Wait...you want me to pay after you just unloaded all your custody issues on me?

Hey y'all it's been a minute since I've posted. Mostly because life got in the way but also because I was lazy and didn't have it in me to come up with witty posts lol. At least I'm honest right? So today's dating entry is about a fella I met on Match. I joined up not too long ago thinking that if the guys were also paying for it they'd take it more seriously right? So far this is my 3rd person to go on a date with from this site and so far, I'm still single. I'll fill you in on the other dudes later in another post. For the sake of anonymity I'm going to name this bloke "Shawn". So, Shawn and I have been talking for probably just under 2 weeks. He messaged me first on Match and I was pretty interested based on what he had in his profile. I wasn't totally attracted to him but when you get to be my age you kinda don't care as much about that stuff as you did in your 20's. We moved from Match to texting and y'all, this fool texts me ALL THE TIME so you would think he was interested right? He proceeds to ask me out for a lunch date which is not normal but it's summer, so why not? We meet for lunch and thank goodness he looks like himself minus this big ass bump on his eye that I CANNOT stop looking at lol. Anyways, lunch is going ok...he's drinking a lot of beer (I only had 2), he's talking nonstop mostly about him and then he gets to the part where he wants to share with me about his divorce and custody issues. Y'all, I don't mind dating a dude who's been divorced and I don't mind dating a dude who has offspring BUT I do not care to hear about all that shit on a first date. To top it all off, this mother effer has me pay for my own meal. I can afford my own food, that's not the point. If you can't afford to date, then you shouldn't be dating. I get SO tired of these guys asking me out and then not wanting to pay. It just sends a message that you're either 1) not interested in me or 2) you can't afford to buy me a couple beers and sandwich...either way, I'm out. There will not be a 2nd date with Shawn. The good news is, I have another date tonight with a different guy and maybe I'll be posting something good about him later? I really need to post about all the other dumb dates I've been on since my last post in March. I'm just tired y'all. Dating in the 21st century blows. See ya next post!
