Grounds for dismissal?
Thank you to the kind Saturday Single to allowing me to vent and guest post. So I met this guy who’s a doctor (hot) he’s a month younger than me (acceptable but against my natural predilections) and saved his sister’s life when she OD’d by cutting open her throat his first year in med school (insanely impressive but a little scary) Emails and IMs immediately follow. Turns out he’s some hard core genetic researcher. I don’t understand all the words but I think there is some sort of specialization in liver disease- which if he saw my liver up close, probably wouldn’t be interested, but so far I have him fooled and smitten. Sounds brilliant when he talks about work, sincere when he talks about his family, and slips into ebonics on when talking about music or me and is the whitest guy ever. It takes me about 10 mintues to decode his texts because he makes up acronyms for sentences that aren’t common place and arbitrarily skips letters which I would argue are critical.
Exhibit A: Fts i lft my rx pd smewhre and just got a mssge sme 1 usd it. do i cal popo or trk and beat hs ass?
I leave you with that one for a little. Like a brain teaser.
Anywho, having been crushed (again) recently and in need male attention, I tell him I’ll meet him for a drink by the hospital where he’s still working. We have a fine time- it’s a little awkward, but whatever. The date ends he walks me to my car. We hugged it out and tells me he’s parked right up the street. I offer to give him a lift and then we drive – oh I don’t know 5 miles to his car- it’s still on campus but unless he was in the mood to run a marathon at midnight i would NEVER walk that far…unless I was in ny where the rules are different. Then he proceeds to give me an ipod touch he says he bought for me bc i like gadgets i guess and tells me he got me a gym membership and wanted to know if I wanted to work out with him over the weekend- that or I can just go pick up my membership card at any time- huh?
Oh that- and he wants me to go to hong kong for xmas with him but he’s never been out of the country before probably because he spends all his money buying total strangers ipods and gym memberships.
P.S. I met him 48 hours ago.
Cheers-
(this is a guest post from a wonderful friend. Feel free to email me any dating stories!)
