This...this is just hilarious.
Here, enjoy this story for making me laugh:
I was at this Texas steakhouse (this is very much irrelevant to the story but I love details in stories, dammit) while on vacation with my girlfriend. A couple was seated, in a booth, right behind us. It was very obvious that this was a first date and this couple had met through a dating site (because some of the things they said referenced the dating site and their conversation clearly indicated that this was really the first time they had talked, in person).
For the next 30 minutes, my GF and I eavesdropped in on their conversation to see how things went (we both love romance and people falling in love so we were hoping for a happy ending). But the man was an utter, complete, narcissistic, douche-nugget. He bragged about himself the whole time. Where he went to school, how hard his engineering degree was, how expensive his education was, how rich his parents were, how much money he made at his very first engineering job (it was 75k a year...I know, more irrelevant information), how he has been promoted twice and is the best/smartest employee ever, how he wants to be married and share his money and power with a family (this is not so bad if it was by itself in a conversation but in context, it is still pretentious), and so forth.
The poor gal just said, "uh-huh. Uh-huh. Oh wow." And her "oh wows" are the types of "oh wows" you hear an adult say to a child that is proud of their noodle glue-art. It wasn't the type of "oh-wow" an adult says to another adult when they are clearly impressed.
And when she would talk about herself for even a little bit, he'd cut her off and start talking about himself, again.
I cringed every time he bragged more about himself. And I winced every time he'd talk over her. It was painful to see this take place.
I wanted to say something to the guy. But here is the happy ending you wanted to read. At the end of the date, the guy, so very very sure he had won her heart, told her, "I like you. I want to spend more time with you. How about I pick you up, tomorrow, at 7?"
She paused before replying. And she said, "No. That's definitely not going to happen."
He then said, "Oooooooooooooookkaaaaaay..." Then nothing was said until they both left. My GF, being the kind person she is, said that he was just nervous and inexperienced and to not judge him too harshly for bombing horribly on a first date.
Oh well. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this story.
