RE: How NOT to Behave on a Blind Date
I think you might actually be more interested in yourself than in anyone else.
Most single people who want to be in a couple suffer from a problem of desire but an unwillingness to discover the other person inside the skin shell. The division of male/female in your mind is the primary cause of you not being able to relate. The division is mostly an illusion, for when you decide you don't desire anyone or anything and you see the world as a giant interconnected beast that doesn't care about your ego, you will easily find everything to satisfy you, and more. Basically, at that point, it will be a matter of which fantasy to make into reality...
Plus, I thought you mentioned something about wanting escorts? If you are into vapid exchanges of physical encounters, then perhaps dating is not really meant for you. Nothing in your behavior points to you being actually interested in this woman. It does however point to the fact that you're too wrapped up in your ego, self-esteem and identity to bother getting to know your date.
haha I agree with all your points, the escorts was a joke, not true at all!
this post was exaggerated for comical effect as well, it's more like a series of dates over the years rolled into one. It's more of an internal comical monologue than anything else, just loosely based on real facts.
I'm not as awkward or as much of a douche as I made myself out to be. Thanks for having a read again Stella
hey trafalgar, I just wanted to say that I think it's really cool you were brave enough to say things like that stupid condom joke! That's AWESOME. Because, in addition to what Stella said(and I think there's a lot of value in it), it's also good to not be TOO worried about the other person. I think I fall into this trap a lot, where I can go hang out with someone, and be so focused on my perceptions of them them I forget to enjoy myself for who I am.
Another way to look at it is a possible lens of filtering, you don't actually want just any girl. you want someone that is down to have fun in a way you can relate too, vinegar to your baking soda eh? sure, maybe she's pretty, but that lasts a whole of about two weeks as for as these things go. So I say, FUCKING SAY STUPID SHIT!!!! Be ridiculous, do things that scare you. If she can't step, too bad for her. You'll know when you meet someone that can =)
haha ya I agree
someone who's intelligent and secure with a good sense of humor is a must
I woudln't be compatible with the easily offended
Oh, I was being so fucking serious.....which happens to me occasionally. I knew it was comedy and that you wrote that for comic effect. Sometimes I am just an ass on purpose, to see what happens. This was it
You're telling me that comedians often exaggerate or fabricate elements of the stories they tell for comedic effect? HMMMWHAAAAA?!?!?!
It's true, folks. Please expect 20% to 100% of a stand-up routine or a comedian's autobiography or a post on Steemit under the "funny" tag to be made-up bullsquat. Hope that didn't ruin it for you.
Only 10-15% of my stuff is made-up bullsquat, in fact. I try to keep it real. :)
haha I doubt i qualify as a 'comedian' but I try to come up with a few interesting lines for others to snort up
The definition of "comedian" includes comedy writers, so I think you qualify.
Over time, I got to learn how to understand your entertaining humor and I can relate in some weird ways 🙀 I don't even dare to joke sarcastically about my life and dating episodes in public 😜 I decided to enjoy my "single" adventure.
Just go with the flow and always bring a condom as Mamma would say
I haven't had a date in over two years but I like stellabella's comments. I also think we should be ourselves on dates and in every aspect of our lives. I would rather be alone than be with the wrong person. Be your true self and you will eventually attract the right person. I also believe in the law of attraction so I'm probably crazy. :D
It's presented as a joke, but he seems to put the opposite sex on a pedestal above himself. It's easy to see that as a self-esteem problem.
"You know your self esteem isn't high when you're not so much threatened by the competition as by your date herself."
I don't think he'd be threatened by dates if he saw himself as equally (or more) worthy than the date is. He is entering into it with the assumption of having to justify himself to this person. In other words, his base assumption is that they are better, and he must prove himself. This is self-defeating, and all too common with western-men today.
"convince a woman I'd never met before that I wasn't a deranged serial killer was going to take all of my Jedi powers"
You don't need to convince a woman of anything, this isn't a used car sale.
ouch but very true.

I'm no expert dater, but some women I know are attracted to integrity and a willingness to serve others. Over time, when a woman sees that, well, there's hope in just being like that...dating is hard! First impressions, nervousness, all of that, but seek to be a great person to be with first.
