Bad Behavior

I have seriously had enough of bad male behavior. At this point I should probably just resign myself to hanging out with Mitch at gay bars like Halo as I did last night. It'll be good for my wallet too since they're running a $5 drink special for the next five months in honor of their five year anniversary. The drink changes every night and last night was cosmo night. Not exactly sure how many I had but let's just say I had enough that there was no way I could have responded to a 10:30 am text from a guy that read: Brunch? This is a guy I gave my number to recently. He seemed normal enough but apparently not. He has now texted me twice to ask me out. And he's asking not only on the day he wants to go out, but a mere hours before. Unbelievable! This kind of behavior is only acceptable from family and friends. What would make a guy think that he can get away with that especially when we haven't even been on one date? I was shocked the first time he did it and politely told him later that day that I already had plans. When he did it today, I was just disgusted and swiftly deleted the text. I recently blogged about how a guy will ask for your number if he's really interested. But what I failed to point out is that this gesture is just the first step in determining his interest. You then have to find out if the guy knows how to use your number or any other contact information. It seems as though technology has made idiots of men. No, you should not text, email, IM, or facebook someone for a date! Period. I've probably mentioned how I once knew a guy who tried to have text message sex with me. How weird is that?

Unbelievable is right! I am so disappointed and saddened by this type of behavior. What happened to common courtesy and common sense when trying to plan a date, in particular, a FIRST date? Apparently, the text messaging method has worked for this guy in the past and he continues to rely on this foolishness to snag a date.
Maybe someone should send him a text message in regards to the basic rules for planning a date...

LOL! Good idea.

This is just another sign of how date lazy men in DC can be! It's bad enough he only gave you a few hours notice, but apparently he didn't even want to be bothered with actually speaking to you! Was he planning on texting you throughout the date as well? Who needs actual face to face conversations when we have text messaging! Let's just get rid of the date all together and just stay at home and have a text date! No worries about getting dressed up or even having to do your hair! Scratch that because some guy may just try to pull that!

Yes, date lazy is a very good term for that. Good info to have though because he's obviously someone I wouldn't want to date.
