continue with his monologue, as if he didn’t care for my opinion at all. He suggested we go for a walk and then simply lead the way without discussing it with me (and he knew I was unfamiliar with the city and didn’t know where he was taking me). He would also often try to appear taller than me, standing up when I was sitting or walking in a way that would push me off the sidewalk and down into the street. At first I tried not to mind it and when there were some awkward silences I asked him questions about himself and such, but frankly after a time it got boring so I started staying silent, waiting if he maybe asked me something – he didn’t. Well suffice to say there won’t be a second date.
