It wasn't a date but for all intents and purposes it had all the elements minus the sexual attraction.

Quick rundown: I saw that it was a friend's birthday on FB. I haven't seen her in like 5 years but I text her "Happy Birthday." I asked her what she was doing for her birthday and she told me she had not plans so I offered to take her to lunch to catch up and b/c I just wanted to go to one of my favorite spots. She accepted and we scheduled for Saturday.

Saturday comes and after some schedule delays including her trying to flake on me at the last minute. We arrive at the location which, of course, had closed from 3 to 5 to prepare for dinner so we have to find another spot. No big deal the food is cheaper at the second spot anyway.

Positive Points: We had a good time. We reminiscence about the past and recant funny stories etc. She had flirted with the waiter who was a portly older gentleman at the beginning and so throughout the meal he was aggressively hitting on her. At one point he just handed her a pen and a piece of paper and said "You are not leaving without giving me your number." I found this very amusing.

Negative Points: I carried the whole conversation. We literally were there for almost 4 hours and she did not ask me one question about myself, my work, my family and anything going on in my life. Not one damn question. :deadmanny: At one point I just stopped talking just to see if she would ask. Nope we just sat there in silence until I picked the conversation back up. :deadmanny: But of course when I asked about the baby daddy she had nothing but negative shyt to say about him, his wife and how she never wanted him anyway.


The Conclusion: As we are walking back to our cars she tells me she wants me to come meet her at her job for lunch sometime since she works close to my house. I tell her that since I work from home that could be a possibility.

Her: You working from home? :dwillhuh:
Me: Yes, I have my own business. Been doing it full times for over 2 years.
Her: Really?:dwillhuh:
Me: Yeah. We did 8K in sales last month.
Her: OMG yes please come up! If you need anything (she works retail and gets paid off commission) I got you. I can get you whatever you need.:krs:
Me: :skip: We'll see.

Final thoughts:
Although, I did enjoy myself I was really shocked at the inconsideration that she showed. I wasn't offended b/c I don't offend easily but damn. How do you not ask one damn question about the person who offered to do something nice for you just b/c. I know ya'll complain about women a lot but is this level of inconsideration common in women or did I just get a dud?




PS She won't be seeing me again.
I think a lot of women (and a few but growing number of males) are like that and it's because of poor communication skills for the most part. I don't think she was doing it on purpose.

My last girl was the same way in terms of not asking much questions and me keeping the conversation alive. There would be times while in the bus, car or whatever it would be dead silent. A bunch of awkward silences..

I'm thinking "Is she even interested, cause she doesn't really ask me questions about myself?". After a while I would volunteer information about myself. Like I would ask her "Do you have any siblings?" To which she would answer, and then I'd be like "oh yeah? I have (number) siblings".

Nah it's because of lack of interest. She's older than me. Her comminicaton skills are just fine. She had no problem flirting with our server.

Idk why I came back to this thread, I'm tight again about how rude homegirl was, I gotta stop coming back because this is a huge pet peeve of mine and it doesn't help that a nikka like me can be petty sometimes :why:

That sounds like a friend that doesn't want to be your friend to me. Why didn't she even ask one question shows she doesn't care about anyone but herself

I mean I know people ain't shyt but the lack of consideration and manners at the most basic level was pretty shocking to me. She didn't even pretend like she gave a fukk.
I had dates like that. That's why you can't treat everyone like a queen and so what if they call you a fukkboi. We wouldn't be one if you wasn't a fukk girl. Truth.com

On the real, it didn't sound like a date to me. It sounded like you catching up with a homie but if you paid for her, I don't know, that might be a date.

I honestly think this is the case. But 4 hours is a little much. I can't role with someone like that. I don't see her offering me much in the way of friendship,
Honestly, Pearl, you should just stick to men. Convincing men is a lot easier than women as long as it ain't marriage and making it work. Just work on yourself. Be the best Pearl you can be and learn what men want and like, find what he can't live without, be consistent and you will find a simp in no time who will give you his world.
