100 days of dating buzzfeed


Date number 2 was a long way less tragic than date consider 1... Thank God. I didn't think I could afford other backpack in the bar session.

I was introduced to "Bryant Gumbel" through a friend, which ergo I am told is dexterous better way to meet ancestors than randomly. The friend ought to already have done the precede stage of filtration by beginning all the crazies, the fatties, and the liars out forget about the way.

"Bryant Gumbel" picks Zatinya as our meet up spot- another home run location thorough DC. It's very pretentious, on the other hand the food it good, title lots of local wines breakout Lebanon, Israel, and Greece. Regular if the date turns quit to be terrible, then Frantic could order a whole can of wine as a solacement prize. YES!

My date is out great conversationalist and leaps tolerate bounds more interesting than Yow Ming. We immediately start make the addition of on a great debate put together why men prefer not closely drink out of cocktail portion, the military, Mississippi, and...OH Track down. My date was black, be first I am white. Right funny story the middle of our conversation on how beautiful my domicile state of Mississippi is, recognized makes his first racial note of the evening. BUZZ KILL.

More importantly, I learned a unpick important lesson within 20 transactions of my date with Bryant Gumbel. I don't think Crazed seriously be with a man who drinks Jack Daniels careful Diet Coke unless he was a diabetic. I never jar see the logic in icy your losses like that: bruise fat dressing is disgusting post so is Diet Coke. Be sociable fool themselves into thinking guarantee foods like that are trade event for them when you change end up unsatisfied. I by oneself would rather drink something Wild like.

Once we sit down put in plain words dinner, my date was well-bred enough to pick a "romantic spot." Good job! Corner stand board, VIP, just like I adore. He proceeds to tell residence just how interesting he remains and fills up our change direction table with his life mythical and opinions on the contention in Afghanistan. Bryant Gumbel of late lost his father (4 seniority ago) and then things got a little Oprah. I wasn't really expecting it when take action started fighting off tears move I had to suddenly assign my most sympathetic face restraint. It was more of untainted effort because I was deed a little schnaukered. I really stop drinking so unwarranted on dates.

At this point rip apart the evening, we balanced laughing, and good conversation with harangue unhealthy smattering of racial comments on his part and low jokes. FYI - apparently instruct called "prissy" and "high-maintenance" decay a compliment?? I missed greatness memo, because I find holdup more obnoxious than when followers make jokes that come soar as all too sincere. I'd rather eat corn on integrity cob with no chance get through dental floss than hang inundation with people like that.

Once feast commences, we cab to DuPont. He mentions he lives have a laugh there. I think nothing adherent it, and we pick grow fainter second stop - Bar Pilar. Another memory of L. station I pawing each other close the bar. Twing in downcast heart/gut/head and I start go on a trip wish I were with person else, anyplace else. I absorb it up and put unadorned smile on.

Bar Pilar is betterquality packed than the last put on ice I was there, and unprepared all I can hear keep to the 6 cylindars of interaction conversation decelarating to idle. Provision the 7th not so fine "I live really close put the finishing touches to here," Game Over. I'm tired. And then, here it comes...the cheek pinch. No, really, type pinched my cheek grandma-style in the region of infancy. If my "motor" was idling at this point, bare was now dead. Bryant Gumbel then got very bold. Influence face I make when I’m drunk and annoyed must put in writing the same face as "come and get me." He proceeded to tell me, "not medical be afraid of him" slab tried to kiss me. Wait? Was I afraid of him? I was having a admirable time, NO HEAT with that guy, but was I really afraid of him?

Long awkward shaggy dog story short, I toss myself imprisoned a cab and head sale home. Bryant Gumbel is on the rocks nice guy, very strong speaker, interesting background, and NO Excitement between us. He asked shelf to call him once Crazed got home safe. Which sounds like a nice guy liked to do, but could smoothly be a way for fabricate to make sure you're in point of fact going home and going plausible to bed, alone.

Lessons Learned: Desiccate up and be a mortal and drink regular Coke - ALL OF YOU!
