It was all downhill from about the end of February onward.B.

She did, not long after I sat down to my bagel.'<br /><br />Maybe he should have just waited a couple of minutes for a call, before he decided to blow her off in favor of tasty tasty bagel.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455136756424949727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-36691901662056662122012-03-07T16:33:38.082-05:002012-03-07T16:33:38.082-05:00I guess there could be more to the story, or it co...I guess there could be more to the story, or it could be a "you had to be there" sort of thing, but based on the story as written I think she was just being playful (if perhaps a little silly) and you should have kept up and played along.<br /><br />She set up a surprise and you went off for a bagel alone.

Additionally, there are plenty of times wherein I do not take a side, or think that the OP was more of a bad date, but I don't always advertise my opinions.<br /><br />Based on what I've seen, enough readers fall on both sides of the fence on enough stories to keep things as they are. "The other ones" to which you refer could be almost any story that generates debate, such as this one.JMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362998962851574254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-29346853252471368782012-03-07T11:27:12.686-05:002012-03-07T11:27:12.686-05:00I think she sounds crazy, but I also think it'...I think she sounds crazy, but I also think it's kind of rude to go to a restaurant, order food, and start eating it during a date when your date isn't there. At that point you have pretty much abandoned the date (however justifiably) and it's not too surprising that she was annoyed.BethRDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06260687520253106050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-9882093403054950762012-03-07T10:48:27.996-05:002012-03-07T10:48:27.996-05:00Have you ever been anything but team OP?

It would probably make for a more interesting site if we could also see the other ones. Not that I don't love it the way it is... Just saying. <br /><br />I am with the OP on this story, though. She went running, and fast. Even if he could have caught up with her, why should he run after a girl on a first date?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-58203782780419787372012-03-07T10:04:08.029-05:002012-03-07T10:04:08.029-05:003.

He was in shape, had a solid sense of adventure, but realized that running after someone who comes across as insane would not be the wisest use of his time.
